Former Hearts boss George Burley has been named new Southampton manager after former Saints boss Harry Redknapp left last month. Sir Clive Woodward has been appointed director of football at the club. Burley who has been out of football since his infamous departure from Scotish Premier League side Hearts and he has been linked with several big named clubs since.
I believe this is a good appointment for The South Coast club. Burley has a good track record and I would think he is dieing to get back into the game after the whole Hearts thingy. I have no idea how long the deal is but I would think it would be around two years or so. Good luck to Burley and the Saints.
