Mark Wotte
FOR Mark Wotte the head coach’s job at Saints had been a long time coming.
It was back in 2005 that he was the preferred choice of Clive Woodward, then still at Saints, to take over at St Mary’s and start to put into place the structures that have now been laid down.
But once news of the probable appointment got out, there was something of a backlash from the supporters.
The board bowed to fans’ calls and opted for a manager with British experience in the shape of George Burley.
That appointment was warmly greeted amongst the Saints faithful at the time, but little attention was paid to what happened to the man overlooked for the role.
