I have a niggling feeling that it will be manager that no one here has spoken about.

 

Did we speak about Pard's before he was speculated?

 

He came out of the blue and everyone was underwheled by it - i remember the reaction was pretty much ''oh....nice one''

 

but it didn't turn out that bad did it?

 

at the end of the day a manager with an ounce of ability should be able to get us out of this league, as i believe Pardew would have done if he was kept on.

Yeah, I'd take him in a heartbeat and he's said he'd love to manage in England, but I don't think he'd even think about a third tier entry point when he could easily get big Prem bucks.

 

He thought he was getting the west ham job , thats why he left the croatia job in april when his contract expired, If he cant get the west ham job maybe we are perfect for him now ???

 

He has Italian conections as well , never know !

Just received this via email:

 

Got an email saying O'Neill was phoned and offered the job last night which he accepted...

 

... only for Cortese to go and interview Adkins this morning, which has understandably p£ssed off O'Neill.

 

Very strange goings on, could still go either way I hear now.

SSn Speculating it will be a european manager,with european experience....short list drawn up but that is all....someone might be in place by the weekend

 

haha! SSN know nothing! They might as well say "We know it will be a human being, and the appointment will be made sometime between now and the end of all life as we know it"

I have to say I will really not be happy, excited, or upset by this if it is Atkins. Bit flatline really and not the news I was expecting or hoping for!

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

5 Live intimated the appointment would prove that NC knows what he is doing.

 

Dischuffed, in an ambivalent way, totally.

Now,if that IS true,it would seriously **** me off.

Do we know for a fact that an announcement will happen tomorrow or not?

 

Probably not, it will come when we least expect it! as everything has been since Nicola and co have been in charge.

Somebody I know who works at Southampton airport has seen just Phil Brown in the Costa there. It could of course just be coincidence.

Yes it is definitely happening.

 

 

or it might not.

 

This is the brand new SFC Land, we all know nothing.

Was he serving coffee or collecting dishes?

 

Not your mate, but Brown, been unemployed for some time now.

if it is Adkins I will be massively disappointed and what an anti climax!! Fail to see what he can bring that AP didn;t already have. Possibly a lower wage??

I still think it will be a foreigner.

 

Slaven Billic would be awesome - but is probably in the MON wet/pipe dream category.

 

If it's MON and Billic, does Alpine jizz over his wife's face twice?

There is a avdertising board in there, last I saw it was advertising some sort of Orange flavour fizzy pop.

 

If this is true... good god, someone, anyone, help us. He spent a sickening fortune to get hull where they were, then spent an even more sickening amount whilst they were there, and got them precisely nowhere. (ok... survived relegation by the skin of their teeth in their first season, but I still stand by my point. I would be far from happy with Brown.)

LOL. The guy said Brown had flown in as well, he wasn't on his way out.

 

Like I said it could be coincidence. But the guy who told me is a Saints ST holder and not an attention seeker so I don't doubt him.

If it wasn't for all the stupid speculation and people getting their hopes up because of it, then most people would be very happy with Adkins.

 

 

Agreed, I don't think the rumour of it being a big name or 'wow' or whatever is really helping us! Now, if it's not, people are going to be disappointed !

We need somebody with great connections and friends at higher clubs who would be more willing to lend us a player or two,he has to be high profile to command respect both from the players and ( for some of you who worry about what the press think) media and he also needs to be able to work with cortese.....

 

Tbh it's going to be a big ask but some of the names being mentioned on here like Adkins should not even be allowed an interview.....seriously underwhelmed if we don't get a manager with prem experience.

Brown is very much in the Pardew mold - I'm expecting a different type of manager.

 

Gotta love how the echo said this morning it's a "young, english, up and coming manager", and SSN are saying "European" ;)

 

My feeling is that it'll be someone with a rep for playing attractive football.

If it's Brown I will support him 100%, but only if he doesn't attach that stupid f**king microphone to his nut. I won't be underwhelmed by his appointment either way.

 

Can't see it being anyone as good as O'Neill, Sven or Zola/Clarke, but one can dream.

A "Yes sir Mr Cortese sir" mentality?

As much as Brown is a total c*nt, he'd probably get us up to the Prem. He still thinks way too much of himself though, and he's not really that good of a manager. I just hope that we can get someone in place quickly before our season comes off the rails too much, as we need to get out of this division THIS SEASON. I'm sure Cortese will think the same. I don't have a clue who it'd be if it's a European candidate, but realistically I think we'll end up with Brown, Adkins or Mowbray if we're talking English managers.

I was quite pleased we got a "name" after JP/MW

I really wouldn't read into the Odds Adrian - Pardew wasn't even listed on some sites before he got the job.

 

they know as much as us.

 

Can you bet on it being neither Adkins nor Brown? Mathematically, the odds on that should be about 2/1 against and quite attractive.

oh so was i, i was very happy with pard's appointment. I was just putting across that the general mood of most posters was a bit underwhelming at the time - but that was mainly because WGS and kk were ''apparently'' done deals

If I really believed a certain manager would get us to the prem in 3 years, I would say bite their hand off!
