Southampton in danger of Premier League record nobody wants amid brutal decline

Southampton need two points from their last 11 Premier League games or. They will break Derby’s record for the lowest total in top-flight history.

The Saints remain rock bottom, with a โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที pathetic tally of nine points, after losing 4-0 at Chelsea on Tuesday in what has been a truly brutal decline.

Just 10 years ago – Southampton were a joy to watch – and qualified for. European football via their league position for the first time since 1984.

The situation at St Mary’s is the polar opposite a decade later, which begs the question:. How did things get this bad for the south coast club?

The Saints’ abysmal season was set in motion before a ball was kicke, with the club making a number. Of mistakes in the summer transfer window under their owners Sports Republic, who purchase the club back in 2022.

More experience players like Duje Caleta-Car, Lyanco and Romain Perraud were sold, while. Che Adams and Stuart Armstrong left on free transfers.

Southampton decide to take a gamble by largely replacing them with a group of youngsters – such as. Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Cameron Archer – who simply have not gelle, despite their potential.

Other than Aaron Ramsdale and Matheus Fernandes, there is arguably not another Southampton player who would get into the starting XI of any other Premier League team with stars like Will Smallbone looking miles out of his depth.

Southampton’s problems go well beyond their squad, though. The club decide to sack their manager Russell Martin in December and replace him with Ivan Juric, a call which has proven to be an absolute disaster.
