Selling all the best players (Wayana and Mane) hiring an unproven french manager, Eric Black as assitant, it can only end up in one outcome surely? a carbon copy of Aston Villa

New assistant manager at Southampton

Couldn't make it up could you

The new manager is French. Black speaks French. That would have helped him.

Now where have we seen that before?  Seems his ability to speak French is considered more important than his coaching.

Ah, never mind. I hadn't heard that they had appointed someone, and even checked wikipedia, which still has the position vacant.

Seems to be a pretty mindblowing appointment
It'll be really interesting to see how they fare next season.

Absolutely. Untried French Manager with Eric Black "assisting".

All sounds vaguely familiar.

Black will go relatively unnoticed until the manager gets the sack, then, Southampton fans will really see what they have.

It beggars belief. Mind you, even if he's capable of uttering "Oui" and "Non" - his French would be infinitely better than his coaching ability. God help Southampton.

He's hardly untried, though, he's been a manager since 1999.

Half their squad have spent the summer at the Euro's, good players, most of ours have spent it at Butlins.

I didn't know that Butlins had opened camps in Dubai and Las Vegas. I had a summer holiday job in Minehead in 1975 just after most of the staff had been fired after a full scale riot against the security bods who had badly beaten one of their number.
