According to British media Talksport, Southampton's top management has very serious differences on the issue of whether head coach Russell Martin should stay or go.
After 6 rounds of the Premier League, Southampton has 1 draw and 5 losses with only 1 point, ranking second from the bottom in the Premier League. The number of goals scored is only 3, which is the team with the fewest goals in the Premier League. The number of goals conceded is as high as 12, which is tied for the second most goals conceded in the Premier League.
It is reported that there are differences within the Southampton management on the issue of whether Russell Martin should stay or go. Russell Martin is facing pressure from the team's chairman Dragan Sholak, who is very dissatisfied with the result of only 1 point in the first 6 rounds.
However, Russell Martin has received the support of sports director Rasmus Ankelsen, who fully supports him to lead the team to reverse the decline. However, Ankelsen himself is also in trouble. Sources pointed out that Sholak is also evaluating Ankelsen.
Southampton will play away against Arsenal in the next round. Talksport believes that Southampton's situation will not improve in the short term.
