I hope Hughes get`s the job , that`s them fucked. Just one spot left now. Southamptons squad is arguably much better suited to what Hughes wants to play. I could see him keeping them up quite comfortably. Hughes had made it hard for himself here in the end, although it would have been interesting to see how we would have lined up with the signings we made in January under Hughes. Their fixtures are nasty. I'd be a bit surprised if Hughes, or anyone else, could save them. Only 3 home games left - and only one of those looks winnable. west ham arsenal CHELSEA leicester BOURNEMOUTH everton swansea MAN CITY

Where did that come from ? Ive seen 7/1 on oddschecker. Think Hughes would do well there statistically we have now got worse since he left worse goal,difference and less points from corresponding fixtures . He is a proven premier league manager , we are hardly in a position to mock others managerial choices . It's pretty clear Hughes was going to take Stoke down. So why the fuck Soton would choose him at this time is beyond me.

Perhaps eighteen months, extendable IF he keeps them up this season

They seem happy with Hughes, and fuck me, i feel for them. The guy is an oxygen thief.

he's inheriting a better squad than he left here, might do alright with someone elses players, just don't keep him long enough to fuck the squad up.

Managers have a shelf life and its certainly no more than 3/4 years, look at the top managers and how long they stay. I think it was Pep who said after a couple of years players need a new face on the training pitch. Lets not forget the job Hughes did in the first 2 years and how quickly he changed the style of play from 'Pulis ball'. He just should have gone last summer.

He is a proven premier league manager , we are hardly in a position to mock others managerial choices . If you can watch our team play and say we're worse now than under Hughes then i'm utterly mystified. We're conceding far less per game and scoring basically the same amount. A reminder, that our last games against top 4 sides finished 3-0,5-0, 3-0 and 5-1. We have a small chance of staying up now. We had absolutely no chance with Hughes. Whinges got better results more point for now the same games and our goal difference has now deteriorated under lambert because we can’t score . I don’t disagree we were doomed but that’s not all about Hughes what’s happening is merely proving no one could save this shower created by under investment and incompetence which were not by any means the sole preserve Hughes and co , ask a top chef to bake a cake and then tell hi him he has an egg white , no yolk. No milk and no sugar and see the result

Probably something to do with modern players and how quickly they get bored.

No milk and no sugar and see the result The improvement our defence has made since Lambert came in shows full well that we don't have a squad that should be going down. At least not defensively. Our goal difference has gone down by 1 under lambert, I'm not sure that shows anything at all. It is all about Hughes. A striker in January and better investment in summer would've helped, but with a decent manager we wouldn't be where we are.

They should have stuck with Puel. 8th placed finish, a cup final they should have won and he's doing well at Leicester. All with no previous experience in England. They're Southampton FFS

Savage is clueless. Along with his welsh mate. How on earth Hughes gets a premier league job after what hes turned us into is beyond me.

I think they are at the very least as likely to go down as we are (irrespective of who their manager is) because their fixtures are even worse than ours.
West Ham v Saints is an insanely huge game. We need to beat Everton anyway however if we do that piles the pressure on those two clubs all the more.

He's had seven games and picked up seven points. If you go back over the season we've picked up more or less the same number of points in every seven games we've played. Lambert simply had to do something about the defence. It might not be what everyone wants to see but needs absolutely must. A clean sheet gives us a chance of getting a result and that's his priority. We took the lead at both Bournemouth and Leicester and and should really have come away with more than the one point we accrued in those fixtures. You're like a broken record with your tired agenda. These are the same players that Hughes had and Lambert has been able to organise them not to go out and get hammered every time we play. And what the hell has underinvestment go to do with a Premier League team embarrassing themselves at Coventry? The man you're defending here has brought £50M worth of players to this club who are nowhere near the first team squad.

Hughes will have more chance of being successful with an inherited squad as he did with us.
It when he starts buying players, thats the problem.....but that's of little help to us in our situation now.
MH will be extremely motivated to keep them up at our expense

This is what pisses me off. Hughes is coming off a calamitous 2 years at Stoke, where he basically ruined our squad and confidence, turning us into whipping boys.
If someone in another job had a similar abortion on his CV, he would be worried about finding work again. Football is like the fucking Twilight Zone at the moment.
Hope he ruins them, too.

Ironic that he will inherit a Southampton team filled with half the players he wanted to sign at Stoke but the clueless pygmies we have couldn't get the deals done.
Interesting to see how he goes, hopefully it will be badly and we can finish above them.
