2 days ago Bielsa to Lazio was a done deal. Has he signed yet? And I notice Puel hasn't been ruled out yet.

I was just saying was your local club a stepping stone for you to go and support Man U or Tottenham or whoever you support? And are they a stepping stone for you to support Barcelona or Real eventually?

I'm too busy producing cream to follow any football team with a passion. But I do hope you find a manager that see's you as a club he can grow with, rather then viewing you as a stepping stone to bigger things.

Maybe, after all this time, it's the culmination of Les' cunning plan to take control himself. Having ousted arch nemesis Cortese, and muddied the otherwise mild-mannered Italian philanthropists name through a cunning smear campaign, Les has started the process of pretending to look for other managers, whilst ruling them out, one by one, for spurious reasons.

His name was too French. He looks too much like David Dickinson. He has the same name as something you use in the bath to scrub away dead skin.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present your new manager, Leslie 'Blofeld' Reed.
 
I fear that all the ITKs are ITK on the EU referendum and because we're leaving the EU, Saints keep saying no to foreign managers knowing that they'll be booted out by Saturday. Katharina will be withdrawing all her money and Les will take on a role like Miss.Rabbit from Peppa Pig. He'll be doing every job at the club.

... Here's hoping it was just a bad (day)dream.

ITK this. Bookie that.

If they're all to be believed, that is one very long list of managers who we were interested in but can now be ruled out.

Personally I'm happy to just wait and see. Yes I might comment on the odd rumour (whether fuelled by an "ITK" or by the odds), but I'm yet to be sucked into believing anything.

No board changes there supposed target this many times, least of all our board.
 
So all the candidates that were supposedly linked or being interviewed have now all been "ruled" out?

So does this mean we are starting the whole recruitment process all over again then? Because surely we are now having to think about names we originally didn't think we're good enough otherwise they would of been previous candidates?

Pellegrini, Perreira, Puel and Garcia have all had talks and all but Puel appears to have been ruled out. I'm sure we've held other interviews but I've not heard any other names.

Buying my current house was a little like that. Had one lined up, loved it, found it had subsidence which was previously undisclosed and pulled out. Then went and looked at houses we'd discounted previously (having not seen them) and still didn't take to them once viewed.

1 week later, another house came on the market. It was perfect for what we wanted. We didn't take any chances on being out muscled or anything and just paid up and got it.

Maybe Saints will suddenly have the perfect candidate and won't dally on it .... just go and get them.
