He didn't exactly come with a 'glowing reference' when we poached him from Rotherham either.

It seems like with us his key skill is an English coach that is fluent in French

No, I think there will be at least some attempt at telling us something we don't already know.

Our players last year weren't corrupt, they were just crap.

Southampton confirm assistant manager Eric Black to be named in 'Football For Sale' undercover sting

Southampton have confirmed that assistant manager Eric Black will be named as part of the Daily Telegraph's 'Football For Sale' investigation.

Saints revealed on Thursday evening that Claude Puel's number two will feature in Friday's article of the sting which has shocked English football.

Sam Allardyce lost his job as England boss after being filmed advising people purporting to be businessmen how to circumvent the FA's rules on third-party ownership.

And Barnsley assistant Tommy Wright has been sacked by the Tykes after he was implicated, with QPR also investigating Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.

Southampton said: "Southampton Football Club has today been made aware by The Daily Telegraph that, as part of their on-going investigation, the club's Assistant First Team Manager Eric Black will feature as part of an article in tomorrow's paper.

"The club immediately requested to be sent, by The Daily Telegraph, the details of this article, but the newspaper declined to share any further information.

"We have today contacted The FA and The Premier League, and intend to work closely with both bodies on this matter when the facts become clear.

"Southampton Football Club is fully committed to investigating any situation that directly or indirectly relates to our club, employees or the wider community.

With the benefit of hindsight, it seems that TSM2 was committed to appointing mentalists and ne'er do wells to assist him in his grizzly task of dismembering our club.

If he knew how to grease the palm how did he not manage to buy a few wins last seasons.
