These people clearly intend to run the club efficiently and are not afraid to make difficult decisions if they feel it would benefit the club. What we need to do is get behind these decisions and not winge and whine if we disagree. When the new manager is announced, on past form, this website will be awash with people moaning it isn't someone different. I hope those people who wanted us to into administration have enjoyed the last few months, because I have been a nervous wreck. Whatever happens now we should be thankful that we have a club to support and support is exactly what the club needs at the moment.

How many of Saints current squad fit that requirement ? The new manager has a very short time to remedy that.

I am not proud of the way my club has treated Mark but i understand it was Mark Fry who handed Wotte the one year contract last week. What right did he have to do that bearing in mind he didn't even know for sure who the new owners would be! I managed to find Wotte's facebook site and sent him my commiserations. It would be a nice touch if lots of you out there would do the same and wish him well for the future. Having got that out of the way i have 3 managerial candidates to suggest. First choice Wee Gordon (of course). 2. Kevin Keegan. 3. Steve Coppell. Any more suggestions please?

First and foremost I would like to clear some issues up that some Saint's fans who clearly know nothing about football, Kelvin Davis is a very good keeper and when Saint's first signed him from Sunderland he had some very bad moments, but since then he has improved massively and his confidence has returned which has made him turn out to be one of, if not the best keeper outside the Premiership and I am ecstatic he has signed for Saint's, although I don't like keepers being captain because they have little influence. Secondly Gordon Strachan left Southampton because he fell out with Rupert Lowe selling his best players and giving him no or little money to replace them with, The so-called hip operation was Ruperts idea because he did not want Strachan dropping him in the s**t and was also part of many confidentiality agreements many ex-managers have signed in the past, Glenn Hoddle never laid any platforms or fondations for Gordon Strachan to get success, Gordon Strachan achieved his success through his very good managerial experience and proved what a very good manager he is and is held in high regard by the majority of Saint's fans and is why so many want him to return, including me. Gordon Strachans red and white army, Gordon Strachans red and white army, one Gordon Strachan, theres only one Gordon Strachan.

I doubt there is a manager in the country would have saints up last season when not able to buy players or even bring in loan players. The squad had little quality or depth. Wotte has been made the scapegoat of that. I am probably in a minority of one cos however you put it Strachan dumped us. even 'if' he did have a hip operation you are on your feet in a few weeks and about. Hoddle did nothing that Matt Le Tiss would not have done. He went back to the club he loved. He always said he would if the opportunity arose. Actually i understand that more than Strachan. Why we have got some guy in the baordroom who was there before i don't know. I think on admin and managerial fronts we need new faces who have never worked at this club. Wotte was always on a hiding to nothing i respect the guy and hope he does well enough to show us we were wrong to let him go.

Former Celtic boss Gordon Strachan is being lined for a shock return to Southampton. The Sun says new owner Markus Liebherr sacked Mark Wotte as Saints head coach yesterday, less than 24 hours after buying the club. And the Swiss billionaire is believed to want former boss Strachan to be part of his new regime at St Mary's - either as boss or a football advisor. Saints refused to deny reports that Strachan was at the club's training ground yesterday, hours after Wotte's dismissal. SW: view-tour

This is just a list for mugs to pile in and fill the bookies pockets. Doesn't matter how low or high the odds are someone will put their money in dreaming of a killing.

You don't see many bookies going bust but how many punters go skint after betting on a 'sure thing'?

Only one winner here - SkyBet.

Stupidest comment ever. take it you are no gambler then?? believe it or not that bookmakers are also a business. it is a business that works by minimising risk. through intelligence of a situation, bookmakers will adjust odds to minimise the risk of losing out. therefore, they may know something we don't. or they may be acting on something others know. either way, it is what it is, if people knew redknapp was coming back, skybet wouldn't be giving a price of 66s. just because you think gambling is a 'mugs game'doesn't mean it isn't some peoples hobby.

WGS offered 3 year contract, worth £500k with £150 bonus for any promotion during that time. Word from the Club says that Strachan has accepted the deal provided he is able to get revenue straight away and that he can allow Henderson to take charge of affairs while he scouts and talks to contats about signings. Strachan has already earmarked Richard Eckersley of Manchester United as a target after talks took place between QPR and United over the player. Strachan has moved straight in and asked for an initial 6month loan and the option of the remaining season if Fergie accepts that he is being played and getting the experiance. Very reliable and will be announced soon

If there is any way I can show proof that he has signed and that im not guessing, wait for the Strachan leaves Henderson in charge while he does enquiries with only 4weeks to KO of new season, also the Eckersley deal will confirm im not on a wind up or second guessing.

Nevermind Mac78....you could me....I'm stuck up here near Manchester and unable to afford the petrol for a Season Ticket. You are luckier than you realise. Only if you knew how much pain that gives me. I am so thankful that we just have a club and a fantastic new owner in Markus. Your support is appreciated. Keep it up.

maybe you would have rather we went bust? what a loser

That's a very intelligent comment, thanks for that...if you read carefully you'll see that not only have I always bought a season ticket - even when others were sulking and staying away (fair weather fans)- I also donated money to my club to help them stay afloat. I even stopped some pikey chavvy bird from stealing a piece of the advertising boards at the stadium with our club logo on it at the last game of the season when some 'fans' were showing they weren't Saints fans at all. But go ahead and question my loyalty, I'm secure in my knowledge that I've done everything I could to help save my club... so have a field day, go for it if it gives you a bit of entertainment lol.

