This is precisely what the journalist says in the video "[Tuchel] serait en pôle pour remplacer Puel à Southampton" Tuchel is in pole position to replace Puel at Southampton For those who know their grammar, 'serait' = 'to be' conjugated in the conditional (would be), but using the conditional is a common feature in French journalism, and implies that the source is unconfirmed and/or unreliable.

Before we all get excited, it's just one man's little snippet. No report, no sources... so let's just wait and see what happens.

For those who can understand French, the little snippet is right at the end. The journalist says he believes that Tuchel is in pole position to replace Puel at Southampton. That's all he says.

A French TV Sports show (L'Équipe Du Soir), associated with the well-known newspaper, are saying that Tuchel is in pole position to come to Saints

I would have no problem with selling him to either of those team (obviously I'd rather he stayed at us for as long as possible)

Liverpool losing their Champions League play-off would be very, very funny

On Twitter, a lot of the Blue Phew want Appleton back! Of course, the #deludedest are trotting out the usual big names that wouldn't touch them with a barge pole

Reading are such a nothing club, with nothing fans. And let's not forget that tinpot song they released, it's worse than ours.

Enjoyed our rivalry with them in League 1. Good to see both us, Brighton and Huddersfield in the top flight. Add Bournemouth to that, and that's 4 of the top 6 from League One 6 years ago in the Premier League

If they were willing to pay more than what we signed him for then I'm all for the deal.

Why is that irrational?

Pellegrini was the man that Jack Schitt was 'ITK' about, until it turned out that he was lying all along. It won't be him, as the Mirror article says, he doesn't fit the 'Southampton Way'.

Or Tuchel. He's fallen out with the Dortmund hierarchy

Whoever is the manager, I genuinely believe we will finish higher than 8th. Impossible to tell with the cups, but hopefully we will give one, perhaps both of them a good go.

You'll be pleased with the news I bring then The local press (Le Progrès) is reporting that Puel is St Etienne's first choice. It was reported yesterday that nothing will be done before a week on Monday. This one looks like it's gathering momentum

Who are you referring to?

If Puel has been speaking to other clubs, presumably that means that he either a) has already been told we're going to replace him or b) wants to leave

On the other hand, Puel knows the French league better, and of course took Nice to 4th place before he came here. Ranieri was at Monaco but they had mega money. Puel would be the safer bet I reckon.

5th June is over a week away. So if he does go, then that at least gives us time to find a replacement. We don't want to go the whole summer in managerial limbo.

Translation - St Etienne directors met with Claude Puel and Claudio Ranieri. They won't make a decision before 5th June.

Seen a few shouts for Uncle Avram too

I didn't want Pochettino out myself. However... https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?49780-Pochettino-s-Future&p=1940795#post1940795

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/pompey/pompey-face-losing-cook-1-7981536 Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Where's that hero/villain swingometer. The fans also seem quite bitter that he's going to a small club like Wigan. Lol. This is where I regret not having a POL account anymore. I bet you Corp Ho is trying to contact Maradona and Riquelme as we speak.

Even if I was going to lots of games, I'd still be looking at the bigger picture - things behind the scenes, injuries, etc. Personally, I'd like him to stay, but I would understand if the club did decide to make a change. Having said that, Puel will need a quick start next season. He has said himself that he wants us to play more attacking. By the way, my 'egg on face' comment wasn't aimed at you. Although I don't agree with everything you say, at least you've fully explained your arguments, which is fair enough.

I have the autographs of every player from the 07-08 season. Not sure if they'll want that though...
