Hasenhuttl Rumours Rife As Odds To Be Sacked Shorten !
Wednesday, 21st Sep 2022 14:25

Saints social media is rife with rumours that Ralph Hasenhuttl is about to become the next Premier League manager to be sacked, however no one can quite pinpoint where these rumours are coming from.

As I always point out when odds for a manager to be sacked change dramatically, this is a fun betting market and it has the opportunity for someone with insider information to take the bookies for a few bob if they can get money on quick on a change of manager.

Therefore odds in this market shorted at the drop of a hat for even the least significant movement in betting patterns.

Ralph Hasenhuttl's odds to be the next manager to be sacked shortened drastically today and have dropped to as low as 7/4 with some bookmakers.

However he is still not the favourite to be sacked, that remains Brendan Rodgers at Leicester City.

The rumour mill is saying that Ralph will be sacked at some point this afternoon and that his replacement is already in lined up.

Some are saying that he is already at the club and that Ruben Selles who joined back in June as Ralph's lead coach was appointed with the intention that he would succeed the Austrian.

Certainly there have already been changes in the coaching set up since the revamp in the summer that saw Selles arrive, Alex Clapham came and went after barely two months as the coach responsible for set pieces.

The rumours back then were that Clapham had clashed with Selles who had not let him get on with the job and had interfered with Clapham's work on the training field, certainly what we do know is that Clapham left under a cloud.

So if the rumour mill is correct then Ralph Hasenhuttl, wont be manager of Saints by the end of today, we will soon find out if this is just a rumour flying around due to a few people putting on money on him being sacked, or whether this has real substance.

While the timing during the international break is one that this type of activity happens, I find it strange as the players brought in where supposedly the ones RH wanted. I would be shocked but not surprised as the football world is very quick to drop the axe.

Mad if true
We finally seem to have the type of players to play the
Way he wants.

For all those who want him sacked , maybe check out his record on Wikipedia against the new Chelsea managers whilst at Brighton for some context on how well he has done under massive constraint.

Not sure if anyone else feels the same but it hards to like and indeed care about the premier League anymore. Lost its soul , shame the so called super League didn't take those clubs away

Are you serious? Did you see the Villa game ?
The whole point is that they DIDN'T play.

That's one game , we are about where you would expect in the league. We were brilliant against utd and Chelsea and should have had a point at least Vs wolves.

Having an average age of 23 your not going to be that consistent. Yes we were rubbish at Villa, I don't remember more than about one time in the 30+ years I've watched that we haven't been ...

Ruben Selles seems to be the ideal replacement for RH. In fact I'd go so far as to say that he could become one of our best ever head coaches, until he inevitably gets poached by a top club of course.

The issue is now the Everton game....a must win. The board must be concerned, as are many of us, as to why we put in so many inconsistent performances.....many of which have been dreadful. A club like Southampton relies on beating the teams around us. Again.....the issue is...do we trust Ralph to take charge against Everton.....possibly now a season defining fixture already.

I've always suspected that betting firms will " create " odds on almost any possibility.
e.g Snow in London on Christmas Day, UFO landing in Hyde Park, etc.
There's always some punter willing to try and beat the odds on a long shot.

admittedly, things haven't gone to plan so far, but having supported RH this far, I don't see the Board ditching him quite now - not yet at least, unless Pochettino is still unemployed ..now there's a thought.

He should have gone TWO seasons ago amd as for "young squad and not expecting consistency" what a load of crap... Ralph bought these players in, neglected to get a decent striker. If he, for one minute expected no consistency, then he deserves the sack even more.

We play like a Sunday league side, score like an 11yr old side and have a manager that's couldn't even manage both of the formentioned.

Look at his record... how many 9nils, how many drubbing, what's his win %?

Bookies are not stupid. There's an international break. They'd be daft not to shorten odds at a time clubs might consider changing manager. They don't want to get caught with their pants down. That's how they make money and punters don't. Good business model!

That would be better than the guy who just took charge at chelsea then..

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Southampton_F.C._managers

Similar record.to Poch at Southampton having been here 3 x as long , even better than the last manager here for this length of time Nichol who we got rid of and have never been anywhere near as consistent since

Must be like a scene from High Noon at chez Hasenhuttl this evening. Grim looks to the phone then back to the ticking click.

Can't see it happening , we've got 7 points from 7 games so that's a moderate if unspectacular return so far this season.
I think the owners are more likely to make a decision at the beginning of the world cup break .
If we're in the bottom three or very close to it then Ralph has to go to protect their investment.
Mid table or above great.
Below mid table but comfortably clear of trouble they'll persevere .
We all can point out the ups and downs of his time here depending on whether you're a "Make RHexit Happen" ( nicked from someone else) or a Ralmainer.
It has to be said though that the disastrous run of games that we finished on last season certainly turned a lot of fans against him.

I just asked my dog who would be the next manager to be sacked. He said "Ralph!". But that's all he can ever say so it might not mean much.

This 'next to be sacked' thing is a 20 horse race and once you eliminate the clubs who definitely aren't going to change you have a field of managers of clubs who haven't started well i.e. Rodgers, Moyes, Lampard, Cooper, Gerrard and Ralph.

Lampard and Gerrard had good results recently, Forest won't sack Cooper (but then Burnley wouldn't sack Dyche) so that leaves Rodgers as not worth betting on as favourite with Moyes and Ralph as next best. As I can't believe that many people bet on these sort of things it doesn't take much, after a woeful showing vs Villa, to make Ralph the man.

For what its worth my view is he will go if we are booed off after the Everton game.
