Ivan Juric’s relationship with a number of Southampton gamers is turning into more and more strained, talkSPORT understands.
The Saints are heading in the direction of the Championship and are all-time low of the Premier League with simply 9 factors.

Juric changed Russell Martin in December and signed an 18-month take care of the membership.
Nonetheless, that new supervisor bounce by no means got here and he has received only one Premier League recreation out of 10. That was to fellow strugglers Ipswich who got here up with them from the Championship final season.
talkSPORT reported in January that there’s a break clause within the 49-year-old’s contract that would see him go away in the summertime.
That state of affairs has not modified and we might see one other new supervisor within the St Mary’s dugout at first of the 2025/26 season.

That man may very well be Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl.
Rohl was a prime goal when Juric was employed again in December, however the Saints baulked on the £5million buyout clause.
Nonetheless, relations between Rohl and controversial Wednesday proprietor Dejphon Chansiri have since deteriorated.
He has labored on the St Mary’s earlier than and was Ralph Hassenhuttl’s assistant on the membership.
Relegation appears to already be a foregone conclusion for the Saints because the sit a large 13 factors off Wolves.
Southampton want three extra factors to surpass Derby’s record-low Premier League factors tally of 11.

Alex Criminal’s verdict
It is a season that is by no means actually bought began for Southampton and credit score to their supporters who’ve nonetheless been singing when the Saints go marching in. Properly, it is when the Saints go marching down, is not it?
They have completely no probability of staying up 9 factors from 27 video games. They could nearly handle to complete forward of Derby when it comes to staving off the specter of a brand new document low factors tally within the Premier League nevertheless it is not a given.
In the event that they hold leaking targets with the regularity they’re in the mean time they will concede greater than 90 by the top of the season.
I nonetheless keep it was unfair and a bit classless the best way that former supervisor Russell Martin was hounded out by some Southampton followers having taken them to promotion final season.
They’ve stumbled upon Ivan Juric. He is misplaced 9 of his ten video games in cost. They introduced in a supervisor who’s the polar reverse of Russell.
He due to this fact is not married as much as the squad and philosophy in any respect. I do not perceive the appointment. I do not see why they thought this man was going to show issues round. I might be amazed if he was nonetheless the supervisor for the beginning of subsequent season.

They’ve already appointed Simon Rusk as a extra senior member of administration. I believe that may very well be step one in the direction of Ivan Juric being compelled out of the soccer membership and I believe it is a disastrous appointment.
Tyler Dibbling is clearly their most gifted outfield participant, bhis confidence has completely gone by means of the ground since Juric, who’s a little bit of an old-school disciplinary supervisor, got here in.
I believe Sport Republic have made a proper shambles of it to be sincere.
