Have to wonder where and how he was dredged up after years out of the game. Can’t remember when he was last managing or involved anywhere.

This is the era of Spor(t)s Republic. I think the line for this should be: Two weeks of dither and dally before the Valley.

Any relation to Danny N'guessing ?

Didn’t we lose that match ? I think Adkins may have been on the touchline, but the team and preparation had been by Dean Wilkins

Always thought this appropriate: Spors, Rasmus etc chasing each other round the centre circle

Are English Heritage or Southampton Civic Society aware of this ? If ever a bridge was worthy of a blue plaque then this is it.

Some good research, and fine that his short career to date has some relative success to it, and that in time he might make a good manager/head coach. But question is whether he’s ready for the step up in a toxic club atmosphere. Doubt it myself, and not selecting him now is probably in his best interest long term. And ours.

I think the Brighton manager also had a promotion from Bundesliga2 on his CV with St Pauli.

And the German bloke, Herr Eckert

Sounds our sort of player.

Bloody ridiculous comment, and quite insensitive. I’m not a fan of the bloke by any means, but that’s a stretch too far.

I thought he’d left on a free rather than going there on loan. Pretty sure there was a comment that we’d agreed a hefty sell on %.

I don’t think it’s a matter of righting off his coaching potential, he may indeed be a good prospect. The issue is whether such an inexperienced coach is right for us now.

I thought he’d already let it be known he was returning to the UK and that had been accepted by his club. You may well be right. If we actually had to negotiate with his club, and pay compensation then the decision becomes even more ridiculous.

Did they though ? SR could have dispensed with Ralph at the end of the previous season. The biggest failing was the transfer window summer 2022 and not signing a striker. Wasn’t that under Semmens watch ?
