Norwich have admitted that the man they want is already employed, Mr Cortese

has said he wants a director of football and incoming transfer rumours have gone

very quite. Managers with the standing of AP don't seem to like DOF's or any

interference with transfers.

Mr C has said that situations have changed since he first started.

I get the distinct impression that AP is not quite so happy as when he first joined

so if he is approached by Norwich will he stay or will he leave Saints ?.

Norwich will be after Mark Robins, IMO.

 

Good call. At Rotherham, right? Done a pretty decent job considering the points deductions. They also seem to have a soft-spot for ex-players.

AP in todays Echo say's he'd love a Football Director to help ease the pressure on Pardew.

 

So in a nutshell, Alan Pardew is very happy still, go buy the Echo.

almost as far fetched as the conspiracy theory as to why an obscure Swiss business man bought a Southampton based football club in the first place...

OP so wrong on so many accounts.

 

Where EXACTLY does it say DOF in ANY interview or official comment?

 

Then FFS read the thread or watch the AP pre-Swindon interview. Do you SUGGEST that AP should have been the person watching Swindon at the weekend?

 

Just WHO do you propose to actually interview the 3 or 4 scouts we obviously need, read the emails from agents offering players, answer the phone calls, make the phone calls, put out the cones.

 

Norwich will want Guus Hiddink, not some poor Jack of all Trades like AP

You are more than right....Norwich have absolutely NO money and would struggle to pay any club comp on any contracted Manager....Sorry.:rolleyes:

 

Could end up being Butterfield and Crook already employed at The Canaries;)

indeedy. they're as skint as P****mouth and DF wouldn't leave Peterborough to go to rivals Norwich IMO.

 

Butterfield would be a good choice, but SSN has said that they are talking to their number 1 target, which does suggest that they ARE going external, somehow...!!

I think that is very obvious .... I think that AP is really "down" about the fact that SFC have only spemt money on ONE signing, whilst the weaknesses to be replaced are there for all to see ..... and the Team he has at present will NOT lift us up the Table

 

We either cannot attract players .... OR, like it or not, maybe Funds are not what they first seemed

 

I would like to think that AP is not the type of person to "jump ship" so soon after being appointed, but I am convinced that HIS plans are NOT going to schedule:cool:

Spoke to some Norwich fans Saturday and there was talk of the usual ones mentioned here.

 

Adkins Sc un thorpe

Robbins Rotherham

Tisdale Exeter

Scott Brentford

Tilson Southend

Stimpson Gillingham

Lambert Colchester.......On their own admission they like us will appoint someone out of the blue like Adie Boothroyd

 

There was also mention of Culverhouse ex Norwich but that would be similar to Butterfield and Crook in house. Like us they need experience and some Money. Not forgetting luck. We should hear today..is my guess.

 

I recomended JP and Wotte and told them The Dutch lark might be good for them but suggested Lowey as Director of football..I had to buy a few pints after that..

Scott is a good bet

Adkins Sc un thorpe ........ excellent manager... prob gone as far as he can with Scun

 

Robbins Rotherham ..... ditto

 

Tisdale Exeter

 

Scott Brentford .... tipped for higher things, will complete this season at Brentford IMHO

 

Tilson Southend ... excellent manager... would love to see what he could do at a 'bigger' club

 

Stimpson Gillingham.... hated in his first two years there but has turned it round now... prob now managing at his natural level

 

Lambert Colchester....... don't know much about him

 

Adie Boothroyd.... c*ck but decent manager at this level... if appointed could 'do a Keane' and take Norwich from bottom to top in this league

 

Loads of decent managers out there below Prem level ... Clough / Ferguson / Davis / Johnson / Warnock ......... how the hell did we end up with the krap we have had since WGS left?

SAINTS manager Alan Pardew has revealed he would welcome a sporting director at the club.

 

As exclusively reported in the Daily Echo on Saturday, executive chairman Nicola Cortese announced he will appoint an experienced football figure to oversee the playing side of the club.

 

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4550999.Pardew_in_favour_of_sporting_director/?ref=rss

 

Exactly how i knew he'd react - i think you'll find that with a high profile ''figure head'' as such, we'll be a much more attractive proposition to players.

 

Why are Nott's county signing these good players, and players like Kasper on 5 year deals? It's not because of their manager, no disrespect to him...it's because of Sven.

 

Having a highly thought of DoF in these levels of football seems to work really well.

"The job is very, very difficult and this is why the mention of a general manager here to take some of that burden away from the manager as we go forward probably wouldn’t be a bad thing"

 

Sounds like he's well up for it...

IMHO, I really think that AP fully expected to have brought in more players than he has at present ......... and his frustration at not having done that is obvious

 

Of course, we do not know the reasons behind this, but even with a -9, we are still a Big enough Club to be able to attract Div 1 type players to us I would have thought ???:cool:

Getting back to the point, Norwich have nicked Paul Lambert from Colchester.

 

Good news for Gillingham who play away at 'managerless-Colchester' tonight then.

 

A Gills mate saw Swindon on the opening day (Gills won 5-0) and apparently Swindon were rank, worse than most sides they played last season in Div 4.

 

Really hope we win tonight, the big crowd should lift the players surely?

Don't forget Boothroyd - ex-Norwich coach and still well regarded at Carrow Road.

Shows you what I know - just seen Lambert posts. Perhaps that 7-1 win didn't do Colchester many favours. Would be a great time to raid them for Simon Hackney though.

Gordon Strachan, hence why they say they'll bring someone in before the summer transfer window.

 

All imho of course.

 

Oh wise one, think back to whom Gordon Strachan wrote was the best administrator in football that he had worked with. You can rest assured that that person will be applying for the post with Strachan's blessings! :(
