Just like how Jones turned around Luton?

Just read that 11 premier league managers have managed to take at least one point at St. Mary’s, this season.

this does not include Nathan Jones despite his having been Southampton manager. 

[Convict Colony]

Life will be easier for everyone if we could skip past the:

I told you he was crap but was slated.

Previous manager apologists are dicks

Offer poch what he wants

Insert world class manager we should get him list.

Let's get back to reality, we are as attractive as Katie Price on a summer break with Harvey at home.

We are minging.

[ErwinK1961]

Not a chance in hell we’re staying up, so get someone in to try and install a bit of positivity for the promotion push next year.

If that’s Selles on a caretaker basis to end of season then so be it. New man to takeover in the summer when we might have a bit more choice in conjunction with the level we’re at.

The only Saints manager ever to not achieve a single league point on home turf.

Even Steve Wigley managed one home win (and it was against Pompey as well so should count double in his favour).

There’s only one man for this job, Neil Warnock. Out of work (I think) won’t take any shit from our la-di-da gunner Grahamesque son-in-law players, knows his way around the lower portion of the Premiership and a promotion record second to none in the unlikely event we went down under his stewardship. Really likeable fella as well, get him in.

But don’t challenge him to a ten pin bowling match.

Got a funny feeling its going to be Nuno. Spurs was too big a step but he done a fantastic job at Wolves.

Going from Spurs to the Championship would be a big drop off, but he might be persuaded

[Harry_SFC]

Marsch certainly wouldn't be my first choice but he did galvanise Leeds when he came in last season, so hoping he could have a similar effect here. I have seen Leeds a bit this season and they were decent in a fair few games (without necessarily getting the results, granted)

Would have been the perfect choice last November. A big stretch now but let’s hope so. 

[miserableoldgit]

Despite what the doomsters say, we are not dead and buried yet. We do have a half-decent squad. It could be seen as a good challenge, particularly for someone who wants to rebuild their reputation....

Would go for big Sam. Would scare the shit out of the squad and get them organised.

why cant we just appoint a manager that has not been a recent failure in the prem league

Expand  

4222 that gets found out, with no plan B?

Has a recent sacking on his CV?

Some cosy reminders of our recent past and decision making.

If his front footedness and aggression stats are good,he's in! 🙂

Next manager out!

No he didn’t. Read that Athletic article posted a page or so back. He would just be a slightly better than Jones appointment. 

[Southner]

Appoint an underwhelming manager, and he'll do well to keep fans off his back if performances/results don't improve quickly.

[woodsaint1]

As much as Marsch might be an ok appointment, our squad would hardly be inspired by somebody who has just got the sack from one of our relegation rivals. 

And our shithouse squad desperately needs inspired

[Lee On Solent Saint]

I doubt if we will be looking at an employed manager now

[SaintTex]

i think Nuno and Marsch are realistic and acceptable options/choices. I think i would favor Nuno more as we desperately need defenseive organization and a disciplined approach. Marsch is a bit more freewheeling, but he was a steady hand last year for Leeds and wasn't thinskinned in front of the media.

Both have PL experience and are known commodities. Will never be world class managers, but those are not beating down our door. We know what we will get with them.

it ain't going be Poch or some bloke who just turned down Ajax.

And... It's a gamble bringing in an unknown up and comer.. like players, a total crapshoot.

Odds have just shortened massively for Marsch. Now at 1/4. Seems like people with knowledge are lumping on.

[Colinjb]

It needs to be someone with some gravitas. We have a fractured squad, youngsters in need of leadership and a few newer players in need of some much needed confidence in what they have walked into. 

Jesse Marsch is not that man.

For good reason. Went back to Rangers as a club legend, got them to the EL final which was a superb achievement no doubt. But then this season the fans couldnt wait to the see the back of him. Apparently the quality of football fell off and rapidly. Gerrard achieved more than him

He did a bit more than that and it was the CL defeats that saw him out.  Good at Feyenoord as well.

From a Leeds season ticket holder mate

Ey up bro.

I liked him. Lots of Leeds fans did not, i feel he struggled at Leeds because he followed Bielsa so was always tricky. He plays very attacking football using a gaegen press , and he's very big on psychology and can turn players form (look at Rodrigo for us). He gets a lot of unfair stick imo. By tine the board backed him he only had one game. I dont think he got a fair chance, i know he got near a year, but he inherited a broken squad with minimal investment and depth after the Bielsa years.

[Pamplemousse]

At least with Jesse Marsch we can rehash the NJ song

 

We've got Super Jesse Marsch

Out of interest, who would you appoint? 

[AlexLaw76]

Marsch has prem experience, saving a team experience, plays decent football and more importantly, is available now.

Not sure what else people expect?!
