Badger Posted 17 May, 2014 Share Posted 17 May, 2014 12 reasons why i dont give a **** about Mopo!! 1) win % is very poor 2) no loyalty 3) had his head turned by 1st club showing any interest 4) doesnt/ wont speak English 5) never shown any love for club or fans 6) FA cup 7) one style, no plan B 8 ) hes easily replaceable 9) we have an amazing squad - any manager could have got us to 8th 10) he's a moody / ungrateful **** 11) £6m a year 12) hes won nothing as a manager The end Except that is not "The End" of the argument is it ? Key point for me is that MP appears to have the confidence of our key players, and if he leaves it causes uncertainty amongst the squad, and increases the likelihood of an exodus. This for me anyway is why MP is central to our potential now. You stop short of suggesting a viable alternative, who will immediately gain the trust of the squad, any suggestions ? I'm not ITK by any stretch, but think we can safely assume that despite the Germanic links of owner and RK, that Klopp is not likely to be interested in coming to us.

Convict Colony Posted 17 May, 2014 Share Posted 17 May, 2014 Playing Golf yesterday and one of the lads works in sports media (Saints fan too), as the 4 of us ambled round football popped up on the agenda, I commented that you would think we had just been relegated the way the Vultures are circling above our team, this chap said a pretty reliable ITK friend of his mentioned another Spanish speaking manager is on Levy's radar. I know everyone says he's off to barcelona but I am pretty sure Luis Enrique worked under Baldoni at Roma when he managed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speed demon Posted 17 May, 2014 Share Posted 17 May, 2014 12 reasons why i dont give a **** about Glasgow Saint! 1) argument about pointless win % is very poor 2) no loyalty, constantly slating anything positive about Saints 3) had his head turned by any fellow WUM that acknowledges his existence 4) lives in Scotland where they don't speak English 5) never shown any love for club or fans 6) FA cup - believes we had a got given right to win the cup 7) one style, no plan B arguing technique 8 ) hes easily replaceable 9) claims that Peter Reid, Fat Sam or Iain Dowie could do better than Poch. 10) he's a moody / ungrateful **** 11) whines when we spend money and offer ambition, whines when we don't. 12) hes won nothing as a manager The end I don't think the way to deal with Glasgow is to ban him like many do, I think the mods should ban people who engage with him and feed his ****. I don't have a problem with him personally but after reading his trolling attempt I thought no one would take the bait but then one and then another and another and it just made me think, if the mods won't deal with him, then deal with the people who fuel it.

shurlock Posted 17 May, 2014 Share Posted 17 May, 2014 (edited) Interesting comments from the scousers - probably a load of b******ks but it is still a perception that is crystallising out there. I really do think that this new board is all business and no football. They've no appreciation of the fans or that side of the game. They have books to balance, money to make and a squad full of assets. Unless they're willing to be 'educated,' they'll happily collect money and see of their best players before looking for direct replacements on smaller fees who can be sold at a profit in three years time. Right now, Southampton could sell Lallana, Rodriguez, Shaw, Schneiderlin, Lovren, Clyne, Fonte, Wanyama and Cork at higher fees than what they paid for them. Some much, much higher. They've then got Ward-Prowse, Chambers, Reed, Gallagher and a famed academy to step into the breach and be sold off all over again in a few years, complimented by imports from abroad. I think they'll become England's answer to a Porto or an Udinese (within reason and our league's technicalities). They'll always have a stock of good players who can for the most part be moved on quickly and at a big profit. Time will tell and this of course is entirely my opinion, but I think that's the road they're heading down. Ashley seems happy to employ a similar route at Newcastle and regardless of fan hatred, he's doing quite nicely off them. Agree with all this. There's no reason we couldn't get Lallana and Lovren, Southampton aren't exactly sending out any sort of "hands off" warnings to clubs interested in their players. They've hit the glass ceiling and with Cortese gone they aren't going to alter their business model to try and smash through it, their best players are looking at taking the next step in their careers and Southampton aren't giving any sort of indication that they will prevent that. I genuinely believe that this new Southampton board will sanction any sale under the right circumstances. And by circumstances I mean money. The very first thing that Hofstetter said after joining the board was that they had 'inherited a difficult situation financially. On top of that, The Saints still owe £27m in outstanding transfer fees (any chance some of that's for Lovren and they'd be happy to make a quick profit and remove the debt?) and as far as I know, still owe around £30m for their new training ground and facilities. Lallana and Shaw make big financial sense to sell at this moment. Academy graduates (despite Bournemouth's clause) who'd bring in fees not offset by previous expenditure. They could comfortably make £50m on this pair and clear up some of their financial problems. I really want to see us test the waters with a bid for Lovren. I'll repeat what I wrote in another thread: If we can walk away from negotiations with Southampton £40m poorer but with those two secured as LFC signings, we'll have done brilliantly. Fantasy maybe, but not beyond reality. I think Southampton will cement their place as a selling club in the next few years and will not turn their nose up at any healthy profit they can turn on a player, however recently they were signed. Urgh, poor ****ers...the Soton fans that is. What happened to making sure prospective new owners had all the wherewithal to take over a football club? Fair enough then mate, if its a case of, if we dont get them someone else will, then we should go for it then. Yeah, I do feel really sorry for them (good-will that will probably wear thin if the Lallana pursuit becomes a saga). Got an exciting team with a mix of good imports and top home grown talent. They've also played the best football to watch in the league this season (with the exception of Man City and ourselves). But they're about to be dismantled, unless they make some personnel changes at the executive level. Hopefully the fact that they have such a conveyor-belt of talent from the academy will help to maintain some of their identity. If titles means ruthlessness though, then I'd be happy to see us take Lallana and Lovren from them. It's not as if they won't be handsomely compensated. Lovren will be a tough one, come to think of it. You would think with potentially Pochettino, Shaw and Lallana all being on their way, they would want to set a stop to all the exits at a certain point. They'll be aware that they could potentially be in a relegation fight, if they went that far. That's true, but with their youth infrastructure they would still be competitive I reckon. Even if they lost Shaw, Lallana, and Lovren (who are the 3 biggest potential sales), they'd still have Rodriguez, Lambert, Cork, Davis, Ward-Prowse, Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Clyne, Fonte, Chambers, and Boruc. And that is before they reinvest any of the £60-70m they'd likely get from that trio (£20-25 Lallana, £30m Shaw, £15-20m Lovren). If they pay off their outstanding £30m debt they'd still have at least about £30m to play with based solely on what is available from sales, which is a tidy sum for a club with a rich history of developing and promoting from within.

