If that is the case doesn't it go against SP's intentions to appoint someone who is committed to helping us grow and not someone who sees us as a stepping stone to a better club.

Surely if we take on someone because he didn't get the Southampton job then he's just as likely to be off again when a club with a higher standing gives him the come on

Agreed just wait until the new Manager is holding up a Palace shirt.
And I thought the Saints were so well run that Les Reid's super Manager short list should have had them a Manager by now. ?
Is he not the super DOF ?

Incidentally there doesn't seem to be much chatter in the media (according to News Now) about Southampton's new manager which I find rather odd

Journo on Talksport this morning said Pellegrino was in advance talks with Saints.

Case of watch this space I suppose.

Everything I read says de Boer is suited to Southampton but because Pellegrino is Argentinian like Pochettino they want him instead. That is the main reason. Very odd.

We're both going to end up with someone not best suited or suited best to the other club.

Journo on talksh!te this morning lined up Peter Schmeichel to say that there was a G2-spectrum main sequence star up Mark C******burg's arse so I would take their journalism with a pinch of salt too.

Last Ranieri story I read said in the headline that they 'landed' him (or a word like that) but the body of it said he was 'set to' sign. Journalistic gimpery.

The official site says the following:

"I arrived with great enthusiasm"

Just signed up with FC Nantes, Claudio Ranieri has given his first impressions, in French!

How do you feel about joining the Yellow House?
I am very happy to become the coach of Nantes. It is a very well known team, all over the world. I met President Waldemar Kita, who was very enthusiastic. There are many good young players in the club. I am confident that we will have a good championship.

How did the discussions with the President go?
The discussions were very good with President Kita. I appreciated his enthusiasm. I know the Nantes team well. The fact that this team has progressed from last place to 7th shows there is quality in the players. I am used to working hard to get results.

Nantes fans are waiting for you. Do you have a message for them?
Yes. Together we must work to get results. I'm counting on the fans. I am very enthusiastic and I know we will need all the supporters to do a good job.

When will you arrive at La Joneliere?
I still have to discuss it with the President, but I think I will arrive for the resumption on June 26

I'd say that's a done deal.

I'm not saying that we haven't, although the actual article doesn't mention offering FDB the role. Only the headline does. Not sure how factually correct this really is. I'd still say it is guess work.

SkyBet now offering 1/10 on Frank de Boer.

Those are the worst odds I've seen since the manager search began!

Crystal Palace have offered Frank de Boer the manager’s job at Selhurst Park.

Argentine Mauricio Pellegrino had also been linked with the Eagles position, but Palace officials believe he is heading to Southampton to replace Claude Puel.


Former Ajax coach De Boer has been out of work since being sacked by Inter last year.

Should the Dutchman take charge of the south London club, he will become their third manager in the last 12 months.

More to follow....

We'll be bringing you the very latest updates, pictures and video on this breaking news story.
