Who would you have as our next Manager

The list we'll have will probably be full of young managers who play a certain way and get results with young squads. De Boer, Villas Boas, Howe etc. The hope is obviously that they do well but then that in turn leaves us in a muddle further down the line. You can't keep getting it right all the time. Maybe this list will include an old head wanting a shot at upsetting the order in the PL. Better chance of retaining/attracting players - Van gaal, Pellegrini, Bielsa. I'm not sure what I want. At what point do we stop getting our hearts broken?

5-10 more years of challenging in the top 6 or throw loads of money
 
Can't agree with you there. I think Koeman has already left and Saints getting a new manager in will drag on for weeks and weeks with loads of really stupid names being mentioned before someone is finally appointed.

Then the players [who were always going to leave] will start to leave......

What you seem to be forgetting, is that we have Les Reed.

We understand Everton have not been given permission to speak to Ronald Koeman. [HASHTAG]#Saintsfc[/HASHTAG] won't be commenting on the issue
If this is the case, we need to take them to the cleaners for tapping up. Unfortunately, money no object owners seem to think they have the right to do what they want because they can afford to pay whatever fine arises. If there was a serious points deduction for such actions, that would make things a whole lot more interesting. Can I suggest -30 points (I believe there is a precedent for this amount). Now that would be funny!
 
Howe turned us down once, fair play to him as he was being loyal to his club. He has now achieved his dream of seeing Bournemouth promoted and surviving in the PL, even if not to us, he must be thinking soon for something new. Bournemouth will be in a group of 10 clubs scrapping to stay in the PL, moving a couple of rungs up the ladder will be the logical choice for him. He is a young man with a young family, he will not have to move his family, he will get the money to spend, euro football and a chance to improve young players- we will be a tempting option.
The board seemed upset about Rons non desire to use the kids, understandable as we left the Euro cup early and were in with a chance of breaking into the top 4, but the whole ethos of the club is about bringing youth players through, pretty sure we would have seen a few more ginga ninjas playing if Poch was still in charge. A manager that has a record of bringing through youth will be very high on the list, even if we bed in around 10th place for a couple of years whilst giving youth a chance.
Everton have some excellent youth players, be interesting if Ron would give them a chance
 
With all the rumours flying about thought it might be a good idea to see who people would want realistically. This goes on the assumption that Koeman either leaves this or next summer. Named a few but feel free to add others. Would like to point out that I think Koeman has been brilliant for us and would like him to stay.
 
They are forcing Ron to go full on Baddie in public. Great stuff. Love how Saints make everyone who leaves be seen as the baddie by the rest of the football world (apart from those that play by our rules.)
 
We will be able to attract a very good manager as a replacement for RK, so I am not as worried as I was when MoPo left.

1.We have just signed the best kit deal by far the club has ever had with Under Armour.

2. Looking to open a state of the art academy in the U.S

3. Excellent new training facilities.

4. Guaranteed European football for the coming season.

Just wanted to be a positive post.
This is how to make progress for a club like SFC, we will not just throw money about in a shortish solution like Everton obviously are.

Keep the faith people, and believe.
 
Why should we make it easy for Everton and RK?

His has a year left on a contract that he has waffled on and on about honouring?

The deal has to be good got SFC also. Plus gives us time to go to the next level of negotiations with the next potential manager.
I was taking the piss out of Koeman's agent.

The Legend that Is Matt Le Tiss currently taking a lot of banter from Everton fans after questioning why they keep on about the importance of history. Many Showing want a classless bunch many football fans are. One thing not in question was what he achieved - which eclipses that of all those giving him stick at the moment. Well done Matt.

Dead right, we are growing year on year and doing it the right way. There is much more honour in gaining success the way we are and our achievements mean so much more than it does to the Manure, Chavski, and Citehs.
