O'Neil isn't after the job. He scored well on some KPIs and probably got some good references when the club were identifying potential coaches. He would've been one of those you'd ordinarily speak to but as of tonight, Saints haven't reached out to him and he hasn't reached out to Saints
Clough did ok at Forest after Derby. But then GON is not Brian Howard Clough. It’s a no for me. When Redknap came he was a big name and a good manager, I can see the rationale there.
I can't see any experienced, proven manager taking the job. Gary O'Neil is probably in the right profile group. We have a poor squad consisting of a handful of players that would possibly cut it in the Premier league. Goalkeepers zero Defenders Roerslev - experienced. Jelert - showing potential. Midfielders Scienza - definitely. Jander - showing potential. Charles - showing potential. Attackers Robinson - showing potential. We need another dozen players to compete in the prem. If we get lucky and get a few results in December, we might have a shout at the playoffs. Then it would need 5 in during the January window and if we were promoted, another 5+ in the summer. I don't see this happening in any shape or form. We are a season away regarding recruitment and team building.
