Batman Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Could Dyche be tempted? I doubt it. I wont be getting Rafa or mancini. Why on earth would those managers come here. They play to win major trophies and titles. Not to maybe have a good cup run and bring through the next harrison reed
Convict Colony Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Kevin Palmer @kpsundayworld · 47m Senior Southampton players won't be surprised if Pocchetinho goes to Spurs. They suspected he was on his way some time ago #saintsfc #THFC Writes for ESPNFC and Sunday World irish paper
Olallana Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 A manager that see us as a stepping stone and who want to make a market for himself in Premier League, non-english preferrably for me. Never ever a manager that sees us as the biggest job he will ever get.
Le Timmier Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Mancini or Benitez Only a marginally better chance of getting one of them than we have of getting Sir Alf Ramsey
CB Fry Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Best not try then. Aim low. Didn't realise forum contributors got to be on the managerial appointment committee. Can I join?
Le Timmier Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Best not try then. Aim low. Not at all, just aim realistically.
Convict Colony Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I can't believe so many people are going for Laudrup on here and elsewhere, I can only put it down to not having read about him, 1 of many articles. He's being linked with Granada anyway at the moment so hopefully they will lock him up quickly. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/swansea-sacked-michael-laudrup-phoning-3112286
Window Cleaner Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Anyone know what the odds on WGS returning are?! what on earth would we want with an old dinosaur like that. Leave him be with his little Scotland job.
alpine_saint Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I'm guessing whoever gets it will be a cheap option and ultimately a disaster.
Window Cleaner Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I'm guessing whoever gets it will be a cheap option and ultimately a disaster. Not necessarily. Pochettino was a cheap option (20K a week, lowest paid PL manager if you believe the meejah) and he turned out well enough.
Saint Charlie Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Hopefully Reed had a good level of input in getting Poch and knows what we need. Which is basically none of those mentioned.
Heisenberg Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Hopefully Reed had a good level of input in getting Poch and knows what we need. Which is basically none of those mentioned. are you the new Barry Sanchez?
Gemmel Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 are you the new Barry Sanchez? How would you who barry sanchez is, if you only joined last week :rolleyes:
Le Timmier Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I'm guessing whoever gets it will be a cheap option and ultimately a disaster. Yeah and it'll probably rain again later too. Life sucks doesn't it?
Wade Garrett Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 We need someone who will have the immediate respect of the players. Either a decent experienced manager, or someone who was a top class player ( a Shearer or G Neville). Our squad is full of internationals now, unlike when Poch took us over. Different circumstances completely. Get in someone like Lennon, McKay or McLaren and the chances of keeping key players goes for a Burton.
SNOWY Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Tuchel would be a great choice, he has done a great job at Mainz producing results, playing good football & on a budget. The Leverkusen job is no longer available so I think he would be gettable. http://www.dw.de/rule-breaker-tuchel-leads-mainz-into-a-league-of-their-own/a-17503661
ToreSF Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Just total speculation on my part but I have a feeling the new manager will be German, or German speaking (if I go on the recent Germanic board appointments of Hofstetter and Krüger). What is interesting but is probably in no way related is that Thomas Tuchel at Mainz effectively stepped down from his position a few days ago. The Mainz chairman is however refusing to terminate Tuchel's contract. This seems to suggest that Tuchel felt he need to make himself available yet the Mainz chairman knows that someone is interested in Tuchel and thus will not terminate his contract as he is hoping that Tuchels prospective new club will buy him out of the contract. This is of course pure guess work and Tuchel did say that he had planned to leave Mainz since last autumn. In any case, the guy has had a lot of success at a club in a similar position to Saints and qualified this season for the the Europa league (something MoPo couldn't do but will no doubt do at Spurs next season!). Would be a very exciting appointment imo (Tuchel has by many accounts been a greater success at Mainz than Klopp was). Sounds exciting. Maybe he can replace Pochettino when he gets sacked in 18 months?
Foxstone Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Please god not McClaren - I really think he has nothing progressive to offer us given how far we have come to. Would not object to Tuchel though.
Appy Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Probably going to be someone like Yakin, when I say someone like Yakin I mean unemployed and foreign.
Window Cleaner Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Probably going to be someone like Yakin, when I say someone like Yakin I mean unemployed and foreign. But Yakin made himself unemployed, no doubt for a reason.
JonnyLove Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 M Yanking 11/2 Mackay is 9/2 and Eddie howe from this morning has gone from 15/1 (what I put a bet on) to 9/1 currenlty.

