https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/martin-appointed-mens-first-team-manager Can get on with telling us about Duff now before the day is out.
No shock and horror. Players managers offered huge wages elsewhere. This is life following BFC , its always been like this. Not renewed season ticket since 2019 . Doesn't fill you with inspiration to renew. Plenty of good coaches out there. I did think Duffy was here for the long term as he pointed out. However back to reality ,money talks.
Always knew Duff would be poached. Nowt against him but you don't take the job and leave your family in the Cotswolds if you want to be shoveling coal for a living.
Be interesting to see how it works out at Swansea for Duff as going from a style of football that was all about possession and playing out from the back to a team that will be happy to let the other team have the majority of possession. Considering the championship is going to be a much tougher league to implement compared to playing it at league one level.
If we knew how to use the ball we wouldn't have been out on our feet at the end of the Play-Off Final.
It’s almost the complete opposite direction to what we did after Val. The one thing that Duff and Swansea have going for them though, is that unlike the coaches we appointed at that time, Duff is competent.
If he's not top 8 by Xmas, they'll bin him. He might get lucky as, Bristol City will probably be getting rid of Pearson around the same time.
Fanny thread mk2. Let’s see if they can take this one to 40 pages of non stop, unsubstantiated crap..?
