    I was given some duff gen but I will remain loyal to my source. He is adamant it would not be Hughes but clearly something happened.
    As far as Hughes is concerned I am not worried. Saints have always done well when they have had a Welshman in the team. Being manager is near enough to that for me.

    There's only one person who 100% stated a fact and that was TheadkinsDiet

    I can also confirm I had a call about 9pm the evening before. A mutual friend within the club informed other friend that it would be announced the next day. But if MH had had a last minute change of mind I’d have just been another supposed ITK!

    Whether I hear anything else in the future who knows. Happy to be at 100% for now.

    Isn't it about time we had some proper interviews/pictures with Mark Hughes. Not important in itself I suppose, but this must be the most low key managerial signing of all time. It's like it never happened.

    We aren’t used to having this done so quickly while still on holiday. The usual plan is to wait for everyone else to find a manager then pick ours. By then our new guy is back from holiday and waiting by the phone.

    Hmm , I’m thinking we should have held off that bit longer. I mean Zidane would have been a great fit for a club like ours.

    He's been here for ten games. As long as the back ground stuff is getting done, then I don't mind him dodging the camera.

    Suspect Zidane was fooled by the delay in appointing Hughes and handed in his notice. <laugh>

    I suppose the club view it as a contract extension rather than a new signing. It’s stretching it a bit as the deal was until the end of the season, full stop. There was no talk when Mark signed of “we’ll see about a long term deal at the end of the season” although that was obviously in everyone’s mind.

    possibly because it was a contract extension rather than a signing?

    I suspect Hughes is still on holiday...the real work starts soon. We won't get a signing picture because that would just be odd...but suspect we will then get an interview with Hughes (though probably won't tell us much).

    Your just craving Saints news. Sorry, but there is none. Maybe check in on the last day of the transfer window. <laugh>
