It feels like Southampton fans have just accepted that this is how it ends. Mistakes, there have been a few. twoht looks at a relegation without a fight.
Another home defeat seems to have convinced most people that Southampton will be ending their 11-year stay in the Premier League.The most surprising thing about the boos that rang around St Mary’s at five to five on Saturday afternoon was that there was anyone left to be bellowing them out. Southampton had beenthat has had life breathed into it by that wily old dog Roy Hodgson. The Saints, on the other hand, look like a stone that is sinking fast.
Ralph Hassenhuttl clung on until a week into November. Nathan Jones proved himself unable to stamp much identity on a team that wasn’t ‘playing as though their hair is on fire’ and consequently lasted three months in the job, recording one victory: a 2-1 win at Everton in January, by which time there already seemed to be a near-universal feeling that Southampton’s decision to hire him was a mistake.
It’s not that there wasn’t a case to hire Selles of any sort whatsoever. It’s more that it was difficult to see what in his record was the level of experience needed to take on a job of that scale, when the financial costs of getting it wrong would be astronomical. Somewhat surprisingly, for a club whose owners Sport Republic place so much faith in hard numbers and statistics, the eventual decision to give it to Selles until the end of the season felt more like a club run on vibes.
The club’s financial position is hardly rosy, but isn’t exactly catastrophic by modern standards, either. Southampton lost £6m in the 2021/22 season, more than halving the previous year’s loss of £13.7m, while the club’s total debt had reduced slightly, from £91.6m to to £90.7m. But the cost of relegation is clear. Southampton’s turnover for the 2021/22 season was £150.6m. Over the same season, they made £115.2m in television and prize fund money.
