SuperSAINT Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 Given that he's just about to take over Bayern Munich, that's not going to happen. Not that it would anyway. Who's your top 3, Clarkey? (Hypothetically)
southbourne saint Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 David Moyes would do a good job and probably stay a while and introduce some academy players.
Saint Charlie Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 I'd go for Howe. Think he deserves a chance and he'd do well. Would take ages trying to get him out of Bournemouth if he was even keen. Worth noting our last two Managers have been out of work. Flores would be one option but keeping Koeman would be optimal.
Badger Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 Someone who cares about Saints. Fed up getting managers in who use us to reach the next level. Adkins,and we sacked him. Although in truth he didn't ever last long enough to receive a testing approach from a rival. I'd go for Howe. Think he deserves a chance and he'd do well. Howe would be the obvious contender, but then we don't go for the obvious candidate.

Saint Charlie Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 David Moyes would do a good job and probably stay a while and introduce some academy players. **** no. Would be awful after Koeman and Pochettino.
S-Clarke Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 Who's your top 3, Clarkey? (Hypothetically) Paco Jamez @ Rayo is very talented. Villas-Boas wasn't given a fair crack in this country, I like him. The former Chile manager whose name escapes me... Frank De Boer, Thomas Tuchel (unlikely though!)
SuperSAINT Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 Paco Jamez @ Rayo is very talented. Villas-Boas wasn't given a fair crack in this country, I like him. The former Chile manager whose name escapes me... Frank De Boer, Thomas Tuchel (unlikely though!) - Frank De Boer will be early favourite for sure. - Jorge Sampaoli is the Chile fella. Plays in a very "poch-esque" style. - Funny you mentioned AVB... Had a hunch when I saw his name listed that he might be a target. (I *think* he's out of contract in the summer too). I'm interested in this rumoured "New direction" that Guan eluded too. I wondered if that included a potential coach change.
david in sweden Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 I expect £5 million salary is the media's figure.....but we've got the TV money in the piupeline....whatever Koeman is offered - match it for goodness sake Les....... we don't want to go through that new manager routine......yet again.
CB Fry Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 Someone who cares about Saints. Fed up getting managers in who use us to reach the next level. Like Alan Ball?
DT Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 We clearly need to employ managers who are not quite as good as Ron and Mauricio, as we're obviously a 'difficult second album' kind of club. That is, we haven't the cash to make that step up, nor will ever likely have. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
shurlock Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 Gary Monk signed for Leeds Thank ****! Gary Megson is still available.
Dan Johnson Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 Shame that Rafa has just signed a 3 year deal at Newcastle
angelman Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 Shame that Rafa has just signed a 3 year deal at Newcastle I agree with this. But all's fair in love and war.
Saint86 Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 100% Unai Emery I'd love to keep Ron. But if I were an Everton fan I'd rather have Emery. De Boar would be decent but I think we are the perfect club for Emery. If it comes to it, we need to get him in on a 4-5 year contract. ABSOLUTLEY 100% THIS.
Saint Billy Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 we don't want to go through that new manager routine......yet again. Has worked for us the last couple of times.
SNSUN Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 Shame that Rafa has just signed a 3 year deal at Newcastle Ive heard he has a release clause for teams in Europe. (I am ITK) (I am definitely not ITK) New manager will be Kelvin Davis. (It won't but my ridiculous answer shows how premature this all is.)
CityRanger Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 When Poch left the media were convinced Malky Mackay would be our man. Talk sport tonight reckoned Ryan Giggs would be a good fit for us now
badgerx16 Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 Talk sport tonight reckoned Ryan Giggs would be a good fit for us now How on earth do they kepp getting away with the cr@p they spout ?
Red Alert Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 Thank God Brenda Rodgers found a job. Gary Nevile could well be our next man.
Saint Charlie Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 Some woeful names mentioned so far. Pochettino, Koeman, the next one needs to be as good as the other two.
Whitey Grandad Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 To be fair without being crazy I wouldn't be destroyed if we got Gary Neville. I followed his games every week at Valencia and the lack of luck he had was incredible. I think he is a progressive manager and would do a very very good job for us, he likes teams to play like us and during his time in spain his strikers made Pelle look like Suraez. F8ck it I've said it, I would take Gary Neville, there is a lot to like about how he conducted himself and what he was trying to achieve in Valencia. The biggest problem was the language, Jorge Medes overpaying for rubbish clients of his and injuries destroying his team most weeks. Language would be a big problem. I don't think many of our players would understand him.
John Cool Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 Is Glenn Hoddle still available or has he been reincarnated as a bacterium?
CB Fry Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 If he hadn't taken the Celtic job I would have been supportive of Brendan Rodgers. Absolutely genuinely. Would have been a good fit, would have got on great with Uncle Les. Whoever we get will be a decent name with decent calibre. Or Eddie Howe.
mrfahaji Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 I would be underwhelmed and a little nervous about Villas-Boas. I don't think he was as bad as some people make out, but equally didn't do anything particularly impressive. I want someone who can excite the players, as surely they will be downcast if this happens. Obviously I wouldn't sacrifice a good manager for a big name, but it doesn't feel dissimilar to when Poch left. I like Eddie Howe and would see it as a good appointment if he came, but I would be unsure how well received such an appointment would have on the current players and any potential new signings.
angelman Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 Is Glenn Hoddle still available or has he been reincarnated as a bacterium? NO, he morphed into a shît and has stayed like that for the past few years.
SuperSAINT Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 BREAKING: Sky Sources - Ryan Giggs expected to leave Manchester United this summer due to his strong desire to become a manager #SSNHQ

