When was the last Saints manager to win in his first game in charge?
Sturrock beat Liverpool I think.
I know Strachan didn't (3-3 draw), Adkins didn't, Poch didn't (0-0), Puel didn't (1-1), MoPe didn't (0-0), Hughes didn't (0-3).
Swansea dropped off a cliff but Hughsie inspired that win against them amidst all their hotel and bus escort shenanigans. Would someone else have been able to do that? Maybe, maybe not. We’ll never know.
New chapter now with Hasenhüttl in. Let’s focus on that.
