Did you read over the thread and realize how wrong you were? I was actually looking over the thread to see what I had said about your chances myself, its nice to check out what you say sometimes, rather than spout endless bullshit and never look back at it! Like yourself!

Lol, and yet you have just gone and signed one of the best keepers in the world!!! And I am the deluded one?

I think to be fair to SOD he has had a few jobs that were mission impossible (Notts Forest & Bristol City in his first season), so he may be a pretty fair manager given the right circumstances. However, as others have noted that is not really the issue; is he likely to help our chances in...

I agree! Even in his one season under Kenny, he was superb without the end product. You could see the anguish on his face, and I have never seen a player or a team be so unlucky over the course of a season. There was not a whole lot wrong with the team, or with Suarez himself, the player was...

I agree sadly!!

He would, I don't think there will ever be a time for him to come back. The time was right after Kenny imo, said at the time, the squad was still largely his and with Suarez he could have done some great business.

I would take Simeone, would take Garcia too. Despite some thinking Klopp is after a building project, I think he will see us as too much to build. I would not be too disappointed in Koeman taking over, very impressive first season in the League!

Suarez is a better player than Bale. Spurs finished 4th and 5th with Bale, so its 2-3 places at best! And there is no question that one player can make a massive difference, especially when at the very, very top, it all about fine margins. Rather than saying Rodgers used Suarez more effectively...

Helped them to get closer than they have without him, and if you really are going to argue that he did not push them further than they were, or where they are now, then you have zero credibility! I like how the rest of it you ignored? I suppose in your twisted view, Suarez was also only a bit...

I think they are gems in the context of where Southampton are? Basically been instrumental in Walcott, Bale, Shaw etc... and even if you don't particularly rate them as players, they have brought an incredible amount of funds in to the club.

It is hardly knee jerk nearly 3 years down the track; with no cup success and a squad arguably worse than when he took over as well as a shed load of money spent! I will see you City (although it worked last season), and raise you RVP at both Arsenal and Man Utd, and to some extent Hazard at...

I think a huge difference though, is that Southampton have a very, very good youth system that produces a conveyor load of gems. But also, at least in the last few years, those young players could be given the time and playing time to develop, it is hard to get the balance right when the...

I said when he was appointed he was a salesman, and that his ego was worrying. I said a couple of years ago that he appears to be great with young players and actually seems to only want them, and that I felt he couldn't manage top, top experienced players. I said before he was appointed that it...

Klopp would be a good fit for us, but personally do not see it happening. He will be in high demand, and you would think he will end up at either Real Madrid or City? It is true that he may see us as the perfect 'project', but another more realistic part is thinking that he is leaving Dortmund...

I know this is a tongue in cheek t Was a great manager who has sadly not got the recognition he deserves. Even now on threads there are those who just keep trotting out his gross spend to 'prove' how sh@t he was. They fail to look at the broader context of the restraints he was under, what he...
