[Football] Southampton sack Hughes

[Ernest]

Where will Hughes fail next

He's bound to get another job by the end of the season somewhere

Looks like they are being strongly linked with Ralph Hasenhüttl, the man who took RB Leipzig from 2nd div strugglers to Bundesliga runners up in 2 years.

On the face of it, that could well be a very bad appointment for the rest of us.

RB Leipzig are detested in Germany. Their budget is obscene and it would have been difficult not to be successful.

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

What is the game coming to when teams see Allardyce as the saviour when their club's in trouble. Is that
the best that this game can offer? Bleeding tragic as is the lack of loyalty these days.

Maybe Dave Bassett can dust off his tracksuit.

SSN reporting that Ralph has agreed to take the job. He may be a wundercoach but with no EPL experience, a big gamble given their precariousness.

Happy with that!

But isn't that the attitude that has led to the tedious managerial merry go round featuring various shithouse usual suspects?

The idea that he can't do the job because he hasn't worked in the EPL feels like a silly argument to me. I think he probably could you know. If only there were successful Bundesliga managers who have come over and been reasonably successful here eh?

Ralph Hasenhuttl is favourite apparently... no I don't know either.

Not heard of him but I’d assume Hasenhuttl is the German version of Hasselhoff.

Their academy has stopped turning out superstars which hasn’t helped, also their owner/benefactor died (a while back) which caused upheaval. Both of these things have contributed I guess.

Selling your best players ( usually to Liverpool) season on season is a recipe for relegation. You can get away with it for one or two seasons, but, then it will catch up with you.

Liverpool will be looking for a new feeder club now.

I think that's easy to say when it's not our team who are in the relegation zone! I am not saying he won't succeed, just that it looks like a big gamble. Klopp was proven at Dortmund and has done ok at Liverpool (but not won the League which would have been his brief). Wagner came in to a lower mid-table Championship team and has had amazing results, sure. But it's quite a different proposition coming in to a team in Saints position. I think they will be ok - they have a lot of talented players and there are 4 teams odds-on to drop.

Makes me realise how lucky we are without a trigger-happy owner and sensible board.

We are without a sensible board?

It's only a different proposition if you believe Southampton are in a genuine position.

FWIW (fook all) I'd take any person over Hughes as Saints manager, therefore Saints will be better.
Quite how anyone can dismiss an 'unknown' German to replace Hughes is beyond me.

 

[Albion Prem]

What a choice!

Looks like it is time for Gus to reappear in the Premier league

 

[Sirnormangall]

Pardew or allerdyce in

Please let it be Pardew.

If there's truth in this it sounds like a less short-termist and less safe appointment than I was expecting. It might work out or not, the only thing I would say is that Southampton should have enough about them to have a good punt of getting out of trouble. They've got some decent players and all that's needed is someone with the mentality to get them over the finish line in matches

Like Sami Hyypia you mean?

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Plus the fact that the Southampton fans all detest him, of course.

Was it not he who actually took Saints down from the Premier league in the first place, having previously been at Portsmouth...…

…….. this resulting in the message being seen scrawled in the mud on the back of a white van in Portsmouth: "Come home agent Redknapp. Your work is done".
