saint lard Posted 30 August, 2010 Author Share Posted 30 August, 2010 Rumours of the return of Glenn Hoddle building up ! Fantastic appointment if it happens !!!!!!!!!! Only in your world and it would be a terrible appointment,imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Lungs Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 I have heard a rumour that we have already appointed Claudio Foscarini, manager of some serie B team and the deal also involves the signing of one of their strikers Matteo Ardemagni. I don't know if you're on a windup but this sounds really quite plausible... :-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint-paul Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 Would be happy with: Tony Mowbray Martin O'Neill (but in no way do I see that as a possibility) People I'm undecided on: Zola Southgate Coleman Brown Would not be happy with: Dowie Hoddle Shearer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsaint Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 Surprised no one saw fit to post that earlier. Unless they did and I missed it as I was away.Perhaps someone can post me a link to the spotting of MON after the Orient game if posted previously. Nobody mentioned it previously because it's bull****. There's no way a high-profile name like that would be able to attend a football stadium on a matchday without being seen by a lot of people. Not that I wouldn't mind him coming here though! If it's not him or Stuart Pearce I'll be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976_Child Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 Would be quite funny if we nicked Gus Poyet from Brighton! That would be funny. But highly unlikely as he has publicly stated he is staying for 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1976_Child Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 Fellas, I have just received a call from Cortese. I said I would only take the job if he could get a wi-fi connection down to the dugout so I could have SaintsWeb Forum available to help with tactics. He's going to look into it for me. I'll get back to y'all but if I do take the job then I will expect only sensible suggestions like putting Kelvin up front and Rickie in goal.

The Fat Controller Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 Hoddle or Keegan would be good - but if it's like any of our signings then we won't work it out until it's announced! Steve McClaren, Martin Jol, or Christian Gross ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 Mowbray is the best realistic option I've heard... Purely on his track record with promotions AND his style play. If this "will eventually be known as the southampton style" stuff is true, then there isn't a chance we'll get there with 90% of the names mentioned.

Seaside Saint 2 Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 If it's going to be an Italian, Bologna sacked their coach Franco Colomba a few days ago due to new owners wanting their own man. He kept them in Serie A last year and has managed a fair few Serie A & B clubs. Surprised no one's mentioned Alan Irvine, doing well with Wednesday, familiar with the Championship, and as David Moyes' former assistant certainly knows the Premier League too. Big difference between us and Wednesday is that they are skint and will probably be in administration within a year. My only concern is that he though Ostemoboor was good enough to sign... Certainly better than Phil Brown or Kevin Blackwell. However, I have a feeling it will be Zola. He did well enough with West Ham in their first season, particularly as he was saddled with all the duds Curbishley had brought in (Kieron Dyer etc....).

Genk Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 Can't get excited about Mowbray, don't know why, may be because he is miserable. Would be happy with Phil Brown or Chris Coleman myself. O'neill would be amazing but won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derry Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 Eddie Howe, Sean O'Driscoll, Lee Clarke, Nigel Adkins, Danny Wilson would all do a good job this year but I think Cortese is now looking for the manager for the rest of the five year plan so this may take a little while yet.

lethallee Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 It will be interesting to see if NC will get someone in for the long term or someone purely to just get us promoted this season.

Junction 9 Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 O'Neill would be a fantastic appointment obviously but I can't see it really happening.
