For a club that apparently has ambition, how on Earth would Giggs, Howe, or even Martinez be the next step forward ?

It won't be any of them. It will be someone with European experience.

 

It will be a highly sought after job and we'll get someone of genuine quality but not ridiculously expensive - De Boer and AVB seem almost perfect profile (basically the kind of people you'd expect, say, Everton to go for). Or some other European egg-head manager I haven't heard of, like our old friend Pochettino.

I think it's disgraceful Everton are luring our manager away while he's still contracted. Anyway, if he leaves, I think we should consider going after Eddie Howe.

Zing.

roy keane at 33/1???

 

If that happens I will stop supporting the saints and defect to pompey until he leaves.

Steady on, that's rather drastic. Anyway, it could be worse. See post 272 above.

Lol if we get Emery that would make a few Everton fans sick.

 

Think he's kinda out of our reach though, maybe?

 

And we mock Everton for mentioning Simeone? I thought he was going to PSG

Please don't quote the bookies as they have no idea.

It's really two ways how we go forward if Koeman leaves.

 

(1) Experience european manager who ****s off in one or two years time.

(2) A local manager who will show loyal and stay with Saints unless the England job comes up, Eddie Howe.

Eddie Howe is such a poor option imo,and people suggesting that really do show a bit of small club mentality.

We are top 6 & group stage Europa,not many managers in the prem stay more than a few seasons with a team RK is the 6th longest serving manager currently in the prem.

We should be looking at some of Europes best managers and they should be cueing up to join us we are a really attractive option to manage

We need a manager that is good enough to get us in the top 6 but not good enough to be head hunted by other clubs.

We definitely need a manager good enough to be head hunted. If our next boss takes to two more top seven finishes and a Europa final (McClaren and Roy have done it, so why not us) and he then ends up as the next Arsenal manager, fine. He's earned it and we've been brilliant.

 

If we're struggling next year, "at least our manager won't be head hunted" is not a comforting thought.

Basically that's every manager bar Howe.

Howe did the big manager chase when he went to Burnley from Bournemouth.

He became homesick and realized he had made a big mistake.

 

Any other manager is either going to be **** and sacked or good and stolen again.

Heard on the grapevine that Micky Quinn is our top target.Odd as he has never managed anyone else, but in the board I trust.

I would imagine that any Bournemouth Fan reading this would think that some Saints fans are right up their own @rses. Never mind that there is no shred of evidence that the quoted foreign managers would be successful in the premier league while the derided Eddie Howe has a proven track record of improving the players in his charge. Given our dispensation to recruit relative unknowns and wish to use Academy players one would imagine that Howe was well qualified. Mind you Leicester had a small club mentality recruiting a proven failure as a manager in the Premier league and look what happened to them, You are right we should heed the warning.

Simeone to PSG last I read, Emery and their director of football in, Europa league in the bag.

We need a manager who thinks he can do better than us - thatbwaybtheybare focused on being as successful as possible - the thing you don't want is an aging manager wanting a last pay day or someone who is genuinely only good enough for mid-lower table

Crazy as this might sound I think it might be worth putting a tenner on Gary Neville who is not even quoted here (does that mean he's 100/1 ?).

 

The Valencia job was always a poisoned chalice and quite a few reports coming out of Spain indicated that he was doing a lot better job than results indicated. Lot of respected figures in the game really rate him and, after Valencia, he needs to rebuild his reputation (bit like Ranieri did after the Greece debacle) if he wants to be taken seriously in the management game.

Had a look for some footage and found this, from last week. Speaks about his plans at 1:03 in the video below.

 

Sounds like he could be open to it, if it tempts him? (IMO)

BetVictor first to open the betting market on the next Saints boss, for anyone interested... (not suggesting they know anything, just that these are the odds/names they're throwing about)

Had a scan around their website just now and couldn't find anything? Kept getting dead end links that gave me Jose Mourinho specials...?

Really don't think we should worry about getting a manager for the long term. What is the average shelf life of a Pl manager 2 seasons? No club other than Man U and Arsenal have had long term managers in recent times. Get someone who ambitious and motivated to a good job if they move on a couple of seasons latter so be it.

Put your money on Hughes, he is a club stayer and I might be right or wrong that Reed and him have crossed paths before?

 

 

Surely if he leaves Stoke for us he would prove he is not a club stayer......

Mark Hughes? Who walked out on Blackburn to go to City and walked out on Fulham thinking he was getting the Villa job but hilariously then didn't? And you're saying he will, er, walk out on Stoke to come to us?

 

What a brilliant club stayer he is.

You're right no foreign manager is guaranteed to succeed,but I would rather have one that knows Europa league and dealing with a team at the top end of the table than one that knows nothing about it.

We will have expectations of a top 6 finish every season now so using the academy will be harder I would imagine,the one thing that will definitely be worth noting is if the new manager deems them good enough to make the step up as RK clearly didn't believe them good enough

He's had more clubs than Tiger Woods
