If Danny Rohl is the number one target for Southampton FC in the summer to replace Ivan Juric, then they are going to have to pay compensation to the Owls, it hs now been revealed just how much that Saints will have to pay.

According to footballleagueworld.co.uk Southampton are going to have to fork out if they want Danny Rohl from Sheffield Wednesday.

He was touted for the job at St Mary's back in December but it was claimed that the level of compensation put Saints off.

That was said to be £4 million if a Premier League club came in for him, but with Saints heading to the Championship, that allegedly reducing to only £2 million.

However it is likely to be deja vu for Southampton, the report also says that Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri will wrangle over the actual date of when Southampton's Championship status is official before the clause is triggered.

That is what happened when Saints took Russell Martin from Swansea City, back then Saints approached Swansea once the season was over in early June, but the Swans claimed that Southampton didn't officially leave the Premier League until the AGM in early July, so where therefore a Premier League club when they made the approach.

If this happens again it is not something to worry too much about, firstly if Rohl did arrive in June, all the players are on holiday, there is no one really to manage, secondly it would be naïve to think that if Rohl had agreed a deal but was waiting till July, that he would not be speaking to Johann Spors about the plans for the upcoming season during June, if not earlier.

SanMarco added 15:05 - Mar 17 If we all decide that Rohl is the man (and I think it would be a good appointment) then SR are sure as feck certain to appoint someone else. Nathan Jones is doing well...

underweststand added 07:57 - Mar 18 We need to think back 3 or 4 managers ago, but it seems that Rohl was most likely the brains behind any " success " in Hasenhuttl's early days. He clearly knows our club well and the lack of a successful promotional "push" with Wednesday need not reflect on his ability, as like Juric, he can only work with the players the club has given him. With both him and Rosenoir apparently in the frame it will be interesting to see which of our loan players they might bring with them - if given the job. (Charles / SAA) One thing is certain, whoever it is will be able to choose his own squad given the obvious changes already on the cards. (KWP, Dibling, THB, Aribo etc. may be going , and who would blame them) and the re-building of a team fit for the Championship will be much less expensive than trying to buy one needed to survive in the Prem.
