If you wish the new Southampton manager to be
Answer me these questions three

  1. Will you play a back five?
  2. Will you play Bazunu in goal?
  3. Will you play Archer as the number nine?

If the answer to all three is no - the job is yours!

Isn't his brand of football boring 

If he can get us up while conceding 16 goals all season like he did with Burnley then yeah that’s fine

We’ll decide to keep him. Then the FA will conclude their investigation and suspend him, meaning we need a new manager. He needs to go and the sooner the better

But non of that will happen until 2nd September then new manager appointed mid September who dislikes current squad of players & who’s tactics are polar opposites of squad ability

As posted elsewhere, this would also buy silence.

Parker? More than likely that he'll be at West Ham before the end of next week.

Unless Spurs really screw up today.

We'll get someone we've never heard of.

Think I’ve read that West Ham will keep Nuno.

All depends where you read. Some say yay and some say no. Same for Parker I suppose.

Whats not to love? His teams dominate games, train like beasts and hes skilled at eliminating scar tissue which we'll have a lot of now. PLus he's got a history of achieving promotion on the first time of asking. Yep I'm thinking its RMs red and whites steaming into Edgeley Park in August

I would rather have ‘someone we’ve never heard of’ instead of the usual journeymen managers that do the rounds but never really deliver or whose football is boring. Bournemouth/Brighton can do it, then so can we. I like Frank but wonder if it was Keith Andrews who was running the show at that time.

A massive NO to Russell Martin, who along with Puel, who produced the most soporific football.

The club obviously needs a manager that will get promotion next season but it also needs to change what is now widely perceived to be a rotten culture, it needs to get players, fans, sponsors, and the wider community back on board and give the likes of the saints trust opportunities to benefit from association with the club.

Gareth Southgate would be well suited to the role. Good leader. Understands the bigger picture. Former England manager. Saints connection. Well connected in world football and highly regarded by the FA. Squeaky clean. And a neat irony, strong Middlesborough connections.

I suspect Saints would have little or no chance of getting him and I dunno what he’s doing now, probably fannying around playing golf. Just saying, he fits.

Looks like West Ham are just about to sack Nuno.  Would be surprised if Parker doesn’t get appointed there.

Gone into talks about his future at the club.

Provided he will accept a relegation reduction to his salary, they’d be mad to sack him given he’s won that league.

But depends what their finances are like - not good was the last I saw even if a miracle had happened yesterday. £160-180m in transfer fees owing. 

EDIT - it’s worse, £196m according to Kieron Maguire who usually knows his stuff https://www.hammers.news/news/new-196m-west-ham-revelation-turns-up-the-heat-on-clubs-under-fire-board/

He was released circa 43 years ago, so I doubt how much he'd care about it or the club now.

In the unlikely event he’s appointed can’t see him starting a press conference (as did Mark Hughes) saying he has “an affinity” with the club.

IMO the club needs to make a serious statement about future governance and the   way the football side operates. A senior, hands on role for Southgate would be such a statement, and despite a lot of people’s reservations about his football management, he would be a very valuable person to have on board.

He might even see  it as a decent challenge .
