NotTheMarketLeader Posted 25 October 2017 Share Posted 25 October 2017 This looks a REALLY shit appointment to me based on last season. Let’s put to one side the fact that he was sacked for his boring style of football last season (which should be taken into account as it’s a style that doesn’t suit our team for certain.) Our players only tried in the PL for maximum four months out the ten last year. Despite this we had the same number of wins and scored more goals than Southampton did during the term. The wrongly ruled out Vardy goal in the last home game against Bournemouth would have put is in 8th position and not them. How and why is this bloke getting shoo’d in on that basis? As has been said elsewhere by Babylon the wording being used is now Head Coach not manager, a position that answers to..... you gussed it the D of F. Finally I don’t see this guy’s reported personality working with these players whatsoever. When this bloke goes Rudkin has to go with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints fans are quite possibly the nicest, most polite and well mannered fans in England. When we get relegated, I might start following them instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 25 October 2017 Share Posted 25 October 2017 It'd be tough for him. The club is on a roll in the League Cup, if he knocks us out - fans will probably turn on him. But if we continue to progress in the cup, but aren't above 15th - fans will still probably turn on him, moaning about that he should prioritise the league before etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puel failed in that If his attitude, negativity & all round dour nature is repeated we WILL lose players we want to keep that will let us grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chico1958 Posted 25 October 2017 Share Posted 25 October 2017 I may regret this but Puel or Pardew, Coleman, Giggs etc .............. I go for the Frenchman My preferred choices don't want it, so let the guy give it a go As for negative references about being boring, a couple of top 10 seasons and I'll take that. Maybe, even a Cup Final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely awful then We got 48 goals last season & had Ranieri playing utter crap with no player knowing what they were doing for 3qtrs of the season & Mahrez/Vardy passing to each other about once This has got Peter Taylor outcomes written all over it... But so did Ranieri in 15/16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg_fried_rice Posted 25 October 2017 Share Posted 25 October 2017 Don't mind this appointment really. Hard to say how he'll do for us as his record is a mixed bag. Have we ever appointed a league winning manager before? Some ludicrous overreactions on here, quelle surprise. Him or the likes of Coleman? It's a no-brainer. Out of interest, I checked our goals scored in the prem (all time) and we've got 528 in 431 games, which works out at an average of about 1.22 per game and 46.5 in a 38 game season, which is about where Puel's average sits. Here's hoping our glut of attacking options will see both those averages rise a bit! I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and my full support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted 25 October 2017 Share Posted 25 October 2017 Not gonna slag him off before I’ve gave him a chance but I’m not keen and abit pissed off about it. I’m uninspired and underwhelmed. But the last time I was unhappy with a managerial appointment we went and won the league - the following season he did what I thought he would and the reason I was unhappy about his appointment though. Well, I think we’ll be looking for another manager within 8 to 12 months. I think i’d rather have kept Shakespeare - who we’ve just sacked for being uninspiring, boring and defensive, so why are we replacing someone his equal or keep Appleton for now, atleast Appleton has shown some attack intent.
