It is safe to say Southampton are underperforming in the Premier League, and yet their manager’s job appears to be safe.
In 12 league games, the Saints have scored just eight times and sit on the cusp of the relegation zone with only Huddersfield and Fulham picking up fewer points.
The board, though, don’t appear to be concerned, at least over the future of the club’s manager, Mark Hughes, who currently holds the lowest win percentage of any manager at the club since 2010.
Recent changes have been made, however, as the board dismissed long-term chairman Les Reed.
Now, Sky Sports News understands that the St Mary’s club are to back Mark Hughes and fund any new potential additions in the January market.
Astonishingly the only sour note to come out of Southampton on the Welshman is that there is an agreement that they should have picked up at least one more win based on their performances, believing there is no crisis state yet at Staplewood.
These Southampton fans are certainly amazed…
