Nathan Jones admits he has regrets over his short spell in charge of Southampton.

Defeat to Fulham yesterday confirmed Southampton's relegation.

Jones left Luton for Southampton, but lasted just three months. Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "I've had a lot of time to reflect, as I always do. I wanted to go there and be successful. That wasn't the case, and if you're not successful it's important that you learn.

"I've reflected on my time and looked at things I would've done differently. It's one of those things and it's been a big learning curve for me."

Asked if he would have kept the club up, Jones said: "Whatever I answer, I feel that's a bit of a loaded question.

"All I know is that had I got the results, I would've kept improving the team because of the work we do. I believe in the work we do but it is difficult to say as the last thing I want is another headline."

On what he would have done differently, the 49-year-old added: "There are a lot of things - I wouldn't want to go into them now, but certainly things when I first arrived. It's a wonderful club and I felt I had the trust of the owners.

"I just wish I could've bought myself a bit more time in order to implement what I wanted to and what they wanted me to implement."
