Convict Colony Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 I think the suggestions in here just go to show there are some quality unemployed managers out there that we've heard about let alone the ones who are employed or haven't really heard of. I'm excited it's a bit like waiting for Christmas, Ralph would make a good Santa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 (edited) Think it's a disservice anyway. Saints are a solid team playing good football, Everton played some good stuff too. He liked creative players like mirallas and Pienaar. Wasn't all negative. I mean we wouldn't turn down mourinho would we?! The punt up to Cahill or Fellaini was always great viewing. I'm with Kevin Sheedy on this one. Still he'd be able to work wonders with a team like ours that has no strikers.

northam soul Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 Its no point being entertained all season and losing is it, this place would be in melt down. The new manager needs to have one objective and that is to win games of football. Sure I don't want to see allardyce or his style but at the end of the day you can play all the pretty stuff you want and lose. The board will choose I hope the person who is best suited to winning games however that may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom28 Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/10860028/David-Moyes-should-really-be-the-only-candidate-to-replace-Mauricio-Pochettino-as-Southampton-manager.html Moyes. I want Moyes. For all the reasons above plus unlike the disloyal Argy he will win us the FACup! His abilities to 'polish rough diamonds' and give 'youth a chance' are simply not enough to warrant being the 'only choice' to replace MP. His style of play I'm afraid is a thing of the past. Utd's approach under Moyes was very similar to his approach at Everton -and I can best describe it as attritional. Very little speed in their play and their approach was to be resolute, to try and bully teams, to be strong defensively and to be strong at set pieces. Over the years, he was able to buy in players at Everton that suited that style and so it was successful. At Utd, he never got that chance, and the personnel they had there didn't suit that style so it didn't work. I fear the same would be the case at Saints. Nothing against the bloke; I just don't think his style of play is anything close to what Saints have been trying to implement so I just can't see him being appointed.

SNSUN Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 Moyes here would be like Fat Sam at West Ham, totally the wrong fit for the club. Although Allardyce has kept his job by promising more attacking football. I look forward to seeing how that pans out... Whichever manager we choose, he'll need to bring in some new players, so a draw in the transfer market would be key. Of the managers that aren't a good fit for this club, i wonder if Moyes has the biggest draw to do that. Laudrup perhaps... Either way, whomever we choose, there'll be a mix of whelmed and underwhelmed people on here. I will simply back the new gaffer and wish him the best. Unless it's Hughton...

Short list pre-supposes at least 2 names,or so you'd think, otherwise it would be choice or manager elect or something; then refers to them in the singular...him, rather than them. Doesn't make much sense really, as to the reference of a season of dynamic and attacking football..well that just seems to be tacked on at the end for good measure. Now personally I think Uncle Ralphy takes you all (or us all) for a bunch of morons. Shouldn't have swallowed all the FF's books and MLT bolloaks so easily lads. Other than that perhaps his command of English isn't all that great..who knows. Edited 29 May, 2014 by Window Cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 It would be odd to announce a shortlist. There's always rumours and leaks, but official? Maybe it would be to gauge reaction. Huge criticism of a candidate could put them off. Happened with Hoddle and that wasn't even official. You'd think Moyes would be on the shortlist anyway. If we get a list of Garcia, Mackay, Lennon then we know we're in trouble! Perhaps the online vultures (bookies) could do a bet to make the short list if it's to be officially announced, sort of each way bet, I'm sure that it would help them to make ends meet.

Window Cleaner Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 Whether it turns out right or wrong, I don't understand why anyone thinks that way right now based on no information. Seems to be lots of people's hunches designed to say 'see told you so' later on, despite being based on very little. Certainly for me, the sooner Krueger wanders off into the sunset and a real football CEO is appointed the better I'll like it, absolutely no confidence whatsoever in the man, he's just a gab artist.

Ohio Saint Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 To release a short list to the public would be breaking new ground for sure. The most interesting thing to see would be the conundrum that some posters on here would face as they battle their wits about not having enough information from the club, yet trying to balance that with having too much information from an "Amateur board" Anyway, a short list would be VERY interesting!!

derry Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 In my opinion the 'Southampton way' will be a pre condition of any new manager. I personally think this will exclude a whole raft of popular names including Moyes. In fact anybody with a different philosophy. I think it will be another high quality coach that is already experienced and wants to play the Southampton way, fitting the present staff perfectly.

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 You get real too We HAD the best He left because he wanted a Club with AMBITION, and one willing to give him funds to do the job SFC, under KL, no longer has serious Ambition We lost a Great CEO for the same reason So, as I said, You get real Perhaps the penny will drop when you are all completely underwhelmed with the Calibre of KL's Managerial appointment Anyone who thinks it will be a Top Manager to drive us on is being deluded. KL's next "5 year Project" has been somewhat watered down from her Fathers quest to take us to the top You can get as angry as you like about KL's plans for the future but she owns the club lock stock and barrel and can do exactly what she likes. One of the drawbacks of being privately owned is we lose the right of protest when things don't go the way we want. Under Lowe he was at least answerable to shareholders, but technically speaking SFC is no longer our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a self-deprecating remark to Blackmore about talking too much - I can live with that. If anything it makes him affable. The most important thing from yesterday is that he began to crystallise what success looks like i.e. European football. It now gives everyone a very clear benchmark by which to judge MP's replacement, players sales and new signings. Here's hoping what you call 'waffle' is just a harmless exuberance.
