VectisSaint Posted 1 June, 2017 Share Posted 1 June, 2017 So if your dad moves you and your family to Australia for work, will referring to you as English become a pedant's play field you think? Difference is though that Kat was born in Switzerland (I think), whereas Markus was born in Germany. Nevertheless Kat is German speaking if not actually German.

Heisenberg Posted 1 June, 2017 Share Posted 1 June, 2017 Tuchel is now 2nd favorite with the bookies (4/1) glad I jumped in previously while he was 50/1 Gary Monk is still bookies fav at 2/1 Reminds me of last summer when we had great candidates being linked and odds dropped on Pellegrini at one stage to 1/10 - then we appointed Puel from almost nowhere.

Give it to Ron Posted 1 June, 2017 Share Posted 1 June, 2017 According to a knowledgable friend, the top 4/5/6 all rate Tuchel but probably wouldn't gamble on him until he has PL exp at another CL club. We could be his audition. It's not out of the question. Look at how Pep has struggled to adapt. This is our best ever chance to push on. But gambled on Puel who had only managed in France.

View From The Top Posted 1 June, 2017 Share Posted 1 June, 2017 As I've stated earlier I genuinely don't think it's that fanciful. There appears to be a dearth of top level jobs going this summer, only Roma currently springs to mind with their chap off to Inter. That means IF and I appreciate it is a big IF Tuchel fancied a move to the EPL then somewhere like Saints would be a natural step. He has a couple of successful seasons with Saints and he'll be in line for Arsenal amongst others. The same, of course, could be said if he stays in Germany with a team such as Bayer but maybe he fancies a new challenge. Who knows. I'm sure he'll have plenty of suitors but him coming to Saints isn't as fanciful as some make out, not in the current market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are quite big and progressive enough to attract Tuchel - Assuming of course we want him. Even when Koeman was doing well he never had the hype Tuchel has as a manager. I think Koeman wanted to leave last summer because he knew that a less successful season at Saints (for whatever reason, recruitment, league competitiveness or just plain bad luck) would erode his standing and career progression. Tuchel would probably look at us the same way - a couple of seasons of duking it out for a Europa League place with saints isn't exactly going to burnish his reputation beyond where it is now, while getting caught in any downward trajectory we're on as a club would actively undermine his credibility. Frankly, we'd be a very stupid place for him to cash in his Dortmund career chips right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 2 June, 2017 Share Posted 2 June, 2017 Ok have done a bit of research in german google this morning and for all rumours I never believe UK papers hence go to the local ones. -Tuchel seems to of fallen out with some of the older players but was loved by the younger players (klopp legacy players probably thinking they were the nuts who then moaned to chairman). - Leverkusen have 3 managers on their shortlist apparently - Tuchel/Wagner/Bosz and will confirm who next week. - All the quotes about southampton being interested seem to be referencing the sun who in turn are referencing that journo from the other day so maybe convienent b*ll**** to sell papers. - Favre is favourite at Dortmund but Bosz and another are potential candidates. What I don't understand from the Sun's article is this: "The Premier League side also face competition from Bayer Leverkusen, who will be able to offer a much bigger wage." Surely we can pay him way more than Leverkusen can ? MLG what are the stats as I can't find Schmidt salary when he was boss ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
