egg Posted 12 June, 2014 Posted 12 June, 2014 Reed said it was fairly far down the line, just paperwork to do and that it was one of the top four. Won't be Mancini. That's what he said. I've got money on Mancini.
the saint in winchester Posted 12 June, 2014 Posted 12 June, 2014 if fabregas can sign for chelsea whilst in brazil, im sure a new manager can sign for saints whilst on holiday I would think we would want to unveil the new manager in a big hua-haa, with him walking through the door to a round of applause, rather than over a dodgy satellite link.
St Lej Posted 12 June, 2014 Posted 12 June, 2014 The longer this drags on the more i expect Chris Coleman Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Alpine still thinks it'll be Mick Wadsworth
Andy Durman Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Koeman still in Turkey. If its him that is our preferred candidate then surely he would have cut that short by now? No need a manager needs a holiday and the contract will be signed on his return
wild-saint Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 whilst i will of course still go to most of the games, I can confirm that should saints appoint Steve Bruce then the board / owners will officially lose my support moving forward. That is all.

Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Why in the hell would anyone imagine saints would appoint Bruce as manager???? Because Saints have a reputation for doing very strange things. Who would've thought they'd have employed a world cup winning rugby coach? Or Harry Redknapp???
SaintRichmond Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 No need a manager needs a holiday and the contract will be signed on his return Yes, there's no rush In all the uncertainty, all our "stars" want to leave, and we Supporters have no idea what KL's plans are, Neither do the players come to that Replacements (hopefully) have to be found, chatted up, have the "project" sold to them, and signed, but who's going to be lured to a Club who have yet to appoint a replacement Manager Not all that long before what's left of our "squad" will be reporting back for pre season training We read daily of other Prem teams plans and acquisitions for 2014/15, so not many more weeks to firm up on things. Bur there's no rush eh ?

Tokyo-Saint Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Haha good point. The next game is a must win relegation 6 pointer imo.
doddisalegend Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Because Saints have a reputation for doing very strange things. Who would've thought they'd have employed a world cup winning rugby coach? Or Harry Redknapp??? That was the old saints. Since the take over saints have a good record with bringing in managers despite what people think Les Reed isn't totally brain dead.
trousers Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Yep, have to agree with this. Our board are procrastinating the club into the Championship. Said Alpine whilst slipping another "glad I was proved wrong in hindsight" card up his sleeve....just in case....

That is all. What about Eddie Howe? Had a text this morning from someone with Dorset FA connect ions, claiming he's on the short list. Can't see it myself, but will kick myself if it happens and I didn't post it.
CB Saint Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Because Saints have a reputation for doing very strange things. Who would've thought they'd have employed a world cup winning rugby coach?

(This is not an open door for alpine to start cr aping on about gaston)
Danbert Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 A friend of mine who's friends with the family says Ian Dowie's been holding talks

Can't see it myself, but will kick myself if it happens and I didn't post it. Yes but we have managers from all over Europe knocking on the door apparently ! Would be seriously peed off if Howe got the job.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 For sure. IMO it will be someone who hasn't been mentioned a lot, like when MP took over. It's not the same though is it? When we replaced Adkins there wasn't much talk of him being replaced. He looked insecure at one point, then had seemingly steadied the ship. MPs appointment was a bit out of the blue, there wasn't much speculation. MP has left for another club, so there is a vacancy. People are bring interviewed, and there is more speculation now than when MP was appointed.
saintdavey Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Saints new manager is going to be announced next Tuesday so everyone can chill out over the next few days and enjoy the World Cup. I've also vote for A N Other in the poll!

Give it to Ron Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Am I being a bit too shortsighted in thinking that if it was Bruce or Mclaren then Hull or Derby would have publicly stated it as they would want to advertise the vacancy quickly? Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

BallBoy Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 The way I see it. Some things we know or think we know from credible sources. 1) Koeman wants to manage in the Premiership 2) He is available. 3) We are the top Premiership club looking for a manager. 4) He was one of the first to be interviewed. 5) He returned for a 2nd interview. 6) He is on holiday until until Sunday. 7) Les Read says the announcement is imminent with just paperwork to be done. Lots of details in contracts these days. Join the dots.

Bur there's no rush eh ? I believe there have been 10 transfers into PL clubs since the end of last season. Some of these are to the same clubs and so we are in the majority of teams who have yet to sign any players. Reed has stated that nobody else will be let go before we have a new manager. He has also stated that a new managerial appointment is imminent. He could be lying but why would he? I'm the same as anyone else and look every day for news. But I trust the club to go about things thoroughly and professionally as they have for the last five years, which haven't been too bad. The club is not going to rush things just to keep a few impatient forum dwellers happy. They, like me, have probably realised that some people here are happy only when seeing the worst possible motives and the worst possible outcomes.
angelman Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 If Pelle is going to Leicester or rather, they are sniffing around him, it sort of suggests that Koeman isn't coming.
Seany S Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Yep, have to agree with this. Our board are procrastinating the club into the Championship.

Every year we have improved, that on it's own makes a mockery of your opinion.

saint_ed Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Jesus, some of you really need to spend some time off this forum and go out in the sunshine. There's a whole world out there. We will have a new manager within a week so stop stressing. Two weeks is not a long time to finalise a new manager contract, let alone carry out the whole the interview process. Its not like we have a cup final this weekend so have a bit of patience. I'd far rather we take our time providing we get the right man to continue our success.
