Will Still, Southampton Tonda Eckert is likely to acquire a permanent position in Southampton. Eckert took over after Still’s departure, and he has overseen two victories, with the Saints picking up three points against QPR before defeating Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 on Saturday. It appears that he has done enough to persuade the hierarchy that Eckert is the correct guy for the long run, as TalkSPORT writer Alex Crook has stated that he is now ‘anticipated’ to be named permanent head coach. It’s unclear whether this is true, but it’s a possibility. Obviously, that was a significant discussion point among the fan base, and given the focus on the owners, it appears like a major risk considering the 32-year-old’s lack of experience, which was the first factor raised by this point…
Meanwhile, this fan stated that two games is insufficient sample size to make such a significant choice.
Another emphasized how risky this is for Sport Republic, given the amount of pressure they are under from the supporters.
This supporter characterized the scenario as’make or break’ for the owners.
Finally, this supporter indicated why he believes the owners are causing a problem in hiring a high-level, experienced manager.
Southampton must do this next management decision properly. Southampton fans, as one would imagine, are upset with the way the club has behaved over the years, with numerous poor decisions from the top adding to their problems.

Southampton FC, St. Mary’s Stadium. So, while choosing Eckert would be a risky move, it does not mean that he is not the best candidate for the job. He is clearly well regarded as a coach, and he has demonstrated in the last two games that he can produce success with this bunch. That isn’t enough time to fully appraise him, but sporting director Johannes Spors has watched Eckert work on a daily basis, so his judgement must be believed. Given his track record, Southampton fans will understandably be concerned, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out if Eckert is given the job on a long-term basis.
