SO16_Saint Posted 16 July, 2009 Share Posted 16 July, 2009 So, no one has ANY idea who, or when, the new manager will be appointed? It's quite nice, really. Going back to the good ol days before the internet when you heard the news on the regional tv or radio! It seems that the only ITK people under the new regime are the owner and his advisors.

Saintjersey Posted 16 July, 2009 Share Posted 16 July, 2009 I reckon either tomorrow, Monday or Tuesday. I would hope it isn't any later than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Posted 16 July, 2009 Share Posted 16 July, 2009 My concern isn't lack of ITK suggestions, more that noone is confident enough to put FACT at the end of any suggestion. Worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheff Saint Posted 16 July, 2009 Share Posted 16 July, 2009 I also think some of it is linked to our division 3 status. I don't think anyone in the national press really care about division 3 teams. Thus no digging around, no high profile money making agents to make stories up, less blood thristy players cos they know they're all sh*t. Nice isn't it.

NickG Posted 16 July, 2009 Share Posted 16 July, 2009 think people are going on who they want rather than who is likely. The bookies are following that. T Adams is the exception but guess thats come from his agent. Makes it interesting and agree no-one here has a clue. If they announce at Ajax game will be great if its popular choice like Coppell, Keegan or Strachen but if its someone most have not heard of could be anti-climax! If its someone currently employed then it is almost certain to be in the press before its agreed, as soon as we ask formal permission to talk. As they say they have the short list, and are speaking to people on it, I suspect they are people out of work or overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back to the good ol days before the internet when you heard the news on the regional tv or radio! It seems that the only ITK people under the new regime are the owner and his advisors. Hopefully the new regime will mean an end to the ITKers, who, let's face it were clearly far from it. Of course there is a sense of urgency to get the new manager in place and without doubt this activity is going on behind the scenes and let's hope it stays that way. ML is a proven businessman of outstanding success and we have to trust that he and his team are going about this in the right manner. Let's get someone in but let's make sure it's the right person to help us going forwards. Another few days won't make any difference so all the worrying and agitating on here should be put to one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpturner Posted 16 July, 2009 Share Posted 16 July, 2009 I've only been on this site since April, but in my experience so far (in what has been quite a turbulent time) the only pieces of information that have proved to be 100% correct have only arrived on this site AFTER it has appeared on SSN, the Echo or the OS.

SP Saint Posted 16 July, 2009 Share Posted 16 July, 2009 A bit like when Mr Lowe was all cagey and then announced Stuart Gray had been given the managers job full time. What a let down that was! Which in turn was rather similar to Lowe's next appointment in October 2001 when there was a lukewarm reception for news of the arrival of a certain relegated and sacked reject from Coventry. Cynics will say one failed manager taking over from a sacked manager is not ideal and underlines the dearth of young managerial talent in the English leagues. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/leagueone/southampton/3015229/Strachan-due-south-as-Gray-loses-his-way.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new incarnation of Radio Hants, 'Play FM', is no better IMO and not as good as RH anyway (I used to like Brothers chat on Saints etc.). Interestingly Solent this morning said we hope to make an appointment by Saturday, and also South Today implied similar last night, in contrast to them both recently saying maybe this week, maybe not. It's a fine semantic difference and maybe I'm clutching at straws, but ...... Maybe we should ask Lynam. ;-) I see he reappeared on 'the Oldknow in no hurry' thread, and people are still taking him seriously! K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
