The only thing missing now is the big, fat R next to Southampton’s name in the Premier League standings. A drenched Ruben Selles trotted over to the away end with a look of guilt - he knows his work has not been enough to keep this team in the Premier League.
It would be unfair to blame Selles for this monumental mess of a season. He’s just one of three men to occupy the hot-seat and none of them won more than three league games, while questions will be asked of the previously sound recruitment department.
