    If you believe the OS, specifically what Wotte said, his contract with the club as "a coach" continues whether he is manager or not.

     

    He was most explicit about that. He is a Saints employee on July 1st even if he's not the "Head Coach" - unless he gets bought out.

     

    It's a bit of a long commute from Egypt though

    Sorry, if already been posted....

     

    SSN says Keegan was at St. Mary's yesterday, so we're no longer reliant on a grainy photo of him outside Matty's house to establish a connection.

     

    Who is SSN's source for that sighting? Did they not have a camera with them?

    Ok...page 9....time for a conspiracy theory....

     

    Supposing the Kevin Keegan pictures were leaked to the press by Pinnacle as a smokescreen for the real 'surprise' managerial appointment....

     

    Surely they wouldn't want to disappoint people by coming up with a ruse that was seen as a better manager appointment than the real one - just think of the reactions of fans coming down from the high of us netting Keegan if we were really getting Tisdale (for example)

     

    So, by process of logical deduction, IF this is an 'inside job' decoy then we can only expect an even more spectacular appointment than Keegan tomorrow.

     

    God I'm good at this malarkey.

    No one seems to have latched onto the fact that the pictures on the front page of the Echo do not show 'Keegan' in the same shot as Le Tissier or Crouch (as far as I can tell from the poor picture quality). He is on his own standing next to a Lexus 4x4 '07' reg (from what I can make out)

    Keegan linked to Saints takeover

     

    Former Southampton chairman Leon Crouch has refused to comment on speculation suggesting that Kevin Keegan may make a sensational return to the club.

    Local newspaper reports have linked the relegated League One club with their former star player of the early 1980s.

    Current boss Mark Wotte's contract runs out on 30 June, and he is due to clarify his position with the club's intended new owners on Friday. But Crouch's Pinnacle group insist Keegan has not had a formal approach.

     

    Article continues here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/8106934.stm

     

    Never heard it referred to as "Crouch's Pinnacle Group" before....I for one would welcome Crouch back on board.
