Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 7 November, 2011 Posted 7 November, 2011 Out of order, Wotte was a good guy.
Lighthouse Posted 7 November, 2011 Posted 7 November, 2011 Out of order, Wotte was a good guy. It's a pun on 'what the f**k' as opposed to an insult.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 7 November, 2011 Posted 7 November, 2011 It's a pun on 'what the f**k' as opposed to an insult. Ahhhh, I see. Carry on!
hamster Posted 7 November, 2011 Posted 7 November, 2011 Wotte was a bit smarmy but in his defence, who would turn down a job like that...with such potential if you actually get it right? Fair play to him, just a regular Joe trying to earn a crust imho.
Mr saint Posted 7 November, 2011 Posted 7 November, 2011 this happened ages ago didn't it? That's what I thought...
somptingsaint Posted 7 November, 2011 Posted 7 November, 2011 good luck to the man ,we had a housefire at the time he was jans assistant/boss and we had nothing but support from him . my sons fc asked if there was anything sfc could do and wotte personaly called and invited us all to traing (my boysh got on meridian lol) and whilst we were there the boysh (i got four lol) all recieved shirts that jan had bought them (to my knowladge,,he said he paid for them ,) the entire team came out after training to sign shirts for them ,,my son adam idolises adam lallana now ,,and i think ,,no i know we were the first people to see jack cork in a saints kit ,,he had arrived that morning ,,after chatting to jan and mark they were supprised that we only got offered training as our relife/perk and wotte and jan said that they would pay for us to come to the next home game ,,to be honest they both were really nice and im glad hes found a cash cow to milk because he certainly helped my sons get through our disaster,,and yes this was whilst the club was in turmoil ,, thanks mw:) ( my sons are called ,,matt,james ,adam ,and sam,,(sam is my grandad lol:)
Tokyo-Saint Posted 7 November, 2011 Posted 7 November, 2011 Why would he predict good times for a drink?

Fair play to them. Buying those shirts probably cost Portvleit about half his weeks wages.

cellone Posted 7 November, 2011 Posted 7 November, 2011 I was happier on his departure than his arrival. I liked Jan more than Mark, but I look back now and can't believe that actually happened.
bpsaint Posted 8 November, 2011 Posted 8 November, 2011 Ahhh yes Mark Wotte, the tosspiece who froze Adam Lallana out of the squad as he didn't rate him leaving AL seriously down about his football. That episode for me taints any good he did for us, clueless ******.
david in sweden Posted 8 November, 2011 Posted 8 November, 2011 Just choked on my beer watching SSN. New director of football for Scottish football. Predicts good times for the scotch. Big laughs. .surely you means " Scots " ? Scotch is a drink, and I'm sure they won't train on that .
david in sweden Posted 8 November, 2011 Posted 8 November, 2011 Out of order, Wotte was a good guy. I'd go with that Dibden, I thought he showed up very loyal and positive when things were at their darkest (pre-Liebherr) ....good luck to him.
Smirking_Saint Posted 8 November, 2011 Posted 8 November, 2011 Well I suppose it beats him wandering around Bursledon Tescos looking for cheap yoghurts.
del boy Posted 8 November, 2011 Posted 8 November, 2011 I usually associate Scotch with good times, all in moderation of course
del boy Posted 8 November, 2011 Posted 8 November, 2011 Jan and Mark had a thankless task when they were here - in their defence I'd say we played some of the most attractive football for years with our "kids" and limited resources, even though it didn't last too long once the lack of quality in depth was exposed and the physical demands of the league kicked in.

SouthlondonSaint Posted 8 November, 2011 Posted 8 November, 2011 I don't post often, more of an observer on the site. However, I must echo the words of somptingsaint. Mark Wotte stood by Saints during our darkest hours, he tried to put out a young attacking side and keep the 'ball rolling'. He was gutted at the end having signed a new contract to be shown the door. He left with dignity and our thanks. I liked the bloke, he once gave my son a Saints baseball cap as we stood watching training one day when it was ****ing down! Good guy imho, hope he can sort out the sweaty socks.
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 8 November, 2011 Posted 8 November, 2011 As i said at the time it is a strange appointment. Scotland may lack numbers of quality players to choose from these days but one thing Scotland has never lacked in is great managers and coaches etc for this type of role.
dellgirl Posted 8 November, 2011 Posted 8 November, 2011 Will probably do as well as Burley when he went north. He told me McGoldrick was going to be the next big thing in English football. Not a favourite ,too in love with himself , but glad he had a kind side when it mattered.
sammysaint Posted 8 November, 2011 Posted 8 November, 2011 Seemed a nice chap and him and JP were thrown in at the deep end and to be honest i loved watching our passing at times just a shame we could have played stern john and sagawoski more and we would of stayed up. He knows his stuff and after reading that story earlier in the thread fair play to the bloke. I wouldnt mind Jan back as a coach to be honest, seemed a great coach.
bender Posted 8 November, 2011 Author Posted 8 November, 2011 .surely you means " Scots " ? Scotch is a drink, and I'm sure they won't train on that . er yes I know. It's just a comedy replacement word.

September Saint Posted 9 November, 2011 Posted 9 November, 2011 .surely you means " Scots " ? Scotch is a drink, and I'm sure they won't train on that . Drinkaware for the facts

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one left with this impression of a difficult time in our history... I would have loved for that experiment to turn out well! And I certainly prefer our chosen route to the one our blue neighbours chose when in economical trouble...