Best Manager we have had in years and its been obvious to all except Saints what was going to happen since about February... Should be enjoying our best ever season, but may well start next season with none of Shaw, Lallana, Scneiderlin and Jay Rod in the team. Worried about you Charlie. Suggest you take a break.

nta786 Posted 17 May, 2014 Share Posted 17 May, 2014 You say that MoPo has no plan B, in defence, to change your tactics, usually you need options off the bench. Im fairness, considering the subs we have, it is quite hard to that. Top managers do it this way, e.g Mourinho often puts on Schurle/Salah in the second half to change things. We've had an ineffective Gaston and Sam Gallagher. We've dominated so many teams anyway, it is just a case of finishing that really annoys us, why change tactics if it ain't broke?

Saint George Posted 17 May, 2014 Share Posted 17 May, 2014 If the 6m a year is true, then i suspect it's 6m a year for his team....Mauricio Pochettino, Jesús Pérez, Miguel D'Agostino and Toni Jiménez. Pochettino won't accept a deal without making sure his team are taken care of and if the news has been leaked from the Club then the 6m is probably the total cost to the Club for the 'Pochettino' package.

pap Posted 17 May, 2014 Share Posted 17 May, 2014 We've heard it all season. Keeping Poch is the key. We've heard rumblings that many players are waiting to see what he does first before making their own decisions. If this overture is in any way serious, it's good news for everybody. I'm not coming from the perspective as someone who thinks that Poch is some kind of uber-manager that'll guarantee success. However, he's the only person in the world that can provide a bit of short-term assurance to our restive players, especially if that comes with guarantees of spending. Osvaldo aside, I think he has done well in the limited transfer business he has done. Wanyama and Lovren are both players of huge potential - and no-one gets it 100% right. He's also done brilliantly getting the youth players established. Jury is till out on Gallagher, but Chambers and Shaw have progressed beautifully. Ward-Prowse is looking like a very good player too. My only worry is that 6m per year is a hell of a lot of money. It's only really worth it if MP can convince players to stay and can buy enough depth in the squad to take us forward.

Therein rests my real annoyance with Pochettino - and it's a very big one that makes me question his character. That saddens me more than I can say because, until now, I've been a big fan of his. He is the only person in the club who had the ability to prevent this period of widespread instability from ever occurring - not Katharina or Ralph or Les Reed, but himself. Just a few words of commitment - even mild commitment - could have changed everything. Instead, he has apparently chosen to adopt a policy of silence while he pursues employment elsewhere - and he's done this not as a fall-back option but as his main option. Once embarked on that policy it's very difficult to change direction and plead for loyalty to the club from the key players. After all, he hasn't shown much himself. As sad as it makes me to say this, I've pretty much already turned the page on Pochettino and I'm wondering - and worrying - about who's next.

Ah right, It's total bollax, he's on about the figure I've just given you. 3 times that...yes it's possible, puts him on a par with yer Fat Sams and that ilk.

pap Posted 17 May, 2014 Share Posted 17 May, 2014 I think we might need Turkish to tell us if we allowed to believe this story as I a not sure if it positive or negative.
