Ralph Hasenhüttl and Southampton

[BigSteve]

Fair play to Hasenhüttl and Southampton. He's managed to turn it around and Southampton stuck by him after the 9-0 hiding at St. Mary's to Leicester.

Even after the 9-0 match they lost the next three. He then ditched the three-man defence in favour of the high-energy 4-2-2-2 formation that served him so well in guiding RB Leipzig to second place in their debut Bundesliga, and results have turned for the better.

Drew with Arsenal, beat Watford, Norwich then lost to Newcastle and West Ham.

On a run of 5/6 wins (includes beating Chelsea, Totttenham and Leicester away in the reserve league match).

Currently 2-0 up against Wolves.

That is an incredible turn around to be fair

 

[Rockathon]

If he keeps them up he's a hero. if not, sacked.

Sadly, I think you are 100% correct.

 

[Pacman]

Bold decision to keep him, glad its working out

 

[gavman]

Great manager and you can see the team growing in stature the longer he's with them. Be interesting to see Southampton back him big time in the summer

 

[Howard Carter]

Thought he was a gonner after the Leicester game. Fair play to the board for sticking by him.

 

[jtc]

Even though he's Austrian?

They have close links though.

 

[macjohn212]

Let's see if he can keep it up , certainly a great turnaround

 

[jtc]

NES has made an exciting Wolves team to watch these last few seasons. 6th - level on points with a parody Man Utd team and now 5pts behind Chelsea for 4th. Exciting times just now if your a wolves fan

I went v spurs before Christmas.live near Wolverhamptin even though I'm a blues fan.to say they are good when they click is a understatement. they lost through a daft late goal but were suoerb

They have close links though.

So do the Scots and English mate

We do indeed mate Thank the Lord.Last Austrian to get the top job in Germany caused a bit of mither iirc. I know Gordon Brown ain't everyone's cup of tea but he was peaceful in compareson

 

[Broughtonloyal]

His next move will be very interesting.

 

[whatwasthecry-aucune]

Looks like he is a decent manager and has turned things around really well.

[West with the Night]

I thought he was a certainty to be sacked. Great they have turned it round a bit more loyalty in football sometimes pays off. Far too many sacked too soon nowadays.

 

[Hallers]

Fair play to Southampton for sticking with him after that shocking result

 

[coolk]

Just shows you that having patience can be rewarded.

 

[adamcs]

I was sure he was a goner after the Leicester result. Southampton fan I work with says a lot of the fans were, and continue to be, behind him.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Currently 2-0 at Selhurst Park, moves them into 10th.

 

[Hexham Blue]

Good for the Southampton board for sticking with it. He’s done a tremendous job lifting the team that took a hiding.

 

[hippo94735]

lets hope this goes better for them that saturday

 

[Kellybrooksjugs]

Not many managers survive a 9 nil doing at home!

 

[Scott4ll]

Doing a great job at Southampton.

 

[Seaside Blue]

I like the big fella. Hope he does well. He’s certainly improved them.
