# Southampton: Fans react to Tony Pulis rumours

**Tony Pulis is reportedly holding out for a move to the Premier League with either Southampton or West Ham, report The Sun (via [Gazette Live](https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/former-middlesbrough-boss-tony-pulis-17272786)).**

The ex-Stoke City boss allegedly turned down the chance to take over at Cardiff City after the Bluebirds sacked Neil Warnock last week, as he is not interested in working for a Championship club.

Pulis’ last role was at Middlesbrough but it was far from successful. The 61-year-old failed to achieve promotion during his two-season stint in the north east, and was relieved of his duties at the end of last season after the club failed to finish in the play-off places.

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl had been rumoured for the [sack](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7615363/Southampton-ready-sack-manager-Ralph-Hasenhuttl-following-9-0-defeat-home-Leicester.html) after a terrible start to the season has seen the south coast club drop into the [bottom-three](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) after 12 games.

However, the Saints have confirmed that the Austrian’s job is [safe](https://talksport.com/football/628021/ralph-hasenhuttl-southampton-talksport/) and that he will not be replaced, making Pulis’ decision to wait for a move to the club seem a little pointless.

Here’s how some Southampton fans reacted to the news that Pulis was ‘keeping an eye’ on the current situation at St Mary’s:
