The Saints parted company with Hughes in December but he graces February 2019’s page. Some fans took matters into their own hands.
As any passionate football fan will tell you, one of the main issues with clubs producing calendars is that, come February, one of more entries could have become outdated, given the January transfer window and the year-long prospect of managerial casualties.
Southampton’s 2019 calendar has fallen victim to this, given Ralph Hasenhuttl replaced Mark Hughes in December – with the Welshman being pictured as February’s entry – while senior players such as Steven Davis, Manolo Gabbiadini, Wesley Hoedt and Cedric Soares have all left the club.
Notable discrepancies, aside from February, include March, in which Hoedt and Cedric feature alongside Oriol Romeu, April, with Davis pictured alongside Stuart Armstrong and Jan Bednarek, and July when Gabbiadini shares the page with Shane Long and Jannik Vestergaard.
