After a bruising week that saw Will Still and his staff depart, Southampton look like they’re finally finding their footing. Caretaker coach Tonda Eckert stepped up and steered the first team to a victory over QPR but is one result enough to land him the job permanently?
This week:
• QPR Review – A victory but not a lot of glory for The Saints
• Does Eckert have what it takes to lead the team?
• Russell Martin is bookies favourite to replace Still, but who else is in the running?
• Sheffield Wednesday Preview - Can The Saints pull off two wins in a row for the first time in over a year?

Southampton have sacked Will Still.
The club confirmed on Sunday evening that the Men’s First-Team Manager, along with Rubén Martinez, Clément Lemaitre and Carl Martin, has left the club, with U21 Head Coach Tonda Eckert taking charge on an interim basis.
Group Technical Director Johannes Spors said: “Will is a great person who gave everything to try and improve performances and results. Ultimately, that process has taken longer than any of us would have liked…”
With that seismic news breaking just as we started recording, Episode 339 of the Total Saints Podcast is packed.
This week:
• Preston Review – Saints beaten 2-0 at St Mary’s, drop to 21st in the table, and the atmosphere turns toxic.
• Players arguing with fans, boos echoing around the ground, and Will Still’s post-match admission: “There isn’t an instant fix.”
• Comparing this slump to 2008/09 – is this as bad as it gets?
• Reaction to the club’s managerial statement and the growing unrest around Sport Republic.
• QPR Preview – two fixtures that were supposed to define Will Still’s future… before fate intervened.
Join Martin Starke, Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour, and Alfie House as they unpack a chaotic week on and off the pitch.

⚠️ Light language warning – a few choice words in this one!
Welcome to Episode 338 of the Total Saints Podcast – your home for all things Southampton Football Club!
Plenty to cover this week:
• Bristol City Review – Another trip to Ashton Gate, another 3–1 defeat. Back-to-back losses two seasons apart, and over 50 years since we’ve taken a point there. What went wrong after such a bright start?
• Blackburn Review – A week that somehow got worse. Saints arrived at Ewood Park sitting 18th, faced one of the few sides below them… and still managed to lose. Was this Will Still’s lowest moment yet?
• Selection Chaos & Substitution Madness – Four changes, early saves from McCarthy, a straight-red for Welington, and fans chanting “You don’t know what you’re doing”. The pressure is building – hard.
• Preston Preview – Saints return to St Mary’s next Saturday, desperate for a reaction. But with suspensions, illness and injuries mounting… where’s the next win coming from?
We also touch on:
• Forum frustration and calls for change
• Juventus reportedly eyeing up Saints’ sporting director Johannes Spors
All that and more, plus the latest from our Prediction League and your usual dose of Saints therapy from Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House, guest hosted this week by Neil Crespin.

Welcome to Episode 337 of the Total Saints Podcast – your home for all things Southampton Football Club!
Plenty to cover this week:
• Swansea Review – Another frustrating afternoon at St Mary’s as Saints were held to a goalless draw by Swansea. Will Still called it “one of our best performances of the season,” but was it really? 21 shots, 3.26 xG, and still no goal — we break it all down.
• Bristol City Preview – A tricky midweek trip to Ashton Gate. Can Saints finally turn dominance into points and end their run of home draws?
• Blackburn Preview – Another away day follows on Saturday, with Rovers struggling near the bottom. Is this the perfect chance to build some momentum?
• Plus, we catch up on Saints Women in the League Cup and check in on how the Prediction League is shaping up!
Featuring Martin Starke, Steve Grant (SaintsWeb), Glen de la Cour (League One Minus 10), and Alfie House (Daily Echo).

Welcome to Episode 329 of the Total Saints Podcast – your home for all things Southampton Football Club!
The Will Still era hit its first bump, as Saints fell to league leaders Stoke City in a frustrating defeat made worse by failing to make more than half an hour against ten men count. We pick apart what went wrong, who still shone, and what the result tells us about Still’s early blueprint.

Welcome to Episode 324 of the Total Saints Podcast, your home for all things Southampton FC!
We’re back (briefly!) for a one-off summer check-in — and there’s plenty to talk about.
Alfie shares what it was like interviewing Southampton investor Dragan Šolak for the Daily Echo, and we pick through the big talking points that came out of it: Rasmus and Henrik’s roles, the club’s financial stance and transfer strategy. If you're interested in reading Alfie's interview, you can find that here - https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/25246799.dragan-solak-interview-southampton-owner-opens-sale-rumours/
There’s also news of redevelopment plans around the stadium, chat about the current state of the squad (including Ramsdale, Tall Paul, and Sulemana), and a quick look at the transfer rumours swirling around ahead of pre-season.
Plus, some quick thoughts on England’s Euro campaign — and how we’re feeling about Saints’ prospects in the Championship this season.

In this bonus episode of Total Saints Podcast, FootballMartin (aka Martin Sanders) chats with a journalist from Get French Football News to get the full lowdown on Will Still — the man set to become Southampton’s new manager.
Together, they explore Still’s rise through the ranks in Belgium and France, his time at Reims and Lens, and whether he’s the right fit for Saints. What’s his playing style? How does he lead? And why are some fans unsure?
