Crazy Diamond Posted 18 January, 2013 Share Posted 18 January, 2013 "At Southampton, that is an advantage he does not have. Communication will naturally be harder as he does not speak English. Pochettino has vision but, after the sacking of Adkins, he will have to get results too. And fast." http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2013/jan/18/southampton-mauricio-pochettino?CMP=twt_gu Sid Lowe, Englishman Spanish football expert.

david in sweden Posted 18 January, 2013 Share Posted 18 January, 2013 after 53 years as a fan ......words fail me. Surprise isn't even a word on the list ! I'm not going to start criticising before I see the result of the next 5 games, but I forsee an exit of some of our current regulars.....probably following Nigel to his * new club. There won't be a need for Ramirez's interpreter anymore but the rest of the English-speaking players will need one..and preferably someone who understands football tactics. STILL Shocked ´ * Nigel's new club will be .....??? Difficult to say as his new club haven't sacked their current manager yet, maybe we need a poll on that one MODS ? ......but be assured Nigel will certainly be in demand. After Wednesdays result, it might even be .......Chelsea ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 18 January, 2013 Share Posted 18 January, 2013 Well! I'm due to move back to the UK in the medium term so trying to be positive there might be a bit more English teaching work in the Southampton area. I have the advantage of having my own footie boots (actually both moulded, screw-in and keeper's gloves!), European experience (we're playing Juventus on Sunday!), and I'll be needing the money so can give reasonable rates...
