Seeing some of the comments over on the Managers poll thread provoked me into thinking about the ex-Saints players and managers who are currently plying their trade as managers elsewhere in the PL and FL [not Conference or below]. Including Poch, how many are there and can you name them and their clubs..? I've got a feeling there are several.
If it's not too much trouble. I'm having to do a bit of donkey work myself, because I don't remember them all. EDIT: Can anyone imagine the total yet..?
Aha, the Joker in the pack..! Anyone with a total yet..? I'd really appreciate it if you gave me your list of Names and Clubs, like I asked for at the beginning. It's a simple request.
Well thank you for playing so enthusiastically anyway. Paul Tisdale - Exeter City Alan Pardew - Newcastle Mickey Adams - Port VAle Phil Parkinson - Bradford City Nigel Pearson - Leicester City Harry Redknapp - QPR Mauricio Pochettino - Southampton FC Nigel Adkins Reading - FC James Beattie - Accrington Stanley Mark Hughes - Stoke City Stuart Gray - Sheffield Wednesday Uwe Rosler - Wigan Athletic Gary Monk - Swansea City
He's the Performance Director. When I saw the announcement I laughed so hard I jetted beer out of my nose, and I wasn't even drinking beer!
You can't knock how they got us playing but without a decent forward or 2 decent centre backs we were always going to be stuffed. Twice I heard Sky commentators compare us to Arsenal (before we eventually shipped a couple of silly goals and lost again!).
