All of them should work now: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football...eview-claude-puels-future-need-move-whatever/ http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/15289641.Puel_s_future_hangs_in_the_balance/?ref=mac http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/sa...IEW__Ralph_Krueger_on_Saints__future/?ref=mac
Well the good news is Ralph says no need to sell any players..... Cue melt down at the first player sold
Southampton Chairman Ralph Kreuger has issued a statement - we have absolute confidence in Claude. He has the full backing of the board. Just my way of saying - it could be worse for Claude.
I like Le Havre. A proper working town, only with Gallic flair. Great food, & I think the point a lot of people are missing is that in France it's the common man and woman who eats well; forget the poncey end of the market, a Routier (drivers cafe) in Le Havre will serve you a meal as good as you'd get in the best restaurants in London, for a fraction of the price.
It doesn't really matter what happens from here on in............Some players will go..........Some players will be brought in to replace them. We still do not have enough quality in depth. So the question will still remain at the end of the summer......Have Saints done enough to improve or maintain. The debate will go on........
That,s our business plan which has worked well for us. Keeps us stable whereas others have gone for bust.
Spent a great weekend in Le Havre with a couple of mates in 1979. We were 17 and had this great idea of going on a booze cruise on the old cross channel ferry, we got off at Le Havre on Saturday morning and my mate had the great idea of visiting his French foreign exchange school kid from when he was about 14. It was pissing down with rain and we were dressed like Mods (in Parkas) and getting some very strange looks from the locals (mainly Punks), We arrived at the house like drowned rats and the family could not have been more welcoming (imagine if three foreign 17 year olds, two total strangers just turned up on your doorstep!).. They not only put us up for the whole weekend, they took us out on the town and we had Sunday dinner there, which I can tell you is an experience, four courses and lasted about two hours!, the French really do take their food seriously. I have always respected French people since then.
Really hoping that we batter Manure tonight and Stoke on Sunday, which will bring a positive vibe into the season review talks.
“Claude has been a part of everything that has happened this year. It is really going to be the players or however else, it is up to football to give us the final grade and then we will see how we go forward.” Doesn't sound like the dreaded "Vote of Confidence", but doesn't sound like he is guaranteed to stay either. Time will tell.
We will look for the "Best of the Rest" and chose one we have never heard of, two years later the big Clubs will want to grab him/her off of us.
