It would be nice to have a manager who has experience with European football at a similar size club as us. It would be great to go on a proper European adventure. Now that Koeman has gone hopefully we'll get cracking with the manager negotiations.

[TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD]Hi , As a 2016/17 Season Ticket holder, we wanted you to personally know about our recent club statement: Southampton Football Club can today confirm it has accepted the resignation of First Team Manager Ronald Koeman, and completed negotiations with Everton over his move to Goodison Park. The search has already begun for the right appointment who can take the club to the next level and build on our track record of recent success, which culminated in a sixth-place finish in last season's Premier League, as well as qualification for the group stages of the Europa League. Our focus now is to build on our long-term plan, and work with a new management team who share both the club's and our supporters' values and ambitions. #WeMarchOn [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

I#m happy with Redmond, he's a decent player and will hopefully get better playing with us. We need to bolster the squad a bit with the extra competition. Maybe we have a manager ready and he sanctioned the move?

His Twitter pic has changed as well. Ready for a reveal today?

Top lads. Great cause.

We played excellent tonight. Enjoyed the game but Roy did look to play out the 1 nil instead of carrying on the way we played for 90% of the game which kept us in total control. Should not have brought Milner on, Wilshire I understand but Kane Should have gone for vardy and sterling should've been hauled off with half an hour to go for someone who could pass. Roy set the team up brilliantly but ruined it at the end.

That would be 100 not pointless.

He's going to Swansea isn't he?

Bloody hope not!

Loyalty Bonus?!

Ha yeah, Koeman can retire in one seasons time by the looks of it.

I classed Koeman as a young coach and he's in his 50s isn't he? Anyone can be classed as young if they are stood next to Pellegrini, even though he's not as old as he looks.

I heard that Reed wasn't to worried about the situation even though it has come out of the blue, he has gone on holiday so obviously not too panicky. Ralph went a bit mental though and ordered all of Ron's possessions out of staplewood immediately.

I reckon the logo would look pretty decent on our shirts. Great deal and hopefully be worth a fair few million.

I'm sorry but why the clamour for Vitor Pereira? Doesn't seem to have a brilliant managerial background. What makes him perfect for Saints? Apologies if already stated pages ago.

Knowing saints and from what KBizzle said it will be someone not on the radar. Keep an eye on the 60-1 odds managers that start shortening due to kbilly and guan whacking their wads over them.

Nope. Looking forward to the start of the season and our European campaign. Love to win UEFA cup and get in champs league whilst Everton come 10th

"Have you seen how much they are going to pay me? Jeeshus!! I'll be well rich innit!"

Good man. Honour in football (forums) hasn't died. As My son has it http://www.tuberous-sclerosis.org/

Makes sense with everything that has gone on. In which case Ron's ambition will be about the money that was on offer. Could Albers have been sacked for being an honourable agent for a change?

Do we have recent history of going for the cheaper option then?

I really hope we have a new boss come the start of next season, or even before they come back for pre season. I would think someone will be in a week or two after Koeman has officially gone. BTW, the odds are 33-1 for Sammy to be the next manager.

If he got us relegated he would deserve to be sacked, we came 6th though. No bearing really.

And still 8-1 with coral. Whoever has a punt did it with PP. Interesting to watch to see where people are throwing their money as I spect we've only out feelers out at the mo and not actually spoken to anyone.
