That is all.

Shit, shit move.

Well there's a new source of amusement to me, the Press Releases from Southampton.

They are certainly "can do..."

 

[Aristotle]

What a random article. Most of it just goes on about how wonderful Southampton are. They could at least have got a native English speaker to write it!!

 

[The Large One]

Their Press Officer needs a crash course in intelligent English.


By Cortese's quote is a ripper...

"I am delighted to have been able to appoint Nigel as our new First Team Manager. We were inundated with applications from an impressive range of managers - a far cry from the position we found ourselves in when we last appointed a manager - and Nigel stood out from the start. He was at the forefront of my mind throughout the interview process, and the only manager that we offered the job to, so I am extremely happy that both Nigel and Andy have agreed to join us.


Wahey!

'Don't we have anyone else applying other than this fuckwit Pardew....?'

 

[Barrel of Fun]

He also possesses a keen eye for young English talent.

It shouldn't be a big problem to fill the vacated shoes of Alan Pardew. (Allegedly)

What is clear from the excellence of the applicants is that the outside world is now beginning to acknowledge the quality of new thinking and ideas we are applying at Southampton.

No. There are plenty of managers that want an (on paper) easy job to secure promotion and add that to the CV.

 

[Horsham Gull]

Assistant manager Andy Crosby will join him at the League One outfit after the two clubs agreed a compensation package for the pair.

does this mean uncle Deano is out of a job again?

 

[fire&skill]

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

What's happened to Wilkins?

 

[The Large One]

Bhadeb will tell us in due course, no doubt.

 

[clapham_gull]

What is clear ... is that the outside world is now beginning to acknowledge the quality of new thinking and ideas we are applying at Southampton.

"The Outside World.." WTF ?

 

[Collar Feeler]

They are so far up their own arse its untrue. What a sickly mutual handjob of an article that is.

"The appointment follows an intense, but thorough search, with the Club having received a very high volume and quality of applications, the majority of which came from well respected managers currently working in the top two divisions of English football and abroad"

Oh do f*** off you bunch of self gratifying toadying pricks. They think they are Man Utd ffs.

 

[HseagullsH]

A good appointment, a better manager than Pardew for them I reckon

 

[cjd]

Interesting appointment.

Has done very well at Scunthorpe..............but apart from that, nothing else.

 

[clapham_gull]

"The appointment follows an intense, but thorough search"

Are those terms mutually exclusive ?

 

[The Large One]

Anyone want to open the book on when Adkins walks / gets fired unfairly?

I'll say January 2011.

 

[Foolg]

Shit, shit move.

Explain

Couldn't put it any better than that!

 

[Silent Bob]

I like how they capitalise the word club. Is this Cortese bloke from the Soviet Union or something? Weird.
