New manager 2018-19 season thread

[DT]

I think we should give Hughes a chance tbh. I think he could be good for us.

[sadoldgit]

Given that that some people wanted Pellegrino out after 8 games, isnt it a bit previous to say Hughes no matter what? I know that this is Saintsweb, but judging after one game???

Or they are just good judges of ability? If you had watched his frightened rabbit in headlights on haunches at Wolves game you would have been worried too!

I think I have been right in the last 18 months

[Avenue_Saint]

Rodgers, Jokanovic or Hughes

[Dark Munster]

Nigel Pearson.

[Lastman73]

Anybody that’s capable of doing a good job and keeping us in the premier league. Not bothered who it is!

So far Hughes has said some reasonable things in the media and had one decent half of football against L1 opposition. Waiting until the end of the season before making a long-term call on the next manager seems prudent to me.

If it were up to you you'd probably still have pellegrino in charge now.

[EBS1980]

If he keeps us up, he’ll get the job.

If we go down, he’ll get the job.

Why doesn't Hughes get the standard three years in the role you usually argue for?

 

Have you forgotten Alex Ferguson and Lawrie McMenemy?

[SW5 SAINT]

If he keeps us up, he’ll get the job.

If we go down, he’ll get the job.

 

If he keeps us up, he could well be head hunted by someone else...........

[Convict Colony]

Andre Villas-Boas, Peter Bosz, Marco Silva or Thomas Tuchel

[John Boy Saint]

Nigel Pearson.

Very little chance, think he has golden handcuffs of some sort at Leurven as they are owned by King Power Thais

[Matthew Le God]

Can you give a potential example club for that scenario?

[Fitzhugh Fella]

More like Branfoot

[saint lard]

I would rather stick with Hughes......

Absolutely. If Hughes gets us out of the sh*t, we should go on bended knee to retain his services.

Absolutely. If Hughes gets us out of the sh*t, we should go on blended knee to retain his services.

Christ. I get we should be humble, but self mutilation is a bit far.

Touche.

[hypochondriac]

Fwiw I've been told by someone high up at the Echo that we want Graham Potter. Personally I'd give it to Hughes if he keeps us up as he will have earnt it.

[Viking Saint]

I think that Jokanović ticks many of Les Reed’s boxes.

 

Brendan Rodgers would be good also. I’m not 100% convinced he wants to come here, and I have a hard time forgetting his comments about our club when he was busy swiping our players.

 

This. can't stand the nauseating artificial tw*t. Don't want him anywhere near our club.

[Viking Saint]

If we do down, I’d love us to take a punt on Graham Potter.

 

Completely untested at English level and not a name that's going to draw players to us.

Neither was Nigel Adkins.

What, untested at English level?

A name that's going to draw players to us, genius.

[Toomer]

Lets get the great escape over and done with and worry about next season then.

[striker]

I believe if Hughes keeps us up, and the players like him, then he will stay

[Greedyfly]

Disagree on this one. Unless he comfortably keeps us up and wins the cup, then yes, I agree.

 

I think the fact we waited so long to sack MP and that we've only given him an 8 game contract suggests that we have our eye on someone in the summer. Or at the very least want to keep our options open.

 

(should we stay up) Personally, I think we'll go for Rodgers or Emery. (If we go down, I wouldn't be surprised if we kept Hughes - all depends on how we perform over the next 9-11 games.

 

 

Is that meant as a joke or some more crazy delusions of grandeur?

[Batman]

Nigel didn’t have to ‘attract’ anyone when he was here. A gold plated squad was in place and paid very handsomely for it

 

Which would be a different beast to anyone taking over should we get relegated

On what is that claim based?
