[Football] Southampton's new manager announced

Adolf Hütter. Brave parents, or maybe they're trying to be the change they want to see in the world.

Will be buying a lot of right wingers

From the little I know, could be a very good appointment. He's had money before though so interesting to see if they back him big.

Probably a decent EPL job to wait for if you have a big reputation, just a horrible club at the same time.

I think a three year contract is a tad optimistic.

That would be left wingers.

Managed to steer just promoted Leipzig the a second-placed finish in the Bundesliga in 2016/17. 6th the following season. Not a nobody.

So he could turn out to be another Andre Villas-Boas.

With the vast resources of Red Bull at his disposal, no less.

£28m I'd think would be a fair offer

Stretch Armstrong would be a useful squad addition as well

28 million = Armstrong coming this way .

Just eavesdropped on my wife listening to his interview on Saints website. He spoke to a certain Pascal Gross several times before saying yes. he used to be our Cruyff copyist's manager at Ingolstadt.

I was also gratified to hear him say that his name means "little house for a rabbit", which is what I had already been calling him..... except that Hase is hair, not rabbit!

He did seem quite impressive, though. Seems measured, like our own main man, but business-like.


(Edit: I'm not implying that CH is not business-like - far from it!!!)

Ahem.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I seem to recall him being on the FAs short list at one time or another?

 

[The Wookiee]

Sorry - correct.

He was Pascal Groß' manager at Ingolstadt before that.

And Bernado’s Manager at Leipzig?
