Saint_Ash Posted 17 June, 2017 Share Posted 17 June, 2017 Ok what's the fuss with Pellegrino?

Dalek2003 Posted 17 June, 2017 Share Posted 17 June, 2017 Dithering, indecisive, slow, disorganised, clueless, so goes another transfer window and our inability to get the right manager as well. Still, appointing a manager late gives the Board the excuse for our lack of transfer activity. Same as ever, 'letting the manager settle in' , 'we will review the situation in January' etc We are going to get caught out this season. The relegation battle awaits.

ericofarabia Posted 17 June, 2017 Share Posted 17 June, 2017 Can't see anybody on our horizon who'd make VVD change his stance and willingly stay. So it's up to Les to stick VVD's nutsack in a vice and start tightening the grip to get VVD to apologise and play his part next season .. unless the 70 million cash of some decent player and I don't mean Mr Sacko Sh!te plus at least 50 mill materialises. Had to laugh at The Mirror saying VVD is staying as he plays a major part in Kit Release. Complete opposite, obviously airbrushed out as much as is humanly possible in my mind.

saints-til-i-die Posted 17 June, 2017 Share Posted 17 June, 2017 I find it laughable. Giggs? The club want someone with a proven record for bringing young players through as they've said constantly over the last few years. Track record. That's not Giggs or anyone without experience. I'm not expecting a great manager to be announced but I'm not worried in the slightest that it'll be someone's first managerial position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint IQ Posted 17 June, 2017 Share Posted 17 June, 2017 Hasn't really been mentioned but Thierry Henry would be my choice, as assistant to Laurent Blanc. Imagine. Stop flaffin about and get it done Lesley. I'd rather have Vieira and Henry than Giggs and whoever else Can't see us attracting Blanc/Tuchel or anyone else of that standing in the football managerial world.

tisspahars Posted 17 June, 2017 Share Posted 17 June, 2017 A good example of how, if you know where to look, the betting markets are absolutely relevant (paying attention Pamplemousse? ) ....Ryan Giggs - plenty of paper talk, plenty of forum talk, 13/2 with Skybet....but I am about to put up £100 at 14/1 on Betfair and i'm as certain as I can be not a bean will be taken because the people that know, know there is just no way it is happening (and if anyone does take it, more fool them).

If puel wasn't part of next seasons plans then he should have gone a lot earlier but again we spend the first half of the pre season fannying around looking for a manager.

Currently we're the most attractive (and available) club in 'the world's most exciting league'.....so surely we should have our pick of managers? The names currently kicking about aren't that exciting. Perhaps the takeover situation and/or 'Southampton Way' set up makes us less attractive than we might otherwise be?

We get this wrong and there could be a rapid slide in the offing. in what way? We have a reputation for selling off our best players, the club has stated many times that the manager has a very limited role with regards to player recruitment, we just sacked the last manager for finish 8th and reaching a cup final (and yes we can debate how good an achievement that was but from a prospective managers point of view it doesn't look like good job security) and we have no European football to offer.
