OldNick Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Iam forwarding what i heard last night in Bournemouth. The information has come from someone having no connection with anybody at SFC but someone who is connected in football circles. This will only happen if one particular consortium gets the club and so they have to win the bidding for this to happen. He has been mentioned loads of times on here and seen at the club for months now.He lives in Christchurch . Steve Cotterill. Dont shoot the messenger. Iam very confident of the person who told me and has no need to lie.
Bailey Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 If this consortium has been readying it's bid for the club for some time, it would explain why Cotterill has been at almost all of our home games in recent months.

saints_is_the_south Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 I'd take Cotterill but he wouldn't be my first choice i must admit.
NickG Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Can't say huge amount about him but his record is not jumping out at me looks like he did v well with Cheltenham up to 2002, anyone know whether he has been out of work for personal choice or not sought after?
bridge too far Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Thats Coppel BTF and you know it! Yes I know it is - I misread the OP and now have an omelette on my face big stylee :oops: But Steve Coppell would be OK wouldn't he
krissyboy31 Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 thats steve coppell Well there is rumours that he is about to call it a day at Reading. May be our new DoF?
NickG Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 think he was here looking at potential play off opponents.
Mister Neil Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Yes I know it is - I misread the OP and now have an omelette on my face big stylee :oops: But Steve Coppell would be OK wouldn't he Well there is rumours that he is about to call it a day at Reading. May be our new DoF? Just an observation so probably best not to get your hopes up too much but he sat at the back of the 'away' section in the directors box. He was with someone (don't know who) and stayed there during half time (most retreat into the hospitality area).
krissyboy31 Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 think he was here looking at potential play off opponents. Unfortunately, we didn't quite make it.
Mister Neil Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 think he was here looking at potential play off opponents. Agree - this is the only thing that I could think of at the time.
saints_is_the_south Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Cotterill Did well at Cheltenham & not too badly at Burnley.
madsent Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Cotterill was sacked by Burnley despite a good start. Mixed record, unsure about him. Could do worse though. Didn't Burnley go something like 20 games without a win with him as manager ? That kind of run would cost most managers their jobs. Just ask Chris Nicholl.

bridge too far Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 just realised the sky sports list was before much of this good season. Certainly would make me interested and optimistic - tempted to start a thread on him! I'd be your seconder
saints_is_the_south Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Exactly the sort we need, wouldn't come here though Ex Saints player, who knows? Even if he gets Exeter promoted I'd be willing to bet that he'd take the Saints job if offered it. As was posted the other day, with all due respect to Exeter, a Southampton with new owners/money in league 1 are a better & bigger prospect than Exeter in the same league.
NickG Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 I'd be your seconder done -we can leave Cotterill on this one!
angelman Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Paul Ince would be good. OK he didn't do too well in the Prem but at MK Dons he was spot on. He has proved himself at the lower leagues.
Lets B Avenue Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Didn't Burnley go something like 20 games without a win with him as manager ? That kind of run would cost most managers their jobs. Just ask Chris Nicholl. That run was 88-89. Chris was sacked at the end of 90-91.
Doctoroncall Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Paul Tisdale; product of our youth system only 36. learnt management trade in non-league with Bath - 4 promotions in 5 seasons his side plays attractive football losing in play off final in first season at Exeter won plays off in 2nd season - despite having to sell many players in play off position in his 3rd season definately on the way up, no failure/sacking baggage like most managers on of sky sports top ten football league managers http://www.skysports.com/interactive/top_tens_story/0,25722,15881_4214437,00.html not big name to attact big players but thats not where we are. Good shout, I'd add him to the list. Team Bath are the university side so he'll have plenty of experience dealing with the youngsters. Nice to see Jim Gannon in the Sky list. He's done very well on a budget of next to nothing. If not those two and an outsider, Stuart Baxter is looking for a challenge in nglish football.

