Article: CONFIRMED: Mauricio Pochettino replaces Nigel Adkins as Saints manager | Southampton FC, Football

And ours as we really needed at least one centre back this window.

 

Sorry - how do you change the title to "Could Mauricio sell Rickie Lambert?"

 

Reading through the first few pages of us saying "it'll never happen" and "a load of bollocks", and then to have the rumour gradually build up pace and to become official makes me feel for all of us Saints fans. It wasn't the best thing to wake up to, I blame the snow!

Cortese: you are a c u n t until you prove otherwise!

 

With him being Argentinian do you think it will have any effect on Gazza and the goalkeeping situation?

 

Guilty until proven innocent eh?

 

Okay, I've recovered from shock now. Clearly this decision has been "in process" for a while and had little to do with results and everything to do with when Pochettino decided to say yes. Either way, let's get behind him and the boys. It's exhausting being a Saints supporter, and it's always been that way.

COYR!

 

Calm down.

 

You would disagree that the sun exists if anyone would listen. Do you need to have a unique view on everything? you cant possibly agree with any of this.

 

I'm gutted. I'm being extreme and I know it - I'm ****ed off, that's why.

 

Press conference now on SSN.

 

What are you talking about, you child? What is that based on other than irrational anger?

 

People need to carm the **** down.

 

Is anyone else concerned that our new manager can speak very little English, if any?

 

Yes. He'd better start learning. Everything else about his credentials sounds pretty good, to be fair.

 

Pochettino has a reputation for bringing through young players, and one of his very first statements was that the squad didn't necessarily need any new signings. How exactly does this equate to paying over the odds for a load of big time charlies?

 

Martin Lipton: "Pochettino not responsible for position he is in. Hard to say no to a job in PL. But this looks like madness #saints"

Dave Kidd: "The lie we always swallow is that football management is a results business. Adkins sacking proves its an absurd game ruled by megalomaniacs"

 

Would it be too cynical to say this may have something to do with the Spanish coach/interpreter we hired 'to help Gaston'? Is it the same one as the one at the press conference?

 

Damn you Cortese. When my mate "Channon walked on H2O" disappeared we agreed we'd stop posting. I spoke to him in India today and we both have agreed that we will not set foot inside any ground where SFC play in future. This is a dark day. We used to agree that the sacking of Chris Nicholl was the club's nadir. You have today reached a new low (or Lowe?).

 

Anyone getting on Pochettino's back for this is an embarrassment.

 

Yes. This.
