I wish he hadn't mentioned that his wife's family are big Southampton fans. That's going to be quite a burden for me to carry on here. Be gentle with me guys. Cheers 👍

I'm not convinced that bringing back Shane, especially for that length of time, is the answer to our striker woes I'm afraid.

The Selles era ends with a win!

Cheers 👍

Yeah, but why has the forum server been a tad flaky of late...?

I think you'll find they directed my dear late Nan's funeral

https://www.toffeeweb.com/club/managers/moyes.php " When David Moyes took the reins at Everton in March 2002, he inherited a club in freefall, with relegation from the Premier League a very real possibility. Having survived the drop from the top flight twice in the 1990s, the Blues appeared to have steadied the ship folllwing the appointment of Walter Smith in 1998 but though Smith's managerial career in Scotland had been littered with trophies, he found life in England's top flight a good deal more challenging. Thanks to a run of just one League win in 13, his Everton side sat in 15th place when a 3-0 defeat at Middlesbrough in the FA Cup became the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back for chairman Bill Kenwright and he was dismissed, to be replaced by Moyes, then at Preston North End, three days later.

I voted unsure, mainly to annoy / trigger @Fitzhugh Fella, my friendly personal fence-sitter alert klaxon

It's taken me over 15 years but I think I've figured out how this internet football forum opinion malarkey works at long last. So, here goes, wish me well.... Absolutely dreadful appointment if we go for Jones. What on Earth are the club thinking FFS. Championship here we come. ("Told you so" and "Glad I was proven wrong'" cards duly poised)

Where's the fun in that for the "told you so" brigade?

Yup... https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/topic/58792-james-ward-prowse/page/56/

If theres any chance that this is an indirect leak by the club to test the water of fan reaction.... Here's one for them....

I'm more worried about the thread title being horribly out of date in a few days time

p.s. horrified that they are contemplating removing Bountys from the Celebrations tubs. They're the best ones in there FFS!

The purple one. Obviously

Maybe Ivan Mance (Göztepe's Sporting Director, to which the above quote is attributed) has been spending too much time talking to Roberto Gagliardi....? https://blog.transferroom.com/sport-republic-steps-up-multi-club-ownership-plans-with-mance-hire "Mance's exact role at Sport Republic is not yet known, although he will work closely with Roberto Gagliardi, the former Head of Football Operations at Portsmouth FC, who joined the group earlier this year as Head of Business Development."

Good example...

I guess the marketing meeting went something along the lines of: "It doesn't matter what we write, those webbed finger f***ers can't read anyway"...?
