Pamplemousse

This is entirely my point. All of the information he posted was posted before, either on here by the ITKs or alluded to by journalists in some way. No new information has come to light that has been proven to be correct.

Les Reed messed up Koeman's career :lol: :lol:

Someone with far too much time on their hands and an elaborate mind. There is a difference between passing on new information and making up a story full of information we already knew. If any of our current ITKs want to verify that this Jack is indeed a true ITK then go ahead and I'll happily be proved wrong.

Les Reed said in his video that we were planning contract extensions. None of the info that Jack Schitt has come out with is anything new or that we didn't know already.

Les Reed said in his video that we were trying to get players to sign new contracts. The news has hardly come out of the blue.

Perhaps £11M is the initial fee, and there are various add ons and future fees.

His name same it all. He is not ITK. For one thing, all of that information could have been piece together by anyone. And secondly, he's far too keen to keep repeating 'my friend' 'my friend' 'my friend'. Les Reed's video confirmed that we were in contract talks with players. None of the information in that post contains anything new.

He was on £4M a year at Man City. Supposedly that's the same as what we offered Ron.

The three Ps. Pellegrini, Pereira and Puel.

If Pellegrini wants to remain in the Premier League then we are the best club on offer currently.

The word frog means nothing to them anyway. Call them a grenouille (gren-noo-ee) and I doubt they would care too much. Just tell them their food is ****, that'll offend them.

A question for the ITKs. Did we rule out Garcia after having spoken to him or did he say no to us?

I think we can file this one under bullsh!t

I think Garcia will be our man. What I find odd though is that a Champions League manager wasn't attracted to a massive club like Everton. Why would he want to go to little 6th place Saints and not bottom half of the table Everton? Bizarre.

I cannot wait until we beat Everton in November.

Press conference at 1.30pm. Will be interesting to hear what he has to say...

He turned down the Anderlecht job last week. Perhaps he already had a better offer on the table...

In France, undoubtedly they consider Garcia the better manager out of him and Puel

There's an interesting interview with him. I'd translate it but I can't be bothered to do it all. But it mentions how he develops young players and has succeeded with a high turnover of players, how he had to sell his best players and replace them in a very short period of time at Nice. http://www.eurosport.fr/football/ligue-1/2015-2016/puel-aujourd-hui-on-tresse-des-lauriers-aux-jeunes-l-an-dernier-il-fallait-les-mettre-dehors_sto4949461/story.shtml

It doesn't fit the 'There's only one duh-duh duh-duh' chant (unless we elongate the Claude bit) I guess 'There's only one Claude Puel' works. Personally I would prefer Rudi Garcia. However, I trust the board 100% to get this right.

Anderlecht offered Puel their manager's job but he rejected it last Friday. He has exclusively managed in France. Started off at Monaco, won Ligue 1 and the Trophée des Champions (French equivalent of the Community Shield). Was involved in an incident during a Champions League match where Ryan Giggs scored a controversial goal and he encouraged his players to walk off the field briefly. Alex Ferguson criticised him for trying to intimidate the referee. At Lyon, he managed them to the semi finals of the Champions League for the first time ever in their history. At Nice, normally they are a mid table team, but this season they finished 4th (and we could possibly face them in the Europa League). I would say that he clearly has the European expertise we desire but his lack of experience outside of France may be an issue. I wonder what his record is of developing young players.

If it's someone with European experience then we can narrow the search down a bit. Christophe Galtier got through the Europa League group stages with Saint-Étienne last season.

The manager of Le Havre is Bob Bradley, who's American, so it definitely isn't him

Whatever you do, DO NOT google Fournier and go the images. I REPEAT, do NOT do an image search of Fournier. You have been warned.

Rémi Garde?
