Looks like we won't be able to hire Will Stills brother as the new manager, he's going to Watford.

A cushy 6 months for him there before the inevitable 

 

Watford trying to compete with us and West Brom for the most ludicrous and out of depth appointment of the season.
 

The Still brothers could well occupy two of the three worst appointments. WBA certainly taking the other place as things stand.

Eckert can manage the first half, Frank the second 🔥

Spurs look like a club who need some love. They have players who can train like beasts and have such beautiful potential

The most inevitable inevitabilities that was ever inevitably likely to happen. Spurs are in a relegation battle (presently) and there was no way they're bad enough on paper at least. The media will still refer to them as a top 6 side though.

That club is such a poisoned chalice for anyone. They've gone through Conte, Mourinho, Frank, who are clearly not bad managers given their records elsewhere. If you stuck Emery in charge there, he'd be out within 10 months too.

I couldn't tell you what they need, it's fun to watch their decline though as their fans are a bunch of entitled morons. They're not too big to get relegated, just like West Ham and Newcastle of yesteryear. They're in big trouble.

[Saint Marky]

Well the North London Yobbos have sacked Frank and he didn’t even make it to eight months in charge. Brentford are doing well in the prem at the moment with their new manager, so is Frank the great manager he is perceived to be and would he be preferred to our Tonda?

We may not have a vacancy for a while so may not be an issue. But given he failed at Spurs, what level of club is he likely to attract? A Prem struggler or a Champ side challenging for promotion. We are one of those.

Palace will need a new manager come the summer. I guess it depends on whether he wants to jump straight back into management or bide his time and wait until the summer. There may be a few Prem jobs available come the summer (Burnley probably though they'll be in the Championship, maybe Forest) and, additionally, there's the World Cup which he may have punditry duties for (as he has before for the Euros I believe). He'll have offers but the stint at Spurs won't have helped his reputation at so-called bigger clubs.

If Burnley haven't sacked him at this point of a bad PL season, why would they in the summer? He has been good in the Championship. If Forest stay up I doubt there'll be a sacking there either.

I don't think Parker will last the season. Just a hunch

Interesting viewpoint and I think what we have been trying to ‘create’ at Saints under SR. Very unsuccessfully in our case.

Spurs fans, seriously deluded lot. 
 

Spurs need to be relegated.

Deluded about what? 
 

They should be in the top 6 pretty much every season. Probably the best stadium in the league, they are underachieving big time. Nothing deluded about high expectations…

[bpsaint]

Can see Thomas Frank going somewhere like Germany to manage his next club and lick his wounds for a while.

I heard on the news earlier that ‘Arry was willing to manage them on an interim basis, can’t work out if that would be a good thing for them or not!

They’ve been in decline for 4 years, expecting to change that in 8 months is deluded.

Thomas Frank is not coming to Southampton. 😂

Very enlightening. And it’s clear to see that is the approach Rasmus would have pitched to Solak.

Dyche available.

He’s one of the 4 candidates for PL manager of the month and is a survival specialist. 4th manager of the season to follow. Starting to think they might drop.

[Saint NL]

Frank and Dyche (and Tonda) dream team. Get it done SR!

Didn’t make it through the night. Watch out Parker.
