gaz897 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 With the imminent departure of Burley to Scotland, Saints are on the look out for a new manager. Saints websites are heavily touting GJ and aparantly has been seen down there. I for 1 cant see why he'd want to go there with the money situations they have. Anyone?

cidercity Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Could be something in it, then the idiots constantly slagging his son off would have got their way.Do they think this is not going to hurt GJ.I know that if i went to work every day and my child was being slated even though the company was excelling, and my child was an integral part of that success, i would not be there long.

Nibor Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 There's nothing there to attract him over staying here.They won't offer him more money than SL can. They have no more potential than we do. Their squad is worse. They have big debt problems.Why would he leave?No chance, Saints fans may want him but they won't get him.

Hicksy-BCFC Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Lad who works for me is a Saints fan and you're dead right about them being skint.Things are really not that good down that way at the moment, they are a prime example of what can happen if you rely on parachute payments and predict a return to the Premiership within the parachute timeframe.The issues about Burley are all around cash. He's been given ###### all to spend, had to sell players of the quality of Bale (which is what you need to get back into the Premiership) and apparently all the cash has gone into the financing of the debt of St Mary's.Whilst not having really watched them, he said they've replaced Bale with what he called your typical left back who just pumps it long diagonally and the standard of football is getting worse with each season.He always looks quite dejected after he's finished going on about life down there at the moment, I helpfully remind him that the south coast may have European football next season under Pompey. You know, just to help.....All this crap about Saints though makes me a little nervous as GJ has shown he always goes to clubs with potential but in the mire - thats exactly what Saints are at the moment.

HomerRed Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I was told by someone claiming to be in the know that Southampton was one of the few clubs, if not the only club apart from City, GJ would have been tempted by when he was still at Yeovil. That may have been the case then, but I imagine things have changed now. Okay, they've already got the new stadium and the fan base is a bit bigger at the moment.I would be more concerned if a Prem club came along, but they seldom seem to look at Championship level for players or managers.Perhaps we should not be too complacent though and a few renditions of 'Johnson wonderland' might not go amiss on Saturday. Oh, and not too many early leavers dare I say. :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted we have a few areas which need improvement particularly in the striking and defence departments but i feel with these additions we can go from having a great squad to having a fantastic squad.We are where we are not because we have a 'great squad', but because we have one of the fittest squads, best medical teams, best team spirits, best workrates and attitudes in this league, and for that I am truly proud and that is why we are where we are. A great squad can be levelled at a team that finishes well, because that is when you need your squad. Unless we strenthen, I don't think we will finish in the p.offs... To lose Carey and then be weak in deffence surely proves we diont have a 'great squad'....we have a strong 1st team when everybody's fit.If we don't get anyone in to bolster, this 'great squad' will finish outside the playoffs and everyone will then agree that it isnt a 'great squad', which is what I'm saying....we don't have a great squad'.(Look at Colchester, they were like us last season and dropped, because they didnt have a 'great squad') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Ps tom are you knocking our Academy tut tutNo I'm saying they have a better one, based on the fact that they've recently been in the premiership and could attract better youngsters.Imagine if GJ got us to the promised land... we might just produce a crop as tallented.
