Given that every living football manager on the planet has been named on here quite frankly I'm not surprised.... ;-)

73 posts was the accepted threshold in the "Paul Allen era".... ;-)

Unlike Pardew.... ;-)

The author starts off in 'sensationalist conjecture' mode before concluding that "other more understandable factors" (or words to that effect) may be involved in Pardew's departure. Nothing new to see here....

Foreign Manager - Zola Wow Factor Manager - Kevin Keegan Up & Coming English Manager - Ryan Giggs (ok, ok....I know he's Welsh but he's not 'foreign' either)

How about Ryan Giggs? Being lined up as longer term Wales manager. Has already got some coaching badges and an aspirational third tier club would be an ideal place to hone his coaching skills. Best of both worlds: a big name in the game but not a 'big head' manager (yet) so would fit into Cortese's 'all for one, one for all' management structure. Oh, and he could also put on a Saints shirt for the rest of the season... Several birds killed with one stone there. I like your thinking Lord Trousers.

Just to clarify via anyone who knows Nick... When there's a 'breaking news' story about SFC and the media want a view from an SFC fan what actually happens? Do Sky, BBC, etc, either: (a) wait for a fan to contact them saying: "Hi, I'm a fan of SFC. Would you like to interview me?" Or (b) look up on their list of "official fan spokesmen" for the SFC 'rep' and find Nick's name and contact details If it's (b), does Nick (on picking up the phone) say: "yeah, no probs, fire away" or does he say: "are you sure you want to speak to me again? I've heard quite a few fans would rather someone else represents their views every now and then. It's not right that one man should do this media role for so long. Here's a list of other fans you may want to contact so that you get a broader set of opinions each time" Anyone know how it plays out? Just curious. Edit: I'm thinking this is probably the root cause of the vitriol you see on here at times regarding Nick. In that he possibly never questions the media as to their use of him and him alone as 'fan spokesman'. Just a thought.

Did he get his season ticket restated then? What was the explanation as to why it was recalled? (sorry if I missed the conclusion to this situation whilst on holiday last month)

Just picked him up on the CCTV...

You silly arse. ;-)

Is it (d) Deppo? ;-)

If he can't 100% guarantee it then he can't categorically say it won't happen. FFS

On the look out for new signings for us already?

Will someone change the thread title at midnight?
