quick runner, slowed play down well couple of times but didn't look part of the team at all

Although Hull City were still in the Premier League when Brown was sacked earlier this year, he would consider returning to management in League One and is now hoping to speak with Southampton chairman Nicola Cortese. Southampton have no preferred candidate at this stage but Cortese would like Southampotn's next manager to promote an attacking style of football and to have past experience of winning promotions. Hull City were 22nd in the Championship when Brown was appointed in 2006 and, within two years, he had guided them into the Premier League. “I was very surprised on Monday morning to hear Alan Pardew had been sacked but Southampton would be a fantastic opportunity for someone who has the ambition to get back to the Premiership so of course I would be interested,” said Brown. "I would like to think I’ll get an opportunity to speak to Southampton and hearing what they have to say. Southampton were unfortunate to find themselves in League One, for whatever reason, but it is a club steeped in tremendous history and tradition

now Hart 4/5 Brown 3/1 Shearer 5/1 Zola 6/1

Howe "not worth me commenting as saints may even be interested in me" - come and get me???

that seems one of the most bizarre posts on here

Fergie and Arsene

that's a busy day!

No date fixed was re solent forum

Solent saying def not this week, maybe not next

No its not, no date fixed.

Nigel Reo Coker was good player at West Ham

16 year old who came on as sub was man of the match - say a lot

Brown has stated he is interested.

feel bit more relaxed about it now!

in the world? No.

sky just reported the Hart thing again

why did he sack him this week then? Not after Orient, or in close season? I am not burying my head just admitting (unlike some others on here;)) that I do not have a clue what is going on or what Cortesse thinks or what has been said within the club. Not sure what (not re-read the thread) I have got wrong (apart from thinking Wotte would steady us!!) still don't think Cortesse was going to sack in summer - he didn't!!

heard Pardew had applied for Villa job - and others recently

yes on rumour thread. still foavourite tho

not really, still can't see any reason why - if he wanted to get rid of him last season, or close season - he wouldn't have done. in fact sacking after 4-0 away win makes it seem even more likely that something suddenly happened - a complaint, a row etc

As of 2.15 for those who can't access Hart -evens Brown/Shearer both 3/1 Zola 4/1 Howe 7/1 Dowie 9/1

The former Stockport, Blackpool. Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday player has had a series of short managerial reigns in the 18 months. After being appointed permanent manager following his caretaker spell at The Saints south coast rivals Portsmouth in July 2009, he was dismissed after just 13 games in charge after only two wins. In under a month, Hart was back in employment being named QPR manager a day after Jim Magilton’s exit from the Championship club. He lasted only 5 games at Loftus road before leaving. In March, Hart joined Crystal Palace after Neil Warnock left to take Hart’s old QPR position. After the club entered administration the play-off battle was substituted for a relegation battle following the 10 point deduction. Given the task of keeping them in the league, he did so with a 2-2 draw with Sheffield Wednesday, a result which relegated the hosts, a game they had to win to send Palace down in their place. Since July 2009, spanned across his three Clubs Hart had overseen 22 games, his clubs have won just 6 times. Prior to Portsmouth promotion Hart had a 16 game spell in charge of Rushden, where they won 4, drew 4, lost 8. He began his managerial career in charge of Chesterfield, where he achieved his highest win percentage of his managerial career 34.24%. He was sacked in 1991 following a disagreement with his chairman. Ten years later, with a spell at Leeds United’s youth academy (which provided most of the players for their David O’Leary reign) Hart became Nottingham Forest manager succeeding David Platt. In February 2004 he was sacked and later took over at Barnsley
