His eds, does our interest still remain in astori? As I he is a great player and would make an amazing partnership with lovren if he stays

{Ed002's Note - I don't know if Steve Bruce will be interested in Astori. We will see.}

Do you seriously see us going after Steve Bruce? Would be. Massive disopointment after what they been saying

So Ed Steve Bruce will be our new manager?

3.) 12 Jun 2014
Surely he wouldn't want to give up European football to come for us? But whoever the new manager is, they will have their own targets, I think we were interested in him due to Cortese's Italian links

If steve bruce gets the job I will give up on saints after 37yrs of going thru the mill!

{Ed002's Note - I am not so sure he will take it but the feeling is that he will - they should go for Dan Petrescu.}

5.) 12 Jun 2014
So ED has Bruce been offered it? I hope not. have talks stalled with koeman?

{Ed002's Note - Koeman is no longer an option. He is talking with Galatasaray.}

You having us on Edd?

7.) 12 Jun 2014
Lol, Edd come on mate! He is having you all on guys! There is no way on earth that Bruce will be named manager.

Reed has stated top managers that have won leagues, cup, even European titles! So there is no way on earth it will be Bruce.

Shame in you edd

Im sorry but I am filled with gloom, I can't help thinking that all the upheaval, disappointment and departures, and delay, soundbites from Reed have to do with KL refusal to invest adequately to get us within reach of the Champions League, we have come so far only to possibly fall short.I think Kl owed it to the club and its fans to be transparent, f she didn't believe in her father s project, surely the thing to do was quit sell the club to someone who is prepared to go on with it. If we get Steve Bruce our best players will all leave he is not the caliber of manager this club now needs.

Guys - if it's Bruce, remortgage your house, bet it on him and then you'll have enough money to buy the club yourself! Mischievous Ed, but good on you. One back at the team ;)

Hope to hell its not him. Really do. That's bad news if true and have no reason to doubt ed.

11.) 12 Jun 2014
Maggicabbage: don't be so naive! I remember edd002 saying there was no chance on earth that wanyamma would sign for southampton before it happened!

Chill out boys! It's going to be good news! Have faith! COYR

Koeman is on holiday in Turkey. No link to the Galatasary job whatsoever

15.) 13 Jun 2014
Steve Bruce? Wow, the dream is officially over.
Seems like a lovely bloke and everything, but yeah back to reality. Really suprised.

Saint IQ. If he is on holiday there it would be odd timing considering we have been/are/will be talking to him and seems slightly at odds with the ideas mentioned by others that there were still concerns to sort out with budgets. I wouldn't want to go on holiday with things up in the air.
Having said that. If he is talking to them, it doesn't mean he would go to them. Keeping his options open would make sense and if necessary act as a bargaining chip.

17.) 13 Jun 2014
With the technology we have at our fingertips, does he really need to be in Southampton to negotiate with the board. It isn't 1914.

18.) 14 Jun 2014
Sly sports saying Koeman is going to be appointed. happy days as Bruce just isn't a fit.
