Deppo Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Well you did say both of them were at the same club and they aren't. Are you calling me a liar as well?
saint lard Posted 30 August, 2010 Author Posted 30 August, 2010 Rumours of the return of Glenn Hoddle building up ! Fantastic appointment if it happens !!!!!!!!!! Only in your world and it would be a terrible appointment,imo.
Crab Lungs Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 I have heard a rumour that we have already appointed Claudio Foscarini, manager of some serie B team and the deal also involves the signing of one of their strikers Matteo Ardemagni. I don't know if you're on a windup but this sounds really quite plausible... :-o
saint-paul Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Would be happy with: Tony Mowbray Martin O'Neill (but in no way do I see that as a possibility) People I'm undecided on: Zola Southgate Coleman Brown Would not be happy with: Dowie Hoddle Shearer
Badger Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 I don't know if you're on a windup but this sounds really quite plausible... :-o And the GK after 1.43minutes !
bpsaint Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Surprised no one saw fit to post that earlier. Unless they did and I missed it as I was away.Perhaps someone can post me a link to the spotting of MON after the Orient game if posted previously. Nobody mentioned it previously because it's bull****. There's no way a high-profile name like that would be able to attend a football stadium on a matchday without being seen by a lot of people. Not that I wouldn't mind him coming here though! If it's not him or Stuart Pearce I'll be disappointed.
1976_Child Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Would be quite funny if we nicked Gus Poyet from Brighton! That would be funny. But highly unlikely as he has publicly stated he is staying for 3 years.
madruss Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Are you calling me a liar as well? Are you sure you weren't thinking of the manager Daniele Arrigoni from Sassuolo Calcio and their striker Antimo Iunco?
1976_Child Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Fellas, I have just received a call from Cortese. I said I would only take the job if he could get a wi-fi connection down to the dugout so I could have SaintsWeb Forum available to help with tactics. He's going to look into it for me. I'll get back to y'all but if I do take the job then I will expect only sensible suggestions like putting Kelvin up front and Rickie in goal.
The Fat Controller Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Hoddle or Keegan would be good - but if it's like any of our signings then we won't work it out until it's announced! Steve McClaren, Martin Jol, or Christian Gross ?
1976_Child Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Hoddle or Keegan would be good - but if it's like any of our signings then we won't work it out until it's announced! Steve McClaren, Martin Jol, or Christian Gross ? Keegan would resign before his first game!
paulwantsapint Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 IMHO MON has a bigger job lined up either take over from Crapello which could be very soon or wait for Fergie to leave manure
del boy Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 If it's not him or Stuart Pearce I'll be disappointed. Psycho was definitely at the Bolton game, not that it means he's going to be the next manager of course
SO16_Saint Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Psycho was definitely at the Bolton game, not that it means he's going to be the next manager of course has he done anything as a manager? serious question - i cant remember!
ohwhenthesaints Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Psycho was definitely at the Bolton game, not that it means he's going to be the next manager of course Isn't he still in charge of the England U21s? Was probably just watching some of the talent.
SuperSAINT Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Mowbray is the best realistic option I've heard... Purely on his track record with promotions AND his style play. If this "will eventually be known as the southampton style" stuff is true, then there isn't a chance we'll get there with 90% of the names mentioned.
saints_is_the_south Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 What about Sean O'Driscol? Done a great job establishing Doncaster in the CCC and probably taken them as far as he can. His teams always played entertaining football too.
PaulGilchrist_76 Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 ......................Phil Brown............................
kpturner Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 ......................Phil Brown............................ No thanks
SaintBobby Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 It's going to be a foreigner, I'm certain of it. Poyet or Zola.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 ......................Phil Brown............................ They would make a fortune out of me in the concourse. There is no way I would be able to go up to my seat and watch all the useless lumps of overpaid Carp he would bring in.
benjii Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Would be happy with Chris Coleman Martin O'Neil (not likely imo) Glenn Hoddle Gareth Southgate Alan Shearer wouldnt be happy with Gianfranco Zola Ian Dowie Tony Mowbray along with most of the others listed in this thread fwiw Mental IMO. Coleman, Hoddle, Southgate or Shearer ahead of Mowbray? Yep, just mental!
hypochondriac Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 It will be Zola. Put my house on it (not ITK just what I reckon )
scotty Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 has anyone mentioned Coppell yet and my reaction when i heard this by text after the night shift was "f*ck me, is it friday already"
Seaside Saint 2 Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 If it's going to be an Italian, Bologna sacked their coach Franco Colomba a few days ago due to new owners wanting their own man. He kept them in Serie A last year and has managed a fair few Serie A & B clubs. Surprised no one's mentioned Alan Irvine, doing well with Wednesday, familiar with the Championship, and as David Moyes' former assistant certainly knows the Premier League too. Big difference between us and Wednesday is that they are skint and will probably be in administration within a year. My only concern is that he though Ostemoboor was good enough to sign... Certainly better than Phil Brown or Kevin Blackwell. However, I have a feeling it will be Zola. He did well enough with West Ham in their first season, particularly as he was saddled with all the duds Curbishley had brought in (Kieron Dyer etc....).
