Why is there talk of a temporary manager? We are a few games into the season! We want a decent permanent manager. Why would you give up on this season already?

Let's be honest -all of these random Germans are going to be another risky appointment. If it doesn't get much better this could get nasty because there won't be a lot of leeway with fans.

Had a quick look at some German names and a few of these look like they might interest spors: Enrico maaben Hannes wolf Alexander blessin Bo svensson Tim Walter

Call me mystic Meg! Johannes Spors is leading Southampton's manager search and is believed to be looking towards Germany for preferred options –– Ralph Hasenhuttl is not one of them Unless it's Marco rose it's probably going to be some clever twatty appointment that no one will be happy with rather than someone with championship or English league experience.

I did neither of those things. All I'm saying is that in my opinion sitting on the bench at Everton, getting criticism from their fans and hearing noises from people who know him that he isn't happy makes me believe that leaving at this point of his career was the wrong move. Of course he may burst through in the next few months and prove me wrong but that isn't looking likely at the moment.

Didn't do Lallana any harm when we got relegated to league one. In fact I believe he said it was the making of him.

Not playing though is he. Look how much Lallana developed when we went down to league one. You can train with the best in the world but it's not going to replicate a game environment.

Yep. I reckon it will be a foreigner and probably someone from Germany.

I don't want Martin back at all but is Azaz a high press player? Fellows?

Hmm. That doesn't sound good. In fact it sounds quite a lot like will still!

Nobody heard of Rusk or Selles before either. Ridiculous idea.

Realistically he's getting two games. I doubt Romeu will get more than ten minutes off the bench on Saturday.

Oh god I completely dismissed the possibility of it being Martin. If this actually does happen I don't think I can take it mentally. The sight of him fucking up at Rangers filled my heart with joy. The moment he's back and the first time I see Stephens lose the ball in our own six yard box and concede I'm going to die inside.

Wasn't it reported that Ralph wasn't great at the man management?

The job is obviously one of the top jobs outside of the Prem. Decent payers in paper but poorly managed and with a few tweaks should be able to climb the table. Will look decent by comparison if the manager does even an OK job. Many managers will be interested in that even if the owners are interfering asshole (lots of clubs have that.)

4 at the back sports Republic aren't going to like that.

Good I hope he plays ok. Whatever happens if he gets on the pitch I can actually enjoy rooting for a Saints player again other than Scienza.

Tyler Dibling is an idiot. I'm not saying he would have improved much here after this shit show of the past few weeks but for the sake of his own development he really should have given it another season. I'm glad we sold him though.

Fair play this actually made me burst out laughing.

You didn't want Romeu or jwp back tbf. You didn't think they were needed.

I'd rather have Martin back than Southgate. That's how little I think of Sir Gareth.

Where is this Ralph rumour coming from? I've seen nothing to suggest it's likely other than the fact he was at one of our games.

I know I was just agreeing with your point about still not having a clie

Did he ever finish his Southampton playbook?

Almost certainly it was us back in September who the players had said they weren't happy with the manager. I think Still was just a bit clueless tactically.
