  1. Ralph Hasenhuttl sacked as Southampton manager
Southampton have confirmed that Ralph Hasenhuttl has been sacked.

Saints suffered a 4-1 thrashing by Newcastle on Sunday, putting them into the relegation zone and just two points above bottom of the table Nottingham Forest.

First team coach Ruben Selles will now take charge for the Carabao Cup game against Sheffield Wednesday on Wednesday.
 
Southampton have become one of those Premier League clubs that can only tread water.

Once you've reached the highs of 7th/8th/9th a couple of times, what then?

You're unlikely to challenge the big money but need to keep spending to keep your squad fresh. Unless you've got a cup run, it all becomes a bit stale. Hard to keep fans interested, teams get a bit stale.

See Stoke, Burnley, Sunderland etc... Think its happening to Wolves too.
