Saint Charlie

When looking for a new Manager its quite interesting for everyone. If people don't want links to the stories thats fine, I can just read myself. Thought people may find them of interest to read?

They should just combine the threads and have one Manager thread for all of it. Was just trying to help anyone who only saw one of the threads. Apologies if you were offended, not intending to duplicate.

True, but if they speak so often you would think it might have come up! Especially given how FdB has been hyping himself for every other PL job.

True. Have amended. Would be odd not to have mentioned to his agent though if Reed speaks to him regularly. Vitor Pereira mentioned also: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vítor_Pereira_(football_manager)

De Boer's Agent: Saints not interested (yet): http://m.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/14544812.Saints_not_interested_in_De_Boer__reveals_agent/?ref=twt Mods: can we merge the two Manager threads?

Good Manager...but not for us IMO. Would undeniably be a huge step down from Pochettino and Koeman.

The Moose will probably eat Adrian Clarke on his way out, whilst a hungover Brazil cuts to a Selco advert.

Of course not. Would wish him well. Just wouldn't actively look to sell unless we bring in someone better and largely that would cost a lot of money. Pelle will start as the Italy no9 at the Euros, albeit in a squad below their usual quality. Teams like Saints shouldn't actively be looking to sell proven strikers like that IMO especially as we will get about £8m for him. His worth in the squad is higher than that. But as above if he wanted to go and went to a big Italian side then all the best to him. But letting him go to Everton or Stoke would a silly decision.

Yeah he wouldn't be everyone's choice but if the Club rate him as highly as has been stated it would be a shame for them to not even be able to speak to him. I want them to get their first choice rather than mine.

I don't really get that. Not like we have a queue of reliable (performance and fitness wise) strikers. You know what you get with Pelle. Fair enough if he goes but can't fathom why anyone would actively want to get rid of him? If Austin matches Pelle's record from the past two seasons he will have done very well. Of the two I would have Pelle.

Bournemouth Echo usually very close to everything at Bournemouth. Will.probably be another one where they claim he turned us down but we didn't actually offer anything. Although so far quite a few have denied interest which hopefully isn't the case.

Its a massive positive as shows the strength of the candidate pool...as long as we don't actually end up with him.

Given his current ability and (quite easily achieveable) potential, selling for £30m would be poor. We got £25m for Lallana who was a very good player, but Mane is capable of a completely different level.

Quite a robust player too. Hasn't missed many games and I get the impression he has played through quite a few knocks. For what we paid and considering he didnt have experience of a league this strong, he has been really good.

The Mirror tend to just chuck so much content out every day for clicks that its hard to really trust apart from a couple of their Journos and Darren Lewis isn't one. Says we expect to lose Wanyama to Spurs, the other day it was Leicester.

@GFFN: Unai Emery will sign his PSG contract tomorrow, according to La Sexta https://t.co/2IZgDFTEgJ

If he wants to stay I would definitely keep him. If he wants to go then I would wish him well at a big Italian side as he hasnt really succeeded in his homeland before. Has been a really good signing, effectively replacing a club legend. Imagine the club would feel similar. Would be decent to get our money back on someone who is out of contract next summer. Would need a replacement though obviously with the extra European games.

Would be amazing to get Mane on a new deal but would still be suprised tbh. Long should be easier to tie up and that would be good too.

No idea if he is a good Coach but having Dennis Bergkamp at the club would be pretty special.
