It’s a no-brainier for me, the players clearly want to play for him.

What a great result. Has made the board’s decision on the next manager an easy one.

That's the way I see it. It's always in the manager's interest to have as long a contract as possible - it's money in the bank. It's looking very likely that we will go down but there probably is a good enough team in that squad to maybe stay up, problem is Jones has left us in a right cluster-fuck of a mess. He didn't ever know what his best team was or formation. All we knew was that Bazunu, JWP and if fit KWP would start, after that it was just a lottery.

Since when does a manager's contract make any difference to how long they stay at a club for? We could hand him a 10 year contract and he will still be gone in the summer if he is a disaster, or could still be at a bigger club by June if he's brilliant.

A short term contract makes sense for both Saints and Marsch, we all know what happens next year depends on wether we go down or not.

There's a limit to who would come here in out current situation so whoever we get is going to be a gamble. Marsch doesn't seem like a bad fit to me. Anyone but Lampard.

Don’t forget the bell-ends who didn’t want Eddie Howe because he can’t sign good players.

Whoever we get you can guarantee one thing. Cunts on here will moan.

No one good will want the job so we might as well get Gerrard or Marsch in for the remainder of the season then plan long term in the Championship next year.

Ah, you’re a contrarian.

That’s with having our best player fit again as well. Jones has well and truly fucked us. Sacking Ralph and appointing this clown is up there with the Puel debacle.

No different to Pochettino.

I think we are past that stage to be honest. We are at home to a team that has managed one away win all season (and that was against Everton). We've spent a lot of money, if Jones can't get his new improved 'uncompromised' side to get three points in this match we might as well give up and accept relegation.

Just excuses for failure. There was obviously money to spend and we were a much bigger draw in the summer than we are now.

I think with Adams, Armstrong and Mara as the striker options we would be the shittest in the Prem regardless of the manager.

We need to get an impact manager in now because we really are touching cloth. No trying to be clever or thinking long term. Just get someone in with some knowhow who will lift the players, get them organised and working as a team.

More chance of me getting a tug-job off Anna Kendrick than Frank leaving Brentford for us. Not sure why it’s even being discussed.

The 90 out of 92 stat is pointless, we were the shittest team in the Prem over the year because once Broja downed tools we didn’t have a goalscorer at the club. Comparing our record to league 2 clubs is meaningless.

Dragon needs to give all this lot the bullet. Completely clueless.

He really does talk a load of shite. Read between the lines and he is basically saying he hasn’t got a fucking clue how to manage at this level. What a surprise.

Why on earth are people suggesting Selles takes the job? He been up to his nuts in the shite we’ve been watching the last year, get someone new in to give us a slight chance.

It's just mental that we can blow all that cash and still end up with Walcott on the pitch. Dragon needs to get shot of these SR clowns ASAP.

Clueless cunt just rolling the dice.

I'd have Ralph back over this cunt anyday.

So were Everton's, until they brought in a manager who knew what he was doing.
