    Official: Mark Hughes is named Saints boss until the end of the season

    Love it how the media/public relations think we're all idiots. "I've got real affinity". Come on!! Seriously? He spent two seasons here where he played like ****e, was the highest paid player (perhaps with the exception of MLT) on the books. One worldie, and one tap in that he tried his best...

    Next manager

    Here’s the thing. Hughes will want the job long-term and for me that is not a good appointment as I think EVEN if he did save us, I think we’d be back in a battle next year. I’d rather Hoddle took it for 8 games and then get someone appropriate when we know where we are. For me Hughes is...

    Next manager

    He might have been a realistic target but not right now. Bournemouth staying up and have a good attacking team. We are staring relegation in the face and if we go down then the resources argument isn't true at all as parachute is nothing like Prem TV money. Getting back out of the...

    Yeah I do and I'd be very worried about "Agent Arry" doing the same again. That said if you look at credentials of available personnel at this point he's probably best qualified to do the job. That's all I'm saying. For me I think if Pompey isn't still his "Spiritual Home" that he could have...

    I think we're all aware that the shortlist that we could have now is a lot worse than it would have been in the summer or summer before. Realistcally we are staring relegation in the face and have declined hugely, so not really sure what you're expecting...? Be interested to hear some...

    So sounds like Hughes is the guy. Had actually heard this pretty much as soon as he got the sack at Stoke. Not happy with that as an appointment long-term, but ultimately we need someone to steer us away from danger; which I think is going to be very tricky now. I been hearing all day that...

    Transfer Rumours January 2018 Transfer Window

    So we have our Transfer News thread detailing links in the papers and I think a few people have chucked their own thoughts in there too, but I thought it'd be fun to have a thread to see fans thoughts on who our targets should be. I have never been one for thinking that we should spend big...

    Transfer Rumours The Summer Transfer Rumour Thread 2016

    Being a football fan and particularly one of Saints is so frustrating sometimes. I read someone's comments further up the thread about what might have been with a lack of injuries ie emulating what Leicester have done. I've been saying this for a while but more than focussing on the injuries...

    Transfer deadline day

    Any chance of a third in for us alongside Alderweireld and Mane...? Koeman was only saying the other day that Gaston is a creative spark for us.

    Gaston

    Cant see him getting much game time this season tbh - He's had two years now and not done it. I think if we could offload we would, even on loan. Lots in front of him in central positions, and would suggest that tadic, ward-prowse and davis would be more fancied out wide, plus we're looking for...

    Article: Liverpool v Saints match thread | Southampton, Football

    Last season we seemed to be very good at keeping possession but not necessarily using it well in the final third. So far today, giving possession away far too easily.

    Unfortunately think Bert is the only one of our defenders who does look ok atm.
