Who would you have as our next Manager

Assuming the RK has all but gone, who is our target? Can we tempt the Sevilla manager as that is the calibre of manager Saints should be looking at? Or maybe Jochim Lowe would like a return to club football. Others I am partial to ,,,,, Clarence Seedorf, Patrick Viera (the man I think will be Arsene's successor but will need to cut his teeth elsewhere first). Saints would be nigh on perfect, and the recently retired Inter player Zanetti!!
 
I don't care about Lovren to call him a twat. He never gave a **** about us and moved on after burning his bridges. Lallana was here for years, saying how he could see himself playing for us the rest of his career. Then the next week bitching about not being aloud to leave at first.

Oh I agree. Lallana for me was worse than Poch/Koeman et al.

Look, ambition, ego and £££ have always made people blind, and forget how good the thing in their hands is. I do think the set-up here flatters people - managers and players alike, and many get found out a bit when they go. Poch has a bit more to him than that. I think Ronald could struggle.

But I get why they do it. For all the proclamations of this and that on here, the absolute majority under similar circumstances would do the same. It's 5 million quid a year more. That's £416k a MONTH more. And the ego is satisfied and compelled by the realisation the opportunity is there to spunk loads of cash and build a massive club. The reason people get het up here is we're fans of the club. They're not. They're employees of a business.

I don't even dislike Lovren or Lallana (as I think I have made clear on here before). I've long since accepted that players and staff come and go, and not once have I ever cared about the circumstances in which the departures took place.

All I care about is that adequately replace Ron, if he does go.

I don't hate Lallana. I just didn't like how he went about leaving after being with us so long.

Exactly my thoughts. I know it's massive money, I know most would take it...this is business blah, blah, blah. However he pretended to be above such things...perhaps nearer to lallana than poch. Makes me sick.

I'm not going to pretend I don't share your disappointment, but I will give the man a chance to explain before castigating his character.
If saints didn't want him to play out his current contract(and a few on this forum were uncomfortable with that notion) then I can understand that it was either extend with saints or look for another project
 
I don't even give consideration to the "hard for them to turn down" stuff. He said he wasn't going and even if he hadn't said that, if he is leaving my beloved club in this manner, he can do one.

I make no apologies for that.

I won't abuse him now as I hope this falls foul and he stays for another 2-3 years, but I'm clearing my throat for my, "You're just a fat ginger scouser" chant, just in case.

I get uncomfortable when we disagree Fats :)
 
Unfortunately TSS, I think you're clutching at straws a bit.

As good as done, just hurry and get it announced so the excitement can start :)
 
One thing is for certain.les reed needs to stop putting out these videos about ongoing contract talk cos he has been made to look silly again.he is doing a good job with the rest tho
