Depending on how the next bloke turns out, this could be a win-win for everyone. Puel can point to the stats of a decent Premier League season and a cup final. His stint at Saints may well have enhanced his career.
He (naturally) took a while to get the team playing to his system, which unfortunately coincided with the European games. After that, the team seemed OK, he seemed to be making the right tactical decisions and I particularly remember Man City away when the home fans were booing their own team. He lost his way in the second half of the season though, and the trajectory has definitely been downhill. Not sure whether he knew what was going to happen (and therefore lost interest), or whether he had run out of ideas and lost the team; but the last few games were diabolical.
His English-speaking and communication skills (a bit like Poch) were always going to make it difficult to win over the fans. Once they turned against him, that was probably the sealer.
