Bookies odds on next Southampton manager
SaintRobbie replied to Matthew Le God's topic in The Saints
Bloody hell thats impressive as a CV. He'd need a man who knew the FL though as a sidekick. -
I hope Adam now focusses on Saints. With a new manager I know he will.
-
No the point is that we now dictate to our players who we keep and who we let go. We can now afford to retain players, whereas before when a player wanted out either Lowe would seize the cash or we had no choice due to finances. Now we can afford to tell players like Adam to get back in his box whilst under contract. We will sell him when we want to not when he says he can leave. New manager has a far stronger hand than any over the last 14 years frankly. Its a significant difference that may well appeal to the likes of WGS for example. Whats more it means our young players have to really prove themselves. Fantastic change of situation. Means we CAN build a team of quality.
-
Too right. Monday. And some urgent transfer work needs to be done.
-
You mean the losing way?
-
As it was last season frankly and has been further depleted since.
-
Absolutely. Been saying this for a while. We need a bloody good motivator as manager and some serious dealing done in the summer transfer window as well as signing some of our better quality players like John and Rasiak. If not we are going down to League 2. But, manager on the horizon and lets hope Saint Markus has heeded the warnings from the preseasons thus far. Are kids are simply not strong enough. We need some experience in this summer... asp.
-
True - on the bookies side. But the odds reducing may be down to fans betting with their hearts. Interesting though, never seen this before.
-
Yeah. By a fan on holiday. I think the quote was, 'With Rupert there? You're kidding' OWTTE
-
Good call. I go with that. In which case lets beg him to come instead of T Adams!
-
He means that Lowe is the man who has delivered constantly crap managers or lost the best ones. But, Saint Markus may not.
-
Yes partly. + Wife and house down here. + Knows how well respected and liked he is here. + We can afford him + Will have fan support and if he calls for patience we'll give it to him + Saint Markus is clearly no fool + No denial by WGS or the Club Mind you it's a useful one to keep on the front burner and not deny whilst selling STs. Something tells me he might be thinking about it.
-
I have to say I agree. For exactly the same reasons. But, only intuitively looking at the signs. Unless WGS turns round and says 'no' I am with you Ponty.
-
Is there a new takeover on the horizon then? Locked?

Le Tissier in talks with Saints over a role
SaintRobbie replied to SaintDonkey's topic in The Saints
Probably some ambassadorial role then? -
Joe Jordan. mmm now there's an interesting option.
-
Wouldnt be a messageboard without debate and banter.
-
Its quite fun though Alps all this Tony Adams is Satan stuff.

Le Tissier in talks with Saints over a role

Thats good news. MLT did nothing other than try and save Saints over Pinnacle. Legend. I like the humility being shown by the new owners if this is true. Nice... gets better and better. (Not manager though Matt!) -
Why?
-
I think Itchen North is better as you dont have to strain your neck to sing at the away fans! You can look them in the eye and get some seriously good banter going.
-
You're better off using it as dental floss I heard.
-
mmmm Express v Echo. Both are full of rubbish.
-
If he doesnt come we'll get someone else, hopefully not TA! But, I thought this thread would hopefully continue to express the desires of the fans for the new owner and also for WGS. Dream come true if he came. But, I admit a dream come true.
