Jose and Cedric did their job well. Well done fellers. Very proud.

Ask Kat then

Roy Keane has always hated Southampton. I can't see him ticking boxes

Stupid, it was Thatcher's fault.

shush

"Despite the difference between the figures, Liverpool are hoping to negotiate a deal for the winger in the coming months and convince the Saints to accept a more acceptable fee for the player." So negotiations are expected to last months, not days, because Southampton are expected to be tough negotiators. That's more like it.

Are you a player's manager?

Links with Steve Davis and has got NI to perform superbly given meagre resources. I do think that if negotiations with candidates are dragging, the introduction of competition won't so any harm

lol

That's more like it

My view too. I think it is churlish to blame Koeman for having no sensible choice other than to negotiate best terms with Everton, neither to blame Les Read for forcing the outcome, in the circumstances. I don't rate RK for wailing to the press saying he was forced out though.

At least

Les has overseen success for his ultimate line manager, Katherina who has instructed him that SFC must live within its means, and balance sheets will always risk the fine line of success or failure on the pitch. I don't think it is a bad thing for Les and co to be aware of supporters views - but ultimately we have not done badly from management decisions so far (and compare with Lowe's later catastrophes!). We don't know whether earlier prospective managers were asking the impossible. Maybe Les might have been erring on caution, and perhaps Pellegrini and Koeman etc were demanding the impossible. But ffs we don't want the likes of an 'arry appointed or repeats of our relegation years. It's difficult being patient, but we have to.

Now is not the time to make presumptions of blame. It is a complicated series of events and causes.

Mods, it really is time to update the poll.

I think that this denigration of JWP has to stop, even in jest. Supporters are supposed to support our academy players.

Excellent Positive news Now for the manager

Mane won't go if SFC - being a well run business, I'm told - won't accept a fee much below what Sterling and Carroll are valued at.

Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk ,,, but only temporarily, because it was 'arry that gave into Lowe and played the whole team - once. Not that we were going to get out of the Championship that way.

Northern Ireland and Wales to follow. That only leaves Adkins

Can we update the poll now, but who other than Puel is on the shortlist?

Not mine

Let's get on with it. If Puel ticks the boxes, Les, sign him. If he doesn't (sigh)

Well said, Vic. We've enjoyed watching you in the team and you have certainly contributed to our rise. Good luck, but have an off day when we play you.

I'm looking forward to preseasons prep against Winchester
