Toadhall Saint Posted 23 June, 2016 Share Posted 23 June, 2016 The current regime have only signed one, and clearly did not get that one right either in terms of him signing up to the Southampton Way. Sadly our current board are being shown up now as a bit of a shambles, no evidence of the legendary succession planning when reality bites. Not turning into a bed wetter are you vectis? Do you really expect us to get a manager in just like that? Succession planning or not. This is a very important point in the clubs history - get he wrong manager and it could set us back a few years(never mind how much the salary is) - get the right one and we march on. I'm happy to wait for a while longer at least until I start questioning a board that has implemented and overseen the rise to where we find ourselves today.

TwoPints Posted 23 June, 2016 Share Posted 23 June, 2016 Adam Blackmore @bigadamsport 57s57 seconds ago It's my understanding that neither Manuel Pellegrini nor Jurgen Klinsmann are being pursued by #saintsfc to be their new manager I'm hoping for Claude Puel!

saint lard Posted 23 June, 2016 Share Posted 23 June, 2016 Sigh. Another one who would prefer a knee jerk appointment. Just because I'm not excited or inspired by any of the candidates.....doesn't make it a 'knee jerk reaction' to be concerned. I don't think I'm alone in the thought we are picking from the best of a mediocre lot.....barring a proven Pellegrini of course. The fact that many names, on a daily basis are being linked, means we don't know who we want or how to get them. Atleast Everton did that. They made it clear they wanted Koeman.....does the club or even us have a preferred candidate? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the mick channon windmill Posted 23 June, 2016 Share Posted 23 June, 2016 puel would be the most uninspiring of choices, I can't see why he is even being considered as an option.

Verbal Kint Posted 23 June, 2016 Share Posted 23 June, 2016 Pellegrini would have been a lazy choice. Not remotely suited to our club. Puel, Silva, De Boer are much more likely types and I'd be encouraged if we went for one of them that we would have done our homework on them. Pochettino underwhelmed everyone and turned out to be one of the best PL appointments of the last decade. Les Reed has proven he knows what he's doing and deserves a bit of faith from the supporters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint IQ Posted 23 June, 2016 Share Posted 23 June, 2016 (edited) Of course, Mauricio played for Paris St Germain at the time that I watched their every game. Ah fair enough. If you read up on him people have got to admit his record is very impressive and he's shown he has implemented a style at 3 separate clubs, which is the reason FDB is so far down the list apparently. Likes playing and developing youth as well, Olympiakos purposely brought loads of young talent in when they chose to appoint him. Has a European record of most wins in a row from last season and beat Arsenal 3-2 in the CL. Started by getting a club from languishing in the 2nd Portuguese division for 7 years up as champions then got them record finishes in the top flight of 5th and 4th. Then won Sporting a cup Edited 23 June, 2016 by Saint IQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
