Honestly if they feel this is the long term solution the time to try and be cheap skates is not now and not with the manager. Sell some more dross in Jan to cover his cost. Whilst purely speculative i see high potential upside in Rohl as did the world class managers who picked him to join them, world class club that he worked for (not us) and national team (ok its only germany). The fact he has taken all that, landed in more of a crazy club than ours, kept them up when they were bottom and now this season got Weds up to 9th on a shoestring buget whilst significantly improving a player we know (charles or maybe he just plays him in the right role) are all positive points for me. I'd be excited with this recruitment and I would assume he has a good network as well across those germany teams to hopefully also get us some bargains etc.

I know we jest but after checking the record you have the JK Rowling approach to factual writing

This is purely agent planted story to try and create leverage in negotiations with the owners by putting pressure on them about "losing him" as well.

This is true but like any useful idiot I am sure the worlds largest bookmaker (flutter entertainment) places stories across the press to manage risk.

Yeah I dont think they are. We've gone from the following under their guidance and i think Rasmus's input maybe a little bit tarnish with Dragan. High Press - ralph Long ball - best manager in europe High Press - Selles Posession - Lego

you are going to need to change your avatar now bro. If its Rohl can I suggest, same high hair and germans love walking in the woods on weekends

He also got fired in the 1 non danish club he has managed at Mainz after winning 5 games in 24.

Good question and I have given it some thought: Him parking in the disabled bay at the supermarket as he's run out of hob knobs for his tea and has to get back. Cutting in in a traffic jam and not thanking the driver as he is too important to ackowledge us peasants. Wearing green or red trousers. Shortening everyones name into nicknames - stevo, arma etc My line in the sand though is Not doing fist pumps after we get battered away from home and win due to an own goal.

knows more about us due to THB marrying his daughter. I think we have the makings of a rumour

Yeah saw that and saw he's managed at some big clubs before and seems to average 1.5 PTS per game. What's your view on him ? I suppose proof will be over the next couple of months but if he gets you winning you can build up momentum and promotion could still be possible 🙏

The best thing about all this is I have now got my optimism back. Everything is possible until saints prove otherwise.

also only foreign club coaching was at mainz where he was sacked

welcome back V man

At this time of year you've got to go for Jesus Jorge Jesus at Al Ahli

Xai's answer - interesting that is also picked out Matos, will check out this Stephan guy as well One's in green are ones we could get, expect the rest would either reject or their clubs wont let them leave mid season while they are in the hunt for promotion. David Moyes: His extensive experience in the Premier League makes him an appealing choice for a team in immediate danger of relegation. His pragmatic approach could be beneficial for Southampton's current situation. Michael Carrick: Currently at Middlesbrough, Carrick has shown promise in the Championship. If Southampton could secure his services, his tactical acumen and ability to implement an attractive style of play might be what they need to survive, despite the challenge of mid-season integration. Carlos Corberan: Known for his work at West Bromwich Albion and previously at Huddersfield Town, Corberan has a reputation for tactical flexibility and improving teams. His experience could help Southampton navigate the remainder of the season. Graham Potter: Although less likely due to his recent high-profile role at Chelsea and his current status as a free agent, Potter's philosophy and track record with Brighton suggest he could bring a fresh approach to Southampton's survival bid. However, his availability and willingness to take on a relegation fight are uncertain. Danny Rohl: With connections to Southampton as Ralph Hasenhuttl's former assistant, Rohl's work at Sheffield Wednesday has shown promise. His familiarity with the club and the league might make him an interesting choice, though his experience as a head coach is still developing. Mark Robins: His success with Coventry City in the Championship suggests he could adapt to the challenges of the Premier League. His teams are known for being well-organized and hard to beat, which are traits Southampton desperately need. Julien Stephan and Vasco Matos: These are less known names in England but have been mentioned as potential candidates. Both are relatively inexperienced at the top level but have shown promise in France and Portugal, respectively, indicating Southampton might consider a long-term project with a younger manager if they're planning for beyond this season.

2 out of 3 managers sacked across the clubs over the last couple of weeks, good job the gozteppe manager is doing a good job

Great appointment and rusk in time.

I could see the club going for someone like rohl. Worked here before, also at bayern and national team etc and doing ok with weds who were even more of a basket case than us, knows the championship and even relegated we would be a step up. Saw someone to X say he had admirers in the boardroom but we were likely to go more foreign next which in that case i like the look of the santa clara manager vasco matos who currently sit 4th in the league, likes to have a tight defence and nick goals https://totalfootballanalysis.com/head-coach-analysis/vasco-matos-santa-clara-202425-tactical-analysis-tactics

Not watching the game as watching a cartoon movie about a bull from Spain but fucking hell, Martin has to go now.

Any game another prediction

if it isnt broken, tug it is rasmus's new expression

To be honest the interim manager seems reasonable and makes fair points. Players generally get an easier time than the manager when you see players week after week not thinking clearly under pressure and making mistakes. I think its time to blame the players a bit more now.

wow not looking good for VAFC after last night, now closer to the bottom than the top of the league. There clearly needs to be a step change there, either: Get rid of chorley and get a better DOF to get more out of this team and a new manager or invest some money and buy some players who will make the difference in the 2nd half of the season. I agree that SR have a chaotic style of manager replacement, why not use the 3 week window or in our case international breaks to give a new manager a bit of time.