Saint IQ Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 (edited) Looking at the Everton shortlist (minus Ronald) to see who (in theory) we might get linked with: - Unai Emery - Manuel Pellegrini - Frank De Boer - David Moyes - Roberto Mancini - Paulo Fonseca - Ryan Giggs - Diego Simeone - Quique Sanchez Flores - Andre Villas-Boas - Martin O'Neill - Quique Setien - Mark Hughes - Lucien Favre - David Unsworth - Steve Bruce - Carlos Carvalhal - Didier Deschamps - Jorge Sampaoli - Louis Van Gaal - Eddie Howe - Avram Grant - Jurgen Klinsmann - Gary Rowett - Joachim Loew - Marcelo Bielsa - Sean Dyche - Steve Evans - Gary Neville - Phil Neville - Mark Warburton - Tim Sherwood - Laurent Blanc Those are the ones I'd take, Gary Rowett has potential IMO but too early for him No chance with Diego Simeone though and little chance with Emery/Loew Edited 2 June, 2016 by Saint IQ
BlakeySFC Posted 2 June, 2016 Posted 2 June, 2016 Moyes, Pellegrini (he managed Villarreal who are a similar-sized club to Saints I'd say) and De Boer would be the favourites for me if/when Koeman does go.
Pilchards Posted 3 June, 2016 Posted 3 June, 2016 The criteria will be someone who will bring young players through, plays good attractive football and will make the current players even better. on top of that they will commit to a 6 year deal as they are a home boy. Eddie Howe ticks every box to work alongside Lee and Watson.
angelman Posted 3 June, 2016 Posted 3 June, 2016 I can see the bookies favourites being FdB, Howe and QS Flores.
Mr Saints Posted 3 June, 2016 Posted 3 June, 2016 Someone that won't **** off at the first opportunity after a year or two would be nice. Eddie Howe would be my choice.
Professor Posted 3 June, 2016 Posted 3 June, 2016 Premature discussion, no vacancy, although whether Koeman goes now or in a few years time, he will go at some point. When that time comes, sooner or later, it would be good to have a British manager.
doddisalegend Posted 3 June, 2016 Posted 3 June, 2016 Not Howe Bournemouth is a good fit for him we are to big a club for him right now imo. De Boer seems a good fit to me. European experience, successful in his last job, worked with a youth system at Ajax and having worked in the Netherlands used to having his best players nicked by richer clubs.....

European experience, successful in his last job, worked with a youth system at Ajax and having worked in the Netherlands used to having his best players nicked by richer clubs..... I think this. I am expecting a manager who knows exactly how to navigate a Europa campaign. We've quickly become too good for Howe right now.
angelman Posted 3 June, 2016 Posted 3 June, 2016 What about Flores? Managed some good sides - Valencia, Benfica, Atletico - did well enough with Watford to keep them up.
Saint Charlie Posted 3 June, 2016 Posted 3 June, 2016 What about Flores? Managed some good sides - Valencia, Benfica, Atletico - did well enough with Watford to keep them up. Also is available, no compensation to pay or talks with Clubs. We were linked with him just after the end of the season in Spanish media.
