Window Cleaner Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 If the new manager selection has been finalised then I'd wager it doesn't get to Tuesday without being leaked.

St_Tel49 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. I just thought that this could not be re-posted enough!

Don't stick all your dosh on today though, wait till Monday then the Full Moon Factor (FMF) will have cleared.
trousers Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 (edited) 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! Cheers for the info. Has his name already been mentioned on this thread? Thanks Yes he has. So, I've been sad enough to trawl back through the thread and here's all the "a.n.others" mentioned thus far: Benitez Magath Francis Tuchel Sherwood Moyes De Boer Bruce Butcher Bergkamp Appleton Mancini Girard Zidane Adkins Howe Out of all those I'd go for Tuchel...

Appleton it is then
Saint86 Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 I've put bets on Tuchel, and FDB already, plus yakin and RK as a spread bet. I have to say, listening to what Les Read had to say about the managers past experience of playing and winning in europe it can only be two of those 4 (or An Other!) For me, its going to be FDB or RK. Bear in mind that FDB is on record as looking for a new long term challenge/project and wants to manage in the premier league. You can bet he is there or thereabouts, and I think the board will go for experience, pedigree and LOYALTY this time! FDB for me.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 I think it may just be De Boer you know...
Heisenberg Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 FDB would be too good to be true - will be another gamble/ unknown like Pooch I suspect

You can bet he is there or thereabouts, and I think the board will go for experience, pedigree and LOYALTY this time! FDB for me. Serious question : What is the great attraction of FDB ?* Won everything at Ajax but.... not the strongest league in europe. Does he have a better record of bringing youngsters through/style of play than Koeman ? *apart from the prospect of ****ing spurs fans off perhaps.
Nolan Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 i was randomly told this time last week that people had been spoken to but we were waiting until mid this week, because a big name might be coming available. It could've been completely coincidence that Mancini come out and said he was happy at galatasaray and then resigned two days later, but the timings right for me.
Miltonaggro Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 I think it may just be De Boer you know... And I think (and hope) you may be right Jeff...
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Serious question : What is the great attraction of FDB ?* Won everything at Ajax but.... not the strongest league in europe. Does he have a better record of bringing youngsters through/style of play than Koeman ? *apart from the prospect of ****ing spurs fans off perhaps. It would be a gamble, but one well worth taking imo. A well respected person in the game who played at the highest levels. Would certainly give any want away players pause for thought as to whether they should leave or not and would be a great name for attracting new talent too.
M271 Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 As with all his 'opinions' they're not based on anything external, just his own impatience, rage and frustrations. It would be funny but so many people think these way, form extreme opinions and get angry based on no information. It's a dangerous way of thinking. To him 'evidence' of procrastination is that his desired outcome hasn't happened yet. Not knowing anyone involved, not knowledge of contracts and football recruitment, not knowledge of agents, budgets, or anything. He'll enhance his rage and blindly think I and others are defending the board, being all positive. Yet in reality what I'm trying to defend is common sense, logic...and I'm losing. Anyone on this board for a few seasons will know he has made the same irrational statements on doom based on zero information for years. Every year he has been wrong, but it's irrelevant. His 'opinions' are worthless because being based on nothing you might as well flip a coin and get angry about the outcome of that. Then no doubt start a thread saying you never said 'heads' in the first place, and 'no-one in this place is allowed to challenge the tails brigade'. I think that Alps and some others on here are like Angry Frank from the Harry and Paul show, he also gets angry and wound up from zero, little and hypothetical information!!
buctootim Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Serious question : What is the great attraction of FDB ?* Won everything at Ajax but.... not the strongest league in europe. Does he have a better record of bringing youngsters through/style of play than Koeman ? *apart from the prospect of ****ing spurs fans off perhaps. Probably because he has an unblemished career so far. Thats not say it will continue that way, but its attractive on one level.

Don't suppose you happened to post this at the time, did you?
broncoboy 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. They maybe need to appoint someone to manage the media and communication with the fans This new manager better be worth waiting for Ralph Kruger came across as a real limp **** Les I am the only one has ever kicked a ball but not very well signed gaston and mad dog Osvaldo Strong words at the beginning would have calmed the troops and a weekly update would have shown some consideration If it is Steve Bruce expect pie sales to rocket but the rest off us will be underwhelmed

