Would be funny, but I can’t see it happening. I think it shows that the markets have no idea on where Southampton are looking…wouldn’t put it past them appointing the U21 manager who is taking charge of the next couple of games.

Dames Posted 3 November 2025 Posted 3 November 2025 Its going to be Russel Martin and we just need to get it over and done with.
Muzzy_no7 Posted 3 November 2025 Posted 3 November 2025 Carrick I would be relatively OK with but we’ll now likely lose that opportunity to Southampton. Dream would be someone like Marco Rose but it isn’t gonna happen.
RedSoxUK Posted 3 November 2025 Posted 3 November 2025 Has anyone suggested Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha yet? He's pretending to be CEO so I don't really see any issue with him pretending to be manager for a bit. 2
winteriscoming Posted 3 November 2025 Author Posted 3 November 2025 I could see it being someone like Carlos Carvahal or David Wagner. Both experienced in this division. Adi Hutter is who I’d want us to get but there’s zero chance he’ll come here.

teblin Posted 3 November 2025 Posted 3 November 2025 Wagner has a strange record not sure what I thinkk of him as an option. Didn't Huddlesfield get promoted with a negative GD?
lcfc_forever Posted 3 November 2025 Posted 3 November 2025 3 hours ago, ClaphamFox said: In Enzo we lucked upon an elite manager who was able to paper over the cracks. Before he left there were reports that he was demanding major changes behind the scenes because he felt our off-field operation was nowhere near the level required to compete at the top, and that the club had agreed to do what he asked. Then Chelsea came in for him, none of the changes were implemented and we downgraded to Steve Cooper. A proper sliding doors moment. Sounds like Chelsea would have also gone for Kompany as they were very impressed with him, but Rangnick changed his mind on the Bayern job, Kompany went to Bayern and Enzo to Chelsea. One of those domino effects! Enzo would likely have transformed the club.

Mahrezisawizard Posted 3 November 2025 Posted 3 November 2025 Can’t see us sacking Cifuentes as surely that would mean our director of football admitting he got it wrong on a managerial appointment again.

Ward worse than useless. amartey I didn’t mind as a squad player. But to drop Soyuncu for him. Unbelievable. Brendan gave up months before he was sacked. Many people to blame for our relegation Brendan certainly high on the list. Doesn’t get what he wants and throws toys out the pram. Really hope he takes the wolves job, and they go down. Nothing against wolves fans or the club. Just Brendan needs the relegation on his CV that he forced on us.
john ridley Posted 3 November 2025 Posted 3 November 2025 Be a different pool of managers we'll be looking at if we're league 1.
Grebfromgrebland Posted 3 November 2025 Posted 3 November 2025 Whoever it is they'll have to be free and cheap. I'm not sure we'd spend the money to get rid of Marti though.
