Easy, Id have you cemented on your knees doggy style and then park my bike at your rear.

You see OSM i am very easy to please and always have a solution to any problem.

 

Nice....

 

I knew where you would park your chopper but not so sure about your BMX after you had ridden to the ground from the heliport...

KK please no, hasn't football had enough of his comings and goings, we need someone reliable, we don't want to be changing managers again after the first bust up with players, staff or NC and it would be bound to happen because with KK it always does.

My theory is that the longer it goes unannounced (within reason) the 'better' the outcome is likely to be as it implies there are more complications that need tieing up and I would associate 'complications' with bigger names rather than run-of-the-mill names.

 

Just my humble opinion of course.

 

Exactly. They will need to get Maradona's translator and ...... ahem.......chemist sorted first.

Im not knocking him (or you) I just think two people can be in the same building and see (or not see) different things. I worked in the grand hotel in Brighton when I was student. Delivered room service to be met at the door by the home secretary. No-one I spoke to knew he was there.

 

if it was michael howard, I hope you lamped him one.

That's a fair point and I honestly hope my mate did miss him. I would say if the OP's daughter is a ST holder, she would know what KK looks like so hopefully she's right. And to be fair, I didn't realisesfc1971 had paid to post so makes it a lot less likely to be a wind up.

 

(appoligies to sfc1971 for being a sceptic, you'd understand with all the BS you get on here)

The apologies to sfc1971 are reminiscent of the apologies that everyone kept dishing out to HelpMeRonda in 2007.....until their true identity was revealed.

 

Of course, in this instance, sfc1971 may well be completely genuine.

 

tbf posting that your daughter saw KK in a hotel is a little different to claiming you are about to complete a takeover of the club.

Well we know from the Pinnacle bid that KK was interested in the job before, But I don't think Cortese, does "Nostaglia" or lends any wieght to previous superstars. Given KK's apparent connection with MLT, I don't think this has any legs, although I think it would be an almost perfect hire.

What I'm wondering, on the appointment of this new manager is, whether we'll have a Kevin Keegan moment or a Steve Wigley moment; i.e. does the jaw hit the ground, and the eyes pop out, for the right reasons or the wrong..?

 

trouble is.....people forget that we are division 3..

 

some are talking about managers as if they are REAL possibilites...manager who we would not have had a cat in hells chance when we were in the premiership

Got to say I would love it, LOVE IT if we got Keegan.

 

Was talking about this the other day and I honestly think that Kevin Keegan is the only guaranteed success from all the available candidates and I include MO'N in that.

 

Keegan will get us promoted, this season, no question, without fail. I truly truly believe it.

 

At this level, with the players we have, all we need is Keegan.

 

We need his star quality, his inspiration, his personality, his passion and drive. Keegan and a couple of hand picked coaches. Organise them. Make them feel ten feet tall. Tell them they can and will win the division.

 

I have doubt about every single candidate in the frame, except Kevin Keegan. Guaranteed, guaranteed promotion.

 

And it's worth saying when he went back to Toon, I thought "he'll fail". I'm not some kind of Keegan worshipper. But I just think if he walked into St Mary's tomorrow, we'd win the league no problem come May.

 

I'd love it.

If keegan was to become manager ( which i doubt ) that would make cortese decisions regarding banning photos and the sale of season tickets now a financial masterpiece as everyone would come out of the woodwork and have to pay on a game by game basis and the press would show a much greater interest.

Could this of all been done with that in mind ? probably not but stranger things have happened.

 

exactly.

A wow factor

Throw in a few home wins on the trot and SMS will be 25k + each match.

You appear to be the only person who would love it as much as me...

I knew you'd be with me. Didn't Keegan play for us once? ;)

 

No, that would go for me as well. NC would make the extra that KK would cost over say the cheaper (although able) options of Adkins or Howe in gate income and the depression that was so evidently hanging around the ground on Saturday and that has been there since Markus passed away would be lifted. One of the lesser options would be so-so and they would be under pressure to put together a string of wins straight away. I can also see gates falling without a charismatic figure like KK.

I wanted Keegan last year when it looked like he was coming as part of the Pinnacle deal.

 

I'm not sure that he'd be under the same pressure here as he was in the Toon.

 

Did very well to get them through the divisions in the earliest years, and did it again with Fulham. Newcastle were a very good team to watch under Keegan. Personally, I'd rather see that style of play even if we do get beat sometimes as a result.

