angelman Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 If you are French, probably. Nope, they don't mind at all. Having lived there for a number of years, if you call them a Frog they don't get upset but just call you a "rosbif"
Batman Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 Nope, they don't mind at all. Having lived there for a number of years, if you call them a Frog they don't get upset but just call you a "rosbif" just soggy getting all offended on other peoples behalf again.
Webby Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 Hey, I posted a tweet I saw that's all. Sorry, should've made that clear. It's not my info.
Bewildered Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 He did his bit, especially good vs the better teams even if he did have a bad habit of being complacent and lacking concentration against weaker sides. Thing is 11m is probably the sort of money we will pay to replace him, but with his contract situation it was going to be difficult to get much more than that.

EBS1980 Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 Simon Peach just tweeted saying Garica appointment highly unlikely now "I'm told Rudi Garcia is highly unlikely to become the next #SaintsFC manager. Club spoke to him but looking elsewhere for Koeman replacement" "#SaintsFC looking at & speaking to a few candidates - names seem to vary from well-known managers to promising ones"
Toadhall Saint Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 Simon Peach just tweeted saying Garica appointment highly unlikely now Any reason given?
Toadhall Saint Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 Any reason given? Sorry just seen the above.

Club spoke to him but looking elsewhere for Koeman replacement" "#SaintsFC looking at & speaking to a few candidates - names seem to vary from well-known managers to promising ones" Disappointing. I'd fallen in love with over the last six days. As long as we don't appoint La Liga relegation boy I'm comfortable the club won't coc k this up.
Convict Colony Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 Adam Blackmore @bigadamsport 17s hope not many people put money on Rudi Garcia to be next #saintsfc boss - I don't believe he's in the running
Batman Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 Adam Blackmore @bigadamsport 17s hope not many people put money on Rudi Garcia to be next #saintsfc boss - I don't believe he's in the running wasnt he saying something of the opposite yesterday?

CB Fry Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 wasnt he saying something of the opposite yesterday? Nah, he said he was a good manager and if the bookies are right then we'd have done well. Not any actual info.
Batman Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 Nah, he said he was a good manager and if the bookies are right then we'd have done well. Not any actual info. I hope it is this frog Puel and not some remi garde type, ffs
CB Fry Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 I hope it is this frog Puel and not some remi garde type, ffs Just dreading us appointing a "look at us, aren't we clever" left field appointment. Actual, measurable success and relevant experience please. Please.

Any names I have missed or can be removed from the list?
Strangely Brown Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 Just dreading us appointing a "look at us, aren't we clever" left field appointment. Actual, measurable success and relevant experience please. Please. I agree totally, I feel a meltdown coming on..
Batman Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 Just dreading us appointing a "look at us, aren't we clever" left field appointment. Actual, measurable success and relevant experience please. Please. Then spin it that he was always our first choice (with ambitions of champions league thrown in to please the masses)
saint77 Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 Then spin it that he was always our first choice (with ambitions of champions league thrown in to please the masses) Calm down boy nobody's been appointed yet let's wait and see before coming up with your usual crap
DT Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 Surely De Boer does all the right 'up yours' gestures to Koeman, his agent, Everton and also means we might stand a chance of keeping vid? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Dark Munster Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 where the hell has Deschamps come from? Left field?
Dr. Kucho Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 So just to confirm, the ITKs and well informed journalists are certain we have spoken or are intrested in: - Claude Puel - Didier Deschamps - Vitor Perreira - Frank de Boer Rudi Garcia has dropped out we understand. Any names I have missed or can be removed from the list? Just to quote myself, I dont know where DD came from, thought I read that we were talking to 3 French managers (or their agents), and someone confirmed one of them was Deschamps. New list then: - Claude Puel - Vitor Perreira - Frank de Boer
Convict Colony Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 Deschamps is ****, payet is keeping him in a job at the moment, him and wilmots are vying for the worst coach of the tournament so far.
Pamplemousse Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 A question for the ITKs. Did we rule out Garcia after having spoken to him or did he say no to us?
Convict Colony Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 A question for the ITKs. Did we rule out Garcia after having spoken to him or did he say no to us? Yes Skacel put us off signing another Rudi
Badger Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 A question for the ITKs. Did we rule out Garcia after having spoken to him or did he say no to us? Why would he rule himself out ? Seems odd. Doesn't he want to manage Arsenal in two years time or somrthing?.
hypochondriac Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 If you are French, probably. They call us roast beef. Why would any frenchman be offended by the word frog?
Pamplemousse Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 The word frog means nothing to them anyway. Call them a grenouille (gren-noo-ee) and I doubt they would care too much. Just tell them their food is ****, that'll offend them.
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 where the hell has Deschamps come from? He's French I think...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 We've got too many posters too far up their own backsides . Sorry but I'm not trendy , don't play Football manager , or know the manager of Nantes who moved to Malaga in 2014 with a 47% win record , but played the nippers . I don't want to sound like an old dinosaur but had this happened last season and someone suggested Ramieri all the Euro hipsters would have wet themselves laughing . Ryan Giggs - not good enough , not foreign enough , ditto David Moyes & Stebe Bruce . Wjat worked before ain't necessarily going to work again . Giggs will have the respect of the players , has played at the highest level , learnt his trade under one of the greatest managers who ever lived , but is not good enough for us . I don't know if he's worth a go , that's what les reed is paid to decide . Les will be talking to contacts , tapping into sir Alex's knowledge and if he goes with Giggs, that's good enough for me . I just hope his not trying to replicate the sucsess we had with Poch & Ron by appointing by formula . As Leicester showed sometimes thinking out of the box is the best option

