Head of recruitment remains. You’d assume he had a pretty big say in a lot of the signings we’ve made in the past 2 or 3 seasons. Though admittedly, we can’t fire all of the football men on the board without having their replacements lined up and maybe he was operating under Les rule, I dont know.
I'd be seriously surprised if Sam came here - I'm pretty sure he thinks he's better than Saints. We are probably amongst a handful of clubs who I don't think he'd be interested in.
If it was any other club I would say it's the dreaded vote of confidence but with us it could mean sticking until January...
I doubt we would get someone in who’s first 2 games are Utd and Spurs. For once in a long time they may have thought about it and will have someone in for after those games. Unless when we get 4 PtS from those two, as I’m sure we will, we keep him
Maybe. I’m not arguing that the squad is under performing. But the defence has been **** since Virgil left, we need a stand out CB.
Bottom 3 this morning. Hopefully the result at the weekend and the Hudders away win is enough even for the Saints Board to do the right thing (here's wishing ).
Yeah, I'd be quite happy with that. It's a risk, but a hell of a lot better than another spin through the line of managers who are unemployed for a reason. We'd need quite a squad overhaul; all indications are that Arteta wants to play in a manner similar to Pep, and we're not quite cut out for that. However, we need quite a squad overhaul anyway, and getting back to passing, pressing football sounds good to me.
I’d like a coach who will make us win a game. Derren Brown would do, even if it was just an illusion.
Thanks FLT. Hopefully this gets done quickly, l see from the press there is talk of the ex-Monaco boss or the ex-Ajax boss. Not sure on either would want to join us, but perhaps the former has an excellant reputation for developing talent. Edit: just caught up with rest of the thread (just landed in Doha to work on my football challenge).
Which club is the more attractive proposition at the momento? Leeds who are chasing promotion and getting gets of 34,000 every home match, or struggling SFC with gates sliding downwards. I think Bielsa would like to finish the project he was invited to start.
Agree. Bielsa is also on £60k p/w after tax @ Leeds. Really can’t see us offering anything close to that, let alone the extra you’d need to get it both bought out and agreed.
