I see simon peach is full of inspirational reporting This has probably already mention on here especially the mclaren comment Southampton update! Murat Yakin could replace Pochettino at Saints, claims Peach By talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) | Tuesday, May 27, 2014 Press Association reporter Simon Peach believes former FC Basel manager Murat Yakin is an outside bet for the Southampton top job. Current chief Mauricio Pochettino is set to join Tottenham in the coming days, after reports comfirmed Spurs are in 'advanced talks' with the Argentine. And Peach claims the Saints have their eye on Yakin, 39, along with Derby boss Steve McClaren. "McClaren is one name that has been thrown in to the ring and makes sense on a number of levels," he told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show. "He’s done fantastically well with Derby this season. “The outsider is Murat Yakin,” he added. “He’s done a fantastic job at Basel and has recently left the club. Southampton’s owners are Swiss, he plays good football and he doesn’t speak English, so he ticks all the boxes! He’s an outsider for me.” ....

SB Please explain why you think the club are week ? You, me uncle tom etc do not know what is going on behind the scenes, maybe its a done deal maybe its not, If spurs are so cock sure they have their man which I dont think thay have, it would have been announced by now The longer this drags on the more I believe he will be staying with us. Yes Im in a minority we have no real facts to make a coherent comment only the press and bedwetters crap that is posted day in day out. At the end of the day we should not presume to know the outcome of an event which is still in progress

Toon saint I only mentioned that the Canadians have a celebration of Excellence for their winter olympics as one alternative reason for RK being over there , to counter act the comment he was on holdiday , as well as suporting Fitzhugh original post. He might have been there for family reasons, business and in fact he might actually have returned to the UK , Wherebver he is , there is VC , skpye and a whole range of media technology he can use to keep in contact with the club

Don't blame the board . If MP has head turned there is not a lot we can do about it unless we get cortesse back and even then MP might not stay

St garret et al . How do you know it is a shambles are you just shooting from the hip hoping some bullets hit homr . It's not the boards fault . Your perception is the club is a shambles . But none of us really know . But one the one common denominator in all this is the media frenzy that is going on . Playing to Levy 's tune . Pooch us doing himself no favours . The press have been wrong time and time again .If he goes then hurry up and go . But I still think this media crap has a bit to go and a part of me still thinks he might stay . The longer it drags in . I will not blame any of the board apart from Les . I'm curious as to why doddy and co were released as I took that as a sign that the club were listening to MP demands but then again it might have been coincidental and nothing to do with MPs requirements .

We will soon find out what les is to MP I guess . If he goes to spurs as well Anyone know if the Basel Coach is worth appointing ?

Crawl back into your hole Richmond your becoming very tedious now

I have a warped sense of humour . If MP goes let's take sherwood . It would be just brilliant if tim had us playing excellent football and we finished above the spuds .

Stanstard Heathrow I think .unless he is landing in a private jet .

There's no official news yet I feel if he doesn't there will be many very embarrassed posters on here . . I understand your angst grey crab if he does go . But let's wait and see what transpires . I ding like the situation anymore than you do . Football can be cruel and equally evil at the same time I know it's hypothetical but suppose we had finished about the spuds . Would he still have turned us down ?

So has he actually left .

Has he left

i am I still hopefully he will be staying .i know the media odds are stacked against me . The club are doing their best to keep him as we speak . It's not over to the fat lady has sung . And that has not happened she's not even gargling . Maybe were unable to keep our three stars and that has had an impacts on decisions to be made by him . If goes he goes and I might end up with egg on my face. But I don't care . I love the club come what may . I have a gut feeling the spuds were close to getting de boers but they screwed that appointment up . Is the Basel coach any good ? As long as our backgroungd staff don't leave other than doddies and co we will be alright . Keep the faith

Batman . Duncan did not say Ralph was on holiday in Canada . You or some else added that . Besides he is based in swtzerland is he not . I mentioned earlier there is the celebration of excellence re the recent Olympics he might have been invited back there as he was part of the gold winning team at the time and has been asked back to do that .

I may be in a minority on here, but I still believe he will stay , at the end of the day neither I or the club can do nothing about it . if he resigns, I was very disappointed when Twaddle left us. that was decietful and like twaddle the spuds have in my mind illegally tapped him up, if the press specualtion is anything to go by, I will wait for events to fold, but I do not blame the board in anyway for what is allegedly happening, unlike some of you. I bet they are doing their utmost to keep him at the club. but occassionally agents of clubs and the likes of levy will do anything to get the players / managers they want in place. I have never liked spurs and it dindt help when they got twaddle to walk away from ruperts vision

Alpine you are a total nasty numpty. re your comments about a season ticket, You rarely go to games, so that is not appropriate question to ask. I know loads of fans who have renewed their season ticket already.

If he goes then I will lay the blame purely at Les Reeds door. >> I wouldnt be suprised if he procrastinated once to often in making a decision to get Him signed up from us The important aspect in this for me is their is no word from Saints , every thing is coming from the spuds, may be they are just throwing out etc bait as they can not land their man , and Mopo is their last hope of getting a decent manager

I still think , he is going to stay, If he goes I think he will be a fool , but if he does then we should ensure he does not come back trying to raid our training stock Keep the faith he will stay

I still belief MP will continue to be our manager I find it really sad that someone can be called a traitor purely on hystria and misinformation as the saying goes Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. clearly we have a fair few ravenous wolves on this forum however it is a sad world we live in

Is it not possible that RK went to Canada, to tie up some lose ends, See family, sign a business deal with Saints, or having an input to The 2014 Celebration of Excellence to celebrate Canada’s tremendous successes within the Olympic Movement which is happening next week . I doubt very much he was having a holiday , but then only **** stirrers would come up with that sort of spin

itchen-dan you should have disected that link The Southampton boss has been the favourite for the job since Tim Sherwood was sacked earlier in May and several talks have taken place with intermediaries. A broad agreement over a salary package worth £3 million per year is believed to have been reached a week ago. I thought de boer was their preferred applicant As of Sunday night, no official approach is understood to have been made to Southampton but the south-coast club are resigned to losing the 42-year-old and braced for Spurs to finally make an official move. So how can they say he ios about to be appointed when no official approach has been made Who said the south coast club are resigned to losing him Utter tosh in my humble opinion

Lets just sell every one , the stadium , the academy , thne grass that way folk wouldnt have to start up constant negative threads No Offence intended to the original poster but it is getting tedioius if its not the media its on here The on ly perosn that will be happy when every thing is broken and gone will be Mr miserable

Can we design a new really scarer roller coaster ride Called the Southampton journey into the unknown . One minute we are in the depths of depression , then the heights of ecstasy and then fitzhugh fellow comes along and we are travelling down shark and crocodile infested waters . The Southampton journey ride has more twists and turns than a twister in the states or a cadburys curly surly . Hold on to your seats the ride could be terrifying

Waiting for my flight to Aberdeen from Kirkwall . For a moment I saw MP in the lounge . But on second looks it turned out to be a local creel fisherman who had similar facial looks as MPy

I hope thus is true but I have said all along I didn't think he was leaving anyway . .nothing on sky apart from an interview with Luke shaw ?
