I do remember when
Southampton got its nod to Premiership, as well its struggle’s and odd results,
which almost netted this squad a return to the relegation zone.
When clubs promoted from
England’s Championship tier and their celebratory hangover, it’s when things
get a little edgy and seen as a wake-up call.
That was something
that Argentina’s former player sensation Mauricio Pochettino, took over a
project going to crumble, as well destined for the infamous relegation or
Championship League.
Fortunately for the Saint
Mary’s clan, the Andean not only saved this club from disaster as well rescue
it, for its salvation and permanency in England’s top rated league Premiership.
Seeing a total transformation
into the next campaign by creating a more spectacular and dynamic game as well giving
the opportunity to new players to test the edgy waters of this league.
Something that became
fruitful in his tenure at Saint Mary’s by building an overall contender that
once disputed the European positions and finished eighth in the overall table.
Not bad for a squad limited
in its monies to buy marquee players, but in the case of the Saints, after their
Manager success that became evident of his services being hired by a bigger
entity.
This campaign has
seen the legacy left by this man wonders in the field as well the jewels or
diamonds in the rough that he polished and now are becoming other squads top of
the line reinforcements.
With the likes of
Luke Shaw being a rookie and just eighteen years old and netted his first international
cap at the past World Cup in Brazil with England, by becoming a Red Devil this
player will delight many at Old Trafford.
Brendan Rodgers
Liverpool skipper that only his sights are set on Saint Mary’s roster, by
signing Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren- as well looking into
another Saints sensation in striker Jay Rodriguez.
Mark Hughes the Villains
Manager took to Villa the likes of Tom Legget and Isaac Nehemie to strengthen
his attack at Villa Park.
And last and not
least Calum Chambers will highlight the Gunners and French Skipper Wegner
attack at Emirates as well another eighteen year old lad to come out the halls
of Saint Mary’s.
If Pochettino would
left Saint Mary’s, what would happened, a lot of wonderful things if not
fighting for a European position if not getting it at the end of the campaign, pity,
but that’s football the big fish eats the smaller one.
One hell of a project
the Argentina former player sensation and now Manager built in short time at Southampton,
now it’s the blessing of others!
