Southampton are just above the bottom three, but they’re boring rather than bad and perhaps that’s why they keep faith with Ralph Hasenhuttl.The Premier League is looking extremely tight this year so reading too much into the order might be something of a fool’s errand, but it’s difficult to look at the position of Southampton, one place above the bottom three, and not wonder whether the four-year reign of Ralph Hasenhuttl may soon be coming to an end.
Two of their wins, for example, came against Chelsea and from a derby at Bournemouth. And while they shipped four goals against both Spurs and Manchester City, otherwise they haven’t lost a league game this season by more than a single goal. But they didn’t come back strongly enough, and it was the fourth time in their previous five away league games that they’d failed to score. Travelling Southampton supporters have to go back to their game at Leicester on August 20 for one of those. Several other clubs have scored the same number as the 11 they’ve scored in their 13 games, but only Wolves and Nottingham Forest have scored fewer goals than Southampton.
He’s not in charge of recruitment. The man they took on to fill that position in July, Joe Shields, has already been poached by Chelsea, who, lest we forget,want Brighton’s head of recruitment Paul Winstanley. In Shields’ four months with the club his most notable achievement was to spend £49.6m on young players from Manchester City, including already first-choice goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu.about the policy of erring towards younger players in the transfer market.
Perhaps it’s the inertia of the last three or four years that’s keeping Hasenhuttl in situ at St Mary’s. He’s not catastrophically bad – except for when Southampton lose 9-0, but that hasn’t happened for almost two years now – and he seems on board with the club’s policies on transfers. He does just enough, and that seems to be just fine for those running the club.
