This.

Horrific.

His win %age alone is impressive especially at Roma. He was only sacked at Roma for no wins in 6 I think, after 2 or 3 years. Remind me what Koeman's win record was over that Nov/Dec/Jan period just gone?

Being born in 1976, my 'first' manager was obviously Lawrie, but the first manager I had an opinion on was Souness - really didn't want him after his dismantling of Dalglish's very good Liverpool team.

Maybe he knows who the manager could be as part of getting hi to join?

The internet is full of very needy people.

He hasn't gone yet, which makes me think he's not going anywhere.

+ all this whinging about booing Pochettino etc., I wish I could find quotes where he said it was poor form. Poor form because he knew his time would come ... t*t. Oh well, f**k him, he's gone, onwards and upwards (?)

I like Bertrand more and more each season, seems like a top bloke.

I for one, want to keep him around, even with his little strops when someone doesn't pass to him Not many players want to remain loyal to a club, we should keep those that want to be and still have something to offer, a no-brainer for me.

Especially as, and this is the crucial bit, he doesn't want to leave and we have a player who WANTS to stay ... !

Rushed through to stop him going to Everton along with some other of our targets??

On one hand I say "what an utter two-faced c*ck", but on the other, we can look at the poor periods of his tenure this season and despite the final placement in the league, hope for someone even better!

How about World Cup 2022: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-36516006 Blatter, what a c*ck.

Absolute rubbish from them and obviously someone who has never moved companies and been in a position to take clients or staff with them. Anything is possible, it would simply be a case of not being allowed to poach Saints players or staff except those named (i.e. the 3 management potentially leaving) and if that were broken, then Saints would sue for recovery of lost funds, cost of recruiting a replacement, cost of that player's contract etc etc etc. It's all possible.

This is more likely than 'contract issues' in my view.

No you didn't, you said "good video", you massive f*cking helmet.

Who gives a f**k?

To be fair, Leicester (and Ranieri) were a 5000-1 exception to most rules!

Hauled off at half time, then never seen again for the rest of the season!

The players hating the manager thing is stupid. How many people do actually, really like their manager at work anyway? Whatever level you're at, your manager will always have moments where they're a complete c**t to you or a colleague in order to get things done and we've all had to use the stick approach to management occasionally as not everyone responds to the carrot. Mane I imagine is someone who needs an occasional rocket up his backside, just an observation though. Besides, I imagine all the players absolutely loved Alex Ferguson, right?? He never kicked a boot at his star player, he never brought them to task with the infamous 'hairdryer treatment' ... if you don't like your manager, genuinely, you leave. But if you think he's a d*ck but you can see the results which end up helping you and your colleagues, you stay. Generally speaking.

I honestly have no idea why we wouldn't give him a few more years on his contract? It's odd really. He's a very good striker who has had a couple of barren patches, but who the f**K are we going to replace him with? Whilst I can't see him starting every game, he's got a) the know-how to play others through to score, b) is a proven Premier League scorer himself and c) when he comes off the bench, he worries defences. Get him signed up.

No need to respond really, Twitter is pretty pointless.

Show off.

I'd be surprised if he left, now. This must surely be pushing for a new contract talk?
