DT Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 If it is Doddsy and Hunter, Harsh though it sounds, them going makes Pochettino staying more likely imo. I doubt its a decision you would take in the absence of your current and future managers input. Real shame for them though. I thought that too. Hope it signals a condition of MP staying - that he brings in coaches to replace them
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 Just a hunch but I would go with Les Reed and Gareth Rogers. High profiled enough for a journo to be bothered about it.
Huffton Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 Saw Dodd in Waitrose in Romsey a few months back. Seemed to have a lot of booze in his trolly, maybe he's feeling the strain and is turning to the old enemy for comfort Or maybe he was going to pay Boruc a visit...
ericofarabia Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 hearing strong rumour that we're looking to re-poach huge ennings + something elias back from fulham now they is relegate. Maybe clearing house to make this happen? I think there is lot of credence to this cos i invented it myself. I read an article the other day bout Fulham academy is #1 since they poached all our top bros. Are you sure you aren't really The Chief Sports Editor at The Mirror / Sun / Mail / Echo etc. Brilliant piece of sports investigationalism. Ex SFC connections, relegated club looking to save money, unsubstantiated dismissal rumours ... bingo!!
RedArmy Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 Why? Because they've done such a terrible job signing players to get Saints from 68th to 8th in England in 5 years?or for wasting money that if we had available to us this upcoming season it would've helped to convince our manager and top players to give us at least one more season.
the saint in winchester Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 A couple of people in the ticket office, probably. "Behind the scenes".
itchen_dan Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 @bigadamsport: I have no confirmation from anyone on this , but the two #saintsfc departures being talked about could be Jason Dodd & Paul Williams Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Edmonton Saint Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 according to Adam Blackmore, Dodd and Williams.
Viking Warrior Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 I think the Journo is being naughty and stirring things up re Saints. Must be a skate or someone that doesnt like saints fc Its probably a mutual arrangement that two folk have left the club and there is no where to redeploy them to As for Herbie , he has retired from doing Stadium tours so its not him , he did is tours on a totally voluntary basis
Give it to Ron Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 according to Adam Blackmore, Dodd and Williams. So this could possibly mean our new manager wants to bring in his own team ?
Saint Charlie Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 Perhaps MP said he wants to bring in his own men?
Viking Warrior Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 If it is D and W then it will be they are now surplus to requirement and are having their contracts terminated in line with appropriate good employment practice Nothing more sinister than that, The original reporter is mischief making and nothing but a drama queen More worried about Morgans comment on another thread
Give it to Ron Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 Perhaps MP said he wants to bring in his own men? Well the few times I have been to watch games at academy they seem to be popular...perhaps thats the issue.
Sour Mash Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 I think the Journo is being naughty and stirring things up re Saints. Must be a skate or someone that doesnt like saints fc Do you honestly believe that?
Viking Warrior Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 Sour mash yes i believe he is stirring it up re saints. know idea if he is a skate but using the word shocked was a bit over the top. Things like that happen in football, look at the guys that were not retained. I must admit I saw some footage of dodsy and he had some barrel of a belly on him, Made MLT look anorexic Come to think of it so did paul williams It was the footage of the staff footy game the other week
stevegrant Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 I must admit I saw some footage of dodsy and he had some barrel of a belly on him, Made MLT look anorexic Come to think of it so did paul williams I wasn't aware that it was a prime requirement for someone in a coaching/management role to be at the peak of fitness.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 Exactly, Paul Jewel showed in that documentary that big guys can still show technique, a silky soft touch and movement when needed.
Give it to Ron Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 I wasn't aware that it was a prime requirement for someone in a coaching/management role to be at the peak of fitness. Malcolm Elias can now hardly walk yet is one of the best in the UK!
Goatboy Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 Malcolm Elias can now hardly walk yet is one of the best in the UK! Good Lord, what did Paul Jewel do to him?
Alain Perrin Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 according to Adam Blackmore, Dodd and Williams. And behold, the power of the internet... Reducing a caveated tweet with 'no confirmation' and 'could' to a statement of fact.
Viking Warrior Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 Steve your right about someone being fit but it might be a requirement of the job it might not . I see you have distorted my words . I don't recollect mentioning anything about being at peak fitness just commented they had both filled out somewhat that's all . When I saw the footage of doddies dynamos I thought bloody hell Jason you have put on some weight .
norwaysaint Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 I wouldn't feel too bad if Dodd went, but that's only on the possibly misguided understanding that it was him who made life hard for Sturrock when he was here. Sturrock may not have been good enough, but if it's true that Dodd was a disruptive undermining *****, then it's probably best he's not around the club. Of course if that rumour wasn't true, I should just wind my neck in.

