Here’s an old one. Eddie Howe could be up for grabs soon. 

Not a chance does he go anywhere near the championship.

Also Newcastle owner love him for bringing silverware in the cup which is probably their best option.

Didn't the Rodgers thing came from an 'ITK' saying he has interviewed for it? If he has interviewed for the job, then he must hold some degree of wanting to come here.

We wouldn’t “interview “ Rodger’s, he’d interview us. What planet are you on if you think he’s sitting there waiting for the result of his interview, hoping he’s impressed SR and will be given the chance to manage the mighty Southampton. IF, and it’s a fucking big it,  appointed, it will because SR have sold the club & their ambition to him, not the other way round….

Of all the managers named so far Rogers seems to fit the bill best by far. I’d just be a bit concerned by the manner of his dismissals at Leicester and Celtic. But his CV stands up with many top managers and you’d like to think he’d have the gravitas to get our current lot into shape.

I still stand by my original belief that Eckert will get the job though. Just seems like he was lined up for it to me. Which I think would be a really bad move. And I also don’t like the idea of managers being forced to use a coaching team they wouldn’t choose themselves.

Most managers will have an expiry date for a club, hopefully this appointment will be longer than we recently have, however, I can’t see Eckert bucking the trend. We’re the new Watford!
 

Only down side to Rogers is the team’s defence tend to be weak at set pieces and crosses. Generally good going forward though and I can see him getting this squad to perform better.

FootyInsider on Twitter just said Southampton are advancing in talks for GON.

Take it with a pinch of salt as that account regularly spouts utter bollocks. 😂

It’s a joke of a site Footyinsider is as much use as a third nostril

It would also be foolish to appoint the wrong person just for the sake of getting them in instantly. If waiting a while longer means we get a much better candidate in post (far from certain where SR are concerned, I acknowledge) then that is surely a better option.

Respectfully, I disagree.  We don’t have the luxury of time and lose against Charlton and everyone will be moaning that SR didn’t get the manager sorted.

I will add, that although we won, albeit against two awful teams, we haven’t turned the corner regarding performances.  The team doesn’t look the sum of its parts.

The club have got away with using Eckert as an interim but I wouldn’t be pushing my luck if I was SR.

Exactly this. Le Tiss was saying something similar that you shouldn’t dwell too long on an interim manager. 3 weeks is ample time to find someone competent.

Doesn’t sound like they have been listening to him.

its just as likely the bookies know O'Neill is out the of the running now so are happy to use the media to encourage people to put a bet on him - knowing they wont have to pay out.

I don’t think anyone would be unhappy with Rogers.  Although I think he’s preference for getting to Newport was the Portsmouth to Ryde ferry so that might make him a skate bastard.

I think a few would, but at the end of the day we are not going to please everyone. Someone the majority can get behind is the best we can hope for.

Two of GON’s former clubs looking for a manager now in Boro and Norwich, surely he ends up at one of them. Martin also in with a good shout of the Norwich job, not sure they’d grumble much at Farke returning either.

Martin is not popular at Norwich!

Is he popular anywhere ? Apart from the Pinder house, and anywhere you find an assortment of vegans, greens, and lefties in Brighton.

I know it’s probably bullshit but if SR crack on with trying to appoint O’Neil after the fans made it very clear he’s not welcome yesterday then it’s time for mass protests.

You know there will be no mass protests if they appoint GON. Nothing of the sort.

Honestly you'd think we were going to appoint John Westwood's wig as first team manager.

A few songs is very different from mass protests.....it will never get to that if he is appointed

Leak an unpopular candidate before an appointing and underwhelming one to much relief from the fan base. An old tactic

It was over as soon the source was the cesspit that is Football Insider. They aren't credible in any way.

I'd give Viera a try.

I was watching a talk with Charlie Austin talking about Ronald Koeman.

He said that he had an aura and owned the room when he walked in.

I think that Viera would be similar and command respect from everyone.

Whelher he would want to come to a Championship club is another matter.

My concern is there is no urgency to get this done.  Could be wrong though.  I could just see Saints not making a decision in this two weeks as they want to be thorough but then giving up the opportunity to start training the players how the manager wants to.  Instead, they will be training like the under 21s and then when we finally have a manger it bill be pressure on as we will be in the run up to Xmas and the manager hardly has time in-between matches.  However, I hope I'm wrong.  

Nathan Jones had the whole of the World Cup break to get across his style - we were shite.

Will Still had a whole pre season to get across his style - we were shite.

I’d rather they waited and got the right person than just appoint someone because they’ve got an international break to ‘get across their ideas’ - Poch and Ralph (as recent examples) didn’t seem to have an issue.

Anything else?

I don’t know who else has been or is being interviewed. The only other piece of knowledge I have at this point is that Spors personal preference is to appoint Tonda , but that’s not the preference of others involved in making the decision. If I get any more snippets I’ll let everyone know, hoping to hear more this week.
