S-Clarke

Probably interviewing some Hockey managers out there.

He has one year remaining on his Southampton contract but wanted answers from the new board over the direction of the club before committing his future. "It's up to the board to discuss with me the new project that will be in place for next season," Pochettino told BBC South Today on 9 May. "It's not up to me to decide when those talks will happen." Nice one Ralph.

..and breathe!

Seriously?

I doubt I will, it's more expensive for a depleted product, but it's still saints - and I'd annoy the **** out of everyone if I didn't have my weekly live football fix!

As has been clear since John Williams was passed up for the Chairman role.

Would have renewed whatever tbh.

To add to the list...we also have no academy coach or manager..!

Just the start tbf. Players next.

I got Bradford City promoted to the PL within 3 seasons - CL finalists by season 5. I should be given a crack.

Should have started months ago, IMO. Stalled on it for too long, all the crap about leaving it to the end of the season was just that - utter bull crap. If he wanted to stay it would have been done, so MP has been an idiot and the club have been naive and strung along. Amateurs. Same will be happening with Cork, Fonte and Jay if we're not careful. Common rule in football is not to let key players get to less than 18 months remaining on their contracts, as after this point agents and players will start getting twitchy.

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11675/9326877/premier-league-tottenham-determined-to-make-mauricio-pochettino-their-new-manager Pretty much done and dusted, I'd say.

It'll be someone like him or Mckay in my opinion.

To be honest, I'm pretty open minded about stuff usually, but from afar we just look utterly rudderless with no idea what to do. All the waffle played out by Reed ''We're calm, we're always talking'' and ditto for RK, then silence. And then off goes the manager to another club. Always will be eternally grateful to ML and KL for what they've done in this club, but you only have to glance one eye at what KL did with the Mali businesses to get a little worried. (A complete downsize in operations for a start, and lots of quotes from staff saying that the new management were wandering around like headless chickens)

I get a feeling they're running around not really knowing what to do, to be honest.

They could, but it's clear MP wants to leave IMO. As I said, if he wanted to stay here then this would have all been sorted out a few weeks ago - the fact it's dragged on has been to our detriment.

Still of the opinion he's long gone, and has been for a few weeks. Spurs have been the ones hanging, but if he was staying here it would have been announced weeks ago IMO. It's ok, we've got a Bruce Arena and Malky Mckay dream team lined up.

As much as Moyes rep. was crushed to smithereens this year, he's not turned into a bad manager overnight. A lot of it was simply the inconceivable mess that SAF left for him, but he did a good job messing it about some more tbf. But Moyes is a fit for our sort of club - never going to be a mega club, not going to be splashing £30m on signings etc - we'd need a manager who can pull out a few gems every now and then, and Moyes had a good record of working in quite difficult financial conditions at Everton. Brought through the likes of Coleman, Barkley, Rooney to name just a few as well. Personally if the worst does happen, we could do a hell of a lot worse than Moyes.

TBF probably a lot than most of us! Would aid us in evolving to a yanky Southampton Saints. GO Saints!

He's going, he's staying, he's going, he's staying, he's going, he's staying. Is that where we are this morning?

Ah, so all the waffle about his job starting the Monday after the season finished, is again, nothing but waffle then? he does half come out with some crap!

Twitter is making the closed season an utter nightmare! Every, tiny, incy little thing is being ripped apart, analysed, analysed again and then the analysed responses are analysed some more. We'll be talking earlobe sizes soon. Bring on the world cup...!!!

Weren't we after him previously? He left Espanyol on a free and was linked to us and a number of clubs, but chose Betis. Can't say he's had an amazing season though.

Not a dig at you Dan, as I like your twitter insights - but there is such an enormous amount of turd floating around at the moment, it's like wading through a bath of ****.