angelman Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Looking at the history of Yakin, his odds have halved since yesterday and almost a third what they were day before yesterday.
JakkoUK Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Good article on Tuchel here- sounds like the is the guy for us in the aspect of team bonding: http://www.dw.de/rule-breaker-tuchel-leads-mainz-into-a-league-of-their-own/a-17503661
teacher Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 If Yankin was so good why have Spuds not gone for him?
Killers Knee Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Spuds did try for Yakin before Sherwood was appointed. Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
ART Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Dan Petrescu is a hard working and reasonably successful coach who left me with a good impression from his player days at the club. He's someone I reckon could do an excellent job as replacement for Pochettino if he leaves.

Window Cleaner Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I see that Espanyol have replaced Aguirre with his assistant, perhaps we could get Aguirre...bit of continuity eh...
Appy Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 But Yakin made himself unemployed, no doubt for a reason. So?
beatlesaint Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 How the hell can they seriously have Harry Redknapp at 25-1 ? I mean thats so ridiculous on so many levels it defies belief.....i wouldnt waste a pound if they added four noughts to that !

It's just a random list of names for the most part, if anyone is silly enough to bet on them then that's their own stupid fault.

Window Cleaner Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 yeah i know but even so bookies usually do their homework on stuff like this to a degree. Not really, it's just a list of pretty basic football names, a sort of invitation to make stupid bets if you like. Still as I have no sympathy for wagerers I don't really care, although they should be protected from themselves, much in the same way as other autodestruction addicts.
Hodgey Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I'd go for Laudrup. Ticks most boxes that we need. High profile, success (9th place at Swansea with much less money and won a cup), decent transfer market (particularly strikers - Bony, Michu), similar style of play, played for Real, Juve, Barca so young players will look up to that, picked up and ran with a young British team (Dyer, Williams, Britton, Taylor etc), immediately available.

If this (and other reports) are true then I think we should stay well clear of him... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/swansea-sacked-michael-laudrup-phoning-3112286
angelman Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 If Yankin was so good why have Spuds not gone for him? Maybe it was a case of him not going for Spuds. At some stage, surely they will find it hard to employ a manager, unless they offer exceedingly good severance packages. Apparently MP's target for next season has been set as Top 4. Never have I wished for the established pecking order to be so immutable. I love Saints, just hate football.
Wade Garrett Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 It would never happen but I would love to see the Neville brothers It would never happen, but I would love to see the Chuckle Brothers.
Colinjb Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 The more I think about Steve McClaren the more sense it makes to me. Would be harsh on Derby....... so even better if we went in for him.

Colinjb Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 god no, he'll get us relegated, we'll get rope a doped like Derby did on Saturday. Give him the money to buy the players he wants and have us performing like Middlesbrough in the mid-part of last decade and I shall be delighted. Why would he get us relegated?
Colinjb Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Ah people's memories. They were an absolute mess at the end. Focus on the uefa cup final, which was a good run, but still a cup. That dressing room was lost and they were going nowhere. McLaren has helped his shattered reputation at Derby. If he leaves now he's a complete tool IMO. He can't just take short term success and try to move on off the back of it. He should finish the job, get them promoted next season then prove he's a premier league manager by keeping them up. THEN maybe other clubs will be looking at him. And his record at FC Twente doesn't bare consideration either? A Middlesbrough fan I worked with was devastated when he left the Riverside, we could do far, far worse then appoint him. He would continue to put across an ethos of technically good attacking play while also bringing through our academy players into the first team.
