trousers Posted 9 September, 2010 Share Posted 9 September, 2010 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2148505,00.html Southampton Football Club ("the Club") wishes to make clear that it is continuing its discussions with a number of potential candidates for the post of First Team Manager. Contrary to some highly misleading comments published this morning, the Club has made no ultimatums, has not made any approaches without appropriate permissions, and is fully aware that appropriate compensation payments become due where the candidate managers are currently under contract. The Club has acted in an entirely professional manner and will continue to do so. No further comment will be made on this matter until the Club has appointed a new First Team Manager.

Wade Garrett Posted 9 September, 2010 Share Posted 9 September, 2010 'continuing its discussions with a number of potential candidates for the post of First Team Manager' There you go. The official line is we haven't made our minds up yet. Ridiculous the amount of time it's taking. Maybe this is a weakness in the new structure of the club. If it takes this long to appoint a manager, how long to sign a player. Not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint lard Posted 9 September, 2010 Share Posted 9 September, 2010 This is the first word we have had officially from SFC for sometime,including this morning reference Adkins. At no point did SFC claim it was a done deal with Adkins,all guess work by the media which appears to have been led by the scunny chairman. i will keep an opened mind.

saintmonkey1979 Posted 9 September, 2010 Share Posted 9 September, 2010 Won't be Atkins now though will it! I wouldn't think so. I can't imagine him being too popular at Scunny either, having (reportedly) agreed terms with us. How can his reputation there be intact after actively trying to leave?

JonnyLove Posted 9 September, 2010 Share Posted 9 September, 2010 See this is what happens when people talk before it is confirmed by the club first. (See Echo issue on training ground and also that defender from Voventry as well). That means Phil brown is out as well as he blabbed on talk sport yesterday. So far MON and EH have been very silent on all fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy_D Posted 9 September, 2010 Share Posted 9 September, 2010 Notice how the quotes from the Scunny chairman don't say we didn't offer any compensation, only that none was agreed. Methinks they were asking for a silly amount and we walked away. What's caused their chairman to come out with claims of tapping up in effect... could be us, could be him, but there's no way of telling for the moment.

Gator Posted 9 September, 2010 Share Posted 9 September, 2010 Sounds to me like Cortese slept on his decision last night and woke with cold feet.

I am a little concerned that the Scunny chairman stated we made an ultimatum for him to resign but that doesn't strike me as Cortese's style. So I would refer back to my theory and this being an emotional p*ssed off reaction from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSFC Posted 9 September, 2010 Share Posted 9 September, 2010 'continuing its discussions with a number of potential candidates for the post of First Team Manager' Ridiculous the amount of time it's taking. Maybe this is a weakness in the new structure of the club. If it takes this long to appoint a manager, how long to sign a player. Not happy. I think most people are impatient as you, me included, but it's hardly ridiculous or a slant on the structure. Probably more indicative of the number of applicants. Aston Villa took 3-4 weeks to appoint Houllier and they apparently only interviewed 3 people. Get a grip mate!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
