Is that all that's available of (approaching) the required standard ? OK, then assuming Emery is not available, I'd go with DeBoer. Eddie Howe clearly has apron strings issues. Why wouldnt Erwin Koeman be any good in the hot seat ?

To be frank, I dont know how to react. Sometimes I approach the old meltdown reaction, sometimes I am "meh", sometimes I think "lets get on with it". I suppose since there are no clear indicators of a player exodus related to this yet, my reaction is largely held in check. The club seems to know what they are doing behind the scenes, though I still have my doubts about the way the PR side of things is managed.

?? Danny Blind is doing a good job of turning the Dutch around; why would he be replaced ?

Top post.

Sticky, please. I reckon a few of us will need an occasional read of this through the summer

Amen, moosh..

Emery would f**k both sides of Merseyside off. Excellent choice.

I was thinking as I got my two little ones settled for bed, about who our Slaven Billic is. Someone who played for us, has the affection for the club, and has done alright at club mgmt or national team mgmt level. I came up blank. Marian Pahars doenst have enough experience.

But apparently this isnt the first time we've looked at an Austria match.

Well, here's another thought about tonights Austria vs Netherlands game. Could we be looking at Marcel Koller, the Austrian coach ??? I dont think he could take the Austrian national team any futher, and he has certainly made a silk purse from a sow's ear..

I find this news worrying. Austria have some interesting attack options, but are not all that defensively (IMO; assuming we are not after Fuchs who plays for the EPL Champs). This would infer we are looking at attack options, which must suggest the likes of Long or Mane are really off. Could be conincidence and there is someone in the Dutch team we want to watch, of course...

Good post, Prof - cheered me up a bit. Suppose we should be grateful for Euro 2016; that will slow down agents getting their hands on most of our better players. Gives the board time to appoint a new manager and maybe make the players pause for thought.

Thats why the UK Government and EU are allowing them taxpayers money to try to mug the cruise business off us, right ?

You can guarantee that Sky will arrange for that to happen.

Long ? Forster ? Claise ?

Whats wrong with that ? Its called AMBITION, and Leicester City have stuck a big fat middle digit up at the football pyramid this season.

Our luck is going to change sooner or later. One bad decision is all it will take.

F**k me I am down this morning... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/7192102/Southampton-face-exodus-with-Victor-Wanyama-Shane-Long-and-Graziano-Pelle-set-to-follow-Ronald-Koeman-out-the-door.html Really, what is wrong with our board allowing this sh*t to fester EVERY SUMMER ???

Doesnt work like that. We could get days or weeks of not knowing then him leave, and be left f**k-all time to find a replacement.

F**k, lets just get this done either way and move on. Serious doubts about our ambition and Uncle Les's vision ability to sell the club considering the last 3 summers If we are not careful, what with 6 Europe League games distracting us and f**k knows what collateral damage in the transfer market resulting from this, we could be facing relegation next season.

I reckon he's going. I wonder how attached Wreck-It-Ralph and KL really are to Uncle Les. I wonder if this might finish him off.

If this happens, I will really question Les Reed's ability to close a deal..
