Responding to speculation that he is planning to bring Plymouth's John Blackley and Kevin Summerfield to St Mary's, he reportedly said:
"The chairman and I need to look at the coaching staff and the personnel for next year. There are things we will mull over. I want to assure the fans that we are not sitting on our hands at this minute in time. But I can't comment until I have debated with the chairman. Nothing has happened as far as the coaching staff is concerned."
