    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.

    I wondered that about the Stephens moaning at the Board story about the Mgr.

    He firmly denied it and I do actually believe him. I really don't think it's something he would do.

    You mean Stephen’s or Solak? Either way, it’s so easy to nudge someone with a media connection & request no link back to me.

    I cannot see O' Neill becoming manager. Not all at likely.

    I agree with the comment about the squad. It is not as good as many people think in here.
