By what measure? CL knockouts 2 seasons running, semi final last season. Title race this season.Improved RBL is quite debatable
That's improvement.
They had done none of these under Rangnick or Hassenhuttl.

looooooooooolDear lord I actually threw up in my mouth at the thought of Gerrard as our coach. I don't want anyone tainted with Liverpool any where near us. Nagglesmann with Ragnik as D.O.F has always been my preference. Followed by Potter( there's something about Potter that makes me think he will end up very big indeed.) But he needs a Southampton sized job first. Gerrard would be openly waiting to replace Klopp and tapping up Scarlet and Son.
As I understand it Falk is very connected to Bayern. But his links in other clubs are more hit and miss. But he is one of the bigger names in German football journalism.is he legit?
(the author not nagelsmann)
Who?????Hassenhuttl.
I know there are strong and weak in every club. Just don’t think Hassenhutl can be regarded as a strength for Southampton. His sides go through long dips in form, ship a lot of goals and have been pumped 9-0 twice in two years. I’m not expecting Southampton to be consistently gold, but I don’t expect them to be consistently bad either. What you call brave coaching, I call not having a clue how to set a team up to not concede.Well because within every club there are strong and weak points.
For me what keeps Southampton respectable are Hassenhuttl's brave coaching, Ings being an excellent goal getter and good solid players like Vestegaard, KWP and JWP. They don't have the player quality to be consistently good for long stretches.
Do you judge Spurs by the level of a Harry Kane and the potential/talent of an N'Dombele or do you judge Spurs by the level of a Matt Doherty?
If we win 2 titles this season then Jose is not getting sacked.My ideal situation would be to win the League Cup and Europa League then bring Naglesmann in and with him Sabitzer. That would set us up lovely for next season.

If he wins the Europa League he has secured CL football without depending on the league. Which means that the minimum target or European football next season has been met.If he comes below 6th he might. It would be hard for Jose to justify the poor league performance and crap football and it’s a one shot only chance to get a manager who can take the club forward long term at that level.
The measure of quality is the league. In the previous three seasons, RBL finished 2nd, 6th, and 3rd, Nagelsmann finsihed 3rd last season with same number of points - definitely not an improvement. No guarantees he would finish any higher this season.By what measure? CL knockouts 2 seasons running, semi final last season. Title race this season.

last season was the Best Southampton league performance since 2014-16 where they finished 6th and 7th.I know there are strong and weak in every club. Just don’t think Hassenhutl can be regarded as a strength for Southampton. His sides go through long dips in form, ship a lot of goals and have been pumped 9-0 twice in two years.

Just don’t get the hype around the guy.
then Levy is an idiot. the league is your bread and butter and it would help Jose save face too if he walked away with a trophy ending the Spurs drought.If he wins the Europa League he has secured CL football without depending on the league. Which means that the minimum target or European football next season has been met.
There is literally 0% chance that Jose would be sacked off of winning 1, let alone 2 trophies this season.

Difference being you can sell Lucas to another club and replace him with Sancho. You cannot sell Jose's contract to another club.then Levy is an idiot. the league is your bread and butter and it would help Jose save face too if he walked away with a trophy ending the Spurs drought.
this is like saying don't buy Sancho because Lucas Moura scored the cup winning goal.
Why wouldn’t we get a second shot? Where else is he going to go in the summer?I wouldn’t be so sure of that he is ruthless enough to know when an opportunity arises. He wouldn’t get a second shot.

I'm not sure if I'm being clear enough, I don't care if the the Portuguese Mike Bassett wins the CC EL Davis Cup Calcutta Cup and World series. I want him gone for the ugly neolithic period football we play under him.then Levy is an idiot. the league is your bread and butter and it would help Jose save face too if he walked away with a trophy ending the Spurs drought.

He should because the league performance has been abhorrent.Difference being you can sell Lucas to another club and replace him with Sancho. You cannot sell Jose's contract to another club.
Managers get fired if they don't meet their expectations. Jose winning two titles in a season would make him our most successful coach on the trophy front since the General. He's not getting canned off of 2 trophies unless he and Levy has a massive falling out behind the scenes.
