Southampton sack Will Still after 13 Championship matches

On Sunday, Southampton Football Club confirmed it had parted ways with men’s first team manager Will Still after five months, making him the seventh manager dismissed under owners Sport Republic.
A run of defeats against Preston North End, Blackburn Rovers and Bristol City led to Saints sitting 21st with 12 points after 13 games, having won just two league matches since Still arrived.
Removing several coaches, the club also confirmed Rubén Martinez, Clément Lemaitre and Carl Martin have left, while Tonda Eckert will take interim charge as the team heads to QPR on Wednesday.
Under the current owners, Sport Republic have appointed five managers since sacking Ralph Hasenhuttl, while supporters have called for ownership change and sing `sack the board`.
With the club 16 points behind league leaders Coventry, Johannes Spors' spending has not noticeably improved the squad ahead of fixtures against QPR on Wednesday and Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