Toomer Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 ......................Phil Brown............................ Cortese could save money on the electric at half time in the dressing room with Phil Brown in charge.
altoniansaints Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 http://www.skybet.com/betting/football/manager-specials/t10002896.html AP now come in at 20/1 for villa job! MO`N now 5/1 for saints job!
buctootim Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 What about Sven? If he was prepared to go to Notts County Im sure he'd come to Saints. Could be great imo.
Viking Warrior Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Stuart Gray expected for a sensational return to Southampton as Manager!!! Breaking wind news reports
Chez Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 http://www.skybet.com/betting/football/manager-specials/t10002896.html AP now come in at 20/1 for villa job! MO`N now 5/1 for saints job!is this forum being monitored by the bookies now?
Faz Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 I've just seen Sir Bobby Robson in West Quay! Was he riding Shergar?
SaintBobby Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 http://www.skybet.com/betting/football/manager-specials/t10002896.html AP now come in at 20/1 for villa job! MO`N now 5/1 for saints job! So hope it's Martin O'Neil, but he's not a great bet at 5/1 Until he formally rules himself out though, I'm holding out hope, however fantastical it seems. I think it's going to be Poyet or Zola...or some continental manager I've never heard of...
Genk Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Can't get excited about Mowbray, don't know why, may be because he is miserable. Would be happy with Phil Brown or Chris Coleman myself. O'neill would be amazing but won't happen.
derry Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Eddie Howe, Sean O'Driscoll, Lee Clarke, Nigel Adkins, Danny Wilson would all do a good job this year but I think Cortese is now looking for the manager for the rest of the five year plan so this may take a little while yet.
1976_Child Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 What about Sven? If he was prepared to go to Notts County Im sure he'd come to Saints. Could be great imo. Cortese had better lock up his missus then..
ottery st mary Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 (edited) David Beckham Sorry forgot Michael Owen Edited 30 August, 2010 by ottery st mary Forgot Owen
Dalek2003 Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Would be happy with: Tony Mowbray Martin O'Neill (but in no way do I see that as a possibility) People I'm undecided on: Zola Southgate Coleman Brown Would not be happy with: Dowie Hoddle Shearer Are you mad ? Hoddle should be one of the favourites. Clearly you are having a bad day !
Whitey Grandad Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Cortese had better lock up his missus then.. Even my missus would not be safe. Still, if he got the results it might be a price worth paying.
Julian H. Cope Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 I've just seen Sir Bobby Robson in West Quay! I've just been to West Quay and you're lying. Although I did get Malcolm Allison to sign my Krispy Kreme hat in the podium car park. Nice Roller.
1976_Child Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Just had a call from a mate in Milan. Apparently Bernitez has been spotted at the airport buying a one-way ticket to Southampton.
lethallee Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 It will be interesting to see if NC will get someone in for the long term or someone purely to just get us promoted this season. Either way I can't it being o'Neil, hoddle, sven etc.... Personally It may be a short term placement someone who has been successful at this level perhaps someone like Paul Jewell.
beavis17 Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 http://www.skybet.com/betting/football/manager-specials/t10002896.html# Eddie Howe favourite now....hmmm
1976_Child Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 http://www.skybet.com/betting/football/manager-specials/t10002896.html# Eddie Howe favourite now....hmmm There is no way that he would desert Bournemouth for us. Utter lunacy.
SNSUN Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 I have to say I'm getting the return of the feelings I had during the Lowe era already. I have visions of an appointment of a foriegn manager who has no experience of english league football and an idealistic unrealistic approach. Jan Poortvliet anyone? Except he does...
Junction 9 Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 O'Neill would be a fantastic appointment obviously but I can't see it really happening. As far as I'm concerned there's only one person Cortese should be on the phone to now and that's Tommy Widdrington. The only man who would make up for the disappointment of losing Pardew and I know I'm not alone on this.
