Wallace Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I know clubs often talk of having a list of transfer targets as contingencies if they ever sell some of their players. Do you think that they do the same for managers as well? I mean obviously I wouldn't expect our lot to do that, but clubs with a competent board I mean. Southampton do. From their website. Reed says that the club is constantly working to identify future managers and coaches, just as it does with prospective player signings. It was that approach, he reveals, that left Southampton with a list of potential appointments to work off from the moment that Pochettino resigned at the end of last month. “The interesting thing is that, while we were endeavouring to ensure that Mauricio stayed, there was always the possibility – as there is at any time in a manager’s tenure – that we might part company,” explained Reed. “You have to have a succession plan up your sleeve, which is what we had, so we possibly had six-to-ten candidates on our ongoing research list. “Some time before [Pochettino’s departure], we began updating and making sure we knew the status of those candidates. “Like targeting players and doing the background analysis and due diligence we do on them on a daily basis, we’ve always done the same process with regard to managers and coaches. “Because we have access to fantastic video footage and data from clubs all around the world that we collate on a regular basis, that gives us an idea of styles of play and the ways certain coaches like their teams to be set up. “We have always kept an eye on up and coming coaches, which is how we ended up recruiting Mauricio Pochettino. That [appointment] was the result of a lot of hard work, research and diligence based on what he’d done as a coach at Espanyol in terms of developing players, bringing them through and overachieving for a club that wasn’t particularly well-funded. “Of course, when it was announced that Mauricio was actually leaving, we were inundated with enquiries,” continued Reed. “When this has happened before, if you got – I’ll throw a number out there – 40 enquiries, probably 30 of them would be speculative. This time, we had the odd one-or-two crank applicants, which were entertaining, but by and large we were amazed at the level of applicant who wanted to show interest in the job. “We were astounded. To me, that shows the esteem which this club has in the industry. “In the end, we whittled it down from managers who’ve won trophies, won leagues, won European competitions, had vast experience of playing in the Champions League and European cups and so on. “We’ve had [interest from] international managers and from all continents like South America and Asia, but we were quite delighted that, when we got down to the final four, all four of them had been on our list originally. “I can’t give away any secrets, but we are now closing in on a preferred candidate. Things are going well. “What takes time on these things is the paperwork, but I’m hoping we can get that sorted very quickly and the fans will be excited about an announcement coming up sooner rather than later.” Read more at http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/12062014-les-reed-on-new-manager-1640712.aspx#SXmkzIy8zX3KrCWK.99 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 They're worried that if they sack SMc nobody of any repute will come and work in the present set-up. Changing the set-up is only an option Ashley can force, and he doesn't seem inclined. So they've gone away to think if Tim Sherwood et al are really better options than the SMc. Just maybe they could entice someone good (Rafa) on a 10 game contract, but then if he succeeds and wants to stay, Carr and the gang will lose their power base. It's a lose-lose scenario for the Board.......unless SMc can turn it round....which he can't....but just maybe they can give him two more games...oh it's Tuesday...Wednesday...too late to change now....it will be different when the injuries clear Even if nobody wanted to right now permanently, all they have to do is offer the best managers they can think of £1m to manage us for 10 games and a huge bonus for keeping us up. They'll have plenty of managers much better than McClaren ready to take a couple of months out of their schedule to make some huge money. For us it would be a drop in the ocean to what we'd lose if we were relegated, so money very well spent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I think this is the model failing. The equation "good enough to keep us up" and "no demands" was close to collapsing under Pardew. In McClaren they thought they'd be able to replicate it, adding a bit more spending because of the tv deal and to get rid of last seasons revolutionary tendencies. But no. Is there anyone left to choose from? I don't think so. I don't think anyone that match their criteria will step up this time. I don't see why Moyes or Rodgers would walk into this, not under the circumstances Ashley would want them to. And if someone is stupid enough to do it, I don't think it'll help because of what they inherit. He's created a incurable and poisoned culture of failing that he's not going to fix. We're f***ing doomed and it's probably for the best. Yep, good post, fully agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially has been Brits. All they need to do is somehow keep the club up, buy a couple of defenders and a striker in the summer after hiring said has been. Hope they're not as shambolic as McClaren. Rinse and repeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
