Not sure why a French journalist would have insight into Tuchel's movements. I imagine he's in on the fact Claude is headed back, and putting two and two into a random number generator.
Or, as I suspect more likely, he lives next door to Tuchel's French pen pal from his school days, who still follows Tuchel on twitter and he clearly knows that Tuchel wants to come here. He's definitely coming!
I would appreciate SFC making a statement soon, every time I look at this thread it's 30 seconds lost that I could have wasted somewhere else!
It's still a Drambuie shandy and a pickled egg. Always knew being a Saints supporter brought its own rewards.
is it worth printing this thread out and posting it to Les for him to read so he can make an informed decision
It's Jasper's ingenious plan of putting Pearson's name out there. Means that if it ends up being Moyes, I'll still be somewhat thankful.
He's probably got better. He was always a pretty smart guy, just a bit rough around the edges. And opinionated, of course.
"People may criticise my ambition, but I would look at these critics and say I FULLY expect us to avoid relegation"
If it were Moyes [and it won't be] and he uttered the first syllable of the word relegation, I may take up a new hobby of booing. No Saints manager should ever even let it cross his mind.
If we get off to a slow start next season the knives will be out, and coming from many directions. This has gone beyond messy, and now feels dirty. I hope Claude comes out and says he was unhappy, that's the only way I can justify all this to myself.
So if St Etienne come in for puel we let him go and if they drag their feet on it for three weeks we what...wait?
And then they change their mind and we can tell puel he is staying but his transfer targets have been sold elsewhere as it's almost July. That doesn't sound very sensible.
I'm more worried about letting him go, then having VVD & RB leave, only for us to get someone who wants to 'look over the kids.' At least we know that CP rates(and has a good relationship with) a lot of the young ones already. Could cause a mountain of probs........
