i'd love him...and i reckon he's thinking about it over the next 48 hours. (not much to think about WGS - just do it!!)

oh im sure we will..my point was that for the last few years, we've not even been able to make certain loans because of the fee involved.

Good post apline. i agree. They're not stupid, esp. not AO, I'm sure he's already aware of what we think!

I like the budget statement. Sounds like we'll have some 'sensible' clout at last. Gone are the days where we can't make a loan singing because of the fee...

I reckon his name is being linked as a media divert - as they know what sort of hysteria WGS is causing. tbf AO is a clever guy and he'll know that adams is someone that will cause a rift straight way. It's not going to happen imo. my money is on strachan.

i still think there's something in it. When the club have just sacked their current manager, WGS surley wouldn't go to staplewood the same day to get a physio check. someone else mentioned on another thread, that when asked why he was at staplewood, it was so Mo Gimpel could check his knee. there is a big cover up going on here, he's going to be the new manager - i'm sure of it now.

but he's only just been appointed at Ipswich....this just won't happen.

There was someone on the Echo comments section yesterday, recommending Coleman, as he's unhappy in Spain - or something along those lines.

i reckon i could have a crack at getting a better win rate than that.

Fancy sharing? just to put our minds at rest at least...

tbf i'd rather have him than bloody Adams.

****ing hell, what a pillock he sounds. Please no...

There is definitely something going on re: Strachan. Let's put the points up... 1) - Solent confirmed that he has refused to comment on speculation linking him with our job 2) - saints have failed to deny that he was a staplewood yesterday. 3) - betting suspended as bookies making him a dead cert. Seems like he definitely is a contender, i just hope he fancies the challenge.

Bloody frustrating.... I really liked watching him at the start of last season, one of the reasons we looked so good.... He's unfortunately just one of those injury prone players, who'll end up retiring early.

i don't remember anyone mentioning micky adams tbh? although i may have missed it.

South today ''understand'' the shortlist has been narrowed down in the last 24 hours. Tony Adams, Micky Adams and Coppell were mentioned.

Oldknow IMO.

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/SeasonTickets/0,,10280~1640471,00.html as the thread says... reasonable prices imo - the price range i kind of expected.

South today understand that we may look to implement a continental style of management, with a manager working under a DOF....

Sounds like they want to appoint someone who will create a buzz IMO. I don't think they'd sack Wotte if they were just looking at run of the mill appointments. but we'll see....

He wasn't. He was contracted with us for another year anyway, as academy director. But his contract was altered so it read ''Head coach..''

Seeing as you saw a fair bit more of watford than us - what is your opinion on boothroyd? He's a bit more than ''hoofball'' imo. He's a good shout.

Maybe, i kind of feel like that. but on the other hand, Wotte wasn't a great success here and if he was kept on it would be kind of ''under review''. Makes sense for the new guys to try and find the guy they believe can be with us for the long term, no more of these short season jobs - he did say rapid changes...

I agree with you totally. Let's push the bloody boat out and win the damn league for once. (ok, maybe that is a little too far....) - but the playoffs are the main target - the new guys feel the same, as they've not hung around making the big decision re: wotte...
