:saints:šŸ•“ Saints' next manager

Maybe we should promote this Pulis fantasy to see how gullible the punters are…obviously they’re watching Sotonian closely to set the odds. :lou_lol:

Pretty sure it’s been confirmed here. I mentioned him to the local Polska Saints krew & they said

"Pulis? Kurva. PULIS? Pierdola!!!

So yeah sounds nailed on then

Vitor Pereira is the other guy right? Hoping so he has done well in 3 different countries, has a high pressing style and has an awesome win percentage.

Nothing new, just finally had a chance to get properly caught up with reading through the last few pages. Thanks all for your good wishes for my dad.

Has anyone noticed all the FenerbahƧe fans on Twitter basically begging for us to take Pereira? Seems like they’re blaming him for the fact that they didn’t win the league this year.

They seem to be split on it. I’ve had a load of Fener fans drooling over him on my twitter feed, all saying they don’t want him to go. One suggested he is better than Mourinho. But you’re right, others have blamed him for losing out on the title, which I think is harsh, as Beşiktaş are a quality side.

I third this. This place is starting to show a lot of togetherness again, after a few weeks ago, when it seemed like everyone wanted to kill each other. Great to see. :lou_wink_2:

What on earth happened while I was away? Never known Sotonians be anything like that before.

i wonder how many of the names said to be on the list have been true and really considered. Not as many as we think I bet.

Back near the start of this ā€˜info adventure’ three of the names selected to give to me as being on the initial shortlist, was actually said to have been precisely because it was a way for the Board to prepare us for the kind of footballing style and tactics we are looking for in our manager.

But even though I trust what I’m being given [or I wouldn’t be risking posting it] we still cannot discount the possibility that all so called ā€œitksā€ and media alike are simply being used as a smokescreen by the Club to conceal our true target. That would be very sly, and not unforgivable, if it was someone awesome to blow the others away.

Pellegrini Puel and ?

Pulis? Seriously???

Shit! Tony is out of the bag. Fuck. The club were hoping to keep him quiet until his unveiling, knowing what a fantastic surprise it would be for the fans, having been linked with all these other lesser managers first. :lou_wink_2:

It would be most amusing, as we saw with Zenga, people will bet on anyone the Sun thinks is a good laugh to publish. Pulis wouldn’t be a bad shout compared to Walter though.

Also wanted to thank you all, even those who doubt everything I’ve shared. It has been hilarious having my mind opened to the things some of the twitter crowd think about me. Whilst I don’t take any of it personally, it’s just people’s opinions who mostly know nothing about who I am, I have still appreciated the open minded and even supportive reception I’ve received here. But knowing what a sound bunch you are, I wouldn’t really have expected anything less.

As I said to Pap in PM earlier – I would hope that from my overall contributions since I’ve arrived – you’d already know I’m not the kind of person to just make up a load of shit, despite the name I post under. My time is so stretched already as it is, with increased workload of the last few weeks, and looking after my dad, why on earth would I want to waste the little time I have on knowingly spreading lies? Or for that matter, gamble any respect I had accumilated thus far at Sotonians on the possibility of it all blowing up in my face?

Whether it is true or not [and so far, I’m sure you’ll agree that a lot of it has been proven accurate] – I’m just genuinely passing on what I’m given in good faith, as I knew people would be interested.

But all the same, your support has been much appreciated. Thank you. :lou_smiley:

As I checked up on this thread before going to bed, one of my cats walked up to the litter box near my computer and used it generating a less than pleasant smell.

I don’t know if this was intended as the smell version of back ground music.

That being said all of Jack Schitt’s posts of this thread have seemed so reasonable and plausible that I frequently have to remind myself that I really don’t know if they are true.

Either way, I believe this is a compliment to Jack Schitt.

Finally, am I correct in assuming that some posters here know his real identity? (I am not asking who he is–just curious if some people know).

When the club want the fans to know something, and Les Reed can’t make a video cos he’s got a troublesome pimple or something, they call Jack, and he expels the info out of his back door.

That is how I see it. The info is prob still a fair bit club Spin & Propoganda, but it’s gd infos + I like reading about it. If we got another ITK who told us stuff the club wants to keep quiet, that would prob be more Scandal, but I spose we can get that type of gossip from the imagination of i.e. Barry and i.e. Alpine Saint.

That response will do for now. Bit rough that I was forced to use strategems and blackmails to get it, but That’s Women For You.

Bearsy in knowing women better than the rest of us shocker

One day I’ll get to see one naked, and I will be like, so pumped.

That’s ok, in hindsight my request for an overly specific comedy effect penis emoticon may have been too much to ask. I will just have to learn to express myself better :lou_eyes_to_sky: :lou_lol: :lou_surprised: :lou_wink_2: :lou_sunglasses:

Blind faith, by the younger generation! As you get older you realise there is no point getting excited about England in a tournament, but when I was my daughters age I was the same, so up for it. She and her friends were going nuts. I was sat here going, well a draw will see us through. We might even get to the quarters, but that will be the best we will do.

The older teenagers and people in their 20’s plough money on England, in the blind faith I take of.
