Pards was doing it for me....Not perfect but in the right direction.. A new man will have more than team/selection problems to sort out... Big decision for a manager/coach to come here now with all that is going on at the club... He has not even been cleared by the selection panel on this forum yet.. Whatever happens let us all pray for the best... Come on you Saints..

Heard the same speeek when Rupes brought in the 10 year plan with the Dutch boyzzz.... The manager is now going to be really important to us now and that position has now been watered down to suit another long term project..

Phil would like a list supplied.. re various locations that the half time talks can be held...

Not so sure about training..... Told he went to see his solicitor about suing Pompey about the mess they caused....allegedly.. Same source was told he turned up for training with Pompey and saw the shambles and drove the short distance to the ground of Eastleigh and asked if he could sign for them...... The League said you are not allowed to sign for a bigger club in this situation.. My source is a Pompey supporting lad ..so maybe not always helpful when talking about footer...

cheers derry...let us hope we get the tright coach for the first team and not one who has to change his style and personality to suit others... Someone in the mould of Pards...maybe a slight more flair but who can deal with our present squad + AND with a proper midfield battler..Tp sort Spiderman and Hammond out...is my view... Never understood your continued attack against Pards...but hey ho onwards we go with all our little choices... Hope your choice of Adkin OD or Howe works out.... Personally I would go with SOD but not so sure he would Kow Tow to Sir Less... Whatever you and I and our friends on this forum and in the stadium want what is best for Saints...So lets go with the flow and PRAY.... nOTHING PERSONAL BY THE WAY ..i DO Like you even those you are not as good a coach as me or Pards.... PS IF we get a manager who gets a couple of results.......some will say..look he is better than Pards.. Continues to lose..some will say ...look it is Pards team stiil and his style of play.... Me thinks for some reason you did not like Pards...style of play.....my arssse..enal

Rooney is more worrying for the players wives than some old boy like Pards...BOOOOLLLLIXXX aS PER THE CRAAAPPP THAT CAME OUT OF West Ham supporters and some on this forum.. Fonte can surely make his own mind up about the potential of our new coaching messiah Sir Less....I am sure the other players will earn their money whoever takes over under Sir Less...

Who are these idiots who keep choosing these so called pooor managers you speak of... OR are we going to get more poor selection..... Once again I am curious of who you would chose to be our glorious new leader..... Any favourites from your school of coaching or are you firmly in the Reed and Merrington school of youth coaching.. Just interested coach....please tell me who would satisfy your craving for your style of play...

derry old boy ... please let me know who you want in to be Manager...... It might just be easier to live with than all these other second raters.... To me you will always be the man when it comes to football coaching.... Will you be able to work with Sir Less?

Nice.... I knew where you would park your chopper but not so sure about your BMX after you had ridden to the ground from the heliport...

Hypothetical (is that the right spellin, I wonder?) If you were offered the vacant position....where would you park your pedal cycle?

KKs car parking needs may well be the stumbling block..

MON would take the job without hesitation but stipulated our DOF be demoted to tea person... Ethel the tea lady is not amused having a Director of Tea above her in our new management structure.

I would have mentioned nickh but he is not sure who he is anymore and far toooo old for the role..

The forum match must give you a clue.......dubai_ phil= up and coming English Manager. Not so sure about his opposite number in those forum matches...... I understand that the bookies have dubai_phil, our next Saints Head coach.. at 5 mil-1 worth a punt.. Led to believe he would definitely need a DOF who knew what he was doing.

I am sure the FA will pass this as their fax machine is faulty by at least 20 minutes.....allegedly...

Pards probably will not write a book until he recovers from his wound between his shoulder blades is my guess but then again the compensation will probably take care of that... Evidence started with a committe being formed to select the side......tactics,and trainingfollow on from that when the committee selects the side...

