Baird of the land Posted 27 May, 2014 Share Posted 27 May, 2014 This is the bit I dont like. It would be nice to have the new man in within the next week to ten days. Get some plans in place for moving forward. Also who is he expecting to see at the World Cup? Maya, Gason? Surely everyone else is on the way out anyway. Think he's more acknowledging that we've got some World Cup players of note. See no reason if we sell him with an ambitious challenge he'd refuse to sign till he'd watched all the World Cup games.

Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 27 May, 2014 Share Posted 27 May, 2014 Saints don't play a game between now and July so even if he was appointed tomorrow the World Cup is indeed a good chance for him to see them in action. How naive. In the meantime, half the first team will be gone. We need to move swiftly to stop this happening. Surely the board has known for some time that we might be in need of a new manager and has already sounded guys like this out?

whelk Posted 27 May, 2014 Share Posted 27 May, 2014 Anyone that watched his side beat Chelsea twice in the Champions League this season, made the Europa League semi finals in 2013 and quarter finals in 2014 on Sky and ITV?

SuperMikey Posted 27 May, 2014 Share Posted 27 May, 2014 Wouldn't mind taking him as a player if he can ping one of these in every once in a while either In all seriousness though, he seems like a good fit for us - we just have to make sure he's the right guy to take us forward (tbh I would take sideways).

whelk Posted 27 May, 2014 Share Posted 27 May, 2014 I am happy to admit I only know about him through the context of Saints, and his name has been knocked about a bit here. I'm no great Euro - football follower so happy to claim limited knowledge. But look at his long hair, his nice suits and olive skin. Chuck in a bit of European experience and a trophy or two and he's the total effing package. Get him in RK by the weekend or its hunger strike time for this fan. Could he take Simeone?

No, it's imperative that we appoint the right person and don't rush into things. I very much doubt we will be buying or selling before the WC. Agents will want to wait for a deal, knowing a decent WC will push the prices up through the roof. We are lucky it's a WC year, there is no great rush to do anything. Not appointing a manager will be far better than announcing tomorrow that we've appointed Hughton, Sherwood or Whiskey George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeShmoe Posted 27 May, 2014 Share Posted 27 May, 2014 Yakin would be my number one atm. Moyes and Klinsman wouldn't be that bad surely. I'd rather have Yakin, but it wouldn't annoy me if one of these two were to come in. Laudrup is in the middle for me (maybe he'll try in the cups though eh ) De Boer and Benitez, great managers- except they're too big for our club. I highly doubt they'd come here. Hughton/Mackay/McClaren type managers- NOOOOOO This, this and thrice this Yakin seems like its a perfect fit and hopefully the players see that as well. In my view it's imperative the board move quickly as agents will be all over the players and it gives a new manager lots of time to look at players during the WC and on film if he's not seen them before (I.e championship, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you rate their chances of keeping hold of our want away talent when they have their heads turned? Just my personal opinion on the candidates discussed. Moyes probably unfairly discredited after failure at Man Utd but not sure he'd be a perfect fit with us. Rosler plays a more progressive style of football and would bring less baggage than Moyes. Acceptable bracket would be more 'begrudging acceptance' as I'd hope we'd choose a candidate from the top two lists. It's all subjective and I'm not representing this as a definitive list, merely my own take on the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
