Barring any surprises now, I think it's a done deal - it's probably just a case of who goes with him across his backroom team.

 

Now up to Ross Wilson to facilitate Gerrard's successor in a timely fashion.

This is Ross Wilson’s biggest test yet.

I'm actually quite excited. 

 

I've been quite unimpressed and bored by our performances this season.

Yes, this is his first managerial appointment with us.

 

Who did he appoint at Southampton? Was he responsible for Hasenhuttl?

 

Edit: Claude Puel, Mauricio Pellegrino, Mark Hughes and Hasenhuttl... Eek!

There’s certainly a potential upside but the risk is big so I’m nervous. 
 

With the right appointment we could get a real bounce and a freshness to our tactics, but that is a best case scenario.

I feel the same. I'd rather not be changing managers in mid season but I've had a feeling for a while of the team being stuck in a rut and unable to move forward. It's always a risky time (Pedro) but this could be a chance to make progress again.

I’m sure he was primarily considered responsible for the appointment. It doesn’t look like he’s done too well there.

3 pts behind Man Utd in 6th place - I'd call that doing well at a club like Southampton

I think Claude Puel was good, but he was unfavourably compared to Koeman and Pochettino, who over-performed in many ways. 

 

Pellegrino and Hughes were poor. 

 

I rate Hasenhuttl quite highly, though. 

 

I don't know what we can draw from these appointments, other than a safe pair of hands (Puel and Hughes) and looking for an exciting coach (Pellegrino and Hasenhuttl), maybe?

I think he means Wilson, in terms of his managerial appointments. 

 

I agree that Hasenhuttl has done quite well.

I did mean Hasenhuttl but I don’t watch the EPL, I just did a quick search and saw he’d finished 12th in his first full season but then dropped to 15th in his second season.
