Strange with Emery, he looked clueless and out of his depth at Arsenal, yet such a success in Spain and Paris. Neil Critchley signed a 4 year extension at Blackpool a year ago and left after 6 months to assist Gerrard. He's got an interesting career choice either waiting for Gerrard to get another job or putting his hat in the ring for all the championship etc vacancies, probably competing with Gerrard if he does .

It's hard not to be a success domestically at Paris, though Pocchetino did manage to not win the league with PSG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a big gig who come in after Wenger. To deliver what he did at Villarreal and Sevilla especially was sensational. He makes good players better rather than being an elite manager I’d say. Think it’s a great appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shout, Appleton not pulling up trees and if Critchley's potentially sniffing around it will add to any pressure he might be under. Beating PNE won't have done him any harm though.

Benny The Ball Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 A brave appointment by Southampton - Nathan Jones ( Luton Town ) replacing Ralph Hasenhuttl Be good to see a young British Manager who has only managed in the lower leagues to date succeed at this level.

He got dog's abuse from the moment he arrived. And unclear whether the problem was Jones or Stoke. Since Pulis, they've had Mark Hughes, Paul Lambert, Gary Rowett, Nathan Jones, Michael O'Neill, Alex Neil. Every one of those seems to have made the team worse. Surely they aren't all poor managers that can only succeed at one club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends what defines "success" for Southampton. They probably won't win a cup or trouble the top 8, they'll be looking over their shoulders at best like a Palace or Everton. Then there will be a time when they're bottom 6 and lose 3 on the trot and everyone says "Jones isn't a Premiership manager". Not saying he is or isn't, but I'll be amazed if their fans don't turn against him at some point in next 12 months. Brighton fans were trying to get Potter out last season, if you're not top 8 in the Prem you're 3 results from big pressure if you aren't a "name".

I dont disagree I would have thought that with his appointment finishing 17th will be regarded as success by many of their fanbase who must surely be underwhelmed by his appointment More the sort of appointment you would expect when you are 10 points from safety with 12 games left and planning for life in the Championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, from the point of view of rewarding good British championship managers, he does a good job and gets them well clear of the bottom 3, otherwise its probably back to bringing in another from overseas, or another unproven big name like Lampard/Gerrard/Carrick.
