Pascal Plancque was his no.2 at Southampton alongside Eric Black.

That's the face of a guy who loves his job. I feel inspired just looking at him.

Amazed by this. It's like they are trying to repeat what happened with Ranieri by going for a totally left field appointment that most people are massively underwhelmed by. Just hope the recipe works again.

Southampton fans were glad he went. So what new here for him.

 

I think some of their fans were quite torn, to be fair he had just led them to a Cup Final (Knocking out Arsenal & Liverpool on the way) and a top half finish even after losing the likes of Mane and Wanyama. Also only having VVD for half a season.  

 

I've seen quite a few wishing they had given him another season as his replacement is hardly setting the world alight. 

 

I think some fans are being slightly harsh considering the other names towards the top of the odds list, Pardew & Coleman to name a couple.

The problem is, the list of potential names was hardly a glittering one. 

 

Giggs- Never been a full-time manager

Moyes- Sacked from his last three jobs with all fans fed up

Pardew- Streaky manager who has lost his way

Coleman- Very unconvincing club career

Appleton- Better as an assistant currently

Dyche- Unlikely that he'd join this time but the best shout

Howe- Doubts about his ability away from Bournemouth

 

Ancelotti, Tuchel, Silva weren't going to come. Appointing managers during the season is much, much harder. We'll fail because we didn't do enough work in the summer, with time on our side, to get what they wanted (which clearly wasn't Shakespeare). 

 

If Puel can get the players onside he should be fine, that isn't a given though. However, that would be the same for any new manager.

Exactly this. Whether Puel is the best option but I'm sure most of the people slating him couldn't name a better AND realistic alternative..

Don't know what i said wrong, few joining in with crap

You keep shit posting him without even giving explanation other than "he's crap".

Feel underwhelmed but the biggest positive for me is that I trust Southampton's manager recruitment more than ours and they saw something in him just over a year ago so...

Pretty good point tbf.

Somewhat underwhelmed, but he comes with Premier League experience and may have that knack for turning a struggling ship around that we so desperately need.

 

If it's fine by the board, then it's fine by me!

 

Maintenant à l'attaque, monsieurs! La saison commence dès demain.
