OldNick Posted 22 May, 2017 Share Posted 22 May, 2017 With our limited squad who is going to produce better than 8th?? We have only 1 player fit at present who might play in the top 4 team. IMO that is Ryan Bertrand. Romeau would be close, Redmond in a years time. The rest are decent mid table PL players. The board sold our goalscorers and then told us that Austin was bought to replace them, that wasnt on the agenda when he first arrived, he was to suppliment them. So we ended up with 2 damaged forwards, and one that is very good at getting chances but not any good at finishing them. Then we did get Gabbi who will become a decent goalscorer for us, but that has waned a tad since his injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Albert Posted 22 May, 2017 Share Posted 22 May, 2017 Ranieri makes more sense as the next passenger on Watford's managerial merry-go-round what with their Italian owners. I saw a bit on the telly yesterday linking him to them. Can't for the life of me remember what I was watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a manager who can win cup finals, not just get us there. You can't credit him for getting us to the EFL Final without also offsetting it by chucking the FA Cup in the 4th round.

Look what Mark Hughes said Asked about Puel’s position, he said: “It is a little bit puzzling. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think they are eighth. Sometimes you can’t understand it really.” While saints fans might find fault in our position everyone else will just look at the table and "go 8th and a cup final decent season for them" Edited 22 May, 2017 by doddisalegend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 22 May, 2017 Share Posted 22 May, 2017 I heard a very interesting name mentioned yesterday from a very good source, not going to share it yet as i've not been able to confirm it but if it's true it shows we're looking at a level above Ranieri that's for sure. Roy Hodgeson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saint in winchester Posted 22 May, 2017 Share Posted 22 May, 2017 Roy Hodgeson. Hope not. I'll hope for Jakanovic then until a better name is in the frame.

If he said he expected Saints to be doing better in any particular facet then he would pretty much be labelling that against his own job as well. Its clear to anyone who has followed us this season that the 8th position finish (and cup final to an extent) is a misnomer in terms of how the season has felt and what we have watched.

Dr. Kucho Posted 22 May, 2017 Share Posted 22 May, 2017 Unai Emery could be on his way from PSG If he gets the sack from PSG, we should try and sign him asap. Proven in La Liga, lost the Champions League draw to some dodgy refereeing and relatively big name. To attract players, and retain some other, we need a manager with a proven record.

Dr. Kucho Posted 22 May, 2017 Share Posted 22 May, 2017 Anyone know much about Phillip Cocu or Gio Van Bronckhorst management style? Giovanni van Bronckhorst has Feyenoord playing some nice stuff. They score loads of goals and have let in few goals. Phillip Cocu's style at PSV is more conservative and PSV dropped many points this/last season. Has to be said that both have strong squads and it would have been a farce if one of them had finished outside the top 3. Peter Bosz from Ajax would be a great appointment (won't happen), the guy has Ajax playing some amazing stuff and watch them beat United Wednesday in the Europa league final.
