New manager at saints is going to be Claude Puel, Will be announced in the next 72 hours

Sizeable transfer fund from the board that will be made larger by Lallana and Shaw money.

Going to be a summer of change, lots of quality going out, but a lot of quality coming in as well.

Nope it's koeman mate

Claude Puel?? could be a good choice for Saints has a good record

Like the look of what Claude Puel is doing but Koemen rumours growing strong

It may well be Claude Puel I said before May be someone from left field even the bookies ain't seen him coming

Koeman's the man, wasn't sure at first but if you look at his career he's won trophies pretty much wherever he goes, play good football, like bringing through young players and he's an ex Barcelona Star, he would inspire our players, he's got good experience and we'd be perfect for him with our great academy and with a decent transfer kitty as rumoured who knows how well we could do next year!

Let's just hope named soon so can enjoy the world cup!and maybe start reading some positive rumours about players coming in rather than going

The worst he's done with a team is at Valencia where he won the spanish cup and finished 10th with a pretty average team

I saw that and started to worry he didn't do to well in tougher leagues, but saw the team he had and noticed he won a cup on the way too which isn't bad!

Just read that Dutch newspaper reporting new manager to be given 50million plus more if players are sold

Wanyama reported as not wanting to follow poch to spurs. Says he is happy at club. Hope he stays as could become our toure!

ssn suggesting that spurs do not plan to put any bids in for Lallana so maybe Poch does have a bit of respect and dignity after all! Also heard that the board are refusing to even consider selling Adam until after the World Cup although the board have hardly given the impression that they're prepared to dig their heels in over transfers and the Poch situation.

I can't get past this.
Surely the club knew as well as we did that there was a big chance that MoPo would leave the club this summer. SURELY they were already digging around looking to see what was about so they could hit the ground running.

i wasnt surprised when he left, so neither should they have been.

i expected to have the new manager named within days. now we see things like 'saints board start to look for new boss' or 'have started to write up a short list'. F**K me, we should already have a shortlist, interview them all the day after MoPo left and have the new bloke in by last fri to tell Liverpool to stick their SRL bid and AL/DL won't be joining either.

by the time the WC starts we may have gone from 3 saiants players proudly in the England team, to ZERO.

I just can't see how the board can let ALL of our talent go. unless people are right n KL is assest stripping in preperation.

A very pragmatic attitude as well saint newy. A football-ing management team would have been proactive and done similar to what you have mentioned, we unfortunately don't have that anymore since Cortese left.

For me it's a number of possibilities, the main one being that the board what to cash in on the team and are overly optimistic that youth will replace these players, and we know this won't be the case.

I don't see how we are going to attract a high-calibre manager with a public whole sale of our best players continuing. We've had Moyes connected to the vacant post and well that would be madness IMO.
So who's Saints Fans preferred next manager?
