  1. Hull appoint Leonid Slutsky. I wonder if he had shares in a certain night time establishment in Queensway?
  2. That is a fantastic analogy. Never count your chickens before they hatch. The glee over those exit poll results was laughable. They're just a projection, not the final result. Holding out for the best, mind.
  3. Maybe Saints are so reluctant to sell VVD right now is because a sensational manager is in line for Puel's job Lol
  4. Dean Richards' move to Spurs was far worse! #yobbos
  5. Let him go with all the poor mercenaries we've had in the past. Not bothered, let's move on. Players come and go. I'm still reeling Magilton's move to Sheffield Wednesday.
  6. Never going to happen ffs
  7. Honestly think Paul Lambert could do a great job somewhere with the right board. No troll.
  8. If he falls out with so many managers as you say, there's no way he's going to play under Croatian Bilic.
  9. Looking forward to you reeling them in with that tasty tasty bait
  10. OK the bible has been quoted on this thread. And with that, I'm out.
  11. Given his remarks about us in the past, his gloating, and general dislike among Saints fans, who here would be against appointing Brendan Rodgers?
  12. Both Puel and Southampton need a resolution asap so pre season can start with a clean slate. Any longer and you're looking at losing valuable preparation time.
  13. Heard it's Garry Monk
  14. Not as good as Cedric, who is arguably on of our best players.
  15. Break the bank for Gio Van Bronckhorst. Stranger things have happened.
  16. Posted all this back at the start of the season:
  17. Players don't want to play under Puel. Simple.
  18. Absolutely none. Look at Fabio and Gestede, relegated with three different Premier League clubs. Boro signed dross from Villa and went down. Saints can do so much better.
  19. Not a chance. Conte is a winner.
  20. So yeah, wants out then.
  21. "Naturally it’s nice to get that recognition and I suppose that will come if you play consistently in the Premier League and internationally. “But I learnt a long time ago not to get carried away with anything.” Wants out, then.
  22. I didn't say anything about this season being a disaster but that's a typical Saints fan for you, read what they want to read. It'll be a disaster in the long run if reports about top players wanting out because of his methods. It's likely we'll let them go because we always do and Puel proved this season he was unable to adequately replace the class we lost (please tell me like-for-like otherwise apart from Gabbi, who isn't a 15+ a season striker btw). It's a bleak outlook, especially if investment dwindles. That's why this appointment was so crucial. We have to stick with Puel now as we can't afford another upheaval while there are no decent, and affordable, replacements out there. But whatever, slate me for a rationalised opinion. I've supported this club decades and remember how close we were to folding and the utter dross footy that came with it pre-2009. What I don't want to see is that ever happening again. Performances on the pitch are THE crucial part for ensure it doesn't.
  23. Very much in the anti-Puel camp since before the start of the season and was lambasted for suggesting the appointment will be a disaster. People have finally woken up. HOWEVER, all I can say is be careful what you wish for.
  24. I also want to give a lot of credit to Claude Puel. The ****ing state of the team he took over in 2012... It felt like a relegation coming when the team lost Eric Mouloungui - 28 years, and 21 goals in 119 games as a striker. He was quite ****, but not as **** as Mickaël Poté or Franck Dja Djedjé or Abraham Gneki Guié or... The team literally survived just because Civelli, Pejcinovic, Ospina, and Digard created a decent defensive lineup. But the squad was so thin, I was thinking "what the ****?!" when the club sold Larrys Mabiala to a turkish relegation candidate for €500 000... But Puel came in. Started by selling Mounier and Monzon to get some cash. Cvitanich (€1,5m, **** at Ajax) scored 19 league goals in his first season. Valentin Eysseric (€1,5m) is still at the club, and a starter this spring. Timothée Kolodziejczak, Nampalys Mendy, and Eric Bauthéac for free. Alassane Pléa for €0,5m. Jean Michaël Seri for €1m. Valère Germain, Ricardo Pereira, Carlos Eduardo on loan. And at the same time being AWESOME with youth players. Several seasons in a row, Nice were by far the youngest team in the five biggest leagues. Jordan Amavi and Vincent Koziello a few examples of players he made starters. Favre is great. But. Puel deserves so much credit for the things he did for four years, with literally no money. During the 2013/2014 season, he didn't spend a single euro on transfer fees. Mendy and Bodmer for free, Brüls on loan. That was it. Over four years, he spent €11m on signing. Sold players for €30m.
