Philippe Montanier? Did alright at Real Sociedad, got them to 4th I think. Got Rennes to two cup finals as well. Not outstanding finishes in the league but I don't know much about the club circumstances there.

Alex Crook challenging the Telegraph article suggesting Saints have dropped interest in Howe....said he was never interested. Wallace stands by the article.
I don't think Howe was ever interested, either. If one of your preferred candidates ain't interested, you drop your interest.
From Jeremy Wilson of the Telegraph. Shortlist is Garcia, FDB & other who we suspect is now Puel - now 14-1 Peach has said appointment wanted before June 28th Redmond signing going ahead for £8m
(Ex) Central midfielder not known for goalscoring? Yep, we must be interested in him. Sounds right up our street.
So, in that case... If the final three is Garcia, De Boer - as stated in the Telegraph - and then Puel as the mystery man, then who would people want? I'll go first... Garcia for me.
Garica for me too. Has anyone seen that huge diatribe on Saints Web from a Roma/Saints fan who says his football was the worst he's ever seen after teams had sussed him out (no plan B)? I take it with a pinch of salt, especially as the team results and final positions don't really seem to be that bad - and anyway as a tiny, tiny club like we are how many managers can we collectively turn down? We'll never smash through that glass ceiling with that attitude
Yeah, I saw that. Valencia hated Koeman, Benfica weren't mad about him and Poch got sacked with Espanyol bottom of La Liga. Let's just find someone who suits us and then give them the tools to achieve good things.
