Who the hell are you to call me naïve for giving my thoughts on the matter? Do I really give a shit what people like George Galloway or Michael Vaughan think about us appointing a foreign manager? To me, their opinions are irrelevant. If you think they are relevant then that's fine but don't call me naïve. Personally I'd like to have had a British manager. I'd also love a team full of players born in Leicester but unfortunately that won't happen either. I take exception to the media picking us out for employing a foreign manager when majority of the league has a foreign manager. Watford being a perfect example.

dedlock Posted 27 October 2017 Share Posted 27 October 2017 All a bit hypocritical. I don’t know who Galloway supports but doesn’t Vaughan support Sheffield Wednesday........who have a foreign manager! A case of those who live in glass houses not throwing stones.

The irony is that this is the same Michael Vaughan who was captain of an England cricket team that included players who most definitely weren’t British let alone English such as KP? Did he complain then about the avenues that were closed off to home grown talent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richmondfox Posted 27 October 2017 Share Posted 27 October 2017 Why should we have to be the ones giving inexperienced English managers a chance for a bigger club to poach if they do a good job. Let one of the bigger clubs take the risk for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwell Pablo Posted 27 October 2017 Share Posted 27 October 2017 Hoddel was appointed by Chelsea in 1993, we've given about 14 British Coaches a chance in the time since that appointment, to their zero, despite numerous managerial shake ups. jeezus.

I really don't get this negativity. Take away the opinions of some Southampton fans during the remaining few months of last season and I don't think we'd be hearing any of this stuff.

waylander Posted 28 October 2017 Share Posted 28 October 2017 The media love to bait the low working class club . While supporting the elite . Life as we know it on our planet.

FoxInTheBirstallBox Posted 28 October 2017 Share Posted 28 October 2017 So the dickhead dire-by can has been laughing because he has been reading his Southampton stats about Puel and saying he wouldn't even have him at Derby! Never mind puels excellent record everywhere else then ? people are really getting sucked into the media. Hope he proves everyone wrong, I'm very optimistic about this appointment!

Xen Posted 28 October 2017 Share Posted 28 October 2017 Last season we gave an Englishman with no managerial experience the reigns to a club in the Champions league knockout stages. Even ignoring the fact that all these journalists are chatting sh*t, I think that more than makes up for the fact that this time we've opted for someone foreign who's worked in the league before. How many English options (who are available) with the same credentials are demonstrably better options than Puel?? Pretty much zero. The stupid thing is that if we'd brought someone like Tuchel/Ancelotti in, it would be regarded as a coup and noone would think to question his nationality.
