He has just left Tranmere Rovers by mutual consent, ie they have sacked him, but they like him so let him go with dignity.

Perhaps he could take over from Juric till the end of the season

I can remember when all the knuckle draggers were up in arms he was replaced with Poch

His last game as Saints' manager was a 2-2 draw away at Chelsea at the end of a 5-match unbeaten run. We came back from 2-0 down.

The sacking seemed harsh at the time, but Cortese was ruthless in the pursuit of success and the next 2 managers, Pochettino and Koeman, proved to be better.

Would not be a bad choice in the short term, knows the club, liked by the fans and I think he still has a house in the area

He's a busted flush now. It happens to nearly all managers, even the best. Mourinho is hopeless nowadays. We need someone on the up; not on the way down.

The wheels of his bus have fallen off and it's now rusting in a scrapyard in Tranmere.

We need to employ a manager who ultimately leaves to join a better club not one who is sacked for bad results.
If he is poached then surely that’s because he’s done a good job at Southampton.

We thought that we had the answers, It was the questions we had wrong.

But we don't have Cortese now ................... Our only hope is another Marcus type owner right now who cares for the club and not just his pocket with bargain deals

"leaves to join a better club not one who is sacked for bad results."

You mean like Juric?

Oh, are you going to say you knew all along Pochettino would be a great appointment?

Where was that being discussed?

I was talking about your assertion that 'pretty much the entire fanbase was up in arms at the time' when Adkins was sacked. Which is bollux.

They were and you know it.

You are just playing your usual utterly tedious game of trying to wind up certain people on this message board, no names needed but you know exactly who I mean, by claiming that Cortese was God's gift.

Juric like Jones and Selles were mistakes.

Juric will be replaced by Rusk.
Cheap.
