hypochondriac Posted 12 February, 2023 Share Posted 12 February, 2023 I'll be honest I haven't paid much attention to Marsch. All I know is Jones was absolutely not suitable whereas Marsch has had a little bit of success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 12 February, 2023 Share Posted 12 February, 2023 Marsch isn't a terrible choice. Imagine if we were in the Championship (which will be likely); he'd be a decent name for us there, like how Marco Silva's first real success in England after failing at Everton was building an exciting Fulham team in the second tier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmus is a car crash, lurching from one disaster to the next. Constant changes, no plan, no serious footballing thinking. Marsch isn't the worst, but he's not keeping us up and he has nothing that will get the fans onboard or excited. Offers nothing that is required for the role right now, and if that's what we're looking for / the best rasmus can manage then we should just wait and make a seriously well thought through appointment. Just screams of no plan and no ambition. Edited 12 February, 2023 by Saint86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A manager with a distinct and stand out style and a good reputation in Europe. Some of the stuff he had us playing was superb, but he was let down by years of under investment in an ever weakening team relative to the league. We need to be going out and getting another exciting and promising manager (like galardo). Marsch is absolutely not that man, although he'd be a massive improvement over Jones - but can you imagine if we get Leeds' unwanted mananger and they go and get gallardo (as is rumoured).

VectisSaint Posted 12 February, 2023 Share Posted 12 February, 2023 Perhaps we should promote from within, Marianne Spacey seems to know how to grind out results, at least in the Championship. Other thought was perhaps we should go for Lampard, Uncle 'Arry could come and help him out and bring the boy Jamie along too. Poch would never come back, and certainly not while KL is still around (she is still around isn't she?). Gerrard is off to Leeds, and would jump ship the minute Klopp leaves Liverpool. I honestly have no clue who we could get, but it is worrying that the same people and process who recruited Jones will be looking for his replacement. Did they have other names lower on their list than Jones? Who says they can't do any worse. The bloke from Havant & Waterlooville might be worth a shout. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen this said a lot the past few months, like some kind of justification for the states' continuing to use soccer (it's weird that this is needed). However... When looking into the history of football and the English football league in particular. "The first meeting was held at Anderton's Hotel in London on 23 March 1888 on the eve of the FA Cup Final. The Football League was formally created and named in Manchester at a further meeting on 17 April at the Royal Hotel. The name "Association Football Union" was proposed by McGregor but this was felt too close to "Rugby Football Union". Instead, "The Football League" was proposed by Major William Sudell, representing Preston, and quickly agreed upon." And does the rest of the world use soccer? Or basically just the USA?

Nuno would be a superb choice but likely too late in the season for him to come now - November arrival he would have had us mid table. Lage I think is realistic and would set us up properly, an intelligent young coach. So personally my first and second choices. Bielsa would be great to see, but he is crackers and would have wanted longer with this squad plus demand a helicopter and a Yorkshire terrier in the office or somesuch. Pochettino no chance. Gallardo a roll of the dice but an exciting and credible roll. Marsch - frying pan into the furnace, less irritating than Jones but that's a very low bar. Ramus and Marty should be sectioned if they go near this. Gerrard, big name but I don't think would fit Saints and a dour bastard. Carrick is the manager than Ankersen thought he was getting in Jones, he'll stay where he is for now I would imagine as no major financial impetus to up sticks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
