Now we know exactly how long Southampton will take to make a press release. – An hour after Tottenham thrashed Southampton 5-0, the confirmation came that manager Russell Martin had been sacked.
Absolutely no one is surprised by the sacking, the only thing that surprised is that the bottom team in the Premier League waited so long. In the 16th round, they have collected a measly 5 points.
Wolverhampton manager Gary O’Neil, who lost to Ipswich Town at the Molineux Stadium with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the stands on Saturday, was also sacked.
The loss against Tottenham is just one in a series of recent losses. Five defeats in the last six games is the answer for the team that is at the very bottom of the Premier League.
U21 coach Simon Rusk will take over on an interim basis, the club writes further. His first game will be against Liverpool at the opposite end of the table next week.
