I was pretty convinced by the McKenna Four Four Two video, now I'm pretty convinced by the Rydstrom video above.
On balance I think Rydstrom sounds more fun and will be harder for the opposition to figure out. I suspect we might get some early-era RDZ-style results out of that alone.

Has this guy actually been linked with us? Or is it just who people have decided they want?
Nobody on that list is worse than the disinterested DeZerbi of the last few months.
Not even Russell f***ing Martin.

Blimey, what a rogues gallery of a list. Includes John Terry, Wayne Rooney AND Frank Lampard (shudder).
I'd like Erik ten Hag personally, or failing that Erik Ten Haag (both of them are 50-1 bizarrely).

I see Liam Rosenior is coming in a bit on the odds. He could be the dark horse in this. His is available and I am sure he would come if asked. Has he got enough about him though? Good communicator, wouldn't rock the boat, would fit in with the vision, unlikely to leave at the drop of the hat. Almost the exact opposite of RDZ but more polished than GP. Would the team do it on the pitch for him though? The PL is a tough place to work.

Is that stones and pounds ?

Good god. This would be a HORRENDOUS appointment. All outfield players over one side, lose the ball and all the oppo need to do is get it to the other wing and we'll get destroyed.
We can't cope with a lot of counter attack teams when our players are in position, never mind clumped over the other side.
Yes it works against other Swedish Pub teams (look at the god awful defending in this video), but against Citeh? Arsenal? Liverpool? Etc... with their electric counter attacks? We'd be lucky to come away with a 10-0 loss.

Yeah but it would be exciting. And hipster.
I have had a feeling all along that we are going to end up with Russel Martin. I'm sure he's a nice guy and a capable manager but it would be a very disappointing appointment in my opinion. The other candidates all seem to be in talks with other clubs. McKenna with Chelsea, Kompany with Bayern and Farioli with Ajax.
I personally hope it's McKenna but I think he's going to end up elsewhere.

I wonder if Bloom is looking to wait until after the Euros to tempt Southgate here - not that I am a fan but he might be the sort of bloke he is after and he does hail from this area.

What's the consensus amongst Soton fans?
