Jurgen Klinsmann For Saints !!!

Suddenly from nowhere a shock name has shot to the top of the bookies tables, pushing Manuel Pellegrini into second place.

A few hours ago you could not get evens on Manuel Pellegrini to take over as Saints manager, then suddenly Jurgen Klinsmann came in from out of the blue and is now installed as bookies favourite with the best price available being 6/4 on the German taking over.

Meanwhile Pellegrini's own odds have become more attractive and 5/1 is attainable at a couple of the on line bookmakers if you still fancy hi.

So why has suddenly Klinsmann shot into the reckoning, as I have said this market falls into the fun betting and it does not take much to bring the odds down, or of course someone could have heard a whisper.

Klinsmann is of course still head coach for the USA International side a post he has held since the summer of 2011.

At club level he has little experience, before taking over the USA he had a season at Bayern Munich, or I should say almost a season as he was sacked with 5 games to go.

Before that he had two seasons as head coach of Germany tking them to the World Cup semi finals on home soil in 2006 before declining to renew his contract and subsequently taking two years out of the game.

A very left field choice if Saints do go for him and not one that will please the fans at least not initially.
