They paid big in the summer but signed unproven talent, not even players from other leagues but think gave City about 50 million for 3 kids They have been a selling club and he has probably overachieved by keeping them up for 3/4 seasons to be fair the best of those 3 has been lavia whose been injured for weeks. they've not been the same since he's been out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has turned 28 so would again be a signing with no potential upsale. not seen much of them this season but saints fans say he's been utter cack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Ralph's not a bad manager. Just time catching up with Southampton I feel. Its an achievement for a selling club to stay in the league every season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats them relegated if they appoint him. Just had a look at a Southampton forum, and they are not happy. Pretty much guaranteed relegation now. Us getting Emery is absolutely huge in comparison, even Wolves getting Lopetegui is a far more exciting appointment. I'd be devastated if I was a Southampton fan. We should put a cheeky bid in for Ward-Prowse in January. Edited November 7, 2022 by duke313 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didnt replace Ings properly, Romeu I think left and needed to rebuild a solid spine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWP i think has gine back wards since he rejected us and signed new deal. Bet he is kicking himself a bit now As for jones its awful appointment jones hasnt really done anything to warrant a job like Southampton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Dogg Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Isn't Nathan Jones a real old school manager? Big man upfront, keep it tight at the back type? I was thinking recently, there's almost none of them left, definitely not in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Agree with the comments here, very similar parallels to our investment starting years before we went down. At least they have a professional squad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their signings in the summer were if anything a conscious effort to get some re-sellable assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 They’re recruitment and academy used to be so good, the last crop of academy graduates in JWP, Chambers and Shaw are 27-28 then the likes of Lallana, Bale, Wallcot, Ox and so in in early 30’s what have they been doing for the last 7 years?

Since they got promoted they've lost players like Van Dijk, Mane, Hojbjerg, Luke Shaw, Danny Ings, Calum Chambers, Lallana, Lovren (etc). Southampton could put together a team of former players who are still active and they'd probably push for Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of those were sold several seasons ago though, the reality is recently they haven't really been a 'selling club' because they haven't had many players people would want to buy.

useless Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) £4m compensation for Jones. Neil Critchley might come into contention for the Luton job. Edited November 9, 2022 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
