Saint_Ash Posted 26 June, 2016 Share Posted 26 June, 2016 There are 2 ways of looking at the time it is taking to annoint a new messiah. Either we are being thorough and diligent in making sure we get the right man (again) or we haven't got a scooby and no one is buying into "the Southampton Way". I hope it's the former. We're an attractive proposition and any decent manager would want to manage us but we are making sure we appoint the right person. I'm happy for it to take as long as it takes to interview all the candidates and get the right person I'm. There's no immediate rush at the moment.

Toadhall Saint Posted 26 June, 2016 Share Posted 26 June, 2016 Yep Silva for me, great record at a small club that had to sell their best players, a good albeit short record at two big clubs, young up and coming coach, plays attacking football, knows the Portuguese league and has experience in Europe. What's not to like? But I get the impression that it will be Puel. Still WTF do I know? I'll support whoever (within reason). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
explorer saint Posted 26 June, 2016 Share Posted 26 June, 2016 Wish we had gone for pelligrini now , southampton way or not it would of been seen as positive move for continuing to climb the table and also recruitment .. At moment it seems we are happy with a 6-10th place finish .. Happy if new manager can prove all this wrong and we do a Leicester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorpie the sinner Posted 26 June, 2016 Share Posted 26 June, 2016 For all the Marco silva supporters, it is interesting to note that he is the same odds as Tim Flowers and Egil Ostenstadt to become manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 26 June, 2016 Share Posted 26 June, 2016 FF ask yourself and then tell us what you think. Thorough and diligent is my guess Well, because Reed got it right last time (although Koeman's premature departure showed perhaps he was not as perfect as we all thought) he deserves our patience and trust, but the time it is taking is telling me either the club have been caught on the hop a bit or their chosen candidate is proving awkward to land. Or he could could still be involved in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint IQ Posted 26 June, 2016 Share Posted 26 June, 2016 Looking at Puels league finishes he did well in his first and fourth (last) year finishing 4th both times however in his second season he only just stayed up by 2 points and then 11th (out of 18teams) in his 3rd season. Looking like it's going to be him, hope Les has pulled another rabbit out of the hat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 26 June, 2016 Share Posted 26 June, 2016 My third choice from all names mentioned- desperately wanted Pellegrini or Garcia but I will support him ofc. I honestly don't know why I am worried about relegation with this guy! With Garcia or Pellegrini I would've thought we will be guaranteed a few more top 10 finishes!

stevy777_x Posted 26 June, 2016 Share Posted 26 June, 2016 Le Meltdown Tweets I posted about Puel: Yes I can tell you i've been watching French football for 10 years. Worried Puel doesn't fit with our philosophy In general, plays a very defensive style,boring football, that's why he was booted out of Lyon disagreements with Aulas Last year Nice played attractive football but this was mainly due to the form of Ben Arfa. Puel got the best out of him. Not sure he is perfect fit, blows hot and cold 4th with Nice then 11th and 17th the 2 previous seasons. He also has 2 sons he insisted on playing them. One left to Le Havre and one is still at Nice. Reminds me of Pulis with his son Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It suggests that he rebuilt the side he inherited and turned them into a top four side over a two-year period, and used youth and built an exciting style. I'm confused how you've said 'hot and cold'... * - with the youngest squad and with an exciting style of play ** - his oldest outfield is 33 year old Bodmer, next oldest is 28 - most of the squad is 18-25 Edited 26 June, 2016 by Saint-Armstrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
