Coach isnt manager is it?

New info? It just puts a negative spin on the whole thing as usual. Shaw and Lallana clearly wanted out whether we tried to keep them or not (and Lovren for that matter). Nothing about the lack of loyalty or commitment from the players to the club who did so much for them.

Agreed, hardly deep investigative reporting.

Pure conjecture and why even bother to talk about it when the bloke has only just arrived? (and ask Arsenal fans about spending huge money)

Ferguson didnt want to manager Scotland, Wenger France so what makes you think that Ron is gagging to manage Holland?

Laughing stock? The people I speak to (and I live a long way from Southampton) speak very respectfully about all of the talent we produce and what a good club we are.

This is purely a gut feeling but I think he sees his career here as a bit longer than a couple of years. Not everyone sees the management of an International team as the pinnicle of their career. A lot of the best managers - Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho etc - see top club management as the better job. Time will tell of course but I do get the feeling he is looking to build something here.

The best signing we have made so far is Ronald Koeman. I have a feeling that this guy will become a SFC legend.

Dude, you speak so much sense, are you sure you are on the right forum?

Spot on

But how much did we actually pay for him in real terms?

No just three as usual

Or maybe not?

Is the blonde tart at the back intimating that Hodgson is a d*ckhead?

Yay, we've got our nuns back!

And many SFC Boards before them too (and at a number of othe clubs).

Which is what the Board are doing.

I know, it is bizarre isnt it? It could well be that we have our eye elsewhere but the traget wont be available for a while so this is a stop gap which, if it works, could be permanent. We really dont know but there clearly is a reason why this is a loan. The bedwetters moan when we dont sign someone and then moan when we do. Hey ho....

The situation is very different now though.
