Southampton sacked Nathan Jones after 95 disastrous days in charge, but the people who chose him will also be those deciding who to replace him with.In the end, the writing wasn’t written on the wall as much as it was smeared just anywhere you cared to look.
Can't think of a bigger act of self-harm that a top-flight club in the Premier League era has inflicted upon itself than Southampton's appointment of Nathan Jones.Furthermore, not only did Jones have no experience at this level as a manager, he didn’t have any as a player or coach either. There are plenty of times when this doesn’t really matter. New coaches arrive into the Premier League fairly regularly.
He never even picked up a point at St Mary’s in the league, and even the one bright spot in his short spell with the club, that 2-0 EFL Cup quarter-final win against Manchester City, doesn’t feel as valuable had it might have had Southampton surrendered without putting up much opposition over the two legs of their semi-final against Newcastle United. They’re still in the FA Cup, but that’s not the metric used to gauge the success or otherwise of a manager any more, and hasn’t been for decades.
