Appointing Nathan Jones to save your aide from relegation in the prem was one of the worst recent appointments in the prem. It basically told their fans to get ready for the championship lol.
the amount of talent sold and not replaced meant it was only a matter of time before they went down tbh...
Exactly, you can’t keep selling quality players and not replacing them like for like and expect to keep at the same level.
Nathan Jones was fighting a losing battle. No manager in the world would’ve kept us up. Ralph was best placed to…
Should have kept him
I don't agree with this revisionism on Ralph after Nathan Jones' disastrous tenure. At the time Ralph got sacked, he just seemed tired and wasn't able to get a tune out of the players. We had a horrid time for most of 2022, constantly losing and there was no way that we were staying up if Ralph continued. Ralph was getting booed off the pitch in his last few games and many ppl wanted him to get sacked. I think the club really fudged it with the appointment of Jones and, subsequently Selles.
The man who lost a record 9-0 TWICE? Yeah good joke mate
tbf to jones he was better than selles but that ain't hard
Southampton has sold all of their best players. That's why they went down. You can't sell all of your players over the course of many seasons and expect better results.
Brighton would disagree with you .
They are doing an amazing job.
@keiththorpe9551 They haven't had as long of success that Southampton have had. If Brighton keep selling, they will be in a relegation battle eventually.
@@keiththorpe9551 It worked for Southampton for a few seasons but then there was the slow decline over the next 4 seasons.
very similar to Villa in (I think) 2017
You can sell all your best players. You just have to replace them.
Saints sold Lambert, Lallana,, Lovren and shaw in one window. Replaced with Pella, Mane, Long, Tadic Alderweireld, Bertrand. It worked out well.
It was a failure of recruitment / reinvestment over the last 5/6 years that led to relegation.
Ralph was left with a squad lacking goals upfront, weak in defensive midfield once Lavia got injured and an inexperienced goalkeeper from Man city academy.
Saints issues were compounded over 5 years starting with replacing Van Dijk with Hoedt/Vestergaard, Pelle with Charlie Austin/Gabbiadini, Mane with Redmond..not getting the best out of Tadic, and wasting money on dross like Lemina, Elyonoussi, Carillo, Boufal, meaning our hands were tied during the Gao reign then in 22-23 summer transfer window Hassenhuttl despite having spent the most we've ever done couldn't get a tune out of the team (probably also due to the loss of 5 senior members out of the dressing room Long, Romeo, Forster, Bednarek and Stephens)
Tadic was quality for us
Lemina on his day is a baller so I feel like that one was on the manager at the time Pellegrino, I think appointing him was the beginning of the end for Southampton.
You put respect on Charlie Austin’s name. The fella scored 18 goals in a team that got relegated the season before. You lot got him for a fraction of his worth.
Well, there is not a single reason for the relegation, but the discussion here captures the latter stages of the poor management from the leadership team above the manager. The crux of it though is that Ralf was kept on into the season when things had clearly gone stale both in terms of tactics and his relationship with the players. Instead of dispensing with him and instigating a new vision with the benefit of pre-season, the leadership team thought they could band-aid things by hiring a good assistant for Ralf in Reuben Selles and by a huge steroid injection into the recruitment team signing young, but very raw talents. I think ultimately, we lacked a sufficient leader to oversee a change at that point (which we now have in Jason Wilcox), and we were left with a gung-ho approach to signings but a very conservative approach to the first team management. The appointment of Nathan Jones was kerosene on the lit fire, because he was appointed outside of a transfer window and inherited a squad who did not have many players with the attributes his football philosophy required. I would agree with Martin Semmens that the subsequent (predictable) lack of results with the ill-suited squad led to fans and players losing buy in with him as a manager, but as Simon says, there seems to have been a startling lack of forethought about whether this guy could talk the talk effectively in front of the nation's sports reporters. Most fans listened for 5 minutes and were aghast.
One can blame the poor finances and poor ownership for the previous 3-4 years where we sold players and replaced ineffectively, and it's true that weakened us up. But it was a super weak relegation battle that year, and with more coherent leadership and recruitment we could have stayed up. The ultimate majority of blame has to lie with Sports Republic's original approach in taking over - they identified the need to make major changes, but needed to make the key appointments and a proper timetable before making these changes. They also seemed to let one management figure take a very wild approach in the transfer market, especially in January of that season, which is farcical in the PL in this day and age with the litany of other examples of what happens when clubs sign players with no strategy behind it.
One thing he didn’t compromise was the quality of drugs he was smoking
Southampton Dodged a bullet with Yank Lampard!
A big factor in him declining the opportunity was that the club's offer was initially for 6 months with a more longer-term extension if he kept us in the PL. He's being very dishonest in talking about the vision and all such mumbo-jumbo.
Semmens is as much at fault for our downfall over the last few seasons as any over. Totally inept, that's why he's not at the club anymore.
