Who do we want next as Saints manager?

[Fabrice29]

I’m not even that arsed about Rohl necessarily but do feel the obvious stuff needs pointing out in his defence sometimes 🤣

We're more likely to get Richard Chorley than Alonso 

Havent heard or seen Rich for a while, I do hope he's ok

Has that coin throwing ban been lifted? 🙂

For a small weekly contribution you can enter the Valhalla of SaintsWeb legends.

If you're not falling for that, then it's the satisfaction of a post well done (I mean, you did it well, not because the flames cooked it). 🙂

Not arsed about Rohl or with the obsession with trying to find the next genius young coach. If they're any good then they'll only get snapped up after a season or two. That would probably suit SR's business model of trying to make a huge profit from every appointment. 

Let's just go for someone with a bit of experience who can do a job in the championship. Cooper or Dyche would be fairly safe bets. 

If they want someone younger then I guess I'd go for Rosenior or Carsley but I doubt either would come.

It’s beyond madness that people want us to settle for fairly safe bets and will actively say they are not arsed about potentially finding someone good 🤣

Also is a manager who has currently lost 2 out of 3 in Championship play offs really a ‘safe’ bet in your mind?

The idea that we should recruit a manager safe in the knowledge that no other club would ever want to poach them is absolutely insane.

Genuinely I want the opposite. If our next manager is subsequently wanted by big clubs then great. I reckon that will mean we're promoted.

It’s akin to bemoaning the fact the we target players like VVD, Mane etc and they want to leave after a season or two because bigger clubs come in for them. ‘It’s unstable’. Much rather have a season or two of a player well on the up than someone average who will see out his contract.

I hear that Ancelotti is available: Davide Ancelotti.  We could do worse; and probably shall.

The whole point is that Sheff Weds are not well managed. He has created a steady team with little investment under an absolutely basket case ownership.

Aa always, context is key. He has obviously had a massive falling out there aince our approach and their downturn has basically coincided with that.

Like Cortese with Pochettino, Saints with RM etc sometimes recent results or league position aren't the way to judge because if Rohl were to come here then he would have far better players to work with. I am sure that factors such as his development of Shea Charles, experience of working in a RB style etc would be of greater value to Spors as a mechanism of assessing his fit.

What I meant was a decent manager like rohl in this case getting a tune out a lower table championship team.ijust don’t think it’s such a huge feat.. a poor squad  in the championship isn’t as much of a gulf as say us in the premiership ..

We have just seen Luton and Ipswich get promoted neither with super squads.. even Pompey are only 4 points behind sheff Wednesday
