How is that xenophobic?

We are Limeys. You have taffs, jocks, paddys, frogs, cloggys, yanks, argies,

 

Are you saying all Frogs are muslims? All one billion of them?

Would make the £20 I stuck on at 14-1 this morning very nice indeed!

[farawaysaint]

Do we have a manager yet?

[verlaine1979]

Checked in with a friend in Paris whose football hipster credentials are impeccable. Rates both Garcia and Puel, but prefers the latter, saying he has a knack for improving players.

That is what I did too . Down to 2/1 with Skybet now

[Fan The Flames]

Seriously dude, on what planet is this ok in 2016?

 

is frog any worse than sad old git.

[Wade Garrett]

Puel might bring Mendy with him to replace Victor.

Catching a plane to London isnt quite the same as becoming Saints manager. I'd prefer FdB or Garcia, or Pellegrini, or Moyes.

[DT]

Puel 8-1 on Betfair. Garcia favourite with them at 10/11

[Jai27]

Still 8/1 on Bet Victor...

 

What are we basing him signing on?

[beavis17]

Puel certainly turned Hatem Ben Arfa into a world-beater last season...

[Jai27]

And just like that it's dropped to 2/1

[yellow&blue]

Thevman could be right, only 2 years too soon.....

He could be the French version of @timdewit who was 1st with the Koeman to Everton news.

[Pamplemousse]

He turned down the Anderlecht job last week. Perhaps he already had a better offer on the table...

[shurlock]

If Puel joined, could see us going for Nampalys Mendy - Leicester have lined him as their Kanté replacement. Might help fill the imminent hole left by Wanyama (even if they're physically very different).

Even if that is true and if he has come to London to meet Saints, its still a leap to think that means he has the job. It could be for another round of interviews, if we still have multiple candidates. This is a job with a multi-million pound salary, the recruitment process will be very thorough.

[DT]

Could be a Puel summer, as the great Bananarama once predicted. ahem.

[Lallana's Left Peg]

how is it pronounced? Pool? Puel as in fuel? Pew-ell?

[The Cat]

How is his surname pronounced? We need to know for future forum pun based hilarity.

[The Cat]

I hope it's Poo-ell.

[DT]

I hope his back-room staff are his brother Puel, Barleymegrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb.

[doddisalegend]

Well I guess who ever it is better be ready to play the academy boys ..

[Suhari]

Makes sense to get a French manager.

 

Just a quick hop across the pond for them.

[do i not like fizzy pop]

Saw Neil Ashton 'wrote' it, didn't bother reading any further

[kwsaint]

Saints management seem to be going about this in a thorough way again. None of this going for big names or the chairman's mate. It will be interesting to watch how Mourinho gets on at Man U. Doesn't on the face of it seem a natural fit. Someone like MP would have fitted better.

 

I think that we will be pleasantly surprised who we get, whether it is Puel or Garcia or someone else

[DT]

what a terrible article, full of non sequiturs

[shurlock]

And yet if you take your blinkers off, it chimes with a lot of what the ITKers have been saying on here.

[Batman]

perfectly reasonable to think they fell out over the academy

 

it what what we sell ourselves on ffs

[Give it to Ron]

Also what Marcus vision was for the club and maybe what Katarina wants to happen to fulfill her fathers vision?

Marcus told a friend that.

Not a Trumpton fan then ? It's Barney McGrew.

I didn't, started reading it, then decided to see who had written while half way through, and then gave up.

[eddie]

This thread has taken exactly the turn I hoped.

Moved from just listing out of work ex premier league managers who wouldn't even turn on the saints fan whose only expectation is staying up from relegation (moyes) to suggesting little known, continental types with a knack for attacking football and tracked for years by the saints board to guarantee they are a good breed.

 

I'm excited.

[Batman]

Ashton is a nasty piece of work

He acts like he is above everything because of the job he has.

 

Samuel is another. They think they are the game at times

[angelman]

"They made it all about the money"??? Has the club actually mentioned anything? It was EFC who brought out the money thing not Saints.

[doddisalegend]

People can stop the daft talk of Erwin staying here as manager now.

That's not Erwin, the earlobes are the wrong shape.

That improves the joke no end

I struggled to follow this article.

 

The first part appears to be singularly nasty against the club. Standard Ashton fayre.

 

But he then takes an almighty swipe at Koeman and Everton.

 

I guess he was just on the blob yesterday...

Journalistically terrible.