[face-palm thing]
Smirking_Saint Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 She has been receiving flirty direct messages from Luke Shaw over twitter recently! (much too young for her but I have been encouraging it. She said the only one who showed any interest in her was yoshida ) He goes for anything with a pulse that lad, and yes, I do know that for a fact (No bearsy, not me)
Smirking_Saint Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 Who is more high profile than Dodd who isn't part of the first team squad? It could just be Nixon trying to get interest in his story, barbera the tea lady got caught trying to do a bad canadian accent
ART Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 Maybe Nixon just happens to be a well known forum poster who's been banned. After all the poster did claim to be in the know as does Nixon himself.Consequently he's getting his revenge by stirring up Saints supporters.
itchen_dan Posted 19 May, 2014 Posted 19 May, 2014 Story should be online on mirror.co.uk in around 25 minutes.
SaintBobby Posted 20 May, 2014 Posted 20 May, 2014 Story should be online on mirror.co.uk in around 25 minutes. Hmmmm.... major story by the look of it (7 hours later). Seems not only to be in the Mirror and on its website, but now also across the entire mainstream media. A very impressive coup by that investigative journalist. Very, very impressive.
EBS1980 Posted 20 May, 2014 Posted 20 May, 2014 So did any of this "major" news actually make the papers??
St Chalet Posted 20 May, 2014 Posted 20 May, 2014 So did any of this "major" news actually make the papers?? It would appear not
saintchris23 Posted 20 May, 2014 Posted 20 May, 2014 Wasn't there a cocaine story recently about a high profile club and two of its employees?
positivepete Posted 20 May, 2014 Posted 20 May, 2014 Wasn't there a cocaine story recently about a high profile club and two of its employees? Leeds
farawaysaint Posted 20 May, 2014 Posted 20 May, 2014 It would appear not Didn't he say in later tweets he was barred from releasing details? I could check myself but I'm lazy
Viking Warrior Posted 20 May, 2014 Posted 20 May, 2014 Im utterly shocked and stunned there is no story . Maybe the mirror decided that abu hamza story was more important
Bearsy Posted 20 May, 2014 Posted 20 May, 2014 such cover up. This one clearly goes right to the top.
Convict Colony Posted 20 May, 2014 Author Posted 20 May, 2014 #saintsfc former players & under-18 coaches Jason Dodd & Paul Williams are the two staff who are departing/being replaced

JoeShmoe Posted 20 May, 2014 Posted 20 May, 2014 Luke Shaw has just tweeted "wrong decision" All not sunny in the camp it seems. My pessimist half wonders if this is the first screw coming loose in the wheels falling off the optimistic one says at least Shaw is still bothered
pap Posted 20 May, 2014 Posted 20 May, 2014 Hmmmm.... major story by the look of it (7 hours later).

Case of premature ejaculation, Bobby? Happens after a certain age, I'm told
farawaysaint Posted 20 May, 2014 Posted 20 May, 2014 Boooooooo, why on earth let go of those two? Both who have Saints best interests at heart, perhaps they questioned certain decisions made with only financial considerations?
John Boy Saint Posted 20 May, 2014 Posted 20 May, 2014 @bigadamsport: Unfortunately for #saintsfc fans, there is no connection between coached leaving & Pochettino's future as manager Thats it Adam put another log on the fire to keep it going.................... Although the speed this thread went from start to 3 pages shows that the merest spark and a light Zephyr and away we go like a tinderbox.

You can hardly accuse AB of being a schitt stirrer.
Saint Charlie Posted 20 May, 2014 Posted 20 May, 2014 Is there anyone who is still believes in the new board?!

farawaysaint Posted 20 May, 2014 Posted 20 May, 2014 Is there anyone who is still believes in the new board?! As I said above, I'm rather concerned that they have gotten rid of two of the very few staff members remaining who would put the good of SFC ahead of financial concerns. This worries me greatly.
Toon Saint Posted 20 May, 2014 Posted 20 May, 2014 Luke Shaw also tweeted 'confused' when Adkins left. Let's hope the replacements are equal caliibre to the first team coaching staff. Would be interesting to know which member of staff instigated the changes - KL, RK or LR?
