Of course that's all Puel's fault, and nothing to do with the fact that Monaco and PSG have bought everyone. Would be interesting to see Window's views on this one.

When Shaw does go, and we potentially get Puel, I think this bloke is nailed on as our new LB. Timothée Kolodziejczak We've been linked with him previously. He plays for him currently at Nice.

tbh, that Ed bloke they have as their CEO is almost as clueless as ours.

Yeah, pretty attacking manager all being told. I just get the feeling it's nailed on to be him, which in the circumstances is a bit of damn good news after a crappy couple of weeks.

And you can bet your bottom dollar that our friend Ralph will come out with something like this.....''Yes, we've sold our best players, but the new manager will have a lot of money to reinforce the team. We have a lot of funds to add to the side and we want to go shopping for Southampton saints'' RK - Hi Swansea, we would like to buy Neil taylor please. We value him at £3-4m Swansea - Hi Southampton, I understand you have a lot of money to spend. We want £8m please RK - We can't be paying that. Bye Onto the next target....

Koeman candidate in Southampton Ronald Koeman does not yet know where he will coach next season .. © ANP Ronald Koeman is one of the two remaining candidates for the vacancy at Southampton head coach . The English Premier League club has a great season so far , led by Mauricio Pochettino . The Argentine coach has become the new coach of Tottenham Hotspur , where he has signed for five years. Koeman preys after his voluntary departure from Feyenoord , where he has taken on an adventure in England for three years. Maximum out of the team It's close to home and that competition is not he previously worked as a trainer or as a footballer . " In the Netherlands I see myself in the first years as a trainer be ," he said in his farewell at De Kuip . Southampton want knots in the next week heels. Although the club is not one of the largest in England, thanks to the strong seasonal entitled to almost 65 million in TV rights . That gives the club again clout in the transfer market .

Is that just because he's dutch, and looks slightly similar?

He's the sort of player that is easy to defend against, once you know his strengths and most importantly his weaknesses. As people have said, pretty much a one trick pony, if he was any good he'd have made a real name for himself at Spurs after his early impact - but the fact he's now surplus kind of confirms they've sussed him too. But to be honest, the way this summer could go....he's another body we could put on the pitch!

Realistically, Sigurdsson would be a great addition for us.....if as expected, Morgan does leave, he'd be a nice replacement. Not like for like as such, but would add to the side.

See, I'm not quite sure Reed deserves this kind of strong criticism at the moment. He was brought here by NC and has overseen our rise as much as anyone else, so he's clearly been involved in some good decisions along the way. The fact he has been given more involvement is possibly somewhat worrying, and indicative of our naive board, but from where I'm standing he's the last person I'd put the blame and I would argue that he's earnt a little bit of trust from the supporter base, after-all, he has been involved in a lot of good over the last 5 years.

Maybe spurs are having a firesale too. Spurs are also ready to off-load Nacer Chadli, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Lewis Holtby and Michael Dawson this summer. Hugo Lloris and Roberto Soldado both likely to go for major transfer fees, while the futures of Jan Vertonghen, Etiene Capoue and Paulinho are all up in the air.

He wouldn't leave for anything other than CL football, imo.

Ticks all the boxes for me. high profile, stock is high - talented manager, has always been focused on youth development and youth progression. Would raise the commercial profile of the club abroad, which is what the club seem to be bothered about. And the most important thing, he is leaving his current club and has openly admitted he wants to manage in the PL. There are no other options in the PL right now, it's kind of a no brainer for all in my opinion.

Agent waffle, that one.

I reckon it's Koeman.

Don't forget, Billy Sharp is still a contracted saints player for a further 12 months.

Ummm.

His arsenal transfer is all but done apparently.

I feel so flat right now. Just defeated. He was the one player I didn't see going.

Adam Blackmore @bigadamsport · 16h Had a genuinely warm moment with Rickie Lambert - he was emotional when he came to say goodbye & I wished him the best from all #saintsfc

Not just that though, I don't think I'm being OTT here - but this kind of potential dismantling and complete gutting of the club could send us on a 1 way ticket back to the lower leagues. Momentum is everything in football, that is seemingly being ripped away from underneath us as we speak. Birmingham almost went, wolves had 2 successive relegations - it's possible that by 2016/17 we could be back at square 1 if we're not careful. Someone needs to get a grip on this situation now and fast.

It takes quite a lot of talent to destroy the heart of a club after it's most successful PL season, but this is a pretty talented board by all accounts.

We're being run my amateurs, pretty clear to anyone.

Not a good start. Replacing your star left back with a Swansea squad player, as that's all he is. Never really recovered from his injuries.

Why the hell would we want Garcia? What would appeal to anyone? He's utter dross, failed at Brighton and simply an unproven NPC manager. I'm still certain this is agent driven tosh, I know the board at the club leave a lot to be desired but I cannot see them being this stupid. It would just be incomprehensible. After Yakin and Koeman have simply flashed about their availability, and then we go and get Garcia instead. Yeah, don't buy it.
