According to BBC Sport, Southampton are reportedly set to appoint Mark Hughes as their new manager on Wednesday following the sacking of Mauricio Pellegrino on Monday night, and West Ham United fans have been quick to have their say on the rumour regarding their relegation rivals.
The Saints axed the Argentine boss following a run of just one win in 17 Premier League matches that has left them just one point above the Premier League relegation zone, with the experienced Hughes set to come in until the end of the season even though fans of the south coast outfit were keen on targeting Carlo Ancelotti.
Meanwhile, the Irons are just two points above the south coast outfit ahead of the meeting between the two clubs at the London Stadium on March 31, with both in real danger of dropping down into the Championship.
West Ham supporters were quick to have their say on Hughes potentially taking charge at St Mary’s, and while one said they “must be desperate”, another said “the 3 points are back on the board for us!”
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
