Big John Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 A friend of mine, who is a friend of Mark Dennis says that they had a chat a couple of weeks back at St Mary's reception. I can't say what about I am afraid, but he was dresed up to the nines in his 'interview suit'. What would Dave Bassett be doing at Saints? Scouting? Coaching? PR?

Can you not say because you do not know or because its a secret?
REDARMY79 Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 Cant really see the benefit of getting someone like Bassett in, he consistently breeds long ball playing bully boy teams. At the moment we have a great mix of good football and tailored agression. All in my opinion obviously.
VectisSaint Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 Scouting i imagine Unlikely to be scouting if he was at St Mary's, unless it was a match day. If you are scouting you would normally go to Staplewood. I can think of worse people to have as Sporting Director, as long as doesn't get involved directly in the coaching side of the game. If Pardew is happy with Bertie then thats all that I care about, because it is their relationship that would be vital. Stilll think we could have done worse than stick with Wise and Bertie a few years back, we probably wouldn't have gotten into the mess we did, then again, we would not no be rid of Lowe and owned by a decent bloke and winning games again.

I think they mean scouting as in he might have been interviewed for a scouting role?
saint_mears Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 I think they mean scouting as in he might have been interviewed for a scouting role? yeah thats what i meant, scouting for players and future opponents.
crouchi Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 Dave Bassett - he's an embarrassment, hopefully never to be re-visited upon us
VectisSaint Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 yeah thats what i meant, scouting for players and future opponents. Ah, comprende now. Still if thats the case we could do a lot worse than Bassett, knows the game and especially the lower leagues inside out.
TopGun Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 Dave Bassett - he's an embarrassment, hopefully never to be re-visited upon us +1. He'd angle for a job for Wise no doubt too. No thank you. Those are bad memories past.
Master Bates Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 yeah thats what i meant, scouting for players and future opponents. Yey, go me
INFLUENCED.COM Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 For me Bassett would be a mistake, I simply do not like him, a poor mans Redcrap, would not be suprised if he was not one of the many that earnt a bundle off the bookies when the aforementioned left us to go down the road, a blagger imo
TopGun Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 After today's defeat we should sack Pardew and hire Mark Hughes.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 After today's defeat we should sack Pardew and hire Mark Hughes. Tongue. In. Cheek?
Tom Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 There is a Scouting vacancy advertised on the OS

david in sweden Posted 20 December, 2009 Posted 20 December, 2009 There is a Scouting vacancy advertised on the OS If this is the case, then he would be a good candidate. Quite a few people said they didn't like his tactics, style of play, but he did have some degree of success as a manager and obviously recognises talent when he ses it . Why not ?
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 20 December, 2009 Posted 20 December, 2009 I'll find out and report back as I know Dave. Not spoken to him for a while so it will be interesting to have a chat.
david in sweden Posted 21 December, 2009 Posted 21 December, 2009 After today's defeat we should sack Pardew and hire Mark Hughes. WHY ?.. surely we've drawn enough games this season already - haven't we ?
