Controversial new chairman Ralph Krueger has today made his first big decision as the chairman and has decided to sack former manage Mauricio Pochettino. The change has come as a surprise for many as Pochettino has been on fine form when managing the club.

Krueger has not made it clear to the media as of why he has decided to do this. Many feel that the new chairman doesnt know hat he is doing any many fans have already been outside the stadium protesting about the departure Pochettino.

Now we can only speculate on who will be hired in the new position, Sky bet have Andre villas boas down as favourite at 2-1 also at 6-1 is Giovanni Trapattoni there is lastly at 10-1 the mainly unknown figure of Matthew Hamilton who has made his reputation after winning the Uefa Youth League as manager of Southampton EDS.Many fans are in favour of Villas boas taking charge but some have a suspicion that Hamilton is in with a chance of taking over the helm at St.Marys.

Good luck mate!

Hamilton In

New manager Matthew Hamilton has been appointed into the Southampton managerial role, The 43 year old has a vast wealth of experience at youth level but has not had the chance to show his worth on the big stage as of yet. Hamilton has been placed into the Job on a One year rolling contract.

Hamilton has told the media that he is extremely pleased to have been given the opportunity to take over the helm at St Marys. New Chairman Ralph Krueger has pushed away any concerns regarding Hamiltons experience and has told the press that he has full confidence in him and feel that he can help them achieve their goals this season.

Hamilton is coming into a very youthful squad with a lot of potential. The new manager has reportedly been giving minimum funding for transfers after the club paid out big fees in the recent past for players like Wanyama and Ramirez.

The fans are happy with the appointment and the majority hope he can emulate the success he had with the youth squad with the 1st team, Hamiltons first competitive match will be in the league with an Home game against spurs which will be on Sky Sports 1 on the 12 of August.

Hamilton has been welcomed into the league by the other managers with open arms with many seeing it as an interesting appointment and they are looking forward to seeing what he can bring to the table, Jose Mourinho has said that he thinks hamilton will be a good manager in the future but he just needs to find his feet first.

Good luck !

A pretty good pre-season. Good luck for the coming season.
