ITK or law of averages guesswork ?

oh could be !

The only thing that puzzles and worries me a little about the Puel appointment is the fact that other candidates were seemingly discarded if they hadn't had experience of managing in more than one league and this guy has only managed in France.

It clearly means Claude has finished second in a one horse race and has been pipped to the post as Saints new manager by an unknown candidate !!

Since when ? He puts the odd phrase in to suggest so whilst the general tone of his articles about Saints tell of impending doom, meltdowns and disaster !

Yes, can we please not have the club issuing statements until things are done and dusted.....or keep Les away from the cameras at least

Has he gone or was that just a random tweet ?

This is so bad it's almost funny now !

This kind of puts things into perspective, thank you.

After seeing the way he has started this game anyone who thinks we should get rid is fkin mental

Thats the image of the club some of us have as Saints supporters too Duncan and quite frankly there isnt much evidence to suggest otherwise. Mane had two years left, why for heavens sake didnt they do what they did with Vic and Morgan and tell him he would stay until the last year of the contract ? Ok they wouldnt have got £36 million for him next summer BUT if more than one club were interested they might have got £20 million and if mane staying was the difference between finishing 7th or 15th for arguments sake there is the transfer fee shortfall right there !

As would I but its about as likely as Elvis Presley headlining Glastonbury next year !

This 100%

yes haven't seen much wrong with him as yet.

Classy message from Big Vic. Whether it's bull**** or not we have on one side him, Rickie, Morgan and Luke Shaw doing it the right way. on the other side we have Koeman, Lallana and Lovren......

yeah i tend to agree, nothing to stop a contract dated 1 July being signed and the announcement made beforehand. Perhaps that will happen, maybe hes gone away on holiday although we do have issues when managers go away on holiday :-(

He is indeed but the fact they want to speak to others and extend it by another week suggests they arent entirely convinced/happy which again harks back to Guan's post as mentioned earlier. Totally agree about endorsing the clubs view that this is an important appointment, nobody can dispute that.

Doesnt look like Pelligrini if they are feeding that to The Echo. I would still plump for them producing a name out of the hat that nobody has either heard of or speculated on.

Does that include an apology for basically calling the guy a liar since day one ?

If this is true yet another upgrade in manager, would be a fantastic statement of intent from the club !

Who signed an extended deal a few months ago when Fonte did then ? I could have sworn it was Davis ! Excellent news anyway

I'm going to take the contract negotiations with two players that will please the fans with a pinch of salt to be honest. After being burnt at least three times before with similar positive noises coming out the club I can't take anymore let downs on that score

incredible isnt it ?

Pressing game like Poch according to the article posted about him

thats in bad taste isn't it ?
