Hope this is not the reason that K Billy has not revealed the name of the mystery manager

What an excellent choice. He said he was the best coach in the league and then said he didn't regret saying it because he was the best golfer and the best cricketer in the world as well. We can't go wrong but with his ambition like that, expect Everton to lure him from us

Jurgen Klinsmann?

Amazing to think that we have the current Italy No 9 in our squad - would we ever have thought that when we were in administration. So proud of saints

Matt Le Tissier interviewed on Alan Brazil. Summary: Doesn't think the club is that far down the line for FDB to be favourite. Set up is a million times better then when he was there - attention to detail fantastic. Credits Paul Mitchell, Les, Ross. Not a major panic losing manager. VVD superb Mane temperamental but would take a massive bid for him to go Other clubs pay over the top for our players Only a few clubs in Europe are not feeder clubs

See this tweet from Adrian

Structure of the club, on-going progression, good recruitment. He was enthusiastic about De Boer. I hope this is not the kiss of death. Alan Brazil took a more 'traditional' view though . . .

. . . so says journo Adrian Clarke on the Alan Brazil sports breakfast

Mods - please can you rule that any posts relating to Everton are off-topic - it is getting boring sifting through the bluenose posts to find the saints one (which are the only ones worth reading)

If Howe does not have enough experience then why consider Giggs or Neville as they have even less. Maybe Fonte could learn the ropes alongside our next manager so there is continuity for the future?

Does the club want to sell him? Guan has said a couple of times that he is leaving

that is a terrible thing to say

Throwing money at another club's manager is a sign of desperation not ambition. Blue noses - get back to your own forum and worry about Klopp.

Getting a bit worried about the Bertrand injury - remember the club saying Chambers was ill when he was at Arsenal

The variation in the odds indicate that no one has a clue who is going to be our next manager

After the way he was treated by Man U, I'd be amazed if he ever wanted to set foot in this country again.

Ban them!

Keeping us in the top half would not be good enough for our Board

Damn - Charlton have got Russell Slade

His win percentage is better than Busby's - just. I'm trying to think of something positive about him in case he is appointed

Out of the five quoted, I hope it isn't Moyes - although his win % at Man U was the third best of all time (according to Wikipedia)

Probably wanting to negotiate a deal elsewhere . . . Seville may be looking for a new manager soon

There have been equally vile tweets by Everton fans regarding creating a Hillsborough style disaster at St Mary's. Whoever posts stuff like this are not true fans of either club. Everton fans are obsessed with us :roll eyes: Why bother registering on another club's forum? Do you really think we are interested in your opinion - you know nothing about Saints, our Board or philosophy. So please - just go away and concentrate on your neighbours

Not sure that FDB is still on the shortlist. He was not one of the four that Guan mentionned. He then said "Manuel Pellegrini wasn't even on the short-list, unlike De Boer" but that shortlist was drawn up before the end of the season. So maybe FDB was on the list but isn't now. Hope he still is on the short list and Moyes is not on the short list

Remember this - posted in January? Blue noses please take note before you start going on about glass-ceilings and lack of ambition.
