Give it to Ron

I hated Strachan before he came here....after many years of watching him as a player winding up others - moaning - getting at refs etc....exactly the same as Ince. Groaned when he took over.....jumped for joy when we got Burley.....think we all should just wait and see what unfolds. Personally at the moment I just want the deal done and worry about the rest later.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/8107552.stm Armstrong interview on the BBC

I can undrstand Armstrong and Trevor Mitchell not getting on ;-)

Interviewed Mick Channon on tv at Ascot earlier he said that KK never mentioned anything about it a couple of days ago when he spoke to him. He followed that up with well everything about this deal is a secret and he really hoped it all came off and what a great club this is. You could see the love for this club shine through in the interview.

South Today mentioned it could be completed in hours...by that I take it tomorrow. Armstrong thought Keegan is what we need so not sure where the don't get on comment came from on another thread

Yep and the Exeter fans I read reviews from all attributed the success to Perryman....... As I said I personally want us to shoot for the moon we need to realise to keep picking the Wotte/JP/Dodd/Gorman/Gray/Wigley option is why we got here.

Just said on Meridien that there will be an announcement of some sorts tomorrow but they expect more news on Monday? An extension been granted??

So how many games have you watched this season...ok I understand you are away a lot but you often form an opinion. You read ...watch tv...talk to people that were there?

What like you were championing JP after the West Ham friendly how many games in was that? Like you were praising Wotte? rolley eyes thing....for the record I don't think Tisdale is the answer either.

So if its a case of just throwing money at it ...why did Chelse not win the Prem, why are Newcastle so ****e considering the money spent? Money is very important when you are in the Premiership...but in League 1 I am not convinced its the be all and end all. Keegan has experience, can attract players to the club, can get bums on seats which adds revenue.....thats why I want him coupled with the fact his managerial record is very good compared to others. Seeing as you mentioned him Hoddle had loads of dosh at Wolves and Burley spent a fortune here ...not quite that simple as putting a statue in charge is it?

One of your reasons was that Keegan was a quitter then you said you would select someone who was sacked by England, Tottenham and Wolves and quit Southampton...you can see why I find a problem with your logic cant you. PS I still think this story is a smokescreen.

What ...can you tell me what Hoddle has won in management compared to this for Keegan ? Managerial career Newcastle United Winner * Division One: 1992–93 Runner Up * FA Charity Shield: 1996–97 Fulham Winner * Second Division: 1998–99 Manchester City Winner * Division One: 2001–02

Not as much as Wotte staying on as manager concerns me.. ;-)

This is the bit that worried me ...KK at SMS yesterday and no-one noticed? Now the paranoia in me is wondering whether this is all a smokescreen....We would of apponted KK if we had taken over - unfortunately we could not complete as the terms Mr Fry offered were not acceptable or do this in time so have to leave this deal? Or has this been released to put pressure on Fry to grant extension? I have not seen any denial from KK though and only TL text to Radio Solent denying anything. However Solent are now stating they believe he will take over.....its all weird.

Working at Mullards(Phillips) the rumour went round and the place was in total disbelief at first which turned to amazement and joy once it sunk in.

well the concourse service in the Kingsland is atrocious...especially since they shut the bottle bar.

Well he had the same opportunity to do so and his silence has been deafening in our hour of need so.....mind you there is a massive difference granted in terms of the two. Its the same as having a shareholder on the board isn't it meaning they have bought shares to get on it....LC contributed to keeping us afloat.

Just pandering to GM at the moment...but am concerned by several posts on here this morning.

Ok well done you were right.....does that make you feel better? Can you tell me what satisfaction that gives you.....your ego is as big as the last Chairman we had. This is a small representation of Saints fans and to want to be held up as a guru on here is pretty sad...you had the gall to criticise Wilde for doing the same!

Isn't Bart out of contract? KD/Forecast(who really worries me)/Poke(serial loanee)

You haven't quite got used to this forum have you? Look up a couple of threads at the sticky

Southend away on a Saturday in October....good weekender there!
