The future of Ruben Selles is yet to be decided, but it seems that the media have made their decision and that is Saints will be looking to appoint a new manager sooner than later and they have put two big names forward.
The two names that the media think will make a good fit for the St Mary's job are Brendan Rodgers and Graham Potter.
They are of course the obvious names to link, both made their names in bringing through raw talent and both have Premier League experience.
Brendan Rodgers is the surprise name in the hat though given that for the last decade he has spent it managing both Liverpool and Celtic, as well as Leicester City with whom he won the FA Cup and Community Shield while also managing them in UEFA Europa League.
From a distance you would think that he would be casting his net a bit higher when selecting his next club, would he really want a season in the Championship or would he prefer a club in the Premier League.
Ex Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys feels that he is the man for the job.
"I think [Brendan] Rodgers has got to be looking at Southampton now, which is a fantastic job for somebody," he told Casinos En Ligne.
"Wonderful part of the world. Great club, good structure. So I think Brendan [Rodgers] or Graham Potter, perhaps, should be thinking of Southampton or Leicester for Graham. They’ll both come again, but not at a big club. But it didn't surprise me at all that Brendan and Leicester decided to part company."
I am not so sure that Keys is right, certainly in the case of Rodgers he has the CV to land a decent Premier league job and if West ham stay up and start badly next season then David Moyes could well be leaving the Hammers for a second time.
Potter perhaps does not have the pedigree that Rodgers has, but I think there will still be a few clubs who would offer him a job and Key's is right when he says Leicester might well be one of them.
Leeds surviving could also mean an opportunity for both of them.
As it stands at the moment Keys is right, Saints will be seen in the game as a club who can bounce right back to the Premier League, although some Saints fans claim the club is rotten from top to bottom, I think they are a little off the mark and that we have the foundations of a good squad in place who will stay at the club next season with the addition of a decent transfer budget from the sale of some key players.
The speculation has started as to who will manage Saints next season, the actual rebuild won't be far behind.
