Giordano Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 With the amateur hour shenanigans going on at SMS right now we need an immediate impact man of substance EPL manager. No maybes no perhaps no " let him have time to see how the EPL works". No let him Learn English or develop contacts with other EPL clubs for players both on loan or as transfers. One guy is available right now and has all the doors open for him. One guy has instantly credibility and an unsurpassed EPL track record with our kind of club. Its Moyes all day long.
Toon Saint Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Listened to the Press Pass on the radio earlier. Paddy Barclay was adamant that since NC left there is a huge void at the club and despite sound bites, we have absolutely no leadership and direction from above. And there is more choppy times in the next week or so Dear, oh dear. Clueless Kat and wreck-it Ralph have really set phasers to self-destruct. Fear that we need a manager whose remit is more than just first-team coach to set the ambition and direction for the season, as the mounting anecdotal evidence suggests it isn't going to come from above.
Miltonaggro Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 So it boils down to this: Moyes: or Koeman: The choice belongs to Les Reed! Very happy if this is the short, shortlist. A battle of ginger versus strawberry blonde - always a divisive choice. Heart says Koeman, head says Moyes, loins say both able to take us forward and above the Tottenham tosspots. Let's get it done Krueger!...
saintbob40 Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Moyes=dull defensive football...so no. Koeman no idea...unproven in England but likely to be in favour of proper football. As a coach with vast experience of the English premier league I do not think McClaren is a bad shout. My fear is that Les Reed will attempt to put in a smaller name who doesn't impact on his newly found power base.
Gemmel Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Moyes interview on the BBC today, says he has had some exciting job offers, but is going to take some time off from the game and just watch football around the world.
supersonic Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Puel interview has been called off. Unsure at the moment if the decision has come from the club or him. Will post if/when get some news
Pierre Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 We need a manager who spends a lot of time watching academy players, and is willing to play them. That's the unique trength of this club. Moyes supposedly isn't that kind of manager. That was one of the point he was critized for at Man U. Frank de Boer is that kind of manager but will never come to Saints.
Toon Saint Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Getting a bit sick of players acting like 10 year old schoolboys. Waaah! I want to go because my best fwend has gone. Waah! I want to go because that nice Italian man who talked to us has gone. Waaah! I want to go because our lovely best fwend who speaks spanish to the telly people for a big laugh has gone. Waaah! I want to go because those nasty old men are 'ignoring' my important phone calls after all I've done for them. Oh, and I want a load of money. Can you arrange please agent? It's not only the board we should direct our criticism to. It is certainly annoying. But as Blackmore said, these group of players have never been a problem before, so why the issues now? Steven Gerrard was very critical of Reed in his autobiography so our players aren't the first to be frustrated with his methods.
thorpie the sinner Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Puel interview has been called off. Unsure at the moment if the decision has come from the club or him. Will post if/when get some news Puel?
Nolan Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Puel interview has been called off. Unsure at the moment if the decision has come from the club or him. Will post if/when get some news Hopefully because Koemans has accepted the job.

It won't be Moyes. He was "interviewed" last week by the Board. Turned us down due to No "positive" Funding to improve the Squad
Saint_Ash Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 It won't be Moyes. He was "interviewed" last week by the Board. Turned us down due to No "positive" Funding to improve the Squad Can you point me in the direction of Moyes stating this as fact please? Thanks

SaintRichmond Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Can you point me in the direction of Moyes stating this as fact please? Thanks Did I say Moyes said it ?? No Can I reveal my source ?? No Did he say he has had some "exiting" offers but was going to take a break from Football ?? Yes he did Just wait and see how things pan out Makes me laugh how people still think we can (or want) to attract BIG names

Yes he did Just wait and see how things pan out Makes me laugh how people still think we can (or want) to attract BIG names It is hard to reveal a source when you make it up. So if Moyes was talking about us then it's an exciting offer, sounds good to me. According to you Moyes rejected us due to lack of positive funding, maybe 50m + Sales isn't enough for Moyes now who thinks above his station after 5 minutes of failing at united but it will be plenty for another decent manager.
Nolan Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 It won't be Moyes. He was "interviewed" last week by the Board. Turned us down due to No "positive" Funding to improve the Squad So they spoke to moyes and didn't like him then. His agent is protecting him by spreading information that fits your agenda. And that is the worst case scenario Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
itchen_dan Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Puel interview was called off by the club Well, sounds like Koeman has one hand on the watch...
Topcat Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 This will not affect solely Saints. All clubs looking to recruit players from World Cup squads - and that will include pretty much every PL club - will be in limbo. There hasn't been a lot of business done since the end of the season, even among the top clubs. Presumably they won't be able to integrate any players they sign until late July - possibly even later as the top clubs are likley to be chasing players from counties expected to make the latter stages of the World Cup. If there is one peculiarity about World Cup summers it is that it pretty much plays havoc with every club's transfer ambitions. Yes but very few of the PL teams will have to be replacing 5 or more of their starting 11. Most (except ManU and the 3 promotions) will be building on a core of 8-9 of their current first choice starters and a squad largely intact from the previous season. We are likely to be at the top end of player churn. Unfortunately we are being reduced to the level of stability of the 3 promoted clubs, in terms of a settled side, but without the benefit of having a Manager who knows all the retained squad. ManU hope to overcome their scale of change by spending £250m. We are likely to see a net transfer spend of minus £30m+. We may even be outspent (in net terms) by the 3 promoted clubs.
alpine_saint Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Well, sounds like Koeman has one hand on the watch... Great, another fat Dutchman to take us down.
thorpie the sinner Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Puel interview was called off by the club Do you have a source in club then?
Colinjb Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Great, another fat Dutchman to take us down. I would say takes one to know one..... But that would be a little harsh.