Not mischief-making at all.......honest.. Totallyagree..Perryman is a mentor to Tisdale.. up to a point and invaluable in many areas of Exeter City Football club.... The general interpretation of a Director of Footbal......Perryman is ideal in many areas and if Reed was to play a similar role then I would be pleased for our future... Sorry but you are wrong and so are your Exeter City supporting colleagues.....Perryman does not select/coach the first team..solely down to Tisdale.. Yes...Perryman does mentor/support/encourage Tisdale and has admitted many times in various papers/circles that the first team is Tisdales domain.. He is definitely a great influence on the young Tisdale and particularly in the early days. He does not encroach on Tisdales area or undermine him...He has no equal standing as Tisdale in first team area or attempted to water down Tisdales management of the football team.. I really don't understand your statement re mischief-making......The tracksuit/tactics was a joke..... They will simply run Wilkins( as they are now) from their position in the stand or any other puppet here after.. Reed maybe a great coach.director trainer of football coach personnel/badge awards....He is not a first team coach or manager and should leave that to the first team manager/coach.. But then again if you get a VERY young coach/player manager then mentoring/support/encouraging would be alright in my eyes..ala Perryman/Tisdale... We need a manager/coach to run the first team and not some past his sell by date wannabe manager running a puppet.... Reed should stick to his title job description and not be part of any group/committe undermining the running of the first team.. Go continental by all means but let the first team manager get on with it...

For example....Exeter.. Tisdale is the Manager and head coach....He goes to Perryman/committee for possible purchase of prospective players.. Perryman is the buffer between Tisdale and effectively the board.. Perryman gives advice/lends support to Tisdale and sometimes suggests players etc..As others do..Tisdale makes his own mind up even though he does not always get the player he wants for various reasons.. Perryman does not coach/select the first team/select incoming players/decide tactics.. Tisdale is Exeter City Football team Manager/coach..There is not a selection group or interference with his running of the football team.. At Saints with Pards all the above applied ..until......And that is why I suggest Mr Reed and Cortese will be in and out of the changing room on match days with Gold lettering on their tracksuits carrying their team tactics/team selection asking the spongeman to sit in the corner and only speak when given permission.. Tisdale is the BOSS of the football team and has the final say without any interference from Perryman or Directors..

As someone stated....It is what Rupes wanted to do with Rugby Clive.. My point is that Characters like Woodward and Reed will not assist/imput but slowly run the show. Great managers/coaches may have worked within these type of systems at much higher levels.... Even these young and developing managers/coachs will get tired of being continually undermined/over ruled.. By all means the set up is fine but please do not let Reed anywhere near the first team or the CEO or I will be crying for Rupes and his Dutch boyzz to return ....At least they gave me a laugh..

Sorry to say..The club I love is becoming a joke....No wonder a very good manager like Pards is off.. Our Director of football.development wants to run the first team... The position should be there to support the first team manager/coach and not to run the show... In this position what is the point of appointing a new manager.....A puppet would be more appropriate.. Other clubs with a very good template... mentioned many times on this forum only remain top of the shop with a good manage/coach in total charge but with the right support/imput from CEO and Director.. Pards was right for us and yes I accept we move on but ..this does not look good to me..

Agree with you on this prof.... My biggest worry is that DOF Director of Development is not going to stay out of First team arena... Even if we get a Manager who suggests he can work with the system ..How soon will he be undermined ......At a much bigger club it works in a way but the top Managers still run the football team.. They continually watered down the authority of Pards and made his position untenable..

Only if allowed to take phots...

I liked Papa and thought he was useful to have around.....Lost no sleep when he wasn't signed.. Still think if he was that good other teams would have jumped in and signed him...maybe wages etc...Believe that Guly is in the same category.. Like Spiderman ..not really suited to the Div 1 type of play required to get results. Let us hope our new manager picks up a few good loan transfers to start the ball rolling.

I take it.. you like the idea of Smithy as the conditioning coach..... You will be pleased to hear that he will do motivational and team social sec as well.
