I rate him hugely. But was seriously at fault for spurs 2nd goal, not tracking Moura. Hopefully being human and not perfect will put people like Jose off him
Hereās the full article:
Southampton expect to agree a new contract with manager Ralph HasenhĆ¼ttlbefore the end of the season, having been rewarded for their faith in the Austrian since the 9-0 defeat to Leicester City in late October.
HasenhĆ¼ttl, 52, signed an original contract until the summer of 2021 when he took over the club in Dec 2018 and it was his decision, along with that of chief executive Martin Semmens, to put any extension discussions aside after the nine-goal defeat to focus on stabilising the club. Although the club are yet to reach what they consider a safe points total, there is confidence that HasenhĆ¼ttl buys into the long-term future and is prepared to commit to a new deal.
The club has been restructured in recent months with the arrival from the Football Association of new director of football operations Matt Crocker, who had previously worked at Southamptonās academy. The work on rebuilding the squad began last month with the departure of Cedric Soares and Maya Yoshida on loan in the transfer window to Arsenal and Sampdoria respectively, both older players who will be free agents in the summer.

HasenhĆ¼ttlās influence is crucial with the Austrian expected to set the path for the foreseeable future. His input is anticipated in every part of the club and the new contract will discourage any Premier League or Bundesliga clubs looking at him as a potential new appointment.
He was backed emphatically by the clubās board in the aftermath of that record-equalling Leicester defeat with the message to the squad that it would not be the manager who would shoulder the blame for the defeat. The clubās principal owner Gao Jisheng, his daughter Nelly, former majority owner Katharina Liebherr and Semmens were in agreement that HasenhĆ¼ttl was the right long-term choice. Provisionally a target of 38 points for safety was set in the aftermath of the defeat to Leicester that left the club on eight points and in 18th place on Oct 25.
Currently on a run of 16 points from their last eight games, including a win over Leicester at the King Power last month, the club believe they can move up from 13th and secure a top ten finish come May. They also have the future of a number of players to resolve once safety has been achieved. Striker Shane Long, whose current deal expires in the summer, will sign an extension and stay beyond this season.
The future of club captain Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, entering the last year of his contract in the summer, will have to be sorted out one way or another.
Ryan Bertrand and Oriol Romeu both have deals which expire in the summer of next year. Danny Ings and James Ward-Prowse will have two years left after this season.
There is also likely to be the sale this summer of four of their highest-earning players currently out on loan ā Guido Carillo (contracted to 2021), Wesley Hoedt, Mario Lemina (both 2022) and Mohamed Elyounoussi (2023).
As for Fraser Forster, on loan at Celtic and under contract until 2022, a decision will also have to be made on whether the goalkeeper has a future at Saints. The club are looking for players who suit HasenhĆ¼ttlās high-pressing model with the loan signing of Kyle Walker-Peters from Tottenham Hotspur in the last window a step in that direction.
No one is going to spend money on Carrillo. Heāll go for a free next year after spending next season on loan somewhere shit. I reckon we should be able to sell Mo and Lemina for about Ā£8-10m each. Iām not sure about hoedt. We might convince someone to give us some money. Thatās some pretty big losses on players.
Not necessarilyā¦
Remember, from a P&L perspective player cost is written down equally over the length of contract.
Carrillo will have a BOOK value of Ā£17m divided by 4 years x 2. So Ā£8.5m.
Ditto the others.
So from a loss perspective in our accounts it should be zero if we get 1/2 price for them.
Obviously we burned a lot of our cash flow on them and are most likely paying in stages. So again 2 years payments left on them etc.
Freed up salaries, profit from this season = cash we have in the bank for more Dansos
Has anyone noticed the obvious similarities between Carillio and Carillion?
Could that be why heās an expensive disaster? I know some former Carillion bigwigs. They donāt advertise themselves as such.
I think Carillion moved faster than Carillo.
Not from the perspective of their suppliers.
Carillio moves at lightning speeds compared to Carillionās Accounts Payable team.
The concept of Carillo moving at lightning speeds, even comparatively, makes me call into question what lightning speed actually is and, beyond that, what the speed of light may actually be. Could he move at the speed of light? Could he even exceed it? Guido Carillo, you must be aware that you cannae change the laws of physics.
Itās only a stiff Manhattan that will allow me to sleep tonight.
Look, Carillio could have walked with the cash and got it there faster than the forever it took Carillion
Does this mean that I donāt need to reassess my knowledge of the speed of light? Thatās a relief. I donāt need the Manhattan, but Iāll drink the fucker anyway cos Iāve made it now.
No, it means you should insist on 30 day payment terms if youāre a little firm working for a big firm.
The Cortese Clause as it s known in the construction industry.