 

The doubts over composure at the highest level are well-founded, but I think he'd be ace for us.

I totally agree but I have a feeling it will be Adkins with Barnsley or Coventry's 5th choice striker joining on loan. Would love to be proven wrong though!

 

To be honest i think even if this did happen that the loan signings will hardly be wow.

 

Agyemang will do for me.

Great post and I am most definitely in agreement on this. Imagine the effect he'd have on Rickie, Puncheon, Lallana etc... I also agree that bringing him in would basically mean nailed on promotion. Tactically at the highest level he himself has admitted he has limitations but as far as motivating the players at his disposal, he is up there with the very best of all time.

I'd love it as well. I still remember the exact moment I heard he was signing for us, on a teacher's car radio on the way to a school football match. He would generate as much excitement again if he came here as manager. He would lift the whole club and would get fans back to St Marys. He also has a great record in lower leagues.

 

Unfortunately I can't see it happening.

I couldn't agree more, if I could wish for anyone it would be him.

 

Can you imagine the buzz if it was announced KK was our man.

I have never really been that confident that we come up this year but with him, I think that would be almost a formaility.

 

FWIW I think it is more likely to be KK than Adkins. I don't know why but I am convinced it won't be Adkins. I think Cortese will want someone with a bit of clout, reputation behind them, I don't believe in this 'up and coming manager' approach that we might take. I'll look a prat when it is Adkins or Howe but thats my view.

Even if KK was in the Grand Harbour, it could be for numerous other reasons - is it not Southampton Boat Show this week?

 

He might just be buying a little toy to enjoy his retirement with

 

FWIW I don't think KK ticks any of NC's boxes - for starters NC doesn't give a monkeys about Saints legends, secondly KK has a reputation for walking whenever he doesn't like the board, also his success over recent years is very limited

 

There's nothing about KK that I imagine would persuade NC to hire him

Based on my opinion. Problem with that?

 

well yeah, i do actually, because your opinion is hypocritical. You slated me for my opinion that a relatively successful manager at a higher level is likely to be successful at a lower league, claiming i was saying anyone who had managed in the premier league is guarenteed to be a success, which is not at all what i said, no one is guarenteed to be successful, yet here you are claiming Keegan is. Hello hypocrisy.

Not really. Your argument was that average managers at Prem level would be brilliant managers lower down. You used Pearce and Zola and claimed that mediocrity higher up equates to brilliance lower down. Being that Pearce and Zola weren't average, they were dreadful, the point barely stands up.

 

Comparing the pitiful achievements of Pearce and Zola who got jobs on their "name" rather than ability and failed with the achievements of Kevin Keegan - hello second place in the Premier League - is a total joke.

 

Keegan would do well at Saints because he is precisely the kind of manager we need. What we don't need is an overhyped name like Pearce who are proven failures.

 

No hypocrisy whatsoever.

You see, there you go again, i didn't say they'd be brilliant at all, as you well know. I actually think Keegan would be a decent shout as manager but to claim he'd be guarenteed to be a success is full hardy and hypocritical, given your stance in our previous discussion. No one is guarenteed of success. Of course you are also convniently overlooking that Keegan got his first job based on his name and no management experience and is a proven quitter when things dont go his way, but then why use facts & history when you can attempt to twist statements to assist your arguement.

Get over it. It's a football discussion forum. Funny how everyone else reading my post on Keegan got precisely the spirit of what I was saying.

 

Well done you for coming back with "there's no such thing as a guarantee". No. S h it. Sherlock.

 

Have a good night.

Well i guess all the others jumping on the, Keegan is gods gift to football management and would turn us into the new Barcelona bandwagon, haven't had their posts twisted by you in a lame attempt to prove a point have they.

 

Of course in your eyes, Keegan would be brilliant and is guarenteed to be a success wouldn't he. Welll done for joing the mass of deluded mental fans we have.

That's funny, in my original post, I made it clear I was no Keegan worshipper and expected him to fail at Newcastle second time round when he was appointed. Not quite deluded and mental. My eyes are wide open.

 

Delusionals look at people who have acheived nothing whatsoever and decide that they would be brilliant two divisions down purely because they were rubbish two divisions higher. That is mental.

 

And yes. If Keegan took over tomorrow we're promoted in May. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Get on board.
