Following the earlier speculation about Mark Hughes and the Southampton hotseat, it’s now being said talks have been opened with the former Stoke City gaffer.

The BBC reported this afternoon that the club had now opened formal talks with Hughes and it was expected there would be announcement later this evening as obviously the club want Mauricio Pellegrino’s replacement in quickly after he was sacked following one win in 17 games and our place in the Premier League table.

With the upcoming FA Cup Sixth Round tie against Wigan Athletic this weekend, we need our new gaffer to bed in quickly to deal with that tie and hopefully give the fans something to cheer about as we then turn our attentions to Premier League survival.

With fans split on whether or not Hughes would be a good appointment, he’s got to be worth a shot at stability with 445 games under his belt and whilst he won’t be everyone’s cup of tea – which manager ever is?

What matters are results at the end of the day.
