Southampton supporters have described waking up to the 'best news' following the sacking of Nathan Jones.
Jones, 49, was hired by the club following the departure of Ralph Hasenhuttl on the eve of the World Cup but struggled to ever get the supporters onside and his time at the club was marred by controversy and disconnect.
A controversial appointment from the outset, Southampton fans let it be known at various intervals what they thought of Jones - including one rather unsavoury moment at Crystal Palace in the FA Cup when a chant went up from the away end describing his football as 's***'.
