Claude Puel Looking Forward To A Wonderful Challenge
at 20:27:09

I'm happy very positive for the year ahead.
He seems suitable enough. Perfect timing for the start of pre season so he can get to grips with everyone. Has to plug the hole on players leaving. It'll be nice to see some kids coming through this year so hopefully not many going out on loan and bring in a couple more to replace mane and wanyama equal or better quality to lift the squad.
Now for the kicker, i cant help to think about Aston Villa's experience with a French manager and how they struggled with an influx of new French players to the premiership with Eric Black as coach. Can't be repeated so lessons must be learned from this.

Saints Ready To Appoint Claude Puel !
at 18:41:50

i'm unsure with this guy as Puel is an unknown name to me but equally I'm happy with any decision the board make. i would like Laurent Blanc now he is available but we will always be a stepping stone for any managers career on the up. I really think we wont finish top six next season because with any new manager coming without premier league experience the first year will be difficult so my expectations have fallen a little since Koeman left. (hope to finish above any mersey side team)
My dilemma is a big name manager will attract big name players which we need to push on - big name players are not always loyal long term and cost an absolute fortune.
So i think i would be happy with an unknown as long as we keep the quality of players we have and the team spirit we have. Please no more departures lets build on what we got.
