Badger Posted 3 December, 2018 Share Posted 3 December, 2018 (edited) With the caveat that Leipzig had finished 2nd the season before they finished 6th, so a bit of a regression. But yes, generally promising But I think he was in charge when they finished 2nd. I wouldn't read too much into his Leipzig success though as he had Ralf Rangnick as a DoF and worked with a nucleus of squad that Rangnick had been part of selecting, and spent £40m once he took over. All a bit different to what the Legacy of Les & the Lesbians have left him with here. Edited 3 December, 2018 by Badger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neef Posted 3 December, 2018 Share Posted 3 December, 2018 Looks like we're going back to the model of talented, youngish coaches who may get snapped up by the bigger boys in a few years time.

(Poch was great but we had no idea at the time). & what we can say about Ralph is that (unlike Pellegrino), at least the theory of why we want him is logical. (High pressing, attacking football).

Whilst those two have always been spot on previously the fact there is £100 freely available to back him at 10/1 on Betfair suggests this may be the exception to the rule.... In this case, we were overcome by events. Sunday afternoon I was told Hughes was going Monday morning, and as RH was getting cold feet, Flores was coming in instead. I know K billy had the same source. Seems that now RH is on board, MAybe even Flores was used as a stalking horse to show him we were in a hurry to appoint. Which is great as I think RH has the potential to be so much better than Flores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 3 December, 2018 Share Posted 3 December, 2018 Ok, well this is a pleasant surprise. A forward thinking, long-term and highly regarded managerial appointment. After the last few we've been crying out for someone like this, he's very much in the Klopp mould and will obviously know a lot about high pressing football. Dare I say we're going back to having some sort of philosophy? As we have totally lost that through the last few appointments. The debate is if we really have the players to do that, but then bringing in Mitchell alongside him is an interesting choice. He obviously got plaudits for the way we managed the 2015 pre-season, but he still did find his share of duds! (although nowhere near as bad as wee ross...)

Saint Matty 76 Posted 3 December, 2018 Share Posted 3 December, 2018 Extremely happy with this, would've got on board with Quique but Hasenhuttl has had a great pedigree wherever he's been.

The Bild article doesn't say much, "RH on the verge of joining Saints" "Hughes had to go after 10 winless games" "RH was earlier linked to Bayern and Leverkusen and now he can fulfill his dream of working abroad" not really in depth.

Considering our current ratio of duds to gems is lots to none, anything would be an improvement. Recruitment is always going to involve a lot of guesswork and every club signs duds, but if we can find 1-2 Manes for 3-4 duds I'd imagine most of us would be happy.

skintsaint Posted 3 December, 2018 Share Posted 3 December, 2018 The squad with decent maangement shouldn't be near the bottom, hopefully Hasensluttle can bring his previous form to the club and give us an easier 2nd half to the season.