Badger Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Paul Ince would be good. OK he didn't do too well in the Prem but at MK Dons he was spot on. He has proved himself at the lower leagues. Sorry but I get fed up with this crap about Ince at MK.The team was largely built by Martin Allen.
Crab Lungs Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Sorry but I get fed up with this crap about Ince at MK.The team was largely built by Martin Allen. Word. He's a billy big time, thick as two shi.ts knobber.
Doctoroncall Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 sign up for the campaign on other thread! Done! I don't want a big name Manager, it's going to be hard enough to get out of this division without a penalty and the oppostion will love playing against us (a "big" club). We need a Manager who understands what it's like to play in the lower leagues and has the nous to get us to the top of the table.
Gordon Mockles Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Paul Ince would be good. OK he didn't do too well in the Prem but at MK Dons he was spot on. He has proved himself at the lower leagues. Paul Ince is a t*sser! I'd rather have Jamie Redknapp. In fact, you do wonder when Harry speaks out (fair play to him) is he grooming him for football management?! Coppell wouldn't come to us I doubt, Cotterill wouldn't be a bad choice. We have to remember, it's League One, physical brute season 2010. Maybe we should bring back Sir Clive who could attract some big rugby players?! Kids pretty passing would result in sporting murder (and the remnants of our Dutch demise needs to be eradicated)
VectisSaint Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Just an observation so probably best not to get your hopes up too much but he sat at the back of the 'away' section in the directors box. He was with someone (don't know who) and stayed there during half time (most retreat into the hospitality area). Are you talking about Cotterill or Coppell? If Cotterill it could be because he was previously manager of Burnley, the away team I've been advocating Cotterill for a long time now (while Burley was still here), his local connections and his abilities in the League (as opposed to the Prem) are well documented. Is probably about the best realistic option unless we have loads of money.
Badger Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Cotterill might not be a bad option but I would have thought a prospective buyer might have been a little more ambitous. Would prefer Tisdale,but Cotterill would be next on my list of candidates.

Matthew Le God Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Cotterill might not be a bad option but I would have thought a prospective buyer might have been a little more ambitous. Would prefer Tisdale,but Cotterill would be next on my list of candidates. Appointing Tisdale hardly shows ambition.
NickG Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Appointing Tisdale hardly shows ambition. who does?
OldNick Posted 29 April, 2009 Author Posted 29 April, 2009 As i said it was only if the party who rated him got the bid accepted.I got the impression the people who would install him are not that flush with funds.I hope it would be somebody with good resources who win the day
NickG Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 I'd like Paul Ince as manager who apart from 21 games and sacking with Blackburn managed at the same level as Tisdale? Ince would be expensive and therefore I agree shows some intent for us to rise to a higher level
skintsaint Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 if we have a flashy new chairman with money lets go bold and get in Alan Irvine, especially if Preston dont make the playoffs.
krissyboy31 Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 if we have a flashy new chairman with money lets go bold and get in Alan Irvine, especially if Preston dont make the playoffs. Can't see us poaching anyone from a higher division. An ex Premiership or Championship manager that has been out of work for a while, possibly but not one currently in employment. If we were to poach a manager, they would, at best, be in the same division or lower. I think Tisdale would probably do a decent job but I also wonder whether he has the profile to attract decent players here or get the respect of the ones already here, who stay. On another thread I mentioned Ronnie Moore and I would still like to see someone of his ilk brought in.
egreog Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Roy Aitken......McLeish's assistant at Birmingham City.......bags of experience, captain of Celtic and Scotland......especially if Birmingham lose out on promotion
Jeff Le Taxi Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Who was the young Brentford manager that came here in a suit a few years ago in ith cup? liked his passion, i must say i'd prefer Le Tiss though!
Pancake Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Who was the young Brentford manager that came here in a suit a few years ago in ith cup? liked his passion, i must say i'd prefer Le Tiss though! Martin Allen?
OldNick Posted 29 April, 2009 Author Posted 29 April, 2009 I think Victor suggested Gary Speed. i know he has no experience but he is bright and could become a good manager
krissyboy31 Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 I think Victor suggested Gary Speed. i know he has no experience but he is bright and could become a good manager Not a bad shout.
lordswoodsaints Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 not better than what we have got imo. im sure that any consortium will want for us to be at least pushing for promotion to protect their investment money and i dont really think steve cotteril will be their choice for that task.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 If we're talking articulate, passionate about football and ex-Saints related, what about Graham Le Saux? Did he ever do his badges etc?
