Saints appoint Johannes Spors as Group Technical Director

So most of us, then

 

Speak for yourself. I am a spring chicken to really, really, really old folk.

 

What's his CV like. Where's he worked and what are his successes?

 

There’s this thing called the internet…

Good article here from when Newcastle wanted him;

Another good article.

Interesting to see that Spors was Chief Scout at Leipzig at the same time Danny Rohl was asst. manager to Ralf. Hopefully they're still good mates.

 

I’ve had a poke around the internet and can’t find much noise about Danny Rohl but on here he seems to be viewed as salvation in waiting.

what have I missed?

 

Yeah it was basically the only other name that we apparently were interested in. Didn't want to pay the money for him.

Personally can't see why we would be any more willing to pay it in the summer, but, as I expect, the fans have turned on Juric by then, then maybe that will force Solak's hand.

 

Meanwhile Edwards continues to get rave reviews;

Pretty sure he will be a regular for us next season. It would be nice to have someone with experience alongside him too.

 

I believe in the summer he will be much cheaper as he has a Premier League clause like Swansea had.

 

Here's hoping!

 

Two centre-backs together?

Sounds crazy, but it might just work.

 

Sorry, was getting ahead of myself, let's stick with James Bree

 

Or just Wellington on his own, he does too well in his proper position.

 

There's only one l in Welington...

 

Is this a new chant?

 

I know, I only wrote one and didn’t notice the autocorrect!

 

And at St Marys, there's no 'f' in football. At least not from Saints
