Season summary

The move to St Mary's Stadium was seen as the way forward for Southampton after 103 years at the dilapidated Dell, but a terrible start to the season saw relegation looking certain and cost manager Stuart Gray his job after barely six months in charge. His successor was Gordon Strachan, who had just left Coventry City. Strachan quickly turned Southampton's fortunes round, and they gradually climbed to a secure 11th place in the final table.

At the end of the season, Matthew Le Tissier retired, bringing to an end his 16-year playing career for Southampton. He remained at the club as a coach.
