Yeah, you are right DD, afterall he has been such a success elsewhere. He certainly has the Wow factor.

I thought you supported Pardew. It looks very likely that Pardew's departure had something to do with Reed. How do you feel about that, you strange little man.

If he listens to Reed and Reed has some responsibility for Pardew going then perhaps he is listening to the wrong people?

You are happy with this bloke then?

We have Les Reed, why should we worry?

Cortese and Reed are the new dreamteam so who needs a coach?

Apparently we re not allowed to critisise Mr Cortese because he saved us from going out of business (which will be comforting if we get relegated again this year). I don't know about Lowesque. I think Nicola is all out there on his own.

How do you know it is not spin? And the question was not literal.

Its amazing isn't it. We had a decent manager who won us a cup and gave us back some self respect and some halfwit starts a thread in reaction to this one to slag the bloke off. Why would any decent manager want to come here and work when the fan base is made up of so many d*ckheads.

So they gave him coaching in sh*gging Fonte's missus? Wilkins must be gutted he missed out on all the fun!

Tactically astute enough to win a cup and would have made the play off but for the -10. Given the points he racked up that is questionable. He sat on a committee including Cortese and two others but feel free to blame him. As for the friendlies how do you know he had anything to do with arranging them? Got anything else?

Why wouldn't they? If they are successful they are a hero, if not they walk away with shedloads of cash. That is why there are queues for football managers jobs.

So the other two were ****ging his missus too?

No Alpine, you feel duty bound to be an utter ar*e.

Decent manager and did a good job for us. Sadly because he didn't win every game he didn't win over the wrist slitters. I hope he gets a better job.

This is an appreciation thread. Take your negativity somewhere else.

If you had ever bothered to read my posts you will know that my two top Saints managers have been McMenemy and Bates. Feel free to tell me how I am being dishonest? I have never said that I think that Burley was a great manager for us, simply that as far as points on the board goes he had the best record. I haven't done the stats but suspect that that other "useless" manager Pardew has now pushed him into 2nd place. Given their records I don't see how you can dismiss either of them as being "rubbish."

Well if you bothered to look at the stats you would see that he did, but your aren't one to let the facts get in the way are you Alps? Tell me, if Lowe had come up with a statement about playing "the Southampton style" what would your reaction have been? (ps Until Pardew came along Burley had the best win ratio of any manager we had. You think both managers are rubbish and prefer one that won 3 games in 13)

Thats true Alps, I was gutted when big Lawrie left us.

Its not hard though is it.

You really are a card Alps, you put the miser in misery.

And you call me a hypocrite

England won the World Cup once.

4 years? Really?

Even it by some miracle it was MoN, how long do you think he and Cortese could work together?
