    As you can tell the season is over with nothing much else to do than start endless threads but I thought how about a Saints eleven made up of players who have managed Saint either as mananger or caretaker. Right here we go with a 4-5-1

    GK Adkins
    LB Dodd (I know he is a RB but has covered LB for us I think)
    CB Nicholl
    CB Pochettino
    RB Burley
    LM Wise
    CM Strachan
    CM Ball
    CM Souness
    RM Hoddle
    FOR Sturrock

    Can you do better ? I know there are not that many options but some on here do have longer memories than me.

    You'd have to put Ted Bates up front and much as I cant stand him Redknapp was a fair player in his time as was Pardew.

    Wasn't Portvliet part of one of the Dutch national teams or did I just completely make that up?

    Surely Dan's favourite, Jan Poortvliet, should be in there?! Maybe he can be a sub, but he played in the '78 World Cup so surely a better player than he is manager!

    How about a team of Saints players who became managers. Personally, I've got too much to worry about, what with not having a manager and half our team leaving, but feel free.
