Newly promoted teams even with some money behind them don't do this without a good manager in charge...

That is just pathetic. Plus in any case it looks like she has lost a lot of weight recently.

Gao bought the club for pro rata £260m. How many local businessmen can get remotely near that kind of price? Even in the Championship, with the assets it has and the parachute payments the club is worth a lot more than most local businessmen fans can afford.

Lets also be fair to her... when she inherited the club Saints were in League One. She invested a lot more than her father did and helped get the club to the Premier League. Clearly the selling of 80% of the club to Gao to take us to a new level was ********.

That is clearly nonsense.

Go where? Can you see someone buying his 80% of the club?

Why would relegation force him to sell?

I'll post it in every broken record thread.

Also his name is Hasenhüttl

Do you think Hughes or Pellegrino could manage a newly promoted team to 2nd & 6th in the Bundesliga?

A player who broke his leg the day before could be in a squad photo, that on its own doesn't really mean anything.

The accounts do not show that at all! I want him to sell the club, but let's not make **** up!

It is a leap to pin that to one coach.

What evidence is there? I would say we have no evidence he is a good coach and no evidence he is a bad coach. People largely making assumptions.

Can you name one positive attribute he showed in a Premier League game? No pace, poor passing, inability to beat a man. He is out of his depth in the Premier League and doing well vs Scottish Premiership teams doesn't mean he is now good enough.

Some say Ralph Hasenhüttl looks like the Governor from The Walking Dead. St Mary's technical area on Friday... Shame the torrential rain didn't put out the fire!

Which players?

Yes there is! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/10/26/ralph-hasenhuttl-given-southampton-backing-board-decide-players/amp/?sfns=mo

Hasenhuttl was not a cheap option with links to Saints. So why would the DoF be?

' The second line says 'Southampton look to former manager Dave Jones as new sporting director'

He has no future value or room for improvement. I have no problem with Saints signing young players as a policy, the problem is if they aren't any good! Something Saints have got wrong in recent years.
