LeBenali Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Have a friend who works at Southampton airport, says a Mr Koeman has just arrived. Hmmm there is a flight that arrives from Amsterdam at 14.10...

thorpie the sinner Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 on koeman that is http://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/southampton/next-permanent-manager Cant get link, what are odds now?
Sour Mash Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Cant get link, what are odds now? Bit of variance, but around evens for Koeman to come to us.
St Lej Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 I now have no faith in this joke of a "board" to bring in a decent replacement. Getting the feeling that succes on the pitch now isn't as paramount as the finances. As soon as that happens It's always a wonder whether any decision is actually made on footballing grounds first, or finances/yes men first
Kingsland Red Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Have a friend who works at Southampton airport, says a Mr Koeman has just arrived. This is what we need , lots of sightings of potential managers in and around the city.

Getting the feeling that succes on the pitch now isn't as paramount as the finances. As soon as that happens It's always a wonder whether any decision is actually made on footballing grounds first, or finances/yes men first If we fend off Liverpool over Lallana, I'll have a little more faith in Reed. What worries me is how can he negotiate with the best managers whilst simultaneously be seen to be asset stripping at worst or weakening the team at best, whether it makes financial sense or not (and so far Rickie's fee hasn't made financial sense)? Surely thats got to put off the best candidates not attract them!? Perhaps thats why Moyes is not seemingly in the frame?
Goodfella Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Have a friend at the docks, says a Mr Allardyce has arrived on a jet ski
supersonic Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 I've heard a rumour Yakins move to CSKA has failed. Can anyone confirm that as I have done some research and my Russian is poor (non existent). it failed because they have a manager already, it's Spartak Moscow he's on the bring of joining
SaintRobbie Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 The Sky cameras are at Soton airport. They just caught Rickie there
SaintRobbie Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Have a friend at the docks, says a Mr Allardyce has arrived on a jet ski PMSL! It's true - pic just in....
Goodfella Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Lol concrete evidence there, sound decision from the board. Rumours of first managerial decision suggest reduction of pukka pie cost
SNSUN Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 We could do worse than Harry Redknapp. We need a few 'triffic boys' brought in. :-)
SaintRichmond Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 My thoughts exactly. Instead of constant criticism of the board why don't people start looking at the players. Its not like they're being sold against their will. True, they are being sold because A) They want an Ambitious Club, and B) The SFC Board are in full control of transfers, and will sanction them as soon as they can Simples
View From The Top Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 True, they are being sold because A) They want an Ambitious Club, and B) The SFC Board are in full control of transfers, and will sanction them as soon as they can Simples I would call you a c**t but they have some depth. Player is offered £80k per week to play at one of the worlds biggest clubs and you wonder why they want to go?
Saint Without a Halo Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 My thoughts exactly. Instead of constant criticism of the board why don't people start looking at the players. Its not like they're being sold against their will. Would the players be unsettled if the board had ambition and a clear planned way ahead like we had before?
simo Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Any one of these will do (yes even moyes) http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/1787313-25-best-managers-in-world-football-right-now/page/26
CB Fry Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 To be fair to Gross his record is good and is even better that Yakin's at the same club and yoi were keen on Yakin. Yakin has that special extra something. Now what is it? Oh yeah. He's not bloody Christian Gross.
Graffito Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Would the players be unsettled if the board had ambition and a clear planned way ahead like we had before? But we have a plan. Ralph said so: "The plan is a permanently evolving entity. We have a plan, we are very well structured and organised and have extremely good people heading up that plan. As we evolve we are continually strengthening and working on that plan." What's more we have a vision: "The vision has been very clear right through to the last person, and that is to take this club into European football. It is driving everything we do." That's why we are selling our best players.
Window Cleaner Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Claude Puel Would be a good call really. His biggest problem is that he doesn't take bullsh*t from anyone, We'd have to give Reed the shove before you'd get Puel in the door.
Lighthouse Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Would the players be unsettled if the board had ambition and a clear planned way ahead like we had before? Do you think if the current board were more ambitious UEFA might let us play in next years Champions League? You know, if we ask extra nicely.
Saint Charlie Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Some interesting comments about Koeman from Feyenoord fan @Markla94: I don't know much about the Saints, but I do know they have a good academy. He would be a good one, he is someone who has brought a lot of academy players into the first team, both at Ajax and Feyenoord. When he came to Feyenoord, we had no money and only academy players. He created something very special. So I think he is a good coach in hard situations (I explained the context of the current situation). But when you have money to spend, he can bring in the right players for sure. In that case, he is the ideal next manager. Some rumors today that he wants to bring Graziano Pelle along. Would be thrilling for you to have him. Best striker in NL.
Ken Tone Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 I'd be happy with koeman, but let's hope that whoever they appoint will arrive soon, and put his foot down over selling players

