They have a good track record with appointing managers and often its bit of a suprise, even the one they just sacked was hardly a failure? more had issues with the board IMO.
Dont know fuck all about this bloke but at some point Southampton and there good luck in this regard will run out and they get a Grant or Zola.............

Slaven Bilic - KNOWN QUANTITY and definitely a bit UNDERWHELMING.
We will soon find out how they compare when the new season starts.

To be fair to them, when they have banged out previous managers and appointed the likes of Poch the now front wheel supremo, much the same was said
They have a system down there that appears to work, structurally secure and tantermount, the employees from CEO, manager, staff and players are disposable - it's the vision that counts
Have to say, the best run club by a country mile in England and possibly Europe, bang for buck and objective achieved

They do have a system and strategy that we could learn something from and seem to have a knack of replacing sold players well .... but they had a wobble with Puel and you can only hope their 'luck' runs out.
Not sure if it's because we were Championship rivals but I've never really liked them and would welcome a COMEUPPANCE

I don't think what Southampton do is not down to "luck" to be fair

However thorough their planning is with so many regular changes there is always the possibility that you don't get it right every time
I put it as 'luck' rather than luck for that reason

Is this the same Pellegrino who took Alaves last season to the Spanish Cup Final last year for the first time in their history? Only an unknown quantity if you ignore Spanish football.

To be honest I know little of a lot of La Liga beyond Barca, Real, Atletico , Sevilla etc
SO SHOOT ME
I imagine most fans would not be familiar with him.
He took a promoted team to 9th and a cup final.
Good work.
A bit like what PUEL did then with a team that's sold a couple of hundred million of players in the last few years.

It can't be too great considering they only finished 1 point ahead of us last season.
Jump off the bandwagon, lads. It's all aboard the Everton bus now.

you say it's a bit underwhelming, but Southampton put a lot of effort in to scouting the right manager for the system they employ at the club. there's some good insight in these two articles:

They still finished above us again as they have every season bar the first (maybe not even then?) since we both came up together. Also got to a cup final and are regular Europa leaguers. This after spending decades in the lower leagues.
They have had to change managers and sell half their first team every summer, are no where near as wealthy or big as us yet are miles ahead of us in every department.
Says a lot about our owners.

i think it actually says more about the system they employ and how they run the club, which if you read those two articles below sounds unlike how most clubs are run, certainly in terms of selecting managers.

you really should take a moment to check your facts before posting mate, they have been in the europa league twice, that's hardly 'regular'.
as for being in the lower leagues for decades, they have been a top flight team for 32 of the past 39 seasons you berk!
