SB Posted 6 September, 2010 Share Posted 6 September, 2010 (edited) Far better an idea than expecting Martin O'Neil to be seriously considering Managing a Third Division Team It's about time people realised that we are NOT as Big as some people Dream we are. To get ANY result, it has to be EARNT. To get Promotion, it has to be DESERVED Plymouth, Leyton Orient and Rochdale have already shattered our Pedestel, and that's just League results But what Southampton have that others might not have is potential, as some people have said the clubs financial situation and the amount of money spent we have the potential to get back into the premier league, which I'm sure lots of potential managers have seen hens the guardian saying the club received 50 applicants. therefore any manager who does get the job will have pressure, but if the funds and results are available then the its a good move for Southampton and the manager, with potential to reach the premier league & with the manager having a brilliant CV, plus a nice pay package..

SaintRichmond Posted 6 September, 2010 Share Posted 6 September, 2010 anyone thought it might be Gianluca Vialli ? Yup, he's had shed loads of experience in the Lower Leagues of the UK Viali, Zola, O'Neil FFS They are used to TOP Leagues (You don't buy a Limo if you have to cross a ploughed field) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your "Key" word is POTENTIAL, and we have LOADS BUT, it has to be Channelled in the right direction, by the right type of person At this time, getting a so called "Top" man WITH PREM EXPERIENCE will not work A Manager with proven Division One Experience is needed, TO GET US OUT OF DIVISION ONE The time for a Prem Quality Manager is when we are back in the Prem, and by that time, the Manager that led us back to the Top may have developed into a TOP MANAGER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted 6 September, 2010 Share Posted 6 September, 2010 I wouldn't mind Avram Grant at all. The skates would hate it You at joking right - he's a terrible manager! We had a Skate in charge before and look where it got us. Apart from a lucky FA Cup run his record at Pompey was awful - and at Chelsea he just sat there as it happened aroun him. And he's not exactly impressing the hammers fans is he. We don't need or want a foreigner - we need someone who can get us out of this division - who understands English Football and League 1! Nigel Adkins possibly. But I'd go for Tony Mowbray - he's English, understands lower league football and built a team playing great football at WBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seany S Posted 6 September, 2010 Share Posted 6 September, 2010 Yeah man, he would be an interesting appointment, just cant see him jacking in Blackpool for us. He has done well there, and even if they may well get relegated, can't see him giving up just a few games in. It is ****** anyway dude, like I said, on facebook, was probably a wind up anyway!!

Thedelldays Posted 6 September, 2010 Share Posted 6 September, 2010 holloway is a good manager... got QPR automatically out of this league...did very well at plymouth before leaving for leicester, where it never worked out... had time out to reflect and look at his failings...takes the blackpool job with a bonus just to keep them up...and bloody gets them promoted playing fun attacking football... maybe, he is having his moment now and after blackpool, will fade back to the NPC etc....but fun anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSaint Posted 6 September, 2010 Share Posted 6 September, 2010 Holloway would make it fun to support Saints again but honestly couldnt see him hitting if off with NC. But I thought Holloway was very clear at the start of the season that he would toe the chairman's line at Blackpool - even if it presented him with serious challenges. I like the guy, and I think he'd do a hell of a lot better job at supporter and media relations than Cortese, not that this would be difficult! Whether he's the right guy for us is another question, but I wouldn't be ticked off it it turned out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints Warrior Posted 6 September, 2010 Share Posted 6 September, 2010 Anyone who gets Hull FC promoted must be good. The season before Hull went up they were as bad as Saints now...Mind you how did Bournemouth get promoted, we appear to miss all these managers who can get unlikly clubs promoted. But you look at these managers and Holloway they are all characters that I cant see getting on with Lowe II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
