Just eight games into the new season, it looks like Southampton’s Ralph Hasenhuttl is about to become the fourth Premier League manager to be dismissed.
As revealed by The Telegraph, the 55-year-old is now ‘on the brink’ of losing his job at St Mary’s following a 2-1 defeat to Everton last weekend.

The Saints spent
They spent just shy of £75m over the summer, bringing in a host of young talents including Armel Bella-Kotchap, Romeo Lavia, Gavin Bazunu and Sekou Mara, but currently sit 16th in the table following a slow start to the season.
