Pilchards Posted 23 June, 2017 Share Posted 23 June, 2017 I looked back on the Pottychino thread a few years back and it was embarrassing as many never gave him a chance. I will say this guy will take us into the top 6 come xmas time and we will finish in 7th with a cup final victory in the bag. Our star player will be someone that he has brought into the club for a record total of 23m after add ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauricio impressed us throughout with his depth of knowledge, motivation and ability, communicating this in a professional and passionate way. “He has an excellent understanding of the Southampton Way, and his style of play and aspiration matches the philosophy, culture and ambition of the club. “We firmly believe Mauricio is the right person to help us take the next steps. He knows our players and believes we have a great squad that with some fine-tuning will be able to deliver continued success. “Mauricio believes with the quality we have we can play exciting, attacking football, taking the game to our opponents by playing a high-intensity game. He will continue to develop and introduce young players whilst building on the core of experience that we have in the squad. “During the recruitment process Mauricio quickly became our first choice and, while he had other options, we are delighted he feels that St Mary’s is the right place for him and we believe he is the right fit for us. We are looking forward to working with Mauricio to take the club forward and achieve more success with this team.” Mauricio Pellegrino said: “I am really happy to become the new coach of Southampton Football Club. The club has a great reputation for having a strong and stable structure, competing in the Premier League and playing attractive football. “I think my philosophy and the culture of the club will work well together. We have to be a team on and off the pitch; I want to make the supporters proud of the players and to feel part of the game every week. I want to win matches, be successful and develop a team spirit where everyone gives 100 per cent and supports each other. “I am excited and passionate about what the future holds for us and look forward to meeting the players and beginning our preparation for the new season.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les talks absolute corporate sh1te Director of Operations/Overlord Les Reed commented: "We are delighted to welcome Xxxx to the club. It became apparent in our early discussions that Xxxx was the outstanding candidate amongst a very strong list of renowned coaches. Xxxx aligns perfectly with our strategic vision for the club and fits perfectly, complimenting the ever-growing and forward thinking staff we already have at the club. We identified Xxxx early in the recruitment process as our top target and we are very happy that Xxxx has joined the club in what is sure to be one of our most exciting seasons in recent memory. I look forward to working closely with him during pre-season to enable us the best opportunity in terms of preparing for the forthcoming season ahead". In other words, a complete load of sh1te.

Saint Albert Posted 23 June, 2017 Share Posted 23 June, 2017 Welcome to the new manager! He's grown on me, after I was initially underwhelmed by pretty much all the names out there this summer.
