We do not need a bit of a risk at this stage of proceedings. Esp if that risk has 5 mins of managerial career under his belt. Happy with his analysis on sky but it stops there

 

to be fair any appointment that we are likely to make is going to be a risk, no? the records of the poch and roko werent the greatest prior to thier appointment at saints.

Are we just mentioning any old manager? How about Miodrag Božović?

 

Not necessarily a manager I'd want but his name came to me whilst watching the Euros this evening. I seem to recall him being highly rated before moving to Celtic

Whatever one thinks of Koeman's ethics (the snake), I can't help but feel as though the club has been stiffed again and all the ST holders who have shelled out have been stiffed again too. What other entertainment industry sells it's product as one thing, then changes the design of product substantially after you've paid?

 

It's like buying a pair of black footie boots in Toomers - you hand over your money, they get wrapped up and when you get home you find out they've given you pink ones, so you go back to complain and they say "what's the problem, they fit the same and do the same job right?". Perhaps I'm getting too old for this lark...

With absolutely no grounding in fact or reason I am going to stump for Yogi Loew.

 

I mentioned him earlier and if nothing else it'll be worth it for what will Loew scratch and sniff next?:lol:

I do hope Uncle Les is about to pull a rabbit out of his hat, because I am not too impressed by the quality and quantity of names being bandied about...

 

I'm surprised, I thought you'd be expecting a Steve Wigley level manager like you did last time.

The inference being that you purchased the ticket to watch Ronald Koeman and that had you known we would have another manager, you wouldn't have renewed?

 

It's more like buying a pair of said footie boots and complaining when they don't enable you to play well.

Just to see the meltdown on here, particularly from certain posters, I'd like a Steve Wigley type appointment

I struggle to think of a worse analogy.

 

Toomers never stocked pink football boots for a start.

I renewed because I support Southampton. Silly me.

 

I renewed as I heard Koeman wrote you a thank you email if you did. Lovely touch boys

That would be Dave Watson being named manager I guess, which I don't think would be too bad. Not for us right now maybe but he'll make a good manager if his input into set pieces and team talks is true.

Somebody will be along with a variant of the "if this was a supermarket/restaurant/the theatre" routine in a minute.

Its a bit like.... buying tickets for a pantomime because you want to see Bobby Davro in the lead role, only to find he's been replaced by Les Dennis. I'd be gutted, that's for sure.

Clearly the car analogy is most appropriate here.

It's like ordering a Ford Focus with 1.8t zetec petrol engine and getting all excited, but when it turns up its a 1.8 diesel.

You say hang on a minute I wanted the petrol engine because of its performance characteristics, but they respond by saying the diesel provides better fuel economy and is the smarter choice overall.

You stare at them blankly for a while before losing interest and wandering over to a Manchester garage to admire the Ferraris and Porches.

De Boer today? Would be suitable rubbing of Everton noses in it.

Les is nothing more than a bumbling figure of fun. Every time I see him on screen I question how he has got away with that act for so long. A total joke and I'm not laughing.

 

I quite like Les Dennis though.

How many times has Les Reed told us that the club havte in place replacements lined up for every eventuality. Well if that were the case how is it taking so long to announce Koeman's replacement when Reed's know for nearly a month now Koeman was off to Everton.

Reed is all twaddle and bull ****e.

you tell 'em.

we should have a stack of managers on retainers for this eventuality, the fact that we don't is laughable.

Anyone else changed their minds on our new manager after a few weeks?

 

My first choice is Pellegrini, although I accept this is unlikely. Second choice De Boer, wanting to build something, he could be a good long term appointment.

 

The one I have changed my mind on is Moyes. I have read some very compelling arguments online, and would now think him a decent appointment. Top 10 league placing, would be loyal, and likes to bring youngsters through. Surprising really, a week or so ago I had a completely different opinion.

Koeman was confirmed as gone 24 hours ago. Light up a cigarette and calm the faaark down.

Mixed on Moyes. Of course there'll be those who say he would be a sign of a lack of ambition. Never mind that he left a small club a few years ago to manage the biggest club in your country. That strikes me as ambitious.

Yep, I wanted RdB to start with now I want AvB, anyone I can abbreviate would be good.

Lol - just because we have a list of potentials doesn't mean that they are available at the drop of a hat. I'm not expecting anything concrete for a couple of weeks.

I know ART is supposed to be mad but has anyone really considered that he's just a troll?

I know someone who knows him so I'm certain he isn't a troll. He's an elderly bloke who lives in France and posts weird things online (occasionally gay porn.)

There is no rush really, not many transfer will happen until after the Euros has finished, and the players aren't due back for another two weeks or so.

There's nothing wrong with that in and of itself though. Certainly none of my business.

Ryan Giggs @ 25/1

Originally I said no but now just had a tenner on him

 

So putting a tenner on at 25/1 will give you a rough profit of around £0.00

It was with Skybet by any chance was it as their price for him just dropped to 20/1.

Odds on vitor pereira have dropped to 6-1. I think he would be a good appointment. Emery would have been my first choice but looks as if he's off to PSG. Failing both of these I would take de boer. Failing that I would take Pellegrini.

 

Howe might be one for the future but won't be able to attract the signings we need or have the credibility to prevent the players being unsettled and wanting to leave
