The Kraken Posted 16 December, 2013 Share Posted 16 December, 2013 Cant believe Levys had 9 managers in 12 years... And you'd have to say that none of them have gone in there and shaped a side in their mould. There's something not quite working. We're very much in MP's mould, but you look at sides like Arsenal under Wenger, Liverpool under Rodgers, Chelsea under Mourinho first time round, Swansea under Laudrup, even Everton under Martinez. Those teams play in the certain style of their manager and look to do things in their own way. Never had that feeling with Spurs, and I don't think they've ever made the most of their sizeable spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Posted 16 December, 2013 Share Posted 16 December, 2013 Hoddle took over Saints from a good manager who had assembled a decent team but was underperforming. That manager left in surprising circumstances. Hoddle stayed a year, made us tough to beat, but playing solid, passing football and we shot up the table. Hoddle fled to Spurs after 12 months. Obviously that couldn't happen again. Obviously. Oh god. Jones wasn't a good manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 16 December, 2013 Share Posted 16 December, 2013 He was no Peter Shreeves but he did a job for us. I remember back in the Old Saintsforever days when he joined us from Stockport and talked about losing the 'struggling southampton' tag lots of people acclaimed him a great manager who was a hero and if we had stuck with him could have gone on and become our bill Shankley. The place went into meltdown for about 25 minutes when he was sacked with everyone outraged and planning protests against Lowe at the next home game. Then we realised he was a terrible manager and a clueless scouse bumpkin who we were best off shot of and would find his level in the championship, now we had Hoddle and he was going to take us to the next level.

It is really stupid - I really hope we don't become like Spain where the managers just get recycled around the same clubs (so it seems). We need more Wenger, Moyes and Sir Alex types - but who have the luxury of boards that aren't happy to chop after 2 defeats. It's like they've never heard of teams having a bad period.

dellboypete Posted 17 December, 2013 Share Posted 17 December, 2013 Matt Dickenson in The Times this morning has a full page spread - obviously doesn't think to much of AVB. However there is a foto of avb looking particularly haggard - and right along side it is the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal for the homeless and destitute. It's too much of a coincidence surely. I took a foto on my mobile and sent it round and caused a lot of mirth. (It actually reminded me of the foto somebody posted on here of the Samaritans signs on the Itchen Bridge, with St Marys in the back ground when we were relegated and almost out of business) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalek2003 Posted 17 December, 2013 Share Posted 17 December, 2013 I always thought Hoddle was a good manager,did very well when he was here and had players like Oakley and Beattie playing like superstars The majority of fans would have welcomed Hoddle back to Southampton in 2004, but we got Sturrock instead. Nearly ten years on and the appointment of Sturrock over Hoddle remains one of the strangest decisions the SFC board made. They were probably mistakenly swayed by a small but very vocal section of fans. It is not unreasonable to trace the decline of the club at the time to this decision.

Having said that, still think we could have been spared a lot of pain if Hoddle had been appointed as SFC manager in 2004. Nearly 10 years on and the discussion rumbles on.
