Glad I gave up my season ticket. This has disaster written all over it
Oh no another meltdown !!Just like the last 2 seasons. Oh hang on , we actually had 2 very good seasons.
Typical Saints fan not giving any time to people we have never seen or heard of.
Perhaps it's good you have given your ticket up !
Decent cv, makes all the right noises. Doesn't matter who he is, he's got my full support and based on their choices so far you have to put full faith in Sir Les and the team. We're one of the best clubs at unearthing talent, and that's why we get raided so much - none of the big teams seem to be able to recruit beyond smaller teams like us. It's OK, we make a fortune!

Would it not be better for all concerned if we just bought your entire scouting set up? Cut out the middle man and save everyone a lot of time and money.
Far better for us to fleece you every year SaintsPaul said:

Last two appointments made sense, particularly Koeman. I get that there were issues with Koeman, and other candidates were not able to fit in with the Saints philosophy, which is fine, but I do not get a warm feeling about this.Just like the last 2 seasons.

Yes ill be behind him, but fear he will be gone by Xmas.
Happy to come back then and eat some humble pie 😊
I swear that football clubs can't win. They spend months deciding on the right fit for the club and then people moan that it's not a "big name". They appoint a big, ambitious name and people moan that they aren't loyal.
I know that Lyon are one of the great overachievers of world football and that they run on a similarly analytical, holistic (horrible word!) way to Saints. I think that after the last few appointments (none of which have done anything wrong really) I'd trust the club to have gone for the most appropriate appointment this time round.
Thought a bit of positivity wouldn't go amiss

Indeed. This seems another well thought out appointment, unlike just giving the job to the 2nd-in-command like in the days of Wigley and Gray.
Of course it is no guarantee of success but I'm in a positive mode and hopefully we can sign some obscure French gems before the start of the season and see some of our youngsters break into the 1st Team as the season progresses.

I'll reserve judgement on this until the season is underway, however, seeing a lot of our transfer targets are either has-beens, nobodys or from clubs recently relegated, it doesn't fill me with confidence...
As for Eric Black as Puel's right hand man...
I know Pochettino was an unknown quantity when he came to us, as Puel is now, but we were a fair bit lower down the rankings at that time. Our aspirations should be a lot higher now and this pre-season is not showing it so far...
I really hope I'm wrong but I think we could struggle this season.
