They don't really rate him. After blowing a large part of the budget on Mad Nate, SR are reluctant to give Marsch a longer contract. It's about saving money, they believe the club is going down anyway.

Farewell Jesse, we hardly knew ye.

3 months in the Prem was enough to make Mad Nate a national superstar.

The Guardian miss him already. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/feb/14/nathan-joness-exit-robs-us-of-the-funniest-manager-in-premier-league-history

Isn't the most likely outcome Ankersen appointing someone most people haven't heard of? He seems to appreciate low-profile managers from the lower leagues, and if they play the old-school English way, even better.

Also about the Torino man: "Jurić is a self-described metalhead, with a passion for death metal music in particular. In the 2010 interview with the Italian edition of Rolling Stone, he cited Napalm Death, Obituary, Carcass, Death as some of his favorite artists"

If it becomes a case of "show us your medals", Marsch could point to: Coaching: New York Red Bulls Supporters' Shield: 2015, 2018 Red Bull Salzburg, Austrian Bundesliga: 2019–20, 2020–21 Austrian Cup 2019–20, 2020–21 Individual: MLS Coach of the Year 2015

With the message ”Angry Nate is a tosser”?

The performances on the pitch could be enough to sack him but it looks like SR are too proud to act quickly. But after those embarrassing interviews yesterday the board may have no other choice than to get rid now. Jones actually talked himself out of the job.

But this is the new manager bounce. In a few weeks when the bounce wears off, NJ may lose some of his initial appeal and the players may no longer perform at the top of their potential.

From the next 5 games I’d expect Saints to get at least 5 points, possibly 7 or even 9. Win against Forest, draw w Fulham and Everton (maybe win against one of them), lose to Villa and Brentford. 7 points should be enough to move up to 18th or so. If NJ can achieve that he should be safe for now.

And if NJ can’t take charge and decide even such a thing, he won’t last long.

Did he mention God in the post-game interview today? Maybe God just doesn’t like Saints.

Sack him now and sack him hard.

That’s why he’s Anus Maitland Niles.
