beatlesaint Posted 22 June, 2016 Share Posted 22 June, 2016 If any of our ITKs wish to confirm that Jack is indeed not making this all up, then please feel free and prove me wrong. Does that include an apology for basically calling the guy a liar since day one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf Posted 22 June, 2016 Share Posted 22 June, 2016 I was wondering about that, wouldn't we have to ask for City's permission first of all? Highly unlikely though that there would be any problems, if there were we could just wait until July 1st. I suppose by the letter, we probably would but I'd imagine when they told him he was being replaced, they'd have probably given him permission to speak to other clubs universally. He left them on good terms so I can't imagine they'd be that petty to him. I doubt it'd be a serious problem and even if it was, the same would apply to Russia or anyone else that wanted to speak to him so it's not like anyone would get a head start.

Soggy Bottom Posted 22 June, 2016 Share Posted 22 June, 2016 I believe it is all Jack Schitt. A conspiracy theorist might suggest that it is all an effort to drive traffic towards this Sotonians website (I had never heard of it before!) If any of our ITKs wish to confirm that Jack is indeed not making this all up, then please feel free and prove me wrong. He said that Vitor Pereira would rule himself out and expect that today: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/14572396.Pereira_says_Saints_link__not_true_/?ref=rss And there it is, either he is a very good at guessing or he has links to people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckenham Saint Posted 22 June, 2016 Share Posted 22 June, 2016 I was wondering about that, wouldn't we have to ask for City's permission first of all? Highly unlikely though that there would be any problems, if there were we could just wait until July 1st. No reason he couldn't sign a contract that only comes into play on the 1st of July, when he is no longer their manager. When you sign a player on a pre-contract Bosman, I don't think you have to pay compensation to his old club, but could be wrong. Anyway, if we need to pay any compensation to Manchester City (which would surely be minimal as we're hardly poaching him from them AND they have a manager incoming, so no problem for them), then we'd surely use the money we got from either Koeman or Wanyama to cover it.

Schitt is just reading latest news and spinning those together with some reasonable probabilties with all know about. Although I'd like the believe him there really isn't anything he's said so far that qualifies him as an ITK. It's guess work and a keen eye for the foreign press. Now if he came out and said a specific player will sign a new contract on an exact day, then he gets the thumbs up from me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 22 June, 2016 Share Posted 22 June, 2016 The only reason Vitor was dropped from the race is because you can't make 4 syllables from it. Pellegrini/Claude Puel is perfect for the chant. ITK. Very excited for Pellegrini if he is coming here. Imagine in September 2009 someone said that the current Real Madrid manager (at that time in 2009) will be coming to the Saints! Mental!

IMHO I don't think it will be Pellegrini, It's too obvious and it could be a ploy to divert the truth away from who we really want. Loved to be wrong.
