EBS1980 Posted 23 February, 2023 Share Posted 23 February, 2023 It’s obvious given all the positive PR that’s come out this week around Selles and the team loving him that he’ll get the job. It’s just a case of if it’ll be til the end of season or longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James G Posted 23 February, 2023 Share Posted 23 February, 2023 I emailed Arsene Wenger from a past comment, I know him from his charity work, he says he is not coming to Southampton, he is going to retire after his current role with Fifa, but he wishes you all good luck and says he has admired Southampton for a long time for their player development over the years 👍 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I say again he never had us in a relegation fight and hello .. he`s gone and instantly Saints are back to old territory ... So fans that wanted him gone can carry some of the blame here .

Barsiem Posted 24 February, 2023 Share Posted 24 February, 2023 I'd be surprised if we announce this now. Sellers is already effectively in post and we may as well see how he does over a few games before making a decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_SFC Posted 24 February, 2023 Share Posted 24 February, 2023 The club know the players like Selles and that they have responded well to his ideas. There's been a lot of change over the last few months - maybe a bit of certainty with the managers position until at least the end of the season is a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted 24 February, 2023 Share Posted 24 February, 2023 Yeah I don’t see Saints announcing anything. I think it will be Selles to the end of the season. However, say we lose our next three games Sport Republic can still turn around and say “we’re still actively looking”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After "a few games" no one else is going to come in to manage 10 games to relegation.

I get the viewpoint, but if he does lose the next few we would still have time (barely) to bring somebody else in. He's managed one game, in which we admittedly got a very good win. No-one else is going to pinch him at this point, so better to keep things as they are for me atm. People wanted Jones out after 2 games, and now people are set on Selles being the messiah after 1 game. If Jones' first game was the city win everyone would have been creaming themselves about what a manager we had, however the reality was very different. Hopefully Selles has more about him, but we don't know that yet. I won't be unhappy with Selles to the end of the season, I just don't see the advantage in announcing now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be unhappy with Selles to the end of the season, I just don't see the advantage in announcing now I’d suggest it’s more nuanced than winning a game. Jones, despite a sign that he had turned things around with a week of good results, then seemed to lose the plot, wasn’t level headed and just confirmed he was not really cut out for the mental demands of the Prem that go beyond being a good coach. Selles, in comparison, seems level headed, demanding but also someone who appreciates the work of others. We shall see how it all works out but he looks more attuned to top flight football than Jones ever did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky Posted 24 February, 2023 Share Posted 24 February, 2023 Makes sense, nobody is going to blame Ruben when we get relegated so it gives him what's left of this season to show what he can do. Reassess at the end of the season and if we find it didn't work we go our separate ways, and bring somebody new in for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
