Window Cleaner Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 (edited) Why? contrary to the mass flow I actually think he did a decent job at Brighton and again at Sunderland. Sorting out the mess Di Canio left wasn't easy I'd think but he got them to safety with some decent performances.

Matthew Le God Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/478314/Poyet-Lennon-and-Petrescu-in-frame-to-be-new-Saints-boss-as-Spurs-close-in-on-Pochettino Poyet, Lennon and Petrescu in frame apparently according to the Express. Petrescu's name has been lingering around like a bad smell for a few months - reminds me very much of how Krueger's name was eased into the frame as eventual Chairman. Please God, no. Isn't it terrible that Poyet looks like the best option out of those three? That article isn't based on what the Express knows, throughout they are just referring to the Ladbrokes odds in the next Southampton manager market.

SuperMikey Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 Poyet is the last person I would hire - decent record as a manager but he's a complete odious c*nt. If Poch is off there are candidates to replace him, but nobody who will rock the boat and upset the good team spirit we have (currently). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royce2uk Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 Steve McClaren for me. He has a few blots on his record but so do most. Winning titles in Holland with FC Twente is more than a good effort! Took Boro into a European final as well. Unfortunately people will struggle to look past his time as England manager. Just keep the brollies away from him.

pangy Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 I would imagine we are a very attractive project for the right manager,as long as they believe in bringing through the youth and can attract decent players I genuinely think we can attract someone bigger than MP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Saint Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 No one has mentioned Paul Lambert. Before I get a shellacking, I know it is hard to look past his possession stats with Villa and see him as an ideal fit based on our own brand of football this season. However, I do feel he has been dealt a really bad hand at Villa and not spent a great deal of money with a lot of restrictions placed on him in terms of lowering the wage bill. Some of his signings have been dodgy - though partly due to the markets he was shopping in - but then he also the ability to spot a gem like Benteke. I thought he actually had Norwich playing some decent football in the PL before he left. When Weimann, Benteke, and Abonglahor have all been fit and have started together (quite rare this season) they have also looked quite exciting going forward. Villa have had one of the youngest first teams this season and I could definitely see Lambert maintaining our commitment to blooding youngsters from the academy. He's obviously much more of a pragmatist than the likes of Poch and we'd probably have to get adjust to a lesser brand of football, but the guy has a Champions League winners medal and seems to earn the respect of his players. The uncertainty with their ownership might present us with a chance...and I reckon we could do a lot worse based on candidates currently under discussion.

shirley precinct Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 Did any more information ever surface about Dodd and williams leaving?

OldNick Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 I think we. Will be OK but a betting man might be looking at relegation odds. They would be quite favourable now but by September they may have shortened quite a bit. We feel pretty cheesed of can u imagine the morale of the squad as well. They can't have too much faith in the new board as they have left a few players high and dry. My friend who worked at the club and was n the dressing room under Pardew told me the other day that when Reed arrived it was commented that 'he's come to take my job again' Wonder what the odds for Reed to be the man for a spell lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that he is by no means a perfect fit, but at least an experienced PL manager who is committed to playing young players. People are happy to offer the likes of Rosler and Howe but with little evidence that they could make the step-up to Premier League management. Some managers - the likes of Moyes or Lambert - are probably a bit unfairly tarnished with their experience at one club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 If the club can't keep hold of Pochettino I doubt they have the ambition to buy a good manager out of a contract at another club - so it will be someone who is already out of a job - or at club lower down the leagues The favourites must be Lennon, Petrescu and Oscar Garcia I'd have Adkins back but why would he leave Reading - a club who are just about to be bought by a billionaire - all be it a Chelsea fan What worries me is if Pochettino does go Lallana, Shaw, Schneiderlin and Lovren will almost certainly follow hm out of the door for Champions League football And I imagine Fonte and Cork won't sign new contracts so I expect they'll go as well as the club tries to cash in on them when they still have a year on their contracts Wanyama, Clyne and Rodriguez will probably want out as well - to bigger, better and more ambitious clubs I expect Lennon will want the job - and perhaps his only saving grace is he'll keep Wanyama happy and maybe bring Fraser Forster with him Still it could be worse we could be Norwich I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncanRG Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 Benitez is probably the only one where his appointment would make most players want to stay and show real ambition. Southampton is as nice as Naples right? He's said he views Napoli as a 'stopgap' and wants to return to England. You have to assume he's been holding out for a top job but it doesn't look like he'll be getting one this summer. If Pochettino leaves for Spurs we're the best English job going but I doubt he's so desperate to come back to the PL that he'd join us. Out of our league, sadly.
