Who can succeed in still following Southampton Scking?

Whoever the next appointment may be, the Saints have already given plenty of cause for optimism after last week.

They spent significant money on Azaz and co in the summer – two players who at the time were proven at championship level, and are now starting to show signs of kicking on.

Midfielder Shea Charles was very good in the second tier last season while on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, Scienza showed his qualities and Harwood-Bellis and Natan Woods could be the best center in the championship.

While there is undoubted talent throughout the squad, it may take the right coach to not get it.

“While every appointment is a risk, I would like to see the Saints by choosing a manager who gives the English campeiger because of their achievement in the game,” they said to Blackmore.

“If it’s Michael Carkick or Carlos Corberan or whoever becomes available soon, they need to get a guarantee that they will get money for a proven goalscorer in January to give them a shot at the season.

“However, however, Eckert will get the job. If that’s the case, he’d better come to support the board and the Republican austerity better be backing the market to give him a chance.

“If they point to him and find themselves wearing him a few months later, then the ever-prescribed sense of insanity will be all over the place.”
