Nolan

I presume he ignored the 5, 19 year olds who were in the Galatasaray squad for the second half of last season.... I bet he didn't even speak to 19 year Bruno, who got 3 assists from the right wing last season... Poor Bruno

I fully expect him to be dropped from the Croatian team to face Brazil in 24 hours if he really has taken time out of his world cup camp to write a transfer request.

he doesn't? He played an offensive 4-3-3 at the end of the season. after playing a 4-3-1-2 and 4-2-3-1 too. he's only 49 and i'm sure he'll really like to prove a point to Man City...

You don't think its more than a coincidence that hours after Reed said paperwork was nearly complete, and 2 days after Mancini comiited his future to Galatasaray, and a whole month after the Turkish season finished, he resigns?

Bet 365 have been at odds with other betting shops. Tuchel was 12/1 at skybet at midnight this morning.

I stand corrected... That'll teach me not to read an article too quickly http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11903/9320545/bundesliga-mainz-agree-settlement-with-former-boss-thomas-tuchel

Tuchel is a free agent. Sky Sports reported he reached a settlement on the 21st may after having resigned from Mainz previously.

Got a feeling that Les set out his stall yesterday to pre empt an unexpected appointment today. Les seemed quite a lot more hesitant when it came to his preamble about friendlies, as soon as the topic went on to managers the assuredness bolstered massively. Not to mention the timing of release mid evening was more than a bit curious.

If Shaw is Given £160,000 and Rooney is on £300,000 I'd expect a lot of hissy fits from a lot of other Man U players wanting the same... it'll be like watching the football club version of internal combustion.

It has been a while since Men Behaving Badly... Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk

I hope Saints have told Shaw and Lallana to have the stones' "you can't always get what you want" on their playlists this summer. Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk

http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/2088539-scouting-report-will-emmanuel-mayuka-be-southamptons-most-improved-player Bleachers report on Mayuka is more impressive than his last season stats suggest.

Personally I thought Sherwoods verbal aggressions against his players were counter productive last season. I can only envision it effecting a smaller squad more.

Why have Steve Bruce's Odds massively shortened to 20/1 ?

They'll probably update just after 9. Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk

http://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/southampton/next-permanent-manager Koemans has shortened in the majority of outlets overnight

it is Rubbish the last thing about Lovren on HRT (Croatian State Media) was that he was contracted to Saints for 3 more years and that his future was down to the club, not him. http://sport.hrt.hr/klub-ce-odluciti-o-mojem-eventualnom-transferu

He's also the reporter who wrote this article on Saints in December http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/25420261 I wonder if that was around the time that Cortese was being challenged by Miss Liebherr? Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk

Erm, the croatian state owned media was reporting exactly the same as the UK media. That he was under contract and any decisions on his future is down to Saints. Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk

So they spoke to moyes and didn't like him then. His agent is protecting him by spreading information that fits your agenda. And that is the worst case scenario Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk

Hopefully because Koemans has accepted the job. Oddschecker has him at evens at bet Fred and bet Victor 5/6 at sky bet and 4/6 at bet 365 Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk

Can I offer an apology to CIattenburg? Lallana has changed since pulling on that England shirt. Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk

Take the quote as a whole " Whilst I perceive that we have inherited a difficult situation financially, there are now clear and structured plans in place to progress the Club and avoid a similar situation from occurring again. The continued support of the Ultimate Shareholder cannot be underestimated, and we are grateful to be able to rely on their dedication to helping us flourish as a Club" That sounds like money to spend to me.

Point me to any statement that said we aren't going to spend money. Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk

So I'm getting from this thread that some people are happy to believe the media when it comes to player sales, but not when it comes to spending... Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
