Sign him to a 3 year contract , and if he's happy to do 3 years and let's you know at the end of the second year he will do his last year then move on . Accept that and spend that third year looking for a replacement . Don't tell him he has to sign an extension , or he may go after 2 years , which helps nobody .
I've ridden the usual rollercoaster today, of having never heard of the bloke to now being so desperate to get him that anyone else will be a crashing disappointment. By now you'd think I'd be able to temper my expectations when it comes to Saints, but goddammit if I don't love the drama.
Hoping this isn’t the latest smokescreen from the club only to fail to land him and end up with Moyes instead.
The early signs from the new board are better. For one they’ve acted much earlier with making the first part of the change. Remains to be seen whether the recruitment side will be any different. Here’s hoping!
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt about Saints in the past 3 years is that it can always get worse! My fingers are firmly crossed, but I’ll reserve my celebratory cocktail for when it happens. Actually scrap that, it’s hot and I’m thirsty.
Apparently has been impressed by our ambition and potential Must be some dosh for January then... ****ing hell what a difference a couple of weeks makes.
Quite the opposite. Ron left because we wanted him to commit to a long deal but he wanted to see out his last year. Ralph left Leipzig because he wanted a long term deal but they wanted to see how the season went before extending his remaining 1 year deal.
.......and there was me thinking he was coming in as a dof.........and Sousa was coming in as the manager! Anyone know who the other coaches are going to be?
