A team known to once have one of the top academies in the English Premier League, now is making a sorry state in every season, battling the demons of relegation.For second year man Ralph Hasenhüttl, the challenges will abound for the Austrian looking forward to restore this club fighting attitude as well competition lost in the past.
However, for a manager Hasenhüttl to overcome last season mediocre run and 16th place finish, the need to step up the Saints game will be one of his utmost goals and looking forward for a more memorable finish.
As Hasenhüttl will be looking for a European spot and a finish among the top seven spots.
Too much to ask a side like Southampton, I doubt it as this side has been a belligerent one and tough to play against in the course of the season when they have their best game in the field.
Do not underestimate this squad as they can be seen as spoilers and can carry an upset over any of the league so- called giants, as they do not fall that easily and this 2019-20, they'll will be looking to restore their old glories.
In addition of building a contender the idea is to get this squad best of its academy and give these players a chance in the big squad, you never know what will come out these lads.
Still a squad not known for its big budget, but with the eye to identify young talent to come to Saint Mary's, by far the Saints have brought just three players in the transfers market.
The arrival of Che Addams from Birmingham City for 15 million, Danny Ings- Liverpool 20 million and Moussa Djenepo 14 million, the outlook of this club new owners not holding on their new talent.
As the transfers market is still open for four more weeks, will Southampton add a player or two, the question stays in the air but by far these threesome will do for Hasenhüttl new game plan.
A finish above the top ten squads is somehow a successful run for any of the sides considered as small but in the end can play one on one against any of the league giants, but a successful campaign will be a European spot and top seven finish.
