Do you know there's a bloke, managing a team down in Australia at present, going by the name of Jim Magilton, and he's the dead spit of Jim at Ipswich. Amazing.
le tiss as manager / dodd as assistant / benali in some role saints legends, saints fans, would be 110% "on the bus"
he'd summon TNT to st marys to pick up a parcel, and deliver to said clubs chairman, he'd open it to find a horses head, with a msg attached "much love from everybody at southampton"
By the time Nigel decides to leave, if he ever does, he'll go to manage England to solve the constant underachieving there, and SFC will be in the Gus Huddink [or that ilk] bracket. Of course, he could turn out to be the longest serving manager Saints ever have. Please don't bring this last post back to haunt me if ever Saints go belly up. Ta.
By the way, the answer to who will replace Nigel when he retires in about 2019, is Marian Pahars. Nige will become director of football/club legend.
Nice answer. The bus would certainly go rolling on if that happened in terms of popularity. Any idea how Pahars is getting on as manager?
