Mainly in Greece though - jumped/sacked a few times. Most managers promote youth if they have no other options. Sorry nothing to excite me and would have Moyes over him.

doggface Posted 14 June, 2016 Share Posted 14 June, 2016 WTF such a love in for Gary Neville from some? Just 'cos he talks a good game on MNF!? ****e at Valencia for 5 minutes and assistant to Woy hardly makes him qualified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washsaint Posted 14 June, 2016 Share Posted 14 June, 2016 Valverde could be very interesting - he has been linked with Real Madrid (hence the new contract) but the new contract is only until June 2017. Learnt under Cruyff and played for Barcelona and has done really good stuff at Bilbao. Sure this is all made up but sounds like just the sort of manager we would go for and seems to fit the SOuthampton Way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityRanger Posted 14 June, 2016 Share Posted 14 June, 2016 Not a hipster name at all and I'll probably get pelters but Mark Warburton hasn't been mentioned? Earning a good reputation and apparently plays a good style but would he make the famous Black Box? I think he'd be ahead of the inexperienced Giggs/Neville suggestions at least.

SNSUN Posted 14 June, 2016 Share Posted 14 June, 2016 I will confidently predict that, who ever we appoint, there will be people on here who are underwhelmed. I don't think there was hardly anyone that was underwhelmed when Koeman joined, which shows that it is possible to find someone to bring in that unites the fan base. Who that is, i don't know. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?50673-Koeman-Appointed&highlight=Koeman#.V2BsTHp4WrU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
