As I said on another thread yesterday.....
Hassenhutl was great for the first two years; he had the team pressing high up the pitch, and he got a lot out of players like Redmond, Stephens and Ward-Prowse, who all improved under him.
However, season 3 (coinciding with Rohl leaving??) and we stopped doing what had worked so well. We became slow and laborious on the ball and we didn't press up the pitch. The season started really well and we went top of the League, but ended on a real downer and you could see trouble looming.
And then that summer we sold Ings and were reliant on Armstrong, Adams and Mara for goals.
Hassenhutl lost his mojo, and probably needed a year or two out of the game to recharge his batteries and get rich in the meantime.
Fair play to him for what he has done at Wolfsburg, but he was a busted flush at Saints. |
Danny Rohl left Saints in the summer of 2019, so he was only at the club for around half the 2018/19 season after Hasenhuttl arrived in December 2018. We finished 16 that season.
In 2019/20 after his departure we finished 11th
Season 2021/22 heralded the first of two 15th positions, before the start of his 4th full season when he was sacked.
The problem was that Hasenhuttl was working with literally no transfer budget, as Gao was prevented from investing in the club by the Chinese government who after their spat with Trump banned foreign investment in Western sport.
You are right the crucial issue was when Ings left in August 2021 and we had to rely on Armstrong (2), Adams(7) & Broja(6) for goals in the Premier League.
Sekou Mara arrived at the start of 2022/23, when Hassenhuttl was indeed tired and shellshocked by wheeler dealing for the past two seasons.
Hasenhuttl deserves a lot of credit for the job he did at Saints in his 3 full seasons and 2 part seasons, Rohl was not as big an influence on our way of playing as you would think being here for only 5 months of the 2018/19 season | |

"Danny Rohl left Saints in the summer of 2019, so he was only at the club for around half the 2018/19 season after Hasenhuttl arrived in December 2018. We finished 16th that season.

With him as manager, Sheffield Wednesday finished 20th and are currently 14th and falling.
To call his record mediocre would be bordering on flattery. If we want to finish in the bottom half of the Championship, he's our man. I notice that the current Championship leaders' approach was somewhat different. They appointed a manager who'd won the Championship. [Post edited 15 Apr 11:26]

Interestingly, the odds have shortened dramatically on Gary O'Neill in the last few days. I assume he is out of a job, and has some connections in the south after managing Bournemouth. |  |
