Southampton could make quick decision over Mark Hughes’ future after Premier League clash with Fulham
Southampton could make a quick decision over Mark Hughes’ future as manager this weekend.The Saints are in worrying form having not won a Premier League game since September 1.3

Southampton last tasted victory in the league at Crystal Palace

They are 17th in the table and only avoiding the relegation zone on goal difference and a defeat against fellow strugglers Fulham on Saturday could spell the end of Hughes’ time at St Mary’s.According to the Daily Mail, officials at the south coast club believe they made a mistake in backing previous manager Mauricio Pellegrino when results were not good enough.They turned to former player Hughes who just about steered them away from the Championship last season.And if the results continue to be bad, the Saints hierarchy are conscious not to make the same mistake again and keep the faith for too long. Their last game saw them only manage a 1-1 draw at home to Watford, however, they were unfortunate to have a goal scored by Charlie Austin ruled out.The striker made a sensational post-match outburst insisting that VAR needed to be brought into the Premier League which went viral after an internet prankster dubbed his words with the song Parklifeby Blur.Fulham took action last week by bringing in Claudio Ranieri to replace Slavisa Jokanovic.Saints’ main problem this campaign has been scoring goals. They’ve found the net just eight times all season with only Huddersfield scoring fewer times.3

Austin’s spectacular rant went viral on social media

Hughes’ position was weakened by the club’s decision to sack director of football Les Reed, who appointed the Welshman and was his closest ally on the board, earlier this month.The clash at Craven Cottage is a crucial one for Saints as they have a difficult December ahead – facing Tottenham, Manchester United and Manchester City.3

Could Hughes be the Premier League’s second managerial casualty this season?
