The angry response by Southampton fans to their club announcing that tickets for next month’s away game at Old Trafford are for sale suggests that Everton have got it right with their appointment of Sean Dyche when trying to salvage their Premier League status.
Southampton’s official account sent out a tweet at 9:32am today stating: “Tickets for March’s trip to #MUFC are now on sale to eligible #SaintsFC Season Ticket holders.”
Replies to the post were dominated by a #JonesOUT graphic, which was repeated by numerous Southampton fans. Welshman Jones, from the small mining village of Blaenrhondda in the Rhondda Valley, only replaced Ralph Hasenhuttl on November 10 when he ended his second stint in charge of Luton Town (he had a 10-month spell at Stoke City during 2019 in between) to come to St Mary’s.
