Saint-Armstrong Posted 12 June, 2014 Share Posted 12 June, 2014 Oh for ****'s sake, is this just because there's no new manager yet? It hasn't served Alan Pardew or Mauricio Pochettino too badly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 12 June, 2014 Share Posted 12 June, 2014 Considering how our last three managers came out of their spells with us in a far stronger position then when they entered. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted 12 June, 2014 Share Posted 12 June, 2014 I would say the opposite, very attractive job and probably a lot of good applicants that is making it difficult to select. Like Saint Armstrong says, it hasn't done AP or MP bad and even raised Nigels profile. One thing for sure though, when the appointments made there will be a lot of bedwetters predicting doom and gloom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan The Flames Posted 12 June, 2014 Share Posted 12 June, 2014 No. The club are delaying the announcement of the new manager until the WC starts, it's a strategy that seems jolly sensible to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakkoUK Posted 12 June, 2014 Share Posted 12 June, 2014 Just be patient Jesus Christ, it's not much to ask. I think you should also look into what a 'poison chalice' is, as you are using it in the wrong context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Warrior Posted 12 June, 2014 Share Posted 12 June, 2014 I was wondering re the thread title threas If Ted Bates was still around , would he have gone to another club if offered another managerial position or would he have genuinely stayed with saints One thing is for sure they dont make many managers Like Ted Bates anymore A gentleman and a scholar. who I had the pleasure to meet on a number of occasions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 12 June, 2014 Share Posted 12 June, 2014 It's a fantastic job for whoever takes it. If the players leave then he can claim there was nothing he could do to stop them but he'll get the cash to spend on building his own team, if they stay he'll be thought of as the man eh kept our big names. It's arguably the best time ever to take the saints job. A fan base whose ambitions have been tempered after the pipe dreams and lies of the previous CEO and not the intense pressure of unrealistic targets that said CEO claimed. a progressive club with a fantastic board behind him and the chance of a clean slate to build his own team with a potentially huge budget. You have to ask who would be stupid enough not to want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 12 June, 2014 Share Posted 12 June, 2014 Spurs are the poison chalice club, as Pochettino is going to find out by Christmas if they aren't in the top four. We are one of the best club prospects for a manager in the Premier League. Ridiculous of the OP to even think along these lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I'll probably do a terrible job and I'm not sure I'd be a big name that some of the fans want but I'd be well chuffed to be saints manager. Plus when I inevitably get sacked I'll be quids in...................unless I turn out to be really good in which case I'll **** of to spurs first chance I get:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1ex2001 Posted 12 June, 2014 Share Posted 12 June, 2014 Who was the last manager to leave spurs and go onto bigger things? I seriously can't think of anyone who didn't leave with a reputation in tatters! On the other hand I can list plenty who have led saints with their stock high in recent years, so no we are not a poison chalice we are a great opportunity for anyone interested which is why the board will have had alot of applicants to sift throught!

70's Mike Posted 13 June, 2014 Share Posted 13 June, 2014 other than Man U, Arse and Everton think our record on managers is similar to many others, however I also believe that whoever takes the job could be on a hiding to nothing from the fans as they have a tough act/season to be compared with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 16 June, 2014 Share Posted 16 June, 2014 (edited) As it seems no one wants, or finds the job/package attractive enough to take a punt.. Thoughts... No more than any other club. An interview, a month or so back, cited that the average lifespan of a Prem. manager was only .......13 months. ** Impatient Chairmen everywhere. but for Saints ...since 2009-10 Alan Pardew (14 months) (sacked for some sort of "disciplinary reason) ", Nigel Adkins (27 months) then sacked. (difficult to argue) as I thought he'd lost the Prem. League plot somewhere before Christmas. Mauricio Pochettino (16 months) .....then quit after seeing pastures new - and a bigger stadium. Looking at the recent history of some other current Prem. clubs... we're a bit above the average. However, perhaps rather more of a " Golden Fleece " than a poison chalice, I think. Because it's interesting to note that all three " fell on their feet " so to speak, as all found new employers quite quickly. Alan Pardew is currently only part way into an 8 year contract at Newcastle. Reading will certainly continue to support NA, who only missed a play-off spot on goal difference. As for Senor Pochettino.....I await with baited breath to see how much of his 5 year contract he'll serve before Mr. Levy tires of him..

Someone who doesn't know what is meant by 'poison chalice', reacts to the virtually 100% of responses telling him to Grip Up by calling THEM 'bedwetters'. It can't be half term already, can it?
