It was strange to see Southampton boss Mark Hughes get sacked after his side put in such a good performance against Manchester United, but he has paid the price for a string of poor results previously.
Whoever gets the job will have a chance to get to know the Saints squad before the January transfer window opens, and you can envisage him being busy next month - he will need to be.
Tottenham will be stinging after their derby defeat by Arsenal and we will see a reaction here. Whoever is in charge of Southampton will probably be leaving Wembley empty-handed.
As I’m on nights today and tomorrow and will probably imbibe on the trip up, I hope the Spurs crowd are as quiet as normal so that I can get some shut-eye.
This one’s on at a decent hour down here (6:30am) and the wife and jnr’s are at here mums, which means no school runs/lunches/showers etc to worry about. In your best Jim Carrey voice, “Somebody stop me!!”