Nolan Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Don't suppose you happened to post this at the time, did you? Nope, thought nothing of it at the time. But connecting it with Dutch tweets last night (that say Southampton putting Koemans off, at places that aren't Google Translate) it does seem to fit. Not claiming to be in the know. Just posting rumours and speculation after watching too much CSI
Badger Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 It would be a gamble' date=' but one well worth taking imo.[b'] A well respected person in the game who played at the highest levels. Would certainly give any want away players pause for thought as to whether they should leave or not and would be a great name for attracting new talent too[/b]. True, but same can be said of Koeman. Either would be fine as far as I'm concerned though. Probably because he has an unblemished career so far. Thats not say it will continue that way, but its attractive on one level. But not particularly tested. In truth Tuchel's achievements look better, but he is not a name, to appease the squad, attract players perhaps.
saintalan Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 So you are ITK from a very good source, and you also vote for A N Other.....which means to me that it is going to be A N Other. Right, off to the bookies later to put a fiver on Zizou. The thread now sems to be basing the new guy as A N Other because somebody who allegedly now knows who it is voted at some time for A N Other as the one he wanted, with an exclamation mark!!
Bearsy Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 I think it may just be De Boer you know... If it is I will change my username to Boersy & my location will be Follow De Boer
buctootim Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 If it is I will change my username to Boersy & my location will be Follow De Boer Follow the Farmer? you're not a slurry afficionado are you Bearsy?
SuperSAINT Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 I imagine Ajax would've blabbed if we approached them for FdB.
Bearsy Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Follow the Farmer? you're not a slurry afficionado are you Bearsy? i had to google to find out what you meant! When i googled i also found article that we're apparently battling with a South African club for his signature? They described it as De Boer War
notnowcato Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 If it is I will change my username to Boersy & my location will be Follow De Boer I've just registered Frank De Boner
trousers Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 SaintDavey will we be happy or sad? He's used up his 3 posts for the day and is now on his way to Phuket (so to speak)
buctootim Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 (edited) They described it as De Boer War bit unfair, should be interesting as long as it doesnt go on too long. Edited 13 June, 2014 by buctootim
notnowcato Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 He's used up his 3 posts for the day and is now on his way to Phuket (so to speak) I'm sure he said he was off to Bangkok.
FloatingbridgeSaint Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 One of the eds at http://www.southamptonrumours.co.uk is suggesting that it is Steve Bruce. Scroll down to 12th June posts. Don't know if he is on a wind up or not but I for one would be seriously underwhelmed by this.
Bearsy Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 i would like de boer most, de boer would feel like upgrade on ponch. Koemans sounds ok too. Tuchel i never heard of before but he might be as good as ponch, him or yakin would feel like sideways move. Bruce would be like coming downstairs on Christmas morning & finding ur mum has bought you tennis lessons (tru story)
darren2 Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Steve Bruce was in the papers yesterday. I would be GUTTED if true
Batman Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 I rate Bruce. But for saints right now after all the guff from Kruger. Would be very much a let down No chance would that sway some players to stay
Bearsy Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Steve Bruce was in the papers yesterday. I would be GUTTED if true Les Reed's post appointment interview would be a touch awkward. "As I revealed previously we had worldwide interest in this position. Some of the best up and coming manager's in world football were desperate for the job! Manager's who have won titles and cups. Manager's who have coached teams at the highest levels of Champions League. International manager's who have coached at the World Cup. But we ignored all that and appointed Steve Bruce."
M271 Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 I remember Bruce being over the top, gushing praise for us as a Club and team last season during his pre and post match interviews for both matches. Of course we beat them twice.
brett24 Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Also some guy yesterday said De Boer would be announced on Tuesday! Same day!
Matthew Le God Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Bruce would be like coming downstairs on Christmas morning & finding ur mum has bought you tennis lessons (tru story) Perhaps she thought you could be the next Andy Murray...
Convict Colony Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 I'm sure he said he was off to Bangkok. Nah phuket, having lived in Singers myself he will be on a 7pm flight on jet airways or something similar as its packed every friday and then get **** faced and see loads of pro's and trannies so a bit like visiting portsmouth
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Bruce certainly isn't a bad manager and a likeable bloke, but it would be a let down I agree (on a name basis).
Saint Charlie Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Bruce certainly isn't a bad manager and a likeable bloke, but it would be a let down I agree (on a name basis). Also the football Hull played hasn't exactly been part of some kind of philosophy as was the case with say Martinez, who, even if his Wigan team struggled, you could see what he stood for. Bruce would be an awful appointment IMO.
EBS1980 Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Going by Les Reed's recent interview, he said they were taking things like International,Champions League, Europa League and League Titles into consideration. Bruce fails on all those so would be surprised if we would then appoint someone who only has championship and premiership experience.
DT Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 If Steve Bruce was appointed my whelm would be so far under it would be difficult to hear it
SaintRichmond Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 I'm sure he said he was off to Bangkok. Or was it off to Find Kok ??
notnowcato Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Nah phuket, having lived in Singers myself he will be on a 7pm flight on jet airways or something similar as its packed every friday and then get **** faced and see loads of pro's and trannies so a bit like visiting portsmouth Bloody spell check.... Bang C*ck, he's off to bang c*ck all weekend.
