Vice-chairman Les Reed began searching for Puel’s successor even before the season had finished and is understood to be keen on making a swift appointment. Really ?

Pilchards Posted 8 June, 2017 Share Posted 8 June, 2017 The Monk rumours just won't go away and I would be disappointed with him and Beattie.

I can't see the current players dragging up the escapades of Beatts and Kents in Yates's over a decade ago when asked to do a bit of keep-ball.

Faz Posted 9 June, 2017 Share Posted 9 June, 2017 Monk Silva Wagner One two time failure One who got relegated One who managed to win two play-off semi's and a final without scoring a goal when we our fans are moaning about dour football.

Nordic Saint Posted 10 June, 2017 Share Posted 10 June, 2017 That wasn't Reed, that was Nik-Nak. He was spotted by our head of recruitment, Paul Mitchell, who'd been monitoring an Espanyol player and was impressed by the style of football Pochettino's team played. Most of our best players and managers were spotted by Mitchell. Since he left, we have been fairly rudderless in the transfer market. Les Reed is just a 'figurehead' and self publicist, who some posters on here seem to worship and credit for other people's work - people who have now either been fired by Reed or have left the Club of their own accord.

Convict Colony Posted 10 June, 2017 Share Posted 10 June, 2017 To be honest I think Schmidt would not have signed for China unless we had made a decision on our position. I think either way we have decided on the replacement and are now negotiating the payoff with Puel and they would be announced together to ensure continuity of leadership and not leave a gap of managers for agents/players/otherclubs to try and exploit.

Professor Posted 10 June, 2017 Share Posted 10 June, 2017 Thomas Tuchel shortened up in the betting with Paddy Power to 15/8 clear favourite. Hope there's some substance behind this! The only substance to betting odds is the value of the bets placed. It does mean that more punters think Tuchel is worth risking a bet but that will be based on what they've seen reported, not because anyone is ITK. Could also be an element of wishful thinking by Saints' fans as most of us would be extremely impressed if Tuchel was appointed. Along with keeping Van Dijk, having an established top manager would indicate a step change. If this does come about, the Les Reed critics should take some overdue time off.
