Eds do you have any info on potential incoming managers?

Like everyone else I'd love Tuchel but that seems like a long-shot. any idea on the more realistic options we may be looking at?

{Ed002's Note - The club have asked someone about Roger Schmidt.}

I suggested Roger Schmidt some time back but got the old unbelievable ratings. He is available having parted with Bayer Leverkusen earlier this year. He is a great coach and specializes in the high pressing game that we came to enjoy under Poch.

Schmidt has gone to China this morning.

That's a shame, just read that he has signed a contract with Beijing, hopefully Saints will move a bit quicker if they are serious about Tuchel.

I've been tracking the odds on this. Until 2 or 3 days ago, Paddy Power were the only firm offerings odds on our next manager, the Bet Victor appeared with some odds. PP had Tuchel at 8/ 1 a week ago, then 5/ 1 until yesterday when it was 7/ 2. I thought that was quite a move. This morning, he is now 15/ 8, huge move in odds terms. I'm trying hard not get excited, although seen too many things like to get carried away.

I wish Dorset was still around to confirm or deny this one early doors :-)

Don't worry WanderingSaint. the schools break up in a few weeks, then he'll be back.
