Ui My opinion is on having agreed to the money, he has now actually seen the place and is contemplating a Volte face to manage Dynamo Damascus for a better work life balance...

Because inter alia it's just acquired Liberty Global! Plus generally, globally more punters know Virgin than Veho...

AVB has spoken very highly of Saints in the past, even comparing our academy to Barcelona and Sporting Lisbon. Would be happy to have him on board - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22410043

Proper international company. Well done Saints!

To be fair that accolade is probably taken by the bigger, more successful club in Liverpool, along with tying scarves to railing and candlelit vigils. Everton were however the first club to install plastic seats in 1896...

Good luck on achieving your destiny as the northern Aston Villa.

If anyone deserves a second chance at management it's Les. Ralph can also be involved as the waterboy and aerobics coach...

Spot on, and even when they were doing 'well' they seemed a horrible side, also rans, an arrogant Ipswich perhaps - the club of John Bailey and Adrian Heath. The latter of course is a name that gives Saints fans of a certain age who were at Highbury a nagging bitter memory. However, despite Heath's smash and grab they were second best on and off the pitch that day, and en masse they can certainly run fast!

Lol! Les Reed always reminds me of Gregg Wallace, he is to football what Gregg is to haute cuisine. By the same analogy I suppose Ralph is approaching Ainsley Harriot...

It's highly doubtful he'd live that long!

Would love Ron to stay, but if we have to replace him it's got to be Villas-Boas for me - his record over the past six years (Porto and beyond) is remarkably consistent and he would seem to be a good 'fit' potentially - tactically smart and lucid in front of the media. I would also not be unhappy with De Boer, who like AVB is currently out of contract and 'awaiting the next challenge.' I think it's safe to argue that in managerial terms both would be an upgrade on RK when he joined Saints, and let's not forget Southampton FC has been instrumental in strengthening the coaching careers of both RK and MP - we've been as good for them as they have for us!

Dark horse that Cumberbatch!...

If Venables had included Le Tissier in that side they might have had enough to win it. Very frustrating at the time.

If we now don't Ralph has got a lot to answer for!

At the moment six places, sixteenth points and a Europa place above a nobody spouse team, and two places, three points and a Europa place above a deluded scouse team. Maybe with their history Everton could get David Starkey to manage them, more chance of that than Ronald Koeman...

I'd sooner have a video message from Ron, to be honest...

Koeman and Bertrand have won the trophy!

Les 'Carnarvon' Reed and The Curse of Tutankoeman...

Is it called The Grand Old Team Forum because it's based at a residential care home? 'I tell you what, we are going to win the league, that Pepe Gardinola going to be the manager, big club we are!'. 'Of course you are, now that's enough please Mr O'Malley, now sit down, and take your tablets.'...

Operation Yewtree, Merseyside edition...

It is indeed. If Lollana is still at Liverpool next season we can rightly sing 'Oh Lallana, went to Liverpool and he won f*ck all' - shortly before his big transfer to Hull. Barmbyesque!

Yes, credit it to them. For a mid table club that have never won the Premier League, losing in the two secondary cup competitions is not to be sniffed at...

Yes, well done BM, it is appreciated!

Class act, and I hope he is here for a decade!
