Will Pochettino stay or go?

fingers crossed all the noises are wrong and everybody (bar lovren) is refusing to commit to southampton as a glorious practical joke.

 

De Boer would be my preferred choice, but obviously it would be a task to convince him to join us. I wouldn't be too keen on Howe. I think he is a good manager, but I just think him and Bournemouth are a perfect fit.

Would be the best troll ever.

 

Nothing wrong with finding some solace in seeing the reactions of all the people who are slowly but surely having to open their eyes and take their fingers out of their ears. I'm sure nobody is happy with this news, but it has been a little strange seeing people over the last few weeks and months shouting that nothing is going to happen.

 

I don't see him saying that at all? Why are we having a go at DTLW - he's merely suggesting that there's no smoke without fire, much as a lot of us have been feeling/fearing for the past few weeks (and during the clubs noisy silence).

 

Well I could ask what you gain by asking? If none of the money (no decent amount) is re-invested, then it is just as obvious that the ambitions are lower than previously set. I don't want to know where they are going Puck; just want to know what the plans are in terms of ambition. Pointless asking the questions in my view. If they don't spend a lot of money on Saints, why does it matter where it is going? It won't make the disappointment any easier.

the only questions I'd ask would be:

1. Are you selling?
2. What are your plans for the next 3-5 years if you are not investing.

 

There's quite a lot wrong with that actually. I'd leave it out if I were you.

 

Actually quite concerned at the prospect of him taking Jay Rod with him to Spurs. Probably in January, but I think that could happen.

 

Well, he asked

I'm not having a go at anyone, I just find this triumphalism really odd.

 

Gloating? Sure, but it doesn't seem like he was to me.

 

Not sure it's really triumphalism PTF. It's pretty clear that DTLW would like MP to stay as much as the next acronym.

 

A bit unfair, as DTLW continually feeds us info; some people just choose to dismiss it. You of all people PTF shouldn't be putting reasons into peoples mouths, even if you disguise it as a question. You don't like that when done to you.

 

I honestly hate it when Saints Fans try to make a story out of everything, it feels like there trying to provoke a reaction. No need.

 

this then comes under the are you happy you renewed your season ticket conversation doesn't it?

many fans are buying saints up front regardless of the business done between now and august. we only get to modify our spending the next season at which point apparently we similarly have no right to expect anything.

 

Well Vertonghen has said he's staying at Spurs now, and there's rumours De Boer is leaving Ajax.

2+2=475?

 

Further to the ill-wishes I previously expressed towards Tottenham, I'm now beginning to hope Argentina get stuffed in the World Cup (they probably won't though).

 

As gutted as I am, he looks a gonner.

Next Southampton Manager sees Gus Poyet as the favorite at 5/1
Then .....

Dan Petrescu 6/1
Neil Lennon 6/1
Then Malky Mackay, Di Matteo and Sherwood are the front runners.

What a **** Bank holiday.................

 

I said previously that my decision to get a season ticket is always about "can I afford it"... if I can, I go and get one to watch my team. I have never made that decision based on who we have and what we spend, etc.

My questions would be just about wanting to understand the possible future of my club.

 

That's silly. Stop being silly.

 

on the bright side, if he does well we know petrescu won't go to tottenham.
