OldNick Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 John Hughes has suddenly come out of nowhere to be favourite on most betting sites? Who the f*ck!?surely Mark?? Oh dear if so
Nordic Saint Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 From the BBC; Tord we have received from the street is that Southampton are hoping to have a replacement for Mauricio Pellegrino in place by the weekend. They face Wigan on Sunday in the quarter finals of the FA Cup. The club has confirmed Assistant Manager Carlos Compagnucci and Assistant First Team Coach Xavier Tamarit have also parted company with the club. Dave Watson and Kelvin Davis both remain on the coaching staff at St Mary's. Southampton have had just 1 win in their last 17 league games and their next league fixture is away to West Ham United. You just know it’s davis and Watson on Sunday! Eek! I sincerely hope Les Reed isn't going to impose Kelvin Davis and Dave Watson as first team coaches on the new manager.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Strachan is a busted flush who blew it for me with his tactics in Cardiff. Should have gone for the Fulham manager last summer. Too late now so either Silva but more likely Hughes.
Pilchards Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 According to the radio we will hope to have someone in for the Wigan game. Looks like our search started a while ago.
beatlesaint Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Hughes now favourite on SkyBet but of course their odds only reflect the betting
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Big rumour around town is Hughes has been on a retainer here for the last month.
OldNick Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Strachan is a busted flush who blew it for me with his tactics in Cardiff. Should have gone for the Fulham manager last summer. Too late now so either Silva but more likely Hughes.Hughes isn't very inspiring for me personally. Not sure he is one to put a bomb under them
Saint Fan CaM Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Bets on for the Les & Kelv dream team - what could possibly go wrong? By special demand of Mr Goa.
saint lard Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Luis Enrique please. I can live in hope. Failing that,Silva I suppose. Surely they won’t go for some obscure, left field appointment again. I sincerely do not want Hughes. It will be telling by who they appoint if it is a long term or short term fix. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
OldNick Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Big rumour around town is Hughes has been on a retainer here for the last month.Really, how is that been kept quiet but also why act so late if that is the case
Manuel Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Not a fan of Hughes but at least he's familiar with the Prem League. Could do with some of that right now.
davefizzy14 Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 What about Van Gaal or Hiddink on short term deal then review at end of the season?
beatlesaint Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Big rumour around town is Hughes has been on a retainer here for the last month. Big rumour that hasn’t been mentioned by anyone including you until......well now !
aintforever Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 I’d be happy with Hughes. It’s a fire-fighting job until the end of the season, you need someone with experience and stature who knows the Prem IMO.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Big rumour around town is Hughes has been on a retainer here for the last month. Why would he be on a retainer - no-one else is going to want him?
Heisenberg Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Why would he be on a retainer - no-one else is going to want him? WBA?
CB Fry Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Big rumour around town is Hughes has been on a retainer here for the last month.Sounds like the kind of weird corrupt stuff you read in Private Eye. I love reading about corrupt stuff in Private Eye.
benjii Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 I'm hearing snippets that we'll have a new manager in soon. I can't say any more for now.
Pamplemousse Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Why would we do that though? Makes no sense to me at all.
CanadaSaint Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Surprised that Martinez isn't in the frame yet. Smart guy, can play good footie, still very in touch with the PL. Might not want to start against Wigan.
Suhari Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 A certain Doctor Who fan, might be very pleased. Eh?
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Why would we do that though? Makes no sense to me at all. Might as well put me on a ****ing retainer...
benjii Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Surprised that Martinez isn't in the frame yet. Smart guy, can play good footie, still very in touch with the PL. Might not want to start against Wigan. And currently the manager of Belgium.
CB Fry Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Surprised that Martinez isn't in the frame yet. Smart guy, can play good footie, still very in touch with the PL. Might not want to start against Wigan.He's about to take one of the top seeds to the World Cup. He's not about to jack that in to coach Nathan Redmond.
Saint_clark Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Surprised that Martinez isn't in the frame yet. Smart guy, can play good footie, still very in touch with the PL. Might not want to start against Wigan. He is not going to leave the Belgium national team right before a world cup to potentially manage a Championship side.
Toadhall Saint Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Surprised that Martinez isn't in the frame yet. Smart guy, can play good footie, still very in touch with the PL. Might not want to start against Wigan. I was thinking the same
Toadhall Saint Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 He is not going to leave the Belgium national team right before a world cup to potentially manage a Championship side. Ah that’s why ?
Pamplemousse Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Martinez - has Hazard, De Bruyne, Lukaku etc.. or Tadic, Redmond and Long.... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm tough choice.
Baird of the land Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Would be very disappointed if we got rid only to replace with the useless hughes. Gotta push out the boat for silva
LGTL Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Hughes has been at the Chewton Glen recently. Coincidence, I'm sure..
CanadaSaint Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 He's about to take one of the top seeds to the World Cup. He's not about to jack that in to coach Nathan Redmond. Okay, that would be why he's not in the frame (head-slapping noise).
wild-saint Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Love John Hughes. Wait whose John Hughes??? to be honest most on here would have taken john Hughes over MoPo whoever he is lol
cloggy saint Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Surprised that Martinez isn't in the frame yet. Smart guy, can play good footie, still very in touch with the PL. Might not want to start against Wigan. Hmm, do you think he would jump ship from a highly rated world cup team to a relegation candidate?
sfc1976 Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 John Hughes - think he directed planes, trains and automobiles. Love that movie.
Monk Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Silva, Bilic, Monk or Potter Haven't finished my UEFA A licence yet but thanks.
Dellman Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Please not Hughes, anybody before Hughes. He has no record as a manager, just look at Stoke as a legacy. As someone said he could get two sides relegated in one deason, that would be a record and no one would ever take it off him
Miltonaggro Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 to be honest most on here would have taken john Hughes over MoPo whoever he is lol Me too, or Howard Hughes. Sparky rightly not popular with Saints fans due to his previous but still light years ahead of the clown, and he’s a hardcase. Money has to be on Hughes or Silva, with the possibility of an old head like MoN, GH or WGS with a ‘keep us up’ remit. Whoever it is they will do better and we have to get right behind them!
Joesaint Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 I'd be more than happy with Hughes, knows league and can pick a team and try to win, average but has a chance of keeping us up; about a mile better than the last manager. In fact I think he would be fine here.
angelman Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 The one thing Hughes has in his favour, is that I am sure that he can bang heads together and has the playing career to back it up.
Chez Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 John Hughes - think he directed planes, trains and automobiles. Love that movie. National Lampoons, Weird Science and Uncle Buck were his work too.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Has anyone here ever watched a Hughes side play? You want boring, negative football with no results, then that's what you'll get.
benjii Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 John Hughes - think he directed planes, trains and automobiles. Love that movie. Yeah, that's a classic. Those aren't pillows.
Simon3737 Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 We managed to get Sammy Lee after he’d agreed to go to Brighton, so don’t give up!
beatlesaint Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 Has anyone here ever watched a Hughes side play? You want boring, negative football with no results, then that's what you'll get. umm, isn’t that what we’ve just had ?
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 12 March, 2018 Posted 12 March, 2018 umm, isn’t that what we’ve just had ? Exactly my point.
