Saint_Ash Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 "Samuel was voted Sports Writer of the Year at the British Press Awards in 2007 and 2013, Sports Journalist of the Year at the SJA Sports Journalism Awards in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2010 and 2013, Sports Journalist of the Year at the 'What The Papers Say' awards in 2002, 2005 and 2006 and Sports Commentator of the Year at the Editorial Intelligence Comment Awards in 2014. In 2012, Samuel was named top in a UK Press Gazette poll of Britain's best sports journalists. In January 2015, he was named in Debrett's List of the 500 Most Influential People in Britain." Samuel is usually very pro-Saints, but he is a very good judge of managers and doesn't think Puel is good enough for us. You're a bit weird.
Saint_Ash Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Claude number 2 inc. Nice, maybe that is the hold up, sorting out his number 2. Is Sammy still around?
Depressed of Shirley Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 "Samuel was voted Sports Writer of the Year at the British Press Awards in 2007 and 2013, Sports Journalist of the Year at the SJA Sports Journalism Awards in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2010 and 2013, Sports Journalist of the Year at the 'What The Papers Say' awards in 2002, 2005 and 2006 and Sports Commentator of the Year at the Editorial Intelligence Comment Awards in 2014.

Samuel is usually very pro-Saints, but he is a very good judge of managers and doesn't think Puel is good enough for us. Not to put too finer point on it but he isn't pro-Saints, and thinks Harry Redknapp is a good manager. Samuel has some good ideas, in particular the scrapping of the loan system, but he is very much against Saints in almost everything he has ever written, all since the spat with Lowe mentioned earlier in the thread.
Saint IQ Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Since when ? He puts the odd phrase in to suggest so whilst the general tone of his articles about Saints tell of impending doom, meltdowns and disaster ! exactly this
doddisalegend Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Puel will be a disaster Good to see you're giving him a chance ?
Mallagroth Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Puel will be a disaster A lot of people said that about Ranierii and whilst I doubt that will ever happen again I think we need to take it as example and just wait and see what happen, judge the guy once he's got into it. We had a great end to the season and still have the majority of that team (at the moment) so let's just see how quickly any new attacking options will take to bed in and whether the switch to a new shape can actually improve some of our players.
Saint_Ash Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Puel will be a disaster Wake up Maggie I think I have something to say to you...
St Jim Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Claude number 2 inc. Excellent - and finally some movement on this. Any indication of when it will all be sorted?
itchen_dan Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Claude number 2 inc. Any idea roughly on timescale? Talk yesterday was that today was THE day. Maybe the No. 2 is the hold up?
Nolan Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Claude number 2 inc. Claude makalele as Puels number 2? (pure guess work) Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Claude number 2 inc. Or Number 2 signing ?
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Fan of that thinking Ben Arfa on a free ?
Saint IQ Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Or Number 2 signing ? Ben Arfa on a free ? Was just about to say this, no transfer fee involved so could be done very swiftly if it is that....
Matthew Le God Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Claude number 2 inc. Why such a vague post? What is that meant to mean?
Saint_Ash Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 It's obviously his assistant manager. Probably who was his number 2 at Nice, probably Guy Mengual as Pamplemousse asks above.
Window Cleaner Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Ben Arfa on a free ? No, apparently he's falling over himself to accept the last minute offer he got from PSG, told you so yesterday.
Window Cleaner Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 It's obviously his assistant manager. Probably who was his number 2 at Nice, probably Guy Mengual as Pamplemousse asks above. Unless we're going to sign his son Gregoire. He's a right back(not a particulary good one I believe) thus Number 2 . He's also their second child I think, Charlène being the eldest. Now she's a shîte hot 800 metre runner, surely we need one of those.
Lambert7 Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Why such a vague post? What is that meant to mean? His posts are getting stupid. Not informative, just enough that when something happens people know he knew.

em00jie Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Claude number 2 inc.... inc = incoming / is not coming
beatlesaint Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 It clearly means Claude has finished second in a one horse race and has been pipped to the post as Saints new manager by an unknown candidate !!
Saint_Ash Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 It means he's been given the job on the 2nd increment on the pay scale.

Bewildered Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Ty in as assistant? Are they going to pay him in tat from the club shop?
Give it to Ron Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Hope its not Makalele great player but sacked as a coach after a few months
Nolan Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Hope its not Makalele great player but sacked as a coach after a few months Assisted laurent blanc and carlo ancelotti at psg. Had experience of the premier league, would be Under Puel. Went would him being a no 2 or 3 be an issue?

You could coach at PSG they won league by Christmas :-) Nope but will wait and see how he does.....as have posted before I thought Whiskey George and Redknapp were going to fix us
ART Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Talksport touting former Chile manager Marcel Bielsa as currently the best manager availabl Managed Marseille, Espanyol, Athletico and Premier League clubs,needing a manager would be fools not to employ him
davefizzy14 Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 So what is the latest? Are there any itkers with any,updates as we still do not really know who it could be. I'm still hoping for Pellegrini.

Jai27 Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 So what is the latest? Are there any itkers with any,updates as we still do not really know who it could be. I'm still hoping for Pellegrini. It's about 99% Claude Puel and expected to be announced by the end of the week.
VectisSaint Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Claude number 2 inc.... inc = incoming / is not coming It means he is getting a tat, probably says "Saints forever, or until.I get a better offer"
EBS1980 Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 Is the reason some people aren't excited about Puel being our new manager because he isn't a big name based on his own footballing career? If we were on the verge of appointing Dennis Bergkamp, and he had Puel managerial record would everyone be wetting themselves in excitement? Being a good pro footballer doesn't make you a better manager.
trousers Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 You're a bit weird. I'm trying to work out what name he used to post under before but can't put my finger on it. The style rings a bell though...
Saint_Ash Posted 29 June, 2016 Posted 29 June, 2016 I'm trying to work out what name he used to post under before but can't put my finger on it. The style rings a bell though... Another alter ego of Saint Charlie?

If we were on the verge of appointing Dennis Bergkamp, and he had Puel managerial record would everyone be wetting themselves in excitement? Being a good pro footballer doesn't make you a better manager. I couldn't care less about his playing career really. I'm not excited because his record as a manager isn't great and his win ratios are the worst of everyone we've been linked with despite spending the majority of his managerial career with big clubs in a fairly poor league.
