Claude Puel sacked
I think there is no real justification for his sacking. Southampton finished 8th and reached Carling Cup final. The fact they only got 46 points is more to do with the difference in quality of the top 7 teams in the league and the remaining 13 teams. After all, they did finish top of the subsection of the Premier League.
The gap between 1st and 8th was 48 points last season. Which is a greater number of points gained by the team that actually finished 8th, Southampton. Premier league isn't as competitive as it is made out.

Yeah there is a huge gap developing between "the big 6" then Everton in between and the rest if you go by last season's table.Nos89 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2017 9:18 amI think there is no real justification for his sacking.

Far too much hype about how competitive the league is because outside of the top 6 it really is just a load of cannon fodder, hopefully the new TV money will even things out a bit but I'm not sure.
As for us, well the way we are heading, we are in serious danger of becoming another Everton.
Re: Claude Puel sacked
Odd decision It's almost as baffling as the sacking of Quique Sanches Flores at Watford.
I can only think they have someone else in mind or that there was some backstage fallout .
Smaller Clubs run a very tight line and have to Juggle a lot especially on the buy / sell side , more so than bigger clubs I would say as they cannot afford to turn down big bids but at the same time they cant make mistakes on who they buy .

Shocking decision. Claude Paul had earned the right to decide when to leave.

Whether it's fair or not it's high reward and you are there to be shot at!

Indeed - I wonder if the Southampton fans will now be dubbed ungrateful morons for daring to challenge his authority. Should be careful what they wish for that lotrodders999 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2017 12:10 pmShocking decision. Claude Paul had earned the right to decide when to leave.

Re: Claude Puel sacked
not sure how they will replace him when weve been told for 10 years that there is nobody out there
on a serious note it shows Saints intend to push on,they may be a small club but they have ambitions bigger than us

Re: Claude Puel sacked
Good luck to them..
We are in a leetle rut, led by an arrogant self centred old man with a crooked grin, who has actually lost the plot ...
I hope we run him into the ground next season along with that owner who leeches on our club, tbh Usmanov can fuck off too for his backing of this overpaid clown...
Please don't tell me he is doing this for the love of the club, this is a vanity project...

Re: Claude Puel sacked
Southampton finishing 8th is pretty much their glass ceiling - they can't expect to compete with City, Chelsea, United, Spurs, Arsenal or Liverpool unless they have stinkers because of their resources. Everton even have a lot more money and Southampton struggle to keep pace with the likes of Stoke, Swansea, Sunderland and West Ham in terms of wages.SteveO 35 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2017 3:18 pmIndeed - I wonder if the Southampton fans will now be dubbed ungrateful morons for daring to challenge his authority.

Certainly a lot fucking better than mega-bucks Arsenal finishing 4th or 5th, put it that way.
