Well, the Board don’t seem as inept as I had thought, and fair play to them for that. Maybe Ralph K has been “released” by giving Reed the old heave ho? Whatever has happened it’s decisive, well managed and swift. Everything Reed’s appointments weren’t. Good on the Club. ---

Southampton fans will be understandably divided... “He’s been able to get a lot out of very limited teams so if you’re looking for someone who is going to immediately improve the team, who is going to introduce a very recognisable style, make them very tough to beat, give them cohesion, give them an identity… he ticks the boxes. “I think he’ll be a brilliant appointment.” ---

Interesting intro in that article: > Southampton fans will be understandably divided by the imminent appointment of Ralph Hasenhuttl. > Rather than plump for an experienced, Premier League firefighter like David Moyes or Sam Allardyce, [the Saints](https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/topic/southampton-fc/) appear to have turned to a man who has never managed or played in the Premier League to replace [Mark Hughes](https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/topic/mark-hughes/). I find it impossible to imagine that any Saints fan would want Allardyce or Moyes at the club. ---

I believe SKD and Ross Wilson have been pivotal in recent events at this club.They together may have seen Reed was taking the club backwards and got RK to act.Especially after hearing hearing SKD’s interviews after Hughes sacking,I believe SKD is our modern day MLT and he whats to see the club drive forwards.Going to be interesting in January window without Les Reeds cancer at the club.