As Leicester showed sometimes thinking out of the box is the best option Don't worry Lord D, the EU campaign will warm back up over the weekend. We're not talking to Ryan Giggs, there's no way it will be Ryan Giggs. Not sure what this forum has got to do with that. And Ryan Giggs wouldn't be "thinking out of the box" it would be a virtual cliché of an appointment swooned over by Talksport and the tabloids.

As Leicester showed sometimes thinking out of the box is the best option You have indeed hit the nail on the head with this post. You have put out a reasoned response to the hype, and you have pointed out one of football's most irritating groups of supporters, the click-bait fan. Shame I will never agree with your views on the EU. From a swivel eyed loon!

As Leicester showed sometimes thinking out of the box is the best option The views on Moyes & Bruce is nothing to do with being considered boring and unexciting because they're not continental coaches. More that they are pretty average at best. Giggs wouldn't have the "respect" of the dressing room . If you want a "formula" to avoid, selecting a manager on the strength of having played for a 'great' is one to steer clear of. Not many who played under Revie, or Clough at Forest have succeeded. For every Martin O'Neill theres a whole list of journeymen managers who never quite made it.
SO16_Saint Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 so were 60 pages and 2993 posts in, and no further forward on who the next manager is. Excellent.
nta786 Posted 17 June, 2016 Posted 17 June, 2016 so were 60 pages and 2993 posts in, and no further forward on who the next manager is. Excellent. How our club operates. As for Giggs, has he ever apologised to his brother?

Not that I want him but that's my opinion.

Not on here it wouldn't . The metro sexual football manager playing hipsters need a Monsieur who managed Montpellier before taking charge of Perpinan and leading that team of youngsters to 6th . Unfortunately he was sacked by Young boys of Berne , but Poch was sacked , so that's a good thing .

I want a manager who has experience in a big team and progessive in Europe as that is what we are now, if he's managed in spain, France or England doesn't matter.

Not that I want him but that's my opinion. I remember reading an article about Moyes in which his approach to scouting was the main hook . Evidently he had a room at Everton that only the coaches and scouts used . It that room were walls ( obviously ) but on those walls were the side he had now , and then players in every position that could replace those players in the short , med and long term . It was like a hard version of the black box . It was reckoned that this room co-ordinated every move months and years in advance . I'm not saying I want Moyes , but he's not some sort of Arry Redknapp " go out and play son " sort of manager

I want a manager who has experience in a big team and progessive in Europe as that is what we are now, if he's managed in spain, France or England doesn't matter. So they have to have managed a " big team " then ? Aberdeen , is that a big team . What about Huddersfield ? This Europe stuff is nonsense , Woy had managed all over Europe & managed big clubs , do you want him?
