SAFC1 Posted 3 December 2018 Posted 3 December 2018 If Southampton appoint Allardyce they’ll stay up easily.
Simoken Posted 3 December 2018 Posted 3 December 2018 SFC is a clear case of bad ownership and management decisions. It must really burn to see Puel doing an alright job at LCFC and beating them/knocking them out. Sad considering how they were a few seasons ago with VD/Sane etc they were bloody dangerous and were getting close to top 4 spot at one point. How did it all go so wrong? Thankgod we have a solid ownership with a vision to build upon. Than treating a club as a Horse breeding establishment and sell off when they are ready to be sold for £££££££ amounts.
irishfoxkev Posted 3 December 2018 Posted 3 December 2018 Sky Sports Sources suggesting big Nige and Craig Shakespeare both interested in talking to Southampton...

irishfoxkev Posted 3 December 2018 Posted 3 December 2018 They just reported as breaking news that Nigel was interested then spewed our Shakeys name almost like an add on...Wouldn’t be surprised if they throw Steve Walsh’s name out there before long...Just have it on in the background as I find most of what they pontificate about very irritating ?

davieG Posted 3 December 2018 Posted 3 December 2018 "And gone back into management at Southampton – somewhere I could see myself staying for a long while".
kingcarr21 Posted 3 December 2018 Posted 3 December 2018 Will that finally be the end of Mark Hughes as a premier league manager? Never understood how he kept getting Prem jobs.
Fox in the North Posted 3 December 2018 Posted 3 December 2018 The southampton fans seem to think it’s Ralph Hasenhuttl, the former manager of RB Leipzig. Think he left them at the end of the season.

foxes_rule1978 Posted 3 December 2018 Posted 3 December 2018 For those that want Puel out, look at Southampton...

Southampton's decline is much bigger than whether or not Puel was at the club. They have an owner with little interest in football, not really investing a great deal and replacing Puel with one of the worst managers in the league. I mean, if you'd said "for those of you that want Puel out, Top to stop investing and Leicester to hire Alan Pardew" then you might have something comparable, although I suspect you'd be talking to a very small, niche group. I get that the grass isn't always greener, mind, and we could definitely do much worse than Puel.

Problem is they've bought a load of dross to replace very good players.

They've spent what they've had in from the likes of Van Dyjk but since their old chairman died and his daughter took over, there's been no real interest from their owners in taking the club forward

Staffs Fox Posted 3 December 2018 Posted 3 December 2018 Granted this is mainly to Liverpool but you look at the below team of players they've sold in the past 4 years and its no wonder they're in trouble; this would be a top 6 team Gazzaniga Clyne Van Dijk Lovren Shaw Wanyama Schneiderlin Mane Lallana Tadic Pelle Their recruitment to replace these players has been poor also Carrillo £19m (now on loan), Gunn for £12m when they already have McCarthy and Forster, Bouffal £16m (also on loan) etc
ealingfox Posted 3 December 2018 Posted 3 December 2018 To be fair the message from most of their fans has been pretty consistent in that they don't regret that Puel was binned, they regret the horrific appointments that followed.