You're living in a dream world. 50m + Sales, yes, that could be classed as "positive" Funding. But, having to sell before you buy, and no pot in the first place is not "positive" Funding, that is simply standing still at best
jasonb Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 I like the idea of Koemam. Would hopefully continue the traditions of the past whilst implementing some total football of his own. Would be an exciting name for the current bunch and potential new signings too. One caveat though is the distinct possibility that not only will we continue to be a feeder club for our players but potentially for our managers too. Koeman to Spurs in 2016 anyone ?? Those North London Yobbo's just can't do their own homework!!
SaintRichmond Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 You seem to have gone slightly mental. Just another internet tool mocking people for not believing the sourceless ITK facts they spout. Sorry but we'd be pretty naive to take you seriously given the number of attention seekers online. Agreed. As long as you agree when the "sourceless facts" become reality
Viking Warrior Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Interviews tend to be confidential , I suspect whoever is leaking the news the club have interviewed whoever and cancelled the Puel interview will soon be looking for a job themselves. the club seem to have more leaks than Mr Assanges team of spies
alpine_saint Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 I would say takes one to know one..... But that would be a little harsh. I'm not Dutch.
del boy Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Well, sounds like Koeman has one hand on the watch... Good - he'll like a nice new one then with at least two hands
Colinjb Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 I'm not Dutch. Glad the hysteria hasn't clouded your judgement that much. Fingers crossed for Koeman, him with a decent budget and hand on the academy tiller will be a shot in the arm.
SaintRichmond Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Agreed. As long as you agree when the "sourceless facts" become reality Not quite with you on that one. I don't believe "sourceless facts"
Colinjb Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Not quite with you on that one. I don't believe "sourceless facts" Dude, you've just quoted yourself.....
Wade Garrett Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Saints might think that it is a good day to bury bad news if the new manager is appointed today. Bit contrived everything being confirmed about Lambert at dead on 11am.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Dude, you've just quoted yourself..... He just forgot to log in with his other id
Colinjb Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 He just forgot to log in with his other id Well, he did his best to string us along!
SaintRichmond Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Dude, you've just quoted yourself..... You're missing my point The "facts" do have sources Ones I have no intention in revealing If that doesn't sit right with you, then tough, just wait and see
Colinjb Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 (edited) You're missing my point The "facts" do have sources Ones I have no intention in revealing If that doesn't sit right with you, then tough, just wait and see No, your point is irrelevant.

farawaysaint Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 (edited) No, your point is irrelevant. I just find it highly amusing that you are disagreeing with yourself! And St Richmond confirmed as a wind-up merchant was never heard from again Edited 2 June, 2014 by farawaysaint
Saint Charlie Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Deep into the process then. Also seen that Koeman's assistant Van Bronkshorst is staying at Feyenoord so if it is him he would need someone else.
SaintRichmond Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 And St Richmond confirmed as a wind-up merchant was never heard form again Again, I don't get it. I can assure anyone that I am NOT a wind up merchant, so, unfortunately for some, I will be heard from again
Colinjb Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 (edited) Again, I don't get it. I can assure anyone that I am NOT a wind up merchant, so, unfortunately for some, I will be heard from again No problem with you sticking around, but why did you post in argument to yourself? How can you possibly explain that? Skirting this is not going to do you any good. Unless you can explain this you have no credibility i'm afraid. Edited 2 June, 2014 by Colinjb
Goodfella Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 We are staying true to our plan and vision and, as a result, we have no need to accept any offers.

SB Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Is it just be but would really dislike the appointment of Koeman, maybe it's just mad memories from our last Dutch duo
Colinjb Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Is it just be but would really dislike the appointment of Koeman, maybe it's just mad memories from our last Dutch duo I know what you mean, but it's not fair to compare all Englishmen as the same so i'm happy to give the guy more then a chance on the basis of his record.
