Been on SSN all morning, and they keep showing his record as boss Played - 64 Won - 34 Drew - 17 Lost - 13 Win % - 53% That isn't bad to be fair, how many other managers have had that good of a win % at Saints?

Zola now favourite I see!

Can't see it being McClaren, only joined Wolfsburg in the summer. Please be wrong...

Yeah but he had more than 1 day in the transfer market. That's even if a manager comes in as early as today! If he comes in afterwards, then he has to work with what Pardew has created and use the loan market to get some young players in.

Wouldn't surprise me if Cortese cancels it!

Dont want Strachan back, would most probably destroy this squad and sign the leftovers from Scotland that he couldn't get a Boro! He's one of those managers at the moment who should be doing alot better than he is with the quality of players at his disposal. He's had roughly the same amount of time as Pardew and hasn't done much different. Last season, he took a side in the top 4 to well outside the playoffs, while Pardew took a team hugely lacking confidence, on -10 points and built a team of promotion contenders. This year, Strachan splashed the cash in the window, spent more than Pardew and they are 16th after playing one more game than us and on the same amount of points. I don't think that Strachan would be the one for us now, possibly back when the Swiss took over, but not now IMO.

Could be good backup I suppose. The only signings I can see from now on are loans when the new 'mug' comes in.

Guess? Source?

Phil Brown on MOTD 2 last night said that his grass was looking good now following his gardening leave by Hull and that he was born to work. He said that he wanted to be back asap. What do people think of him? I wouldn't want him here f'sure.

I'll admit, I was the first to call it bull**** but I take it back. I'll more than welcome Zola! Sorry

I'd take Zola and Clarke! Wilkins can then become First Team Coach. You can't do much better than that for the league we're in tbh.

Fully agree, Good Luck Pards! One of the best managers I've seen in the transfer market and thanks for the great JPT performance last year. Ok, the tactics weren't the best at times but I believe he would've got us promoted this season Thanks!

The only ones i'd accept out of that list are O'Neill and Zola. Add Southgate to them and that'd be the beginning of my shortlist.

Wouldn't mind him. Only got sacked at Boro because of the dwindling attendances. That ruined their season, he leaves when 4th (?) end up finishing well outside the play offs. Now this year, they've made just as good of a start as Southgate and their attendances are exactly the same. Would absolutely love MoN down here. Plays good football and signs young, up and coming talent. But if not, i'd settle for Southgate tbh.

On bench for Reading v Leicester tonight.

4-0 Barnard! He's really deserved that! Fantastic Saints!!

3 mins + added time

Martin sounds very impressive today! Fair play to the lad!

Told you we should've kept him on...

Penalty. Barnard tugged down. Come on Rickie!

Sounds like a boxing match! "Oh he's down, he's down" 2 odd injuries then

Time for Guly? No. Ryan Dickson. Prefer him left mid to left back. Puts a good ball into the box.

Huddersfield 2-0 up. We're sounding brilliant so far but as Delldays said, where is Lambert? Rarely heard his name! Take him off and play Guly off Barnard.

Pompey 1 down!! Mullins OG!

3-0 Cherries. Bloody hell! Who needs Pitman!
