Convict Colony

I will always like Vic, good luck to him served us well for 3 yrs and joining with a manager who he already knows in the champs league. Think he has been bought as more of a squad player though with Dier and Dembele in front of him at the moment.

the way it is going it will be yoshida and martina

**** maybe i will put some money to Pereira as a hedge against my puel bet. Edit just have at 12-1

It will be Puel, reputation for developing players both youth and established and staying at clubs a while. Won the league with Monaco and Champs League Semi with Lyon. Managed Monaco/Lille/Lyon/Nice

Yes Skacel put us off signing another Rudi

Deschamps is ****, payet is keeping him in a job at the moment, him and wilmots are vying for the worst coach of the tournament so far.

I love this photo as i can imagine Jan going what the **** is this dump as he surveys the gym.

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport 17s hope not many people put money on Rudi Garcia to be next #saintsfc boss - I don't believe he's in the running

If you average out Puels points per game across his club that would get us 60pts if he performed to his average, solid foundation.

Just scouted the Nice forum and they said Puel had asked his agent to find him an English club.

just put 30 on Puel so that is Garcia nailed on

Trying to not get too excited but this random frenchman just posted this on twitter, yes I know but this dude seems legit. galluzzi olivier ‏@oligal06 28m28 minutes ago Claude Puel dans un vol Nice-Londres ce matin , signature imminente en Première League ?? @infosportplus @lequipe21 @beinsports_FR

After reading that article I defo like the sound of Puel

Rudi or Claude, quality names

As a massive africon fan he is a legend

Or this dude, think I saw him mentioned earlier - Frances answer to Klopp - Jocelyn Gourvennec I'll get my coat just seen he's taken over bordeaux

What about Christophe Galtier at the eternal youth production facility known as Saint Etienne. He has been in the press recently talking about looking for a new challenge ? "Christophe Galtier has kept Saint-Etienne in the upper echelons of Ligue 1, breathing down the necks of the financially buoyed Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco despite having a fraction of their budgets. He's made astute signings since his became the club's manager, picking up bargain buys and making them look like €10-15 million players." Sounds decent, non ?

Things I have learnt recently is that it seems to take ages to appoint managers, Koeman, Emery, Sampoli etc.

Not yet, just rumours of meetings etc

Just posted by Jan !!! Jan Kluitenberg ‏@jankluit 31m31 minutes ago Apeldoorn, Nederland I was the last weeks on holiday, family matters and a lot of phone calls. Had to read all messages you send to me. I promise to inform you.. And to add to this isnt Apeldoorn where someone was saying we were going to be based for Pre-Season ?

yeah agree this should be moved and lets focus on the new manager thread

Looks like according to Spanish media Paco will become the next coach of Granada !! https://twitter.com/isaacfouto?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Gonna ask Roy to reimburse me for all the beer i drank. Same old result for us and I won't be surprised if we lost to wales on Thursday.
