toofarnorth Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 if it is Hart then this suggests that AP's sacking was to do with non-footballing issues as he's certainly no more qualified. Far less qualified i'd say. He's had more clubs than i've had hot dinners in the last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alehouseboys Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Can anybody really see NC appointing a loser like Hart? I reckon this is just a 'red herring', how exactly do 'Paul Hart teams' fit in with this scintillating football "The Southampton Way" ideal courted by Cortese? We just need to sit back and see what happens, they've managed to keep most player signings completely under wraps til now. We've got too many drama queens around here, the ones that would probably have been calling for Pardew's head had we lost Saturday but who's world has ended since he's gone. Shame but...next...

Saint J 77 Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Next Tony Adams will emerge as a favorite with the bookies again. And we all know where that rumour started last time. I can't for 1 second believe we will get Paul Hart. Pardew was doing a great job here and has been treated very unfairly. I feel really sorry for him and his team of coaches. If we get in a cheap replacement then I will start to wonder if there is an issue with money now our beloved owner has passed away. There is no manger who we can realistically expect to take charge that will do a better Job this is madness. Radio Solent just said Eddie Howe is now a favorite and the DJ, who I am guessing was a cherries fan, was begging him not to leave in a stupid voice over to some music. There is no one that has been mentioned as a potential new manager that is going to make us a better team than we are right now.

Chez Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 When the skates sacked Hart the first thing I said was snap him up for our youth development. The guy is brilliant at that side of the game. As for management, the Skates fans turned on him when he looked to get a 0-0s (incluing against the bottom sides) in the season before last to ensure their safety. He achieved it, but most of the skates thought they should be looking to win games against the bottom teams not 0-0s. Personally I like the guy a lot. Despite the terrible constraints he was working under he never ever moaned. Contrast that with Grunt who moaned non stop from start to finish.

Chez Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 So we go from pardew who has a win percentage of over 50% to appointing someone with a win percentage of 30%. excellent. It all depends on what league you are in and more importantly the side you have available at the time. The skates team in the Prem at the time of his appointment were in free fall. Getting wins at that time would have been tough for any manager. That said it might be tougher for me to defend his Forrest and QPR periods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickG Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 This man?? The former Stockport, Blackpool. Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday player has had a series of short managerial reigns in the 18 months. After being appointed permanent manager following his caretaker spell at The Saints south coast rivals Portsmouth in July 2009, he was dismissed after just 13 games in charge after only two wins. In under a month, Hart was back in employment being named QPR manager a day after Jim Magilton’s exit from the Championship club. He lasted only 5 games at Loftus road before leaving. In March, Hart joined Crystal Palace after Neil Warnock left to take Hart’s old QPR position. After the club entered administration the play-off battle was substituted for a relegation battle following the 10 point deduction. Given the task of keeping them in the league, he did so with a 2-2 draw with Sheffield Wednesday, a result which relegated the hosts, a game they had to win to send Palace down in their place. Since July 2009, spanned across his three Clubs Hart had overseen 22 games, his clubs have won just 6 times. Prior to Portsmouth promotion Hart had a 16 game spell in charge of Rushden, where they won 4, drew 4, lost 8. He began his managerial career in charge of Chesterfield, where he achieved his highest win percentage of his managerial career 34.24%. He was sacked in 1991 following a disagreement with his chairman. Ten years later, with a spell at Leeds United’s youth academy (which provided most of the players for their David O’Leary reign) Hart became Nottingham Forest manager succeeding David Platt. In February 2004 he was sacked and later took over at Barnsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
