He’s crap.
Ralph Hasenhüttl
- Thread starter bond19821982
- Start date
Really? Why is Ralph the only man around that can do a job at Southampton?
They're a candidate to go down at some point regardless, that's the level of club they are. They'll either be plucky underdogs that punch above their weight, or they'll have a shocker at some point.
6 other managers have kept them up for the last 10 years.
They should bring back Nigel Adkins and close the "no one else could do a better job" loop
He knows how to coach a team to press but has nothing else about him other than that. A bit like Rangnick.
Does feel like they should have found a new guy this past summer.
He has been dealt shit cards there is no investment in this club, he has been doing a great job with what he has been given.
Two pals and I drew up three-man list of first sackings this season: he was top of mine! Not going to reveal number two as it now looks more than a little silly!
Yep. A true driving glove wearing, 9-0 losing, cry over Klopp-Rangnick disciple.
He's a good coach who has consistently been fecked over by the board who have basically attempted to asset strip the team in past seasons.
The funny thing is that I actually quite liked their transfer activity this summer: trying to pick up quality underage players (mainly from Citeh) like a PL Dortmund. It would have worked well if a side like West Ham had employed it because they already have a good core of a team to "absorb" the inexperience and inconsistencies of youth. However, pitching youngsters into a team with JWP (who himself is overrated) and absolutely nothing else worthwhile in it may not pay off regardless of who is in charge.

Ole next for them then!
Surprised they didn’t change in the summer.
About time.
Cue worldwide celebrations, the beginning of a new era of prosperity, and an end to all global conflict.

He has done a pretty good job with them. Seems a decent chap too
But yeah you could see they were probably due a change

has he? 16th, 11th, 15th, 15th, 16th and now sitting 16th again.
We had one of the worst PL seasons imaginable last year and still finished only a point behind them. The narrative that they don’t spend money is weird too.
only one season under him do they have a positive net spend and in his first two years they spend 60m+. This year particularly they have spent 70m and have received nothing for players.
Look at their league finishes. He did a crap job overall.
Been average will be interesting to see who they replace. Lopetegui supposedly of interest from Wolves there could be a few in the league after him.
A final 9-0 before he goes?
Its a weird one. As people say, some of his final league positions are shocking but always felt like when his teams were playing well they were brilliant.
If you ever need the football definition of "flatters to deceive" then Hassenhuttl is it.
Yeah it's an interesting one - like without checking the data even i would have just thought/assumed his league finishes were higher than those listed, which isn't that great at all.
Then I also hold this perception that he's done well in terms of "what he's been allowed to spend" - which you're sort of debunking. His spend/net spend would be interesting over his tenure, compared to the other clubs.
Poch in?
Gone too soon
(HE HASN'T DIED) the sacking of Ralph Hasenhüttl (HE'S HASN'T DIED)
I'm shocked they didn't wait until they play us next. Seems to be the in thing to do
Poor decision. Great manager in my opinion
Sometimes it feels like clubs are just hiring for the new manager bounce. Very few coaches seem to last long.
I also checked to see who we were playing next week in case it was them and they snagged Zidane or some shit.
Was always gonna happen at some point but ultimately I think they'll regret it. Despite the occasional spankings he kept that dreadful squad overperforming for years. Unless they start spending I don't see them in the Prem in two years time.
Relegation threatened clubs with shit squads should snatch him up immediately if they get the opportunity. Definitely a good manager to keep teams playing above their expectations.

Agree with this. They have a shocking squad and I think he has done well to keep them competitive.
If they get the appointment wrong, they will go down, because they are certainly bottom three in terms of quality.
Away to scousecnuts.com next Saturday.
New manager bounce!
New manager bounce!
Been coming a while. Thankfully we got to play them this season already.
I wonder if he’ll cry now?
More scalps for the Saudis.
Will be interesting to see if they manage to stay up.
