The truth is out. Kyle Walker Peters says that Ruben Selles has improved them 'massively' since joining the club as a coach.
He's up and in the technical area within a minute of kick off, barking instructions into Hassenhutl's clueless ear.
This is where the vast improvement has come from, nothing to do with Hassenhutl, all he's good at is bizarre ideas and talking shite. |  | | |  |

Hughes managed Saints in two FA cup ties, one in the quarter finals when we beat Wigan and the other the semi final against Chelsea, so I wouldn't say he had a better record than Ralph.
You say we had a plum semi final tie, we played Leicester who finished in 5th place only one point behind Chelsea whom they beat in the final also 1-0.
It is very convenient to use the "we didn't have a shot on target" line to slag off Ralph, but truth was that was the game Leicester played, sat with everyone behind the ball and tried to catch us on the break, they scored from a shot going wide and hitting Vestergaard to set up their only shot on target in the game too.
Likewise in the final they scored the only goal of the game from their only shot on target as well, the fact that we had lost 9-0 to them 18 months earlier was neither here nor there, just 2 1/2 months after that defeat we beat them 2-1 in the League at their place and we had also lost 2-0 up there a few months before the semi final, that game seeing them only get their 2nd in injury time as we pushed forward.
So Ralph had no reason to feat Leicester when we went to Wembley, fact is they stopped us getting in chances on target as they did against Chelsea in the final.
You keep harping on about the 9-0 defeat, individual defeats are just that , the bigger picture matters more.
Lawrie McMenemy's teams usually got a thrashing at least once a season, how did he keep his job in 1980 when we got beaten 7-1 away by 2nd division Watford , if you were around then were you calling for him to be sacked ?
Back in 2020, whilst you are right we lost the 2 League games prior to lockdown, we had also beaten Villa at home in the one prior to that and then before that lost 2 (One at league leaders Liverpool) prior to that we had won 5 drawn 1 and lost only once in the previous 7, so to recap, in the 12 games up to lockdown we had won 6 drawn 1 and lost 5 games , 19 points from 12 games hardly a rot
Sorry but you will look for any excuse to slag off Hasenhuttl, I can accept that you have the right to do that, but what i find hard to accept is that, you also have blamed the previous owners for a lack of investment, that was a major part of our lack of consistency in Ralph's first 3 years, now that has changed but you can't give the manager a chance to show he can do things now the purse strings have been loosened, if things go well there is always a reason that doesn't involve Ralph, when we got dicked at Spurs in the first game, it was Ralph's fault not his new coaching staff lol
Just give him a chance to show that he has what it takes, he kept us in the Premier League with virtually no money or coaching staff give him some credit |
Apologies Nick I was just winding up some one on this thread for a bit of fun, using my 250 a day free messages  [Post edited 12 Sep 2022 15:40]

Got dicked at Spurs because he refused to listen to the coaching staff.
0-2 against Leeds and he knew he had to listen when Selles had seen enough and told him so.
Arrogant, stubborn and clueless, | | | |

Let’s see where we are after the next 2 games.
A point at Villa and 3 versus Everton will be nice.
2 defeats and….?
I’d like to see a clean sheet at some point too. |  |

A defeat last night is disappointing due to the way we played and Villa being no better than us.
Everton at home now is a big game.
As PatFromPoole rightly said on our subdued journey back from the second city last night, “we do well at home to Everton and Everton do well at home to us.”
Looking further ahead, Man City away, West Ham home then Bournemouth away.
Man City is zero points.
West Ham, depends on what WH team turn up but still I don’t think we should be losing at home to them.
Then on to Bournemouth.
4 defeats in the next 4 then surely something has to change.
I’m sorry but Hassenhüttl’s excuse book has been used now.
This team should be getting at least a point from the Villa, Everton and Bournemouth games.
Not zero.
The clock is ticking Alpine Klopp. | |

My comment September 12th 2022 - Selles should have been given the job then. | | | |

Ah, a quote from Hassenhutl's training sessions. |
"Hassenhutl's clueless ear."
That would be the bloke who took a team in Germany to the CL and, somehow, kept us in the PL despite zero support from the owners, selling Ings a week before a new season started, etc.
Ralph had definitely ran his race with us but was anything but clueless. If you needed any proof of that just look at how we played in the 'project restart' games after lockdown when we had the 3rd best form in the league over those games or how we played when we got to top of the league 3 months into the season, the win against Spurs at WHL, etc. |  |
