Would def take Brooks back but yes I believe it's Birmingham - making him persona non grata in and around West Bromwich!

PR machine in full swing..

What did happen to Guan and Kbilly?

Any danger of a rumour?

It's a firm no for me but even if I did entertain it, his record at Almeria was pretty similar to SR, if not worse. This was lifted from Daily Echo's story on it: "Alalshikh was owner of Egyptian club Pyramids from 2018 to 2019, and owned Spanish club UD Almeria between August 2019 and May 2025. Almeria won promotion from the second tier in 2022 but were relegated back out of La Liga, and finished sixth this season in Liga Segunda." Also, for those saying he'd be great just because of his wealth - let’s not forget, old mate Dragan has a similar net worth. There’s no reason to believe this guy would throw in significantly more. And to be fair to SR, spending money hasn’t really been the issue - it’s how that money’s been spent. Be careful what you wish for - this isn’t what Southampton needs.

Another term for Roll...? (ROHL)

Going to need more on this..

Not that it means much but Paddy Power suspended betting on next Southampton manager

I think the OP is messing about here - yes we would get out of the Championship at first time of asking but he means the wrong way..

I see Graeme Bailey is beating the Lampard drum again... Don’t get me wrong, he did a decent job at Coventry, but let’s not forget he still lost 9 games - that’s nearly a third of his matches. Sure, 16 wins is impressive, but I really think we need someone who can make us solid and hard to beat, which hasn’t been the case in what feels like a thousand years. I agree with those who say Mark Robins laid the groundwork, and Lampard just gave the team a short-term boost. Honestly, I really don’t think Frank Lampard is the right fit for us.

Has anyone seen this Gary O'Neill stuff? https://www.sportsboom.com/football/transfer-news-rumours/exclusive-southampton-want-sheff-wed-manager-danny-rohl-as-their-new-boss/ It would be on brand for Sport Republic to not read the room and employ a Pompey legend.

I think this is very much a factor

I have a suspicion we're after Lampard.
