mulletsaint Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Bloody hope not. Also not sure he fits in with the new club philosophy.
Saint Garrett Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Why would he come here ? Why would our chairman appoint him? Why would we want him?
RonManager Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Not in a million years. Who do you think will be our manager in a million years time?
Trader Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 He is completely opposite to Nicola's philosophy. Half of our team coming from the academy? Under Harry? Really?
The9 Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 I would not bet against it !!!! In that case I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.
Turkish Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 He is completely opposite to Nicola's philosophy. Half of our team coming from the academy? Under Harry? Really? Don't forget it was him that made Gareth Bale what he is after converting him from a full back and gave Theo his debut.
krissyboy31 Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 The pool parties will be interesting!
The9 Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 I would. I wouldn't bet against you starting two identical threads on the subject though.
gaz Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Not a chance. His next big payday is someone like Blackburn or Leicester or Bolton.
RonManager Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 I'd like to be, Under the sea, In an octopus's Garden in the shade.
Olallana Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 I would not bet against it !!!! He might be a manager at christmas yes.... but not at Southampton FC
Turkish Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Good manager or not (and I'm far from convinced), he came here and let us slip out the league with a whimper, showing zero passion and admitting his heart wasn't in it. Dozens of club legends gave so much to keep the club up there, and he casually played a huge part in undoing it and showed absolutely no guilt or guilt. In fact he's never been relegated has he, according to Harry. Would be the complete opposite of what I'd expect from Cortese if he was looking for a new manager, and not one I'd be supporting one bit. It wasn't just him though was it. Appointing then sacking Sturrock, appointing then sacking Wigley, injuries to key players, lack of investment in quality players, an ageing team and no bottle all played a major part.

After years of struggling and the WGS successes moving us up, I'm afraid 'Arry's lack of interest has only just been rectified , after the wilderness he introduced us all to.
Trader Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Don't forget it was him that made Gareth Bale what he is after converting him from a full back and gave Theo his debut. Bale didn't feature at WHL after Harry's arrival for quite some time.
Turkish Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Bale didn't feature at WHL after Harry's arrival for quite some time. Obviously waiting for the right time to bring him in.
Trader Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 (edited) Obviously waiting for the right time to bring him in. Of course - what a tactical magician he is. I'm not disputing that C*ntflaps can build a team - it's just that he needs a gazillion quid to do it. And I'm sure that most managers could given the opportunity. (Most managers do not include, of course, King Kenny) Edited 17 September, 2012 by Trader Forgot about Dalglish
Dalek2003 Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Nope. I think NC and our backers are looking long term. We are purchasing in good qaulity young players who lack experience at the moment but will come good. I think that we are giving this season a good go, but we will not throw money away for short term gains. Also, I think it is too ealry to judge our team against the tams we have played so far.
saints_is_the_south Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Just out of interest, who here would refuse to go to St Mary's if Redknapp was appointed? I could not go out of principle. It's not the fact he took us down, but as adrainsfc has posted earlier in the thread, it was the manner it happened and the way he conducted himself whilst Saints manager. Oh, and of course the leaving us to return to the Skates bit too.
Dig Dig Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Redknapp wouldnt fit at te club and it wont happen.... He's too cosy with the media, his rent a quotes wouldnt be tolerated, he is tatically poor and has only ever succeded when he's had a certain amount of flair players who can be given freedom to roam, otherwise he has no plan B. He is also very much old school and wouldnt embrace the sports science and modern day techniques employed at most top clubs in Europe which saints now adopt. Add to the fact that he's a lying two faced **** I'd say there is little or no chance of this happening.

Wade Garrett Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 I can't see him and Cortese working together. Harry isn't the only out of work manager out there.
Wade Garrett Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Hope not. There are alternatives to Harry.
hypochondriac Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 If Harry became manager then I'm not sure what I would do. I certainly couldn't continue to support us whilst he was here.

miserableoldgit Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Once again Miltonroader07 lights blue touchpaper and runs away!
SuperSAINT Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Harry & Adkins are chalk and cheese. Can you imagine Harry being manager after the Arsenal game? I can remember Harry's quotes from after we got trounced by Spurs where he blamed the players and said "some of those out there won't ever play for this club again"
Dark Munster Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 How about a poll? How many would welcome HR back if NA was sacked?
whizzpop Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 I'd prefer Rafa Benitez if Nigel ever gets sacked this season, I can't see anyone else who'd realistically come in and do a good job if the worst happened.
Miltonroader07 Posted 17 September, 2012 Author Posted 17 September, 2012 What a great thread, even if I say so myself. Like many others I could not enter SMS with Redknapp at the helm, but I think NC is not as predictable as we think, we never really found out why he sacked AP straight after a great win at B Rovers did we.
Pat from Poole Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Les Reed will be the next manager.
saints_is_the_south Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 How about a poll? How many would welcome HR back if NA was sacked? +1. Interested to see how many would still go and who wouldn't.

Wonder what happened to him.
Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Totally irrelevant because Nigel needs to be given some support. Back to back promotions, excellent football, positivity around St Mary's again, come on give the guy the break. It's morons who start threads like these that get people sacked when they dont deserve to. In Nigel I still trust.
Saint Garrett Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Darren Kenton? Wonder what happened to him. Not a lot really! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren_Kenton Years Team Apps† (Gls)† 1996–2003 Norwich City 158 (9) 2003–2006 Southampton 29 (0) 2005 → Leicester City (loan) 10 (0) 2006–2008 Leicester City 33 (2) 2008 → Leeds United (loan) 4 (0) 2008 Leeds United 12 (0) 2008–2009 Cheltenham Town 13 (1) 2009–2010 Rochester Rhinos
Dellman Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Yes it's an idiotic thred, 'Arry is more likey to bre behind bars than be appointed by NC
SuperSAINT Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Wasn't Kenton signed whilst in the championship under Burley? Redknapp was referring to Jason Dodd at the time, I believe.
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 All a bit boring really. We have only just recovered from what that man did to us last time. Yes, there were other things that contributed to relegation, but he had the chance to show us what he could do. Could easily have kept us up that year. But oh no, it was "They aren't good enough" "They" this and "They" that. From day 1. Shocking excuse for a human being. This has all been debated a million times. Personally, I would not go to watch the team if he was back as manager. Really can't see that ever being the case - he stands for everything we are trying not to be.
S-Clarke Posted 17 September, 2012 Posted 17 September, 2012 Wasn't Kenton signed whilst in the championship under Burley? Redknapp was referring to Jason Dodd at the time, I believe. Nah Kenton was signed by WGS when we were in the PL.
