Saints sack Hasenhüttl and have approached Luton for Nathan Jones

[Michael Morris]

Luton Town Football Club can confirm that permission has been granted to Southampton to speak to Nathan Jones about their managerial vacancy following the Hatters’ match at Stoke City.

We would like to place on record that the Premier League club have approached the board in the correct manner, for which we are grateful, and that the whole situation is extremely amicable with Southampton and with Nathan.

We would also like to urge all supporters travelling to Stoke to show him and the team your support on what we hope will be yet another memorable away day.

As a club we will not be making any further comment until the process is complete.

can we make a move for Hasenhuttl?

[the other bob wilson]

It didn’t end well last time he went to a club that plays in red and white stripes.

We should have been the ones officially speaking to Nathan Jones months ago. What a joke we are at times.

not convinced by Jones, has done a tremendous job at Luton but he's very direct and we are trying to get away from that

We should have, he looks the perfect fit for us, Southampton are no mug's they have a good set up and make good good sensible footbal decisions.

[Vindec]

Wasn't Haselhuttl's first match as Southampton's manager against us? We won. Nathan Jones has been successful at Luton but a disaster at Stoke. I doubt whether he would be a perfect fit for us.

[sneggyblubird]

I dare say there'll be a hefty compo package involved, enough to scare our board shitless.

Correct - he was dubbed the Klopp of the Alpes.
Callum Patterson late winner.

He does speak his mind and is no shrinking violet I'll give you that!

It doesn't take much....anyway, we've lawyers to pay.

They've been close a few times to dropping out of the PL but they are more proactive than we are or ever have been and I agree, they've a good set up done there. I'd love to have seen us go for Jones.

[Pedro de la Rosa]

Southampton's DoF is Matt Crocker, formerly of Cardiff City. I'm surprised he's not given the job to Hasenhuttl's u21 coach or the assistant manager? Strange he doesn't think that is the best option given his background :hehe:

Poignant, topical and snarky. My favourite combo! :hehe: :thumbup:

Crocker is good, it's a pity we couldn't have kept him, he knows his stuff.

Do you think if he fails (I hope he doesn’t) Luton will take him back ?

It is bloody mad though isn't it that Crocker is DoF at Southampton and we've got...well...?

Tan's been a stubborn arse over the years for all his money and financial support.

Weve had much better options, David Brent (Harris)
Mad Mick the dinosaur and Steve poundland Pep Morison.
Nathan Jones wouldn't have fitted in here at all with our hierarchy
We would have won games, United the fan base and got us challenging at the top

We dont wont any of that nonsense here

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

I would have loved Jones and his direct football

But he's sure to be more interested in Southampton , a genuine top flight club who will give him financial backing than us ......who half the time behave like a basket case .

All academic now , Hudson and his wing man have the prize so there we go .

[Harry Paget Flashman]

We don't have a pot to piss in.

We won't be getting a first rate manager or paying compo anytime soon.

Sorry guv...you're right. I was like one of those Looney Tunes characters imagining a roasted chicken there for a moment.

Thanks for the reality check. That's cheered me up no end!

Crocker and Jones were both Apprentices at the club at the same time, in fact, jonah played outside Crocker on the left. Jonah could play, Crocker was shit.

My son's mate started at Villa, went to Bristol City and ended up at Southamptons academy based at the University of Bath. He said it was a non contest, Southampton were light years ahead of the other two.

They have been for for 30 years.

IIRC, he's got a five or six year contract.

We probably did but they rejected our offer of a Berjaya HQ tour and Max Watters on loan.

Their loss.

We’ve never been good at haggling at City!

[2b2bdoo]

Interesting choice, not sure he’s up to it but a great chance.

It was. It pissed down.

I wasn't there. I was gloryholing a music stand with a snowman's nose that afternoon (honestly).

We did the double over them that season I think. if I recall correctly Ken came on and scored a ''screamer' at St Mary's - actually he mishit it and it tricked over the line. I don't know how they stayed up that season; they were pants.

With him mouthing “I’m back” to us fans behind the goal.......unfortunately he wasn’t back.

its a great setup at Bath's STV, massive numbers though, I used to watch them train once a week ( only so many netball drills you can watch ) , its a great earner for Southampton

[jon1959]

Neil Critchley and Mark Bonner (the Cambridge Utd one) favourites for the Luton job if Nathan Jones goes to Southampton.

[Gnojek]

Maybe he was saying "I'm cack"?

[Ivortheengine]

If Jones goes to Southampton, they are going down for sure. No experience of the “ big time” , and players who are clearly not good enough right now. If I was Ward- Prowse , I’d be out of there as soon as I could.
