shurlock Posted 31 May, 2017 Share Posted 31 May, 2017 I have a contact very high up in the club who tells me stuff and I've been telling people down the pub for a couple of weeks now. We've been talking to Frank De Boer's representatives and also Schmitt. One of those is very interested the other isn't. I won't say which. Virgil wants out. We were close to signing Samedo but this has fallen through. It could be revived. I know for a fact that my contact is the same as ericb. A breath of fresh air amid the noise and BS. It's a shame that the likes of AR-10 have to spoil things and muddy the line between those who have valuable info to contribute and those who don't.

ericb Posted 31 May, 2017 Share Posted 31 May, 2017 So on balance' date=' is any of the news you know about actually good, or would you consider it all to be pretty bad?[/quote'] Some good, some bad, some more than likely ********. To be honest with you when it comes to managers there's more rumour than fact on these things even behind the scenes, the easiest knowledge to get is amount players leaving as they talk amongst themselves and that filters out a lot more. Players coming in tends to not really get spoken about much from inside the club, though the same you get snippets from outside of saints. The stuff with the takeover/board etc. is more forthcoming for reasons i don't really want to go into. In terms of the management stuff why i said earlier that i wanted to confirm with other people before posting stuff is that you tend to find rumours that are coming from more than one location tend to have more validity (for example the first manager we'd spoken to and rejected i heard about from a number of sources, and i'm fairly sure more than one person on here knew it too). The other thing that is pretty early to spill out are disagreements in the dressing room and the like. Though due to the nature of stuff some of these should be taken with a pinch of salt as some people do blow sh*t out of proportion in every work place. Then there's third thing, outliers, which are little titbits of info worth very little (like players nicknames for other players) but can actually be quite funny. For example given Monk's role (or contacts perhaps) at the club i'm sure he knows who the players nickname "The thick one" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGTL Posted 31 May, 2017 Share Posted 31 May, 2017 (edited) Some of you need to get a ****ing life (MLG) - demanding that someone name names or reveal sources just because you've had a tantrum at being ignored. I've known bits in the past (Adkins) and hear the odd bit now (best mates cousin is a current 1st team player) but I wouldn't dream of sharing it with 99% of this board. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the players aren't privy to much in the way of transfers but it's interesting to get views on management. FWIW, I'm strongly in the Puel out camp...

SuperSAINT Posted 6 June, 2017 Share Posted 6 June, 2017 BOSZ IN AT DORTMUND Borussia Dortmund are expected to announce today that Peter Bosz is their new head coach. Bosz has been the Ajax manager for just one season. They finished second in the league – one point behind Feyenoord – and were beaten in the Europa league final by Manchester United. Bosz will replace Thomas Tuchel, who left Dortmund last week after winning the German Cup final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 9 June, 2017 Share Posted 9 June, 2017 PALACE IN DE BOER TALKS Former Ajax and Inter Milan manager Frank de Boer is in talks to take over at Crystal Palace and Sky Sports News HQ understands he is one of a number of candidates under consideration by the Selhurst Park board. De Boer has been patiently waiting for a new job, since his departure from Inter last year and was linked with the vacant post at Rangers four months ago, but said he did not want to take over in the middle of a season.

SuperSAINT Posted 14 June, 2017 Share Posted 14 June, 2017 PELLEGRINI IN PALACE TALKS Crystal Palace have held talks with former Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini about their vacant position at Selhurst Park, according to Sky sources. Steve Parish has been frustrated in his attempts to find a successor to Sam Allardyce, who resigned last month after keeping the club in the Premier League. Pellegrini was appointed head coach at Hebei China Fortune last August but we understand he has always been keen on a return to English football.
