Young, progressive, smart manager who has his teams playing exciting, attacking football and with a major concentration on developing youth. Basically everything we need.

Fair enough. Not a difficult job to win the Austrian Bundesliga with Salzburg, to be honest, but their last few managers have gone on to do well.
 
Oh I don’t follow either of those and have only heard of the podcast, but not listened to it. Here is about all I can handle Saints wise and seems to give a pretty broad view from the fanbase

I can’t see the replies anyway because I’m not on Twitter, I assume it’s just people bemoaning the appointment after Adkins and that nobody had ever heard of him
TSP is well worth a listen. Tune in, any format & listen & for you, you’ll agree to 99%
 
It’s that’s the aim someone like Dyche would get the defence organised quickly. Not really the football I want to see but without a striker and creative player what else can we do? Would only take him on a 1 season deal, which I assume he wouldn’t want.


If we get Dyche, pm me your address and I’ll post you my Season Ticket <ok>

I seriously don’t want him or any manager of that ilk.

But if we’re talking about being minnows in the league and survival being the aim this is the kind of manager you need.
We're not exactly a minnow - we've been in the PL for the last 10 years, plus from its inception to 2005. And we've been down that route with Hughes. Not fun at all.

Or we just don’t survive, not the end of the world
 
Cooper seems like Adkins. Can get a team out of the Championship but may be out of his depth in the PL. It's too early to tell regarding his ability in the PL but it's too big a risk for us to take.
 
Forest getting dicked. This is why I don't want Cooper.

Think your being a bit harsh on him.

He done an unbelievable job in getting Forest promoted, bearing in mind they were bottom when he took over. He's had a good record with the England youth teams as well, winning the u17a world cup a few years back.

Granted, he wouldn't be my pick as saints manager, but to write him off is ignoring his achievements in limited management experience.

I'm not writing him off at all. I don't want him because I think it would be too big a risk for us to take.

You could say that about a lot of the potential managers from across the continent that have been bandied about on here.

If you're only considering those with prolonged, high level experience, then you'll be disappointed when someone like Allaedyce or Dyche rock up.