Saint Charlie Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 (edited) Looks a proper number nine type striker. Sounds like another Osvaldo type: http://www.football-oranje.com/the-story-of-graziano-pelle-hero-or-villain/ Edited 31 May, 2014 by Saint Charlie
Faz Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Pelle would be an interesting option - would bring some Lambertesque qualities. Perhaps there is a plan???
shurlock Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Perhaps there is a plan??? Who knows -its the Dutch league but he has all the right attributes to make it in England and wouldn't cost a stack either.
simo Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 I've tweeted Koeman's agent I'll let you know if I get a reply !
Sour Mash Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Pelle's record at Feyenoord looks outstanding, even if you take the quality of the league into account, but his career before that point looks pretty journeyman. Anyone know much more about him? Has he came close to getting a look in for Italy?

Anyone know much more about him? Has he came close to getting a look in for Italy? Paid the price for playing in one of the little leagues. Watched him a few times on ESPN and got my attention when Chelsea were linked. Was touted as one of Europe's hottest prospects when he was a youngster but subsequently lost his way. Really kicked on under Koeman after Feyenoord sold Guidetti (who's hardly set England alight, though he's been ill). Very good technique, though more of a finisher than an allround player like Lambert.
Topcat Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 The problem is that Ralph's plan seems to have omitted a short list of who they would offer the Saints manager job to once MP started meeting the Spuds.

Window Cleaner Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 The problem is that Ralph's plan seems to have omitted a short list of who they would offer the Saints manager job to once MP started meeting the Spuds. Not great for what's supposed to be one of the finest minds around on organisation and planning is it. Whereas Cortese, village idiot if you listen to some, he had a new guy lined up the day he wanted to sack the old guy.
Topcat Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Not great for what's supposed to be one of the finest minds around on organisation and planning is it. and that Window Cleaner hits the nail on the head about Kreuger. He appears to be all talk and no action. One of the worst types of Leaders.
Window Cleaner Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 and that Window Cleaner hits the nail on the head about Kreuger. He appears to be all talk and no action. One of the worst types of Leaders. He doesn't lead, he tells other people how to lead. You know like a Uni prof, tells you how it is and then gets hit by a bus crossing the road because he's dreamed up some nobel prize theory.

Yes or as the Consultant who asks you to tell him the time using your watch. I do believe that a media backlash on Kreuger may be the best we can hope for to wake him up!

Player is offered £80k per week to play at one of the worlds biggest clubs and you wonder why they want to go? Under the present circumstances, I'm not at all surprised that they want away IMHO, if Pochettino had stayed, the players would have stayed, because next season we could have qualified for Europe, something most Top players want So, as I said, they will seek to go to Ambitious Clubs What part of that don't you agree with. Calling me names does not alter the fact that SFC is a Shambles at the moment But I expect you think it is all peaches and cream
Give it to Ron Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Claude Puel Where did you pluck this name from - just guessing, wishful thinking or grapevine??
Saint Without a Halo Posted 31 May, 2014 Posted 31 May, 2014 Do you think if the current board were more ambitious UEFA might let us play in next years Champions League? You know, if we ask extra nicely. So you think the current board have a plan and have sold it to the former manager and players do you and therefore the existing chaos and bail outs are not happening?
