You watch Southampton come out and play with freedom for the first time this season.
Ahhh, didn't know that. Makes sense why it's all gone belly up.Nobody's still at the club from when they had a philosophy, which is an even bigger problem. The Liebherr daughter who took over after her father passed has sold 80% to a Chinese businessman and pretty much all the middle men have left too. They need to rethink the structure of the whole club, not just the manager.
Mark Hughes must be the most overrated manager of all time. I've seen absolutely nothing from him to suggest he deserves jobs in the PL. How he got the Man City job years ago still staggers me.

Well done Hughes. Mugged off yet another Chairman and club and leaves with further millions to fill his ever growing bank account. How can so many normally very astute businessmen lose their collective marbles when then become Chairmen of football clubs ?

Absolutely this, his Blackburn side was good to watch with Bentley, Gamst Pedersen, Santa Cruz, Tugay and more. And he almost got Wales to a tournament at a time where they had a really poor side.From memory he did a good job at Blackburn. I remember a number of his players spoke very highly or his training methods and dedication to fitness.
They lost players and he replaced them well. But he, understandably, started to moan about how they couldn't keep replacing high quality players.
So if memory serves me correctly his first two jobs, Wales and Blackburn,were a relative success.
But since then he took jobs at clubs with money and he didn't know how to spend it. Good mate of mine is a Saints fan and I said to him at the time of his hiring that Hughes was done. I don't think Hughes has any desire to manage a small club that will lose any high quality player they buy or produce and he doesn't have the skilset to manage a topend club.
So it's confirmed now, and just before they face us. Of course.

Complete and total mayhem in the Alan Pardew household.
The phone rings in anticipation of being offered an interview about the Southampton managers job. Then brutal reality as it turns out it was an ambulance chaser asking if he had been in an accident.
If I'd pissed away my best chance of a trophy this season by playing a weakened team because I'm "prioritising survival" while sitting 8th in the league I'd expect to be sacked for unprofessionality and terrible judgement.There rumours that Puel could be about to get the push from Leicester.
Sounds exciting. What is it you do for a living?If I'd pissed away my best chance of a trophy this season by playing a weakened team because I'm "prioritising survival" while sitting 8th in the league I'd expect to be sacked for unprofessionality and terrible judgement.
