Who Could Be the Next Manager

He could be the next Mourinho, or he could be the next Selles. We don't know at this point, and it's far more likely to be the latter, but the more he keeps winning, and the more we can see improvement, well if there's no other realistic obvious candidates knocking about, we may as well wait and see. He obviously is higher rated as a coach than the likes of Lallana et al, or they wouldn't have bumped him up like this. There'll be a reason there (even if they've given us little faith in their reasoning to date).

 

I'm not advocating for him to be given a 3yr deal or anything, but say if we get 4 points+ from our next 3 fixtures, I think you have to think about giving him the job until the end of the season.

 

I can see Saints getting a draw tomorrow and beating Leicester. The performances are improving and , if my predictions are correct, I would be happy with sticking with him. Might as well back him as someone obscure from Germany.

I think this season is a write off. We can afford to stick with him until May and no need to change. Spors clearly rates him and managers have to start somewhere. Makes more sense than speculative punt at this point in time.

 

I think it's far too early to say performances are improving to be honest. We were still pretty poor at QPR and Wednesday are Wednesday so don't think we can take much from that.

I'm actually more intrigued about performance than result over the next couple of games.
