fish fingers Posted 22 June, 2017 Share Posted 22 June, 2017 I'll be honest would have rather taken de boer, Big name, more respect from players and might have helped settle Virgil slightly, and also used to managing teams with high expectations. I also liked what we were doing in the Dutch market under RK so wouldn't have minded more of the same. Can't please everyone. I'd have stuck with Puel.

mrfahaji Posted 22 June, 2017 Share Posted 22 June, 2017 He's saying that the rumour about Vieira was started by someone at the club to see who leaked it. Surely such a tactic (if we really think Saints staff would go down such a route...) would only work if everyone was given a different rumour? If 10 people were 'leaked' a Vieira rumour, how would they know who the leak was? (I know you're just the messenger, not shooting you down!)

St_Tel49 Posted 22 June, 2017 Share Posted 22 June, 2017 Those comments speak volumes about Puel - an honorable, decent man treated very poorly by the club and fans. Yet those some muppets baying for his head will be the same ones slagging off players when they leave and how dishonorable they are. Being a massive hypocrite is one of the attributes of a football fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome Mauricio. Good job you trusted in Uncle Les then, because yesterday you were in full nappy wetting mode about Les: "Looks to me like Les has dropped a bollock here. Why wait so long to sack Puel without a replacement signed up? Just incompetent IMO. If we lose Pellegrino to Palace because of our "structure" it's embarrassing. To think we could go from finishing sixth and having a top manager like Pellegrini wanting to manage us to having some second rate Bundesliga manager at the start of next season...frightening. Oh well, in Les we trust as people on here would say." Patience is a virtue and we have a bloody good structure at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissyboy31 Posted 22 June, 2017 Share Posted 22 June, 2017 I feel quite positive about Pellegrino to be honest. He's a young coach, up and coming, very much in our style of how we like to do things. On paper it looks a good fit and it 'feels' right. It certainly feels a lot more 'right' than it did with Puel, for me that never felt correct from the outset. He never seemed a good fit. This guy seems perfect for what we're trying to do. 100% agree!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was concerned that the article suggested we might lose out on a good manager to a rival club as a result of our rigid structure and that we'd end up with a manager who wasn't as good.

Yeah sounds great. You can look at it like that or you could look at it that he's a manager coming to a country where he never played, and doesn't speak the language but now does his press conferences in English and has developed his skills so that the team he managed last season gained more points than anyone else from losing positions in the Premier League. Not forgetting a semi-final in the major cup competition (so also one visit to Wembley). Managers sometimes need time as well to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cautiously optimistic about the appointment; feels like the type of manager that Watford would appoint; that said, you have to something about you to get results against the big sides in Spain, arguably the most unequal league in the world.
