New Manager Gossip & Rumours

I heard from depo got the pm, the new manager will be........Nicola Cortese.

What is the point of posts that say "I know but I'm not telling"? If you know and you've been asked to keep quiet why don't you just do that? It's very irritating.

 

BTW, I know but I'm not telling.

You'll all be saying I'm right come wednesday.

Why would repeating a rumour derail the appointment of a manager? This is a forum for discussing rumour and opinions - if you claim to know just post it

 

All this "I know but can't say" stuff is ****** - if you can't say then say nothing at all.

TBF, I don't know anything.

Other than what's in the PMs.

Have to say, I'm not sure how good Martin O'Neil would be, there were stories of player unrest at Aston Villa and after he left wasn't there stories that the players all cheered.

Probably cos O Neil is strict, disciplined & pulls no punches. I like Martin O Neil a lot. Very clever bloke. Modern day footballers didn't like it cos they probably had to work a little bit harder than Anthony Mc Numpty at Club X up the road for the thousands/wk pay cheque. Or the brutal truth was too much for some of their fragile football egos after being told they were the best in their team throughout their childhood!

Managering top level clubs is a tough, tough, highly pressured job. O Neil did a fine job at Villa & deserves credit. It's all too easy to criticise but he is a class above IMHO. Sometimes, the face just doesn't, whether with the fans but more importantly , with the chairman. Being Saints fans, we should know that better than most!!

TBF, I don't know anything.

Then post it. What's the harm?

I will refer you to the opening post on this thread,originally dated 30 August,gotta be worth more that £100,

whn did you hear and from who?

Right,someone PM with the name,source and relevent details please,just to see if it fits in with what i am led to believe.

Cue hoards of meaningless PM's.

whn did you hear and from who?

Take a look at the OP. not much more to add,except Zola has had contact from Cortese apparently.

This potential manager must have the wow factor as all those ITK are creaming themselves.

With that in mind it has to be someone outrageous like:

Keegan and Shearer dream machine

David Beckham Player manager

Maradona

Eric Cantona

Keegan and LeTissier dream machine

The Pope

George Bush junior

Eddie The Eagle

Have I nailed it?

Then post it. What's the harm?

We all told Patred we wouldn't.

It is a frustrating time for all of us, I am sure. We will all find out very soon. I know how it feels guys - utterly frustrating, but hang in there and you won't be disappointed.

You're having a field day on the main forum aren't you.

But I miss you over in the arts forum; I hope you will come back into the fold soon once the new manager has been appointed.

PS> Thanks for the PM. Wow!

Then post it. What's the harm?

I think you will find its a really ghey attempt at seeing how many suckers will ask for a PM.

Looks like Redflapps FFS!

I vote for Duncan Holley.......

A lot of history with this man..

A plane talking kind of guy who knows when to wing it..

Will operate at full throttle even though he has his head in the clouds at times.

Knowledgeable...allegedly? Particularly all around Europe..

Very good looking.....So derry tells me...Having met him I do not believe a word derry says..

Good strike rate in his time....

Has been able to listen and work with some good CEOs in his day....Well most were good to FF..

Downside..

This will never get off the ground but the players would have extraordinary high wages and would have world class perks

and only train when they wanted to..

FF for boss..

WIF Duncs..

My source is a Pakistani cricketer.

Any details on whether this person is English and currently at another club would be simple enough to share.

I will let somebody WOW me with a PM....

Would be distraught if it was maradona. I can see it being Leonardo, Zola or Jose the special one.

be nice to have a pm also, need to be wowed today, just fell over and grazed my knee.

Cant really see Maradona trogging it up to Rochdale on a cold and wet winters night!

I've just heard who it is. Not impressed.

I've just heard who it is. Not impressed.

why not say who it is?

Cant really see Maradona trogging it up to Rochdale on a cold and wet winters night!

He likes the wet:

Has this person everyone is pooing themselves over, been offered the job or accepted the job?

I've just heard who it is. Not impressed.

If you won't give his name, can you at least tell us (in you're opinion) is this person better or worse than AP??

If you won't give his name, can you at least tell us (in you're opinion) is this person better or worse than AP??

I don't really know, just joining in this pretend to be ITK ******.

This thread really is nonsense.....

Ok, where have you all gone?

Seems to be a lot of PM tension on here today

PM my arse

I think that of the contenders only MoN would seriously wow the majority on here - any other candidate would be lucky to wow more than 30% of the supporters

John Gregory and Phil Brown......Now that would be blinding...

Patred has just e-mailed me, I'm not into all this cloak and dagger shyte, so I'm bearing all. The 'new' manager to be unveiled on Wednesday is :

LUGGY, thats right folks he's coming back........

I think that of the contenders only MoN would seriously wow the majority on here - any other candidate would be lucky to wow more than 30% of the supporters

You're only saying that because you don't know who it is. All I'm saying is that he's based in Austria and has a knowledge of the game that is second to none.

Has Donadoni been mentioned.....Apologies if already out there..

On one of the sites/tv mention of him interested in working for a top team..

Right,someone PM with the name,source and relevent details please,just to see if it fits in with what i am led to believe.

 

Cue hoards of meaningless PM's.

Afankoo.

I think anyone who mentions Martin O ****ing Neil should be put on a thread of shame and endlessly mocked as having no knowledge of football.

Some who has just left Villa, and is being touted around to take over from Ferguson at Man U is not going to drop down to the 3rd tier.

I'm about to lose control and I think I like it

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it

Thanks for the PM Patred!

One word: WOW

I think anyone who mentions Martin O ****ing Neil should be put on a thread of shame and endlessly mocked as having no knowledge of football.

 

Some who has just left Villa, and is being touted around to take over from Ferguson at Man U is not going to drop down to the 3rd tier.

to be fair, Ferguson will be at UTD until he is 85 lol

You're only saying that because you don't know who it is. All I'm saying is that he's based in Austria and has a knowledge of the game that is second to none.

Adolf Hitler?

To be honest no one said it was a 'Wow' factor in only the good sense - it might be 'Wow! He's really, really crap'.

You're only saying that because you don't know who it is. All I'm saying is that he's based in Austria and has a knowledge of the game that is second to none.

Totally agree...That is where my money is going.....

Sorry forgot...WOW, WOW ,WOW

or Bow Wow Wow

I think if there were message boards in the days when we signed KK, many would have said the same thing. My head says no way, but money talks!

Can someone PM me with the news?

Can someone PM me with the news?

Me too please?

Me too please?

I think the new is that Alpine is the boss lol!!

Is it Alpine Saint?

i think the new is that alpine is the boss lol!!

wow!

Can someone PM me as well, i cant work it out and i will not divulge it.

I am amazed at some of the silly posts on this fred...

Sum of us real football posters take this subject very seriously...

Now lets have less of this nonsense.....pleeeeese or I will get Rupes back to sort this mess...

Perhaps all the In The Knowers could just say when 'Super Manager' is going to be appointed so that stop my OCD of going between here and the OS and also save me the trouble of flicking through pages and pages and pages of posts that actually give me no clue.

Saints are **** and my Sunday morning team lost 2-1 to a last seconds goal to our most bitter rivals and all that after pummelling for most of the game and missing chance after chance....sound familiar?

I could do with some 'football' cheering up.

Swindon being bottom of the table kept a lot of stick away from me this morning although I, personally, was still held accountable for the 'no-programmes' on Tuesday night, the sacking of Alan Pardew and Saints defence - oh and the Swindon supporters all say it is Alan Shearer who is going to be the next Saints manager. They know as much as I do so it is as accurate.