Saints were in serious trouble before Jones arrived but it was a terrible appointment. The board were clearly panicking and that will always lead to poor decision making. The January signings were panic-led too. When Russell Martin came in he said he was shocked by the level of negativity in the club. Fortunately we seem to have removed the right people and the rot has been stopped.
Semmens is an absolute onion if he rates Jones that highly. Semmens is an onion.
Cryptonite to Jim White: Measured and undramatic answers to loaded questions.
As a outsider looking in and all the things ive heard from their own fans. Its the ownership thats the problem.. they'll happily sell your best players and not bring in viable replacements for them.. look at Bale, Wallcott, Lovren, Alderwereild, Van Dijk, Luke Shaw, Lallana, Mane..
Hojbjerg, Schneiderlin
@nicolinzini520 oh there's alot more I'm just not a Saint so don't have all the knowledge 🤣
They're Southampton, not Man Utd. Selling their best players is just financial reality.
@@terrenusvitae 🎣
@terrenusvitae that's irrelevant?.. even midtable clubs have to look to bring in quality to improve.. look at my club.. 🤣🤣 being sold for a £1 and completing football.
He put the fans noses out almost immediately
Players did not have the energy to play RH’s high pressing out of possession style over multiple seasons, the current high possession style is much more sustainable over long term
Saints were always in trouble anyway, but Sports Republic came in and didn't have their preferred CEO, sporting director or manager. They should have cleared house in the summer and reset that season. Makes like difficult when there's competing philosophies in the club. Saints made some seriously bad recruitment decisions since the Poch/Korean era when we sold our best players and replaced them with poor replacements. Ralph was a good manager but his time had probably ran its course. Then the horrible appointment of Jones mid-season sealed the deal.
Contrast that with now, where we have the ownership, the board, the manager and the players aligned under the same plan and everything has got better. Recruitment has been excellent this season and the young players are coming good. 22 game win streak in the league now
Simon = Top LAD Proper Clobber ✊
Dear oh dear
Simon and Spectre = Top LADS Proper Clobber
Kept selling their best players, eventually you’ll have a year where you get caught out, now they better hope to get right back up as the longer yer down there the harder it’ll be to get back
How were they meant to keep the players?
Is there a part two?
All the people writing about how they sold their best.places year after year. What else were they supposed to do. Southampton, amongst other clubs, are selling clubs, or moreover, a club that gets bullied into selling by the bigger clubs. Wake up people!!!
Limit the turnover to 2 key players per season and replace them effectively. If direct, equal quality replacements are not available, reinvest in other areas of the squad to strengthen overall. Recruitment is always a gamble, so reduce risk where possible instead of signing several long-odds-to-succeed players simultaneously.
We should never sacked hassenhutel. The issue was we never backed hassenhutel and give the tools for him to succeed at saints. We had a negative net spend and he overachieved for 3 years but eventually it was going to catch up with us with lack of spending plus buy inexperienced young players.
we shoulda been relegated ages ago with our standard of team, ralph kept us up many a season, nothing but respext for him
It's funny how knowing how bad nathan jones was, he still beat man city in the league cup in the same season they won the treble.
If we where going to take a risk it should have been at the beginning of the season you then have a chance to correct. Just creating massive disruption midway through the season was never a good idea.
As a brighton fan i hope we dont go the way of southampton selling out best players and we cant keep finding gems ik we are different clubs and i trust tony bloom but its always in the background
Worst manager ever even worse than ian branfoot
That is saying something Branfoot got slaughtered
Pellegrino and Branfoot were both worse.
Jesse March turning down a club like Southampton is a joke! Wtf has he done in the game 😂
Recruitment is always a risk, no matter what analysis goes into it.
A very good interview, a terrible video title
Cor Nathan Jones loves himself doesn't he
southampton lived in a fantasy world of either bringing through gems or developing players, selling them on for big money but never reinvesting. FHH was treated badly as a manager cos he did well but the club didnt seem to ever back him in transfers and then they went down
FHH?
@@Sfcfan120 i think they mean hasenhuttl they might be hit f instead of r
The Brentford co sporting director left went to saint as part owner and tried to implement what he learnt at Brentford but difference was it took years for Brentford to do and reinvested. Saints tried taking the short cut
As a soton fan, i still want to know who actualy appointed nathan jones! Sacking ralph came 18 months too late but when we eventually did, we appoint that buffoon jones! From pochettino, koeman, to nathan jones, talk about a massive backwards step....
When he lost 9-0 for a second time I couldn’t take him anymore
Nathan jones was a liability Ralph was tired things happen for a reason
thanks christ we didnt get jessie marsch complete pric*
Semmens part of the jokers who got us relegated
Mate, Martin and Ralph did a great job of keeping us afloat for as long as we did, considering how there was zero investment in the club for many years under Gao.
😂😂😂
SCUMhampton!
Nathan Jones rubbed the fans up the wrong way from day one with stupid comments. He belittled the fans and the players. He also said he was one of the best in Europe at the time 💀