Inspirational former Leeds United skipper Gordon Strachan is poised for a sensational return to management at League One rivals Southampton. The feisty Scot, who left deposed SPL champions Celtic after their failure to win a trophy last term, is a white hot favourite with the bookies to re-take the hotseat at St Mary's. Sky Bet have cut Strachan, who was in charge of the south coast clADVERTISEMENTub from October 2001 to February 2004, to 1/5 in their next Southampton manager market after taking a flood of money on the former international to return. Strachan has been backed down from Sky Bet's initial offering of 4/1, which was available yesterday afternoon when new Southampton owner Markus Liebherr sacked Mark Wotte as head coach, less than 24 hours after buying the club. Sky Bet's Mike Triffitt said: "Strachan is the only candidate that customers have wanted to back since news broke of Wotte's sacking yesterday. "We took a steady stream of decent bets from the Southampton area at odds against last night and this morning we had several requests for four-figure bets at 8/13. We are close to suspending the market as, if the money is to be believed, Strachan will be making a return to St Mary's." Sky Bet make Southampton 5/6 favourites to win their opening league fixture against Millwall (11/4, draw 9/4). Saints start in League One with a ten point penalty and are 25/1 to win the title and 8/1 for an immediate return to the Championship. From the Yorkshire Evening Post, read into it what you will...

Think most people would disagree with you on that mate, he might be alright for this league but not at St Mary's if we get back to premier status you would probably call for Redknapp's return

Seriously mate, in the world of betting if someone was 1-5 on as he was earlier what is 5-4 then if that is not drifting out?And as for given Adams a chance who exactly was he loyal too?Skates,Arsenal maybe England but does that make him a good manager,his record proves not.My opinion is just that but for me it has to be G.S,Coppell,Alan Curbs and most of all King kev cause i beleive he would sell thousands of extra season tickets and has a proven record at this level.

NAyway i hope we sort out the manager soon we need to bring in players and bed them in before the season starts. The team we have is not good enough to get promotion as it stands. Especially with a 10 point deduction and a good start is imperitive to keep hopes alive and gates from dropping.
also every team will treat our games as a cup final.
son't expect an easy season we are going to have to graft for anything.

All of this comes in the wake of the new buyout of the club and it seems that things could be getting better for the southern club.

Sky Bet's Mike Triffitt said: "Strachan is the only candidate that customers have wanted to back since news broke of Wotte's sacking yesterday. "We took a steady stream of decent bets from the Southampton area at odds against last night and this morning we had several requests for four-figure bets at 8/13. We are close to suspending the market as, if the money is to be believed, Strachan will be making a return to St Mary's."

You claim to have stuck with this club through thick and thin, continuing to buy season tickets year after year. and you have to ask who WGS is, methinks someone is telling porkies

Brilliant if it it's done.. Hope Matty gets asst job. If so many can afford 4 figure bets could they afford a dally into sponsorship? Help out if you can.. perfect time to get into adverts at sms.. every little bit will help keep ticket and gear prices down.. that's business. If I owned a company in the are at the moment and could afford a 1000 pound bet I'd put the money into an advert at sms and get on board.

I'm sure that the best available Manager will be selected. I've quoted that Kevin Keegan would be my choice as he'd do it for himself, the love of our club, our city, Mick Channon & for the memory of Alan Ball. He's already done it with Fulham, Man City & Newcastle. I would equally welcome Gordon Strachan (WGS) too.... as he'd get the team hungry and fit with that fire in our belly. Having said that...I'm no expert. It feels so strange being able to talk so postively after the past 5 years!. To be honest....I'm still in shock by our good fortune with our new owner in Markus. It'll be interesting to see if we'll buy a decent striker who can shot on target?. Come On You Saints!

That sounds cooler than cool! Wonder whether Keegan would feel comfortable with Tiss stood behind him knowing how much Tiss is idolised here.

Do you know, I have been reading through all the posts on here this morning (sad git that I am) without really wanting to comment until I saw yours southampton heart. It does feel strange to feel so positive. I am mostly used to fretting and worrying and feeling depressed about the future of out club. The posts have all changed on here too. Everyone used to moan and **** and argue. Sometimes it got unpleasant. It now feels that a great weight has been lifted and everyone is looking to the future with enthusiasm and expectation. A very strange feeling indeed but most welcome!

St. Rachel, you should be working for the Daily Globe.

BUT, bookies always talk like this when they know their onto something we dont know. Thats why i'm not convinced.
Hope i'm wrong though!

Fer feck sake Mac. What more do you want? Are you a professional complainer? Have you any idea how close you came to not having a club to buy a season ticket for? Do you realise whats needed to take this club back where it belongs? If your like this through the thick, you must have been more than a little bit p1ssed off through the thin. If I did'nt know any better I'd think you were from that other club. s/w sneaky-blue

Have you nothing better to do? Very little winding up from our side when you were at your lowest ebb, but then again we're not insecure and bitter.

Hey I take sh*t and cr@p every day where I live, never wanted to leave Southampton in the first place. Pompey supporters are the worst going. Being called a scummer to your face all the time is not nice. My daughter went to school in Portsmouth and the kids were vile to her, you should read her school blog on the internet, it tugs at the heart strings. So I think I've earnt the right to have a small go back you plank.

Kelvin Davis is a brilliant keeper. I'd be happy to see him in the england squad. He is even great at saving penalties. I don't care who the manager is as long as he's a MAN that won't take **** from the team like England's Capallo. We need men in this squad not a group of girls. The only man we have is the keeper and i think he's awesome.
