buctootim Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 He's said he views Napoli as a 'stopgap' and wants to return to England. You have to assume he's been holding out for a top job but it doesn't look like he'll be getting one this summer. If Pochettino leaves for Spurs we're the best English job going but I doubt he's so desperate to come back to the PL that he'd join us. Out of our league, sadly. He may be out of our league, but Naples is a nightmare to live in. I imagine he'd consider anywhere half decent (not that he wont have other offers obviously).

teacher Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 Didn't fancy reading back through 10 pages of this but has anyone mentioned Gary Neville? Like the idea, however would never happen because of his media and England commitments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamsaint Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 McClaren's stock is pretty high these days. Would think he was a big enough name for the board to contemplate. FWIW. Not saying he is the one for us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buctootim Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 I didn't say it was that simple, but Howe has done very little. If he's a candidate, by definition so are about 20 other managers from the championship/L1 over the past few years. How exactly do you expect our squad to react to Pochettinno leaving and Eddie Howe replacing him? I think we can get someone more proven than Howe, but its simplistic to write people off as Championship quality because they're in the championship - especially when they're young. By that logic Clyne, Lambert, Rodriguez, Lallana etc wouldnt have been good enough for us either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 As I said earlier, where will he go? All I ever hear is that he misses the prem. Man Utd would never appoint him, Chelsea would never appoint him again, I doubt Everton would. Liverpool have a manager for a good few years. I doubt Arsenal would go for him and they don't need a manager now. Spurs are about to appoint one. So where on earth is he going to go? As far as I can tell right this second, Saints are his best English option, crazy as it might seem. Bet he'd get a lot more love from saints fans than he ever did at Chelsea.........well until dumps us for spurs:? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWD Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 I think people are being a little conservative. Remember we (currently) have a superb, young team with several internationals, a secure financial situation, and a youth set up that is envied the world over. Not to mention brand new, world class facilities on the way. With all due respect to a bloke I have a lot of time for, we won't be looking at managers the calibre of Nigel Adkins.

Give it to Ron Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 Henrik Larrsson although he wouldn't stay long.....not Howe for me we need someone that can attract replacements. I think it will be low rent though so Hughton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint J 77 Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 I've said it twice and I'll say it again. Eddie Howe will be the next Saints manager. His heart will not be in it. His heart lies with Bournemouth. I'd rather have Adkins back if we are going for championship managers. In fact I am not liking any names being thrown about on here. Sounds like slim pickings on the replacement front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 Is very true, despite all the gloom, we are the best Premier League job going, lots of good players, healthy finances, world class academy. Let's not pretend there won't be big interest. Maybe I'm mad but I do think Benitez might be up for it. The guy who completely ignored liverpool's youth system. Personally I'm hopeful there's zero chance he'd come to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant remember the exact words from de Boer's interview but he talked a lot about not wanting to be at club where he didn't feel he could add anything -like Barcelona or Real Madrid; about wanting to be as coach not a manager; wanting be in a bigger league like the PL or La Liga and about feeling involved in a project. It all sounded a lot more like Saints than Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulful Odin Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 McClaren bringing will hughes with him would be delightful Boruc Chambers - Fonte- Caulker- Cresswell Wanyama Cork JWP hughes davis (JRod when fit) Lambert Definitely a step back without shaw, lovren, schneiderlein, lallana but as an absolute worst case scenario it wouldn't be the end of the world (Loads of money in the bank with that XI). Still positive attacking football good enough for mid table and maybe a tilt at the cups with McClaren ( who has won silverware).
