Saints fans felt Premier League relegation was a certainty under Jones who has been sacked after a ludicrously awful three months in charge
Most of them are already convinced that their club will be relegated and that they deserve it. That’s nonsense, really: Southampton have more than 40 per cent of their league season remaining and, as Jones was sacked, they were four points from safety.
That is the only positive flipside to the madness of what just happened. Jones struggled so much and so immediately that there is still time to save this season. Had he limped on for much longer, only for it to eventually end where it always seemed likely to end, relegation would be a certainty. It’s a heck of an epitaph on your reign: it was such a bad time, but at least it wasn’t a long time.history.
