Southampton's owners will grant manager Ralph Hasenhuttl more time to turn things around.
Hasenhuttl has been in charge since December 2018 and only three current Premier League managers have held their post for longer.
Sport Republic were in attendance on Saturday to see Saints fall to a third successive defeat when Everton came from behind to win 2-1.
They backed Hasenhuttl in their first off-season and replaced three first-team coaches, signing 10 players with nine joining the first-team squad for this Premier League campaign.
The Athletic report it is unlikely the club will sack Hasenhuttl imminently, despite their claim some within the club believe he is on borrowed time.
