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

Only for sentimental reasons. Not everyday you see someone who was playing for your club in League 2 to playing in the prem a couple of months later. Just pride as all aha

 

Right I know he has a reputation of doing it, but trust me I'm not him My grammar isn't nearly as poor as his

 

Just on the Echo Twitter site is a post that the new Goalkeeper Coach / Assistant Manager is Tony Jimenez, anyone know anything? Or is it the usual Twitter stuff?

 

Played for Espanyol, PSG and was capped for the Spain first team... he's 42.


Was Mauricio Pochettino's assistant manager at Espanyol.

 

Goes by the name of Toni. Was the Espanyol assistant under Pochettino. Played keeper a couple of times for Spain. `

 

The Independent: 'Pochettino goes from Real Madrid link to relegation battle' - http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...k-to-battling-against-relegation-8458285.html

 

Is he the guy in the OS Training Gallery Picture 32?

 

Yes. And I must correct myself, Jimenez played for Atletico Madrid - not PSG.

 

I guess the other guy in the pictures is that Spanish interpreter brought in with Ramirez.

 

Yes, Fran Alonso.

 

Anyone else think we stand a much better chance of hanging onto Ramirez now? Let's face it although I doubt he will have taken any satisfaction from Adkins sacking, things will be feeling a lot less foreign to him all of a sudden. Obviously this would depend on us staying up, although it's not like Pochettino will be sticking about if we go down!

 

I don't think we were going to lose Ramirez anyway...seems a happy soul. May be Poch can get more out of him...fresh eyes and all that.

 

Who knows. The Marca reporter on talkSPORT earlier says Pochettino will one day manage United, Madrid or Barca anyways.

What is MP's instructions I wonder? End this season safely and then build? Push on NOW?

Would he be sacked if we went down....?

Cant understand much of it mind you

 

I like how one of them says:

"Espanyol opened mention that the stadium st. marys in 2000, with victory perica 3-4. That team played a certain Le Tissier, sure the name will sound, I think the only professional player Islands Channel. The typical box to box English"

 

However... I do NOT like this comment:

"I do not see Pochettino training to Southampton, will surely be the typical British team without much quality but do not follow this team. Skeptical."

 

He cant be sacked if we go down,It'll be Cortese's mess and his fault if we do go.

 

Good to read lots of "sure he will do well", "I have a new team to follow" and "Poche deserves some good luck".

 

Obviously not a Le Saux fan.

 

Surprised they know much about us if i'm honest , a lot of their fans cant seem to understand why we sacked nigel, they are true neutrals make you worry a bit
