Chairman: Speculation Not Helping

Former boss Glenn Hoddle has been rumoured to be interested in making a return to St. Marys but the Saints chairman said no decision as been made on who will succeed Strachan and that speculation on who will take-over as manager is hampering their search.

"No decision has been made about a new manager," he told BBC Sport.

"We are keeping our options open and will name a new manager when it is right for us.

"Newspaper speculation is not helping our search for a new manager."
