Convict Colony Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Of course this could be reference to the deck of cards about to collapse at Saints as opposed to something positive. Fingers crossed for something good. Maybe he is making a p*rn compilation best of !!
Window Cleaner Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Have to admit I don't know too much about him. WHy would he be such a great appointment? I know Basel beat Chelski twice in the CL and that is an achievement' date=' but what else makes you so keen? (Honest question - not a saracastic one)[/quote'] he's obviously got something about him, I thought he was pre-supposed at Lazio actually but don't know where he is with that. Trouble is so many managers have come into the PL and been instant failures, there have been successes as well though, mainly from Spain.
Mallagroth Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Clearly it's about Pochettino leaving... Yeah obviously, but that's hardly an entire evenings work. I mean do they expect more than one bit of news. We've all said for a long time that MP decision will affect a lot of other things.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Let's not beat around the bush, this is a great job for a manager to come into, and I think a lot of good managers will be interested. We are a top 8 Premier League team with the players to push on. We're the fit bird next door, and a lot of people like to look over the fence.

We're the fit bird next door, and a lot of people like to look over the fence. err so were Swansea and West Brom, one got a complete failure and the other got Gary Monk. A PL team in our time is what the owner is prepared to invest in it once it gets to second base.
Bewildered Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Quotes from Yakin (taken from Joe Batchelor's twitter) Yakin: “It would be an exciting adventure. I have got an agent who is responsible for England. I heard about Saints, but nothing concrete. Yakin: “I’ve watched the EPL and I know they were well placed It will be good to have a chance to see some of their players play at the WC. Yakin: “I left Basel by mutual agreement. I felt I would like a new challenge and see what happens and what new opportunities arise. Yakin: “My English is OK. It is no problem for me to use it with the team, perhaps it needs a few months’ practice for the public.”
niceandfriendly Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Is he doing a good job with Latvia? I've no idea. Would love to see him as boss one day, if ready.
gonzo Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I'dbe happy with Uwe Eisler or Tim Sherwood. *Rosler. Apparently I can't edit my own posts.
DG Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Hoddle, just for a laugh and to silence you know who once and for all.

Badger 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 But would he 'translate' into the English game ? I don't mean language as I've read he speaks English, but putting it another way, how would the squad receive him ? That will be an acid test for any incoming manager.
Bakovnetski Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Leads one to asking the question why do we have candidates for a job that is not officially vacant, or is MP long gone having paid his 2 million £ and no-one thought to mention it. Yakin quit Basle a while back, a week, maybe 2, did we lead him on to do that or was it just a good idea to him at the time. Probably just more tweetbolloax anyway. Remember that MoPo was lined up for 3 weeks before the Don pulled he trigger on Nigel....
Convict Colony Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Think Bearsy in all seriousness should write apply for the job.

If he's not prone to speculation those quotes are very encouraging. Might well be in the pipeline already.
John Boy Saint Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 We would have to soften the blades of grass down the training ground so he doesn't hurt himself if he did come here.
sentry Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 No its official can we have a pole please!? My vote goes with Benitez, the board should go all out to get him.
Toon Saint Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Anyone know what his record for speaking to the press is like? If he's not prone to speculation those quotes are very encouraging. Might well be in the pipeline already. Don't think so as Alex Crook's news agency were hassling agents on twitter throughout the day before getting the quotes out of him. May not even be in the thoughts of the board.
sentry Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Id be happy with Sherwood, McClaren, Benitez, Rosler, Yakin, Hoddle. I would hate, Redknapp. That is all.
pangy Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Yakin fits the mould of what Cortese would want Let's see if KL & co share the same vision
Saint Charlie Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Benitez is an absolutely ludicrous suggestion. Would never, ever, ever come here.
pangy Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I don't know much about Yakin,but I saw him mastermind those wins over Chelsea and he seems to be highly rated Basel play decent football,based on those games I saw in the CL I would say get him in
Dellman Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 KL and co do not share the same vision, I'm beginning to doubt there is a vision at all
Saint Charlie Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Other possibles: Martin Jol Sean Dyche Gianfranco Zola Dennis Rofe Anders Limpar
Convict Colony Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Benitez is an absolutely ludicrous suggestion. Would never, ever, ever come here. Dude you are posting more than me today and I don't have to work, please tell me you are in charge otherwise your getting sacked in the morning lol
MatthewStiles Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I don't watch a lot of lower league football so difficult to comment but I liked these positive comments from Brendan Rogers on Eddie Howe (after the FA cup game): 'When you have a team that want to play football they are the most courageous players on the field,' said Rodgers. 'It is easy to coach a team to sit back, not want the ball and defend and then just wait for a hump up the pitch. 'The courage that the Bournemouth players showed today was fantastic - they have got better, I have watched them as the season has gone on. 'It is coaches like Eddie Howe who will take the game forward in this country because they believe in a way of working and they have a philosophy. 'Bournemouth are a very good side and I give credit to them first of all. Eddie is similar to myself in terms of the philosophy of football.
Saint Charlie Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Dude you are posting more than me today and I don't have to work, please tell me you are in charge otherwise your getting sacked in the morning lol Might as well post more when there is more to talk about. Plus, Benitez is a ridiculous suggestion. Fancy Mourinho too?
sentry Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Other possibles: Martin Jol Sean Dyche Gianfranco Zola Dennis Rofe Anders Limpar Ha, Benitez is ludicrous but Zola and Jol arnt?!?! Ha! (Ludicrous suggestions for completely different reasons).
Convict Colony Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Might as well post more when there is more to talk about. Plus, Benitez is a ridiculous suggestion. Fancy Mourinho too? Hey I'm innocent, remember I didn't highlight him on the odds earlier :-)
martel Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Poyet? He was a knob at Brighton but fits our style. I have to agree with that, look what he achieved at Sunderland, he was the main man at Leeds too even though he was not the manager.
aintforever Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I'm not a huge fan of Moyes but with him we shouldn't go down so would be happy with that.
Kingsland Red Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I agree Yakin ,but a statement of intent would also be Benitez or Mancini now we are the best opportunity in the league. A Hughton, Maclaren ,Mackay type journeyman would not be well received by the Kingsland Red Family. !
Saint_Jonny Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I watch a **** load of football and I have no idea who you lot are on about. Yakin who? I said that about Poch to be fair!
Suomi Saint Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Don't worry................Southampton Saints will be appointing a top quality coach. Don't know about us, though.
Saxon Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Yakin would get my vote. Definitely think that would make the players have a think about going anywhere and did some really good things with Basel Supporting that: Positive comments from him regarding the possibility, and he's currently leading the odds at the moment (william hill have him at 11/4). We can pretend that Macky isn't the bookies' next favourite
Mr X Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Never thought id say it but bring back cortese for all his faults we wouldn't be in this mess, the board are directionless, les reed has known for months MP was off and fed the fans a load of lies
Convict Colony Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Yakin. Got to be. 10000000000000000000%, if beating Chelsea and Spurs in Europe over the years and developing players with a low budget for the team isn't enough I look forward to seeing the guys credentials who is better.
Wes Tender Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Yakin. Got to be. I wouldn't mind. Especially if we had already set that in motion
