Frank Lampard is being muted and I know his record isn't great, but he's the type that does well here. Like Ball, Hoddle and Keoman he would have the respect of the players as an ex top player. Like nearly all our best managers he's had failures at other clubs but I think he could do a good job here.

Nail on head. Lampard like Koeman and hoddle would also command a great respect from the players .lampard is a intelligent guy who whilst not blessed with super physical attributes as a player still managed to be one of the best midfielders in the premiership.. that’s the kind of guy you want coaching your players 

Also whilst it seems all the rage to go for the upcoming manager like rohl who has no blemishes yet on his record it also makes him a hell of a lot more likely to get poached by a big club if he does do well then say the likes of lampard or cooper . I know some will point to that means he’s done a good job if that happens but surely it’s better to not have the disruption ?

[Dusic]

Maybe we missed our window of opportunity with Rohl. You don't often get a second chance if you are where we are in the food chain.

Hopefully with Spors in place we can at least be decisive, whatever that ends up being.

But please, not Wagner.

I'm worried Rooney is out of a job...😅

Don't be...McDonalds are hiring.

Matt Hancock - Sport Republic to show some strategic ambition this time! 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Lampard? Too close to Uncle fucking Harry for my liking. And I’m out.

Carrick for me. Done well at Boro. Knows the league and would have the respect of the players. 

Outside of his first 6 months in charge of Boro, its been fairly average. Missed out on the playoffs last season and theres every chance they'll do the same again this season. Hardly a ringing endorsement when we need somebody to get us promoted.

[HKsaint]

Gary Monk with Beattie alongside, please.

[Maggie May]

Will Still for me.

We have had chaos for the last 3 years why can’t we do sensible?

We had Poundland Pep, Taffy Nutter, Death Metal Clown(Aribo centre half!) isn’t it time we stopped trying to be clever and have some sanity ?

It’s my fault I hated Puel ! Careful what you wish for is so true but who would have thought our recruitment would be this bad since 2016.

[Fitzhugh Fella]

Cooper ticks the most boxes for me.

He's experienced, successful and available.

[CB Fry]

Steve Cooper achieved as many points in his 12 games at Leicester as Saints have managed all season.

We'll have, possibly, the biggest budget in the league and some of the best players. 

We don't need some wanky bollocks philosophy manager.

Problem is we've had a wanky bollocks philosophy director in Ankerson as the driving force behind those appointments so need to keep him well away from the process

Also interesting point about budget, guess it depends how much we raise from sales , not sure how FFP works in EFL but teams coming up from league one (Birmingham and Wrexham) I expect to spend much more than average , could be a tough division 

[Mr Nimbus]

I dont really know too much about Rohl, other than what I have read on here. I think it will be him though based on all the noise, previous attempt at hiring him etc.

I've talked myself into Cooper though. I think we need to realise where we are and who we are.

No more Temu Man City, No more "Heavy Metal Football" No more philosophy's.

Just focus on being a team capable of challenging for the title next season, be humble and adaptable in the PL and build from there. Cooper ticks those boxes for me.

There remains an elephant in the room pushing levers and sticking his trunk where it's not wanted - Rasmus has not gone away and is likely to be in the ear of Spors.

It won't only be player sales, we have a massive financial advantage over 21 of the other clubs in terms of year 1 parachute payments allowing for a bigger wage budget. Plus bigger commercial and matchday income than the majority of the other clubs.

Yes true, but if we're not able to shift some of our unwanted players we'll be using up some parachute payments paying inflated wages. 

I think we used loan market well in our last championship season, the likes of THB, Downes and Brooks , are we allowed 5 loans ? Hopefully can utilise that again
