That's what he said after the Man U game, it's clear that the project is not to his taste. Will probably not be to many of our tastes to be honest.

The first concrete confirmations of an approach across all mediums. Notably the BBC who held back for a while, and then put it as their front page story. It's clearly happening, just a matter of the announcement now.

So Ralph is in Canada, Les is in Italy...and our manager is at WHL. I hope Gareth Rogers, or Hans whatshisname has got a handle on it.

Yes, bring back the stripes, club ties and fans on the board. Go team saints.

In a time of meltdown, you are the poster to bring a smile to the masses

He should be stopped from buying anyone from his former club. A board and club management with any balls would ensure that was the case, sadly they probably don't have a clue and are still wandering around the board room talking to themselves.

All over the BBC now, think this thread can be made a sticky and renamed

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.
