I hope our fans arent really gonna start acting like abunch of spoilt miserable cunts. Sure it aint LvG but fuck it we aint man u. The beauty of football is Poch could do agreat job if he gets the right support. Prolly aint gonna happen but fuck it one can hope. I reckon if Jesus came down to manage Tottenham loads of our fans would still be pissed off lol

Les or Ramsey?
Pochettino in his time at Espanyol and Southampton has a win % of 34, highest league finish 8th and no trophies.
I like how he sets his team up BUT he has done nothing yet as a manager and can't speak English fluently.
Hope its not him

I cant believe for a second this is a knee jerk/convenient decision.
IMO Levy will have been plotting this for months, so whoever does come in will be the man he really wants, not just the most readily available.
I know Lennon was bigger than Jesus, but this is a bit tacky.
Lol @ the ITK
"The board will appoint a manager by this week, maybe near the end of the week"
(so that I can say they musta dunnit early, init, if it's done before)
"Rumours say that they have rounded it down to 2 from 6 and will eventually appoint just one of them"
"My sources tell me it will be someone who has worked in football before"
"A man"
"He will not be English"

This is from Saints web.. They've been told he's gone.
From SaintsWeb:
Completely gutted. Don’t know how else to describe it.
Been doing this for years, but can’t remember such a gut wrenching departure.
Players come and go – Part of the game and I’m old enough to understand that once a players head is turned, it is very difficult if not impossible to reverse the situation.
I’ve read on here how Lallana and Shaw would stay. They won’t and never would have, regardless who was in charge, But I always felt we had a shout with Poch and I could have lived with any of the players leaving as long as we kept him.
May be the shock of losing him to Spurs is a measure of how far we have come (Trying to find some positives) but it feels like the last five years have just come to a grinding halt.
It wasn’t just the results, it was the football. Poch is and was the real deal. A complete breath of fresh air to the premiership and I loved every minute of it.
Don’t blame the board, I am sure we did everything we could, but the footballing pecking order has spoken again, the most annoying thing, is that we were so close….so so so so close to doing something magical. The irony for me is that we were a world class striker away and at 15 million we really went for it with Osvaldo…..it just didn’t work out.
Don’t give up on Saints, we will be back.

People crying about AVB not being given time.....already writing off Poch

Martinez would be a fool to come here now.
He should stay, and build on this season.

Not entirely true. We've seen two instances of evidence of Levy learning within the past year:
1 - Decent amount of transfer business was handled before the start in August. As such, we actually managed to pick up a decent haul of points instead of waiting until September to take care of things and consequently drop 7-10 points against sides we should easily handle.
2 - Rehire of Ian Broomfield. Proven, excellent eye for talent that was unfortunately let go of when AVB was hired and insisted on having his own players. Grabbing Broomfield with whatever it took to snag him away from being on the verge of signing for Woolwich is as much a concession from Levy of being wrong as there is.
I don't blame you for being cynical from all the crap of recent years in particular, but there are some very positive indications at the moment that would be suggestive of reasonable hope.
