I’m sure he’ll stay at the club in some capacityNow there's a title thread I never thought I'd see.
To think he was an up and coming former academy player at the start of Poch's tenure. Football really is a funny, funny game.
He won't stay beyond the summer but wish him the best of luck. Has had a very tough time of it and seems a top bloke so hope he does okay.
Always liked him. He was able to make those smart runs into the box (like Dele used to), wind up players on a yellow card to send them off, he was smart positionally with defensive tasks (him and Bentaleb both). I think I remember him watching U18 games together with Poch, it seemed obvious he would try coaching one day. Hopefully he is studying a lot and keeping up with new tactics, sports science, analytics etc.
It’s only Southampton.Good luck, 90 mins for Legend Status!
He'll fit right in then!couldn't defend from what I recall? nor do I remember many smart attacking runs/goals.
good luck to him, though!
It’s only Southampton.
Managing is a whole different kettle of fish.Seems like a great lad but I’m not a massive fan of Mason picking players from a squad he couldn’t get in as a player a few seasons ago. Weird dynamic.
Can’t imagine it will be for long. Would be amazing to see him beat Pep Guardiola in a cup final in his second ever match as a manager though
