A proven Championship boss associated with Southampton rumors feels heard, right? It is. Factoring this, ex-Championship winner Jobi McAnuff encourages Danny Rohl for a Saints challenge ahead.
As a football fan, do you remember any two event sequences that made you say, "I have seen this one before"? Well, though rare, some storylines do recreate themselves even in European football.
Not agreed yet? See, how a recent build-up is replicating a part of Southampton's past.
Ok, let's cut short the suspense, it's Danny Rohl's Saints rumors initiating memories of ex-boss Russell Martin's Southampton arrival.
You might remember the scenes exactly two years ago. A helpless Southampton side sits in the relegation zone, sure to go down in the Championship next season.
Simultaneously, rumors of an emerging figure in Swansea, boss Russell Martin, are all over St. Mary's.
Now, given Southampton's uncertain management future, Danny Rohl's return talks reciprocate exactly similar circumstances.
But if that wasn't enough overlapping, Rohl is tipped to clone Russell Martin's Championship success at Southampton. This is per ex-title holder Jobi McAnuff, who believes the Sheffield Wednesday boss will be a massive success at the Saints.
As quoted by The72, McAnuff opined on Rohl's rumors, saying: "Would make a lot of sense (going to Southampton) for me with the rebuild they will definitely need after their season in the Premier League. He’s experienced at Championship level, knows the club as well so it makes a lot of sense."
A return of another of Ralph Hasenhuttl's colleagues, Danny Rohl, Southampton looks rebuilding right? Well, it does, but needless to say, this comes with a ton of expectations from the St. Mary's faithful.
While Rohl is to imitate ex-boss Martin's Championship season, better would be expected from him in the next Premier League campaigns.
Still, there's time to that for sure. Let's first see how soon Danny Rohl's Southampton links materialize practically.
