Unbelievable Jeff Posted 12 March, 2018 Share Posted 12 March, 2018 Potter is my pick anyway. Young, done it the right way learning abroad, trying something different. Amazing achievements, earned a chance and most importantly - he would be here for next season regardless. If Silva comes in and we go down, he would almost certainly leave. Potter feels more like a Saints pick. People will say it's a gamble, but keeping Pellegrino so long was the biggest gamble. I'd take Potter as well. Or Rowett.

Pamplemousse Posted 12 March, 2018 Share Posted 12 March, 2018 Is it mainly older people wanting Strachan? I mean I remember it, and like nostalgia but christ, football has moved on a lot and he has been awful since leaving us...14 YEARS AGO! Hoddle? Perhaps the only man I'd prefer Pellegrino to. Hughes, well, he's very average but he's far better than Pellegrino and we'd have a chance of staying up. Still think we can attract Silva. Risk for him though. Yes it's 8 games and excuses built in, it wouldn't be his fault if we went down. But it also wouldn't look good after Hull and the poor run at Watford. He needs to pick his next job v carefully. I'm not old at all I'd only want him until the end of the season, he certainly isn't the long term option. But he could give us the short term push that we need.

austsaint Posted 12 March, 2018 Share 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. He is the (type of) short term fire-fighter we need. Whoever it is, our remaining games look the most difficult of all relegation threatened sides - Stoke aside perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 12 March, 2018 Share Posted 12 March, 2018 Hughes’ record at Stoke wasn’t too bad, as a short term fix he could be what we need.

Not sure why some on here seem to think we are in a position to pick and choose our ideal manager, there is going to be a limit to who we can attract. Was just about to post the same. Beggars can’t be choosers in this situation, it has to be someone available right now and who will accept what may be a short term appointment. The best we can hope for is someone with experience of managing in premier league and a decent competent record. Bearing this in mind I would be OK with either Silva or Hughes.

scotty Posted 12 March, 2018 Share Posted 12 March, 2018 Wouldn't be surprised, being the Saints way, if we just go for De Boer now. Nearly did in summer. Uninspired, out of work, possession football. I know the reaction would be awful, and I wouldn't be excited, BUT, I still think he'd be a thousand times better than Pellegrino. 4 games at Palace isn't exactly a lot to judge it on. You could equally ask how appalling he must have been to get sacked after four games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 13 March, 2018 Share Posted 13 March, 2018 Why Not? Gotta get a big name in, instantly command respect from the players.Because we have 8 games and are a good bet to be relegated so we won't be attracting managers above our station with big reputations. It will be Hughes or someone of a similar calibre I expect. All this stuff about paying a big name 10 million to keep us up has never been done in the history of the league and we won't do it either.

Saint Albert Posted 13 March, 2018 Share Posted 13 March, 2018 ... Premier League managerial experience...that would be a first for a Saints replacement manager in the second Premer League era...Poch no PL experience, Koeman, no PL experience, Puel no PL experience, Pellegrino no PL experience (and completely useless of course) Hughes underwhelms but as stated before he’d be better than his predecessor and we’d have a chance, certainly better than if Pellegrino stayed. I don’t really like him as a long-term replacement but he may be an alright Championship manager I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
