...being a Southampton fan. Just when we survive relegation to League One and look forward to consolidation under Nigel Pearson, returning Chairman Rupert Lowe flexes his muscles and removes Pearson after barely three months - supposedly for financial reasons - and replaces him with the "Double Dutch" team of Jan Poortvliet and Mark Wotte. However, it has since emerged that Poortvliet has only signed a pre-contract agreement with Saints and is still contracted to Helmond.
Today, the Managing Director of Poortvliet's present club - Dutch Second Division Helmond Sport - said "I clearly told everyone the week before that [we] would not co-operate in any transfer of our coach. I told Jan he has a contract and we keep him to that contract. According to me, Jan now has two contracts. That is his problem. I have nothing to solve. If he wants to get rid of the contract with us, he must come into action." (Football365)
So who will our tenth manager of the millennium be? There is growing doubt whether Jan's the man.
