The saints fans are so used to adverse things happening to the club, the forum has a resigned feeling to it.
The have done the admistration, the relagation, the promotions etc. Sold Bale, Walcott etc..
It's hard to grasp how they feel isn't it ?

Hallelujah! A youth player actually needs to be good enough to warrant a place in the team. If they aren't good enough then they shouldn't be anywhere near the team. I don't understand this weird obsession some people have with youth. Some people seem to think that being young is a talent in its own right, and that's it's more important to have a crop of young players than it is to have players that may actually allow you to succeed in English football.
 
Lets be positive eh? Lets acknowledge that he's a good manager and hes less of a risk than employing someone from outside the premiership?

Lets look at the fact hes won league three times in holland, with two different teams. Yes the dutch league isnt the best but thats no mean feat.

Last season , early on we tonked Southampton at St Marys and saints where all over the place, to be fair he regrouped his players and got them up the league. Thats what we need someone the regroup our players (re:baines comments a few weeks ago) His team ended up with a goal difference of plus 17. And thats a mixture of a good keeper a strong defence and good attackers despite there top scorer only scoring 11 league goals.

Alot of people wanted Emry but indications are hes either turned us down or hesitated, thats fine hes allowed to do that. Koeman is a better option then some of the names we've been linked with IMO , Moyes, Klinsmann, Giggs, Hughes, up until last week id have said probably Pelligirini was the only close option, but his semi retirement comments basically put end to that. Clearly the new owner likes him and you cant help but think that admiration that has come from his Arsenal days. He's also happy to go along with a Director of football which is good as thats cleaely where we are heading.

IF it is Koeman - Good luck to the bloke.

We've had our fun off the Southampton mutants. Let's have some fun off our very own Lower Gwladys type next.

One person hoping the Koeman story is jarg is this Telegraph lid who only yesterday wrote...


There is a growing confidence at Southampton that the old order so rudely shaken up by Leicester City is changing for them too. For instance, Everton’s interest in appointing Ronald Koeman was considered so unlikely to tempt the Southampton manager that key figures at the club cannot recall there even being a meeting about it. The polite answer being that they would not expect to lose a player to Everton, and certainly not their manager.
