Just because Hoddle did not think MLT deserved a place in the World Cup squad does not mean he was not a good manager. But I dont think I want him back at SFC we need someone relatively young with no SFC history shame that Bobby Robson is so old,

Just seems strange to me I would not think I had a job unless I was told that I had. However I think it is probably good that we get a new manager although it is becoming a bit of a joke five in two years but if things did not go well with results there would have been intense pressure to sack him and we would be back to square one. Even if results do go wrong which hopefully they will not we need to keep the new manager as eventually with investment we are bound to succeed.

Yes I agree still not sure about Strachan though like I was not sure about MLT/Pinnacle. I think we need a different type of manager to take us to the Premiership. If he had been available to replace Burley I would have been in complete agreement but a lot has changed since then and patience is needed now because not everything is going to go to plan it never does especially with SFC.

So why did Wotte think he had the job then?

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4485143.Wotte__speechless__after_losing_his_job/ I wonder where he got the idea he was going to be the manager. From the First statement issued I thought changes were likely "I believe we have a superb opportunity to rebuild this great Club. Clearly, this will require resources, planning, hard work and patience. We will assemble a strong management team at every level of the Club. We will act rapidly, but also plan for the long term, because I am here for the long term. The strong management team at every level caught my eye initially

I dont think Markus is at Leeds and they started off with less than - 10 (cant be more otherwise it would be less) I think if they started on - 10 they would have been promoted

Who?

Welcome and starting posting

Sorry what I meant was if he paid any money for wages specifically as suggested by Lawrie Mac not the Pinnacle money I agree I dont think he should be on the board as he may not have the same outlook as Markus

I agree fully with your post but I am not sure Strachan is the type of Manager he is looking for I would have thought Coppell or Curbishley maybe

So do I but if we get in someone like Hoddle Curbishley or Coppell I will be pleased. How things have changed over the last 24 hours

Yes but it is not going to be a manager with League 1 expertiese it is going to be someone like Coppell or Curbishley who can get us to the Premiership I would have thought

You misunderstand what I say I fully expect us to get back to the Premiership but at the moment it is impossible to challenge the top four . Thats all The days when non top four teams regularly challenge for honours on a regular basis is virtually over. Look at Spurs Aston Villa Newcastle lots of money spent but to little avail

No Gorre definitely not sure about Svennson I dont think he had a contract

If he has lost money I think he should be re-imbursed somehow

The future is even better today than it was yesterday

Exactly we can now look to the future in a real good light even better than yesterday

With the departure of Wotte I feel the new regime may invest in new players and anything could now happen

I thought Wotte maybe on the wayout reading the brief statement last night relating to management both on and off the field. I now feel that money will be spent on players and we could well be heading for the play offs/Promotion

Gareth Bale

Because Pinnacle did not get the club I would have thought

How about everywhere except goalkeeper

I dont agree with what you are saying I think we should know the reason why the Pinnacle bid failed thanking TL appears a liitle niave as he would have benefited financially from the deal if it had gone ahead. Why they upset the Football Leugue needs to be explained as well I do agree that the final outcome is fine and look forward to the future which we now have if Andrew Surman and David McGoldrick were not sold

I would be suprised if we ever challenged for honours on a regular basis and like other clubs will continue to sell our better players to bigger clubs.
