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

 

Exactly. Art is a one off, a bit left field maybe but forums need people like him more than cloned opinions.

Alan Brazil's co-host threw tim Sherwood in this morning. Interview with Kevin Phillips offered no insight. No mention of fans at all.

Apols if I've missed chat on this already, but a couple of bits doing the rounds on social channel (pinch of salt obviously) linking Valverde from Bilbao today.

 

To me, this would be quite an exciting appointment, he's done a good job there and has good experience elsewhere - what are people's thoughts on him?

It never ceases to amaze me how the media just don't get us. BTW the co-host was Ray Wilkins. It's not just the media. A Liverpool supporting colleague this morning asked me what I thought about Koeman and his departure and was quite surprised when I said I wasn't bothered by it. I pointed out we'd lost a lot better manager in Pochettino and kicked on from there and improved in successive seasons under Koeman and would continue to do so under whoever was appointed. He asked me who I wanted as manager and was surprised when I said I didn't really care as the club would have a succession plan in place as we did two years ago.

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

 

ART has been around for years, he was a frequent poster on the old Saints Forever site.. Wacky yes, troll no !

That's just about how I feel about it.

Someone asked Guillem Ballague about Valverde on twitter today and he said "no chance he's staying at Athletic".

 

Was it "No chance. He's staying at Athletic" or "No chance he's staying at Athletic"?

Without wishing to sound pedantic, that reads as thought there is no chance of him staying at Athletic. Presumably you mean "No chance. He's staying at Athletic"?!

He's regularly wrong so him saying that makes me feel more confident of him coming.

I'd like to know what difference "officially gone" makes.

 

As soon as Koeman asked to talk to Everton / Everton asked to talk to Koeman, I would have expected Uncle Les's phone to be glowing red-hot with outgoing activity based on his back-up list.

I imagine it was, he is after all a professional. Despite what you want to think I don't he was sat there playing Angry Birds on his phone.

At a guess it means that nothing can be sorted ie the necessary paperwork hasn't been signed?

If you cast your mind back to 2014, Koeman was the head-and-shoulders favourite and the fan's choice virtually from day 1. By comparison, there isn't a clear frontrunner this time. Despite having a stronger squad, the job comes with expectations that didn't exist in 2014. Wouldn't be surprised if the recruitment process drags on. Its arguably the most difficult appointment yet.

Seems some are championing La Liga managers because they want another Poch.

 

For every Poch there has been 5 Pepe Mel's or Juande Ramos'.

 

 

Has there been anything confirmed yet ref Emery going to PSG or any new on Yakin resigning ???

 

Got a feeling one of those two

Emery is currently in Qatar, meeting with PSG's oil-rich owners. So I imagine that one will be done and dusted soon.

I wouldn't be surprised if Blanc is dragging his feet a bit, getting as much compo as he can get. He's been royally stitched up there.

 

Stitched up? Perhaps but not winning CL games is definitely an occupational hazard with his current employers. They are only interested in 1 thing, a CL final place.

But Pepe Mel and Juande Ramos were successful in getting their team's into Europe whereas Pochettino had just taken Espanyol to last place when we got him. What does that tell you about other clubs' recruitment strategies compared to ours ?

A thought about Pellegrini. Technically, he is still Man City's manager until 30th June. I don't know if that would pose any problems or if Man City would demand compensation or refuse us permission to speak to him.

At about 1pm I saw a black Mercedes S Class P7 SFC (is this a club car?) at Southampton airport, probably Katherina flying in.

After last season they'll have to update that license plate to P6 SFC

Arsene Wenger 66/1 with Bet Victor. Chambers is clearly only coming because Wenger will be our new boss... :spaz:

 

....while PaddyPower has Koeman 6-1 for the Arsenal job!

So much for bookies

In 2014.

 

I expect the car was there to pick up Ivan Golac before he is announced as the new manager. Wishful thinking. Happy Birthday Ivan, a true Saints legend.

One of the best goals ever, and certainly one of the best I ever saw live (from behind the goal):

Rudi Garcia odds been slashed from 40/1 in to 4/1 with a few bookies. Might just be someone lumping some £ on him. Anyone heard anything or know much about him?

 

11/4 on now

Did well with Lille then Roma

Roma sacked him after a poor run of games mid winter which seemed harsh on my superficial knowledge

 

Sounds promising- attacking minded.
