Could Danny Rohl Return from Bayern Munich To Southampton !
Tuesday, 22nd Jun 2021 14:26

Speculation is rife that Ralph Hasenhuttl's former assistant at St Mary's Danny Rohl could be making a return to Saints after it was announced that he will be leaving Bayern Munich this summer.

Danny Rohl came to Southampton with Ralph Hasenhuttl in December 2018 and stayed for the remainder of that season before accepting an offer to join Bayern Munich in the summer of 2019.

There has often been concern amongst Saints supporters that since Rohl's departure that Ralph's coaching staff has lacked depth and experience with Dave Watson turning from goalkeeping coach to assistant coach with no real experience in that role, Kelvin Davies also becoming an assistant coach after being a club ambassador and Craig Fleming having had no experience above non league and academy level before being promoted in the summer of 2019 after Rohl's departure.

Now it seems Rohl will leave Bayern Munich after the German side announced that they agreed to a request from Rohl to terminate his contract.

There has been speculation in the German media that Rohl will soon join up with Hansi Flick as a coach with the German national team following this summer's European Championships, when his former boss will swap Bayern for the national side.

But that is only rumour at this time and there is no real indication of what Rohl's next move will be leading to speculation that it could be a return to England and a reunion with Ralph Hassenhuttl.

Richard Kitzbichler is the nearest Hasenhuttl has to a confidante and it was he who took over the reigns when the Austrian manager had to self isolate due to Covid 19, but he is more an analyst that coach and the general feeling is that the coaching staff is too light on experience and know how.

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
