lgfualol Posted 24 October 2017 Share Posted 24 October 2017 Plus point for me is his faith in youth players. Gray and Chilwell might actually get some game time, as well as other promising youth players. People like Shakespeare would just forever play plodders and give 2 year contracts to the likes of Ulloa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted 24 October 2017 Share Posted 24 October 2017 For the record I would be happy with either, but I find it very odd people dismiss Puel out of hand with his record but want Dyche? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy can hardly speak English never mind do that. What a boring appointment if it happens and he'll be gone in 12-18 months if it does. You would give him that long under 'quick-fire' Jonny 'the Kid' Rudkin?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannythefox Posted 24 October 2017 Share Posted 24 October 2017 For me its the biggest decision so far for them. We need to take the club up now for a few seasons and get in that top half. We need to attract some quality players by bringing in a well thought of manager. Puel is not in that bracket of manager to to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm becoming less against the idea seeing some of the stuff what people are saying on this thread but still would prefer Dyche massively His Nice team were fun. A Southampton team ravaged by injuries were not. Saints aren't exactly Brazil '70 this season either btw. He's a pragmatist, he'll look at what we have and fit tactics around them, as most good coaches would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackneyfox Posted 24 October 2017 Share Posted 24 October 2017 1 hour ago, Gerard said: I'm aware it didn't happen but there was a gnat's knacker between 8th and 17th. We finished 12th but could have easily finished 8th on the last day of the season. My point is I wouldn't give Puel too much credit for finishing 8th when six points less could have been 17th. Are we allowed to ask where they'd have finished with 6 points more? Banging on about where they'd ha e finished IF they'd had 6 fewer points seems a bit ...... pointless.

He completely rebuilt that club from lower mid-table to title contenders and left to go to a bigger opportunity at M'boro. Don't reinvent history. And he's only had a short amount of time at Boro so far, time will tell. He's a good manager, done great jobs at Swansea and Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampson Posted 24 October 2017 Share Posted 24 October 2017 Just asked a French user and Marseille fan on another forum about his time in France and he said this: To me he sounds exactly like a manager who does build struggling teams into good upper half teams but one who probably can't keep an already upper half team moving forward. It actually made me think this might be a decent appointment as I see us closer to Lille and Nice right now needing someone who'll build us into a good top half side rather than Lyon or Southampton who are already there. He said the following: . He did wonderful job at Lille back in the days, putting the club back were it counts in the mid-2000s, pathed the way to the cup-league double made by Garcia in 2011. Then went to Lyon. After 7 leagues in a row, Lyon never won it once in the 3 years he was at the club, or ever since, but under him they went to semis in CL for the first time. He also made dubious signings, most notably former lille players that weren't as good as expected. Then he went to Nice, where the same thing happened as when he was at Lille. Put the club back in top tier in the league, pathed the way to Favre incredible season last year. At Nice he liked to lauch young players, but he also used to field his two sons regularly while it was obvious they were not good enough. All in all a pretty decent manager I guess.

That was in a league and country he would have known inside out, and which is less competitive. If we sack a manager, it shouldn't be to replace him with someone equally as average, especially when the outgoing manager has been inside the club for a long time and a key part of success. Reading many Southampton fans views, he sounds like a very poor choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
