Hilarious. Can’t even get him Southampton's talks with Jesse Marsch have broken down with the club reluctant to offer the manager a long-term contract #saintsfc @JWTelegraph

Paddy Power yet to pay out on my bets he would be appointed, placed after Fareham Saint said don’t believe everything you read on the internet. So maybe he’s right after all. Eek.

Worst Burt Bacharach lyric ever

They were great, Mother Earth

I love how one of the benefits we have alighted on is that he speaks 'full English'. Either that's a lot of bacon and eggs or it's nothing to get massively excited about as an attribute, surely to God?

thanks for this. Informative.

Be careful. You’re not allowed to disapprove on here. Or usual suspect police will come for you

I would not actually. I’d be like most of the fans I’ve read about and be thinking that is another relegation post filled. No need to be a twat if you don’t share that view. Might be a bit late for you though

Athletic reporting it will be Marsch. At least I win at the bookies…

There’s no way we’re keeping the. In the Championship, sorry. Well maybe edozie. IMO.

Crook says club hoping to get new manager in by Chelsea game. He too says he can’t understand why we didn’t go for Dyche when available, but plumped for Jones also, that Leeds. Ow considering Gerrard alongside Gary McAllister. And that Nuno - who I personally think would be a good fit for us - has an 8m release clause. So moment go for either us off Leeds probably

The replies from Leeds fans to this seem on the whole pretty measured

No, ‘Childish antics’. Lovely Italian/Portuguese grub

Just looked it up. Looks good. Ta for tip. Lots of Maradona memorabilia/shirts still here. Remarkable.

Don’t know it. Was in museum bar.

No that’s your Portsmouth fodder. Missed Napoli play by a day so am a bit annoyed but brilliant city if you get your passport back

Sorry. Was out for dinner in Naples. Has something happened or are you still looking at people’s twitter followers to establish veracity of what they sayeth? Or not sayeth? Do tell.

Find all this stuff about not being able to attract good managers in our position a bit odd, to be honest. Whoever gets the job will get many millions of pounds, succeed or fail. That is quite an incentive, and a lure to many decent managers (you'd have thought) perhaps in other, less cash rich leagues. Even Scotland...

He'd have them running around at least

It doesn't. It's a description of an idea on a message board.

Benny Hill

Not saying it is likely or will happen, just that it is an interesting thought if he packs it in with England and doesn't want the pressure of a big club. More of a project.

Hi Jesse

Because I met Russell a few times, my kids played in his academy, he's a nice guy, knows his football, and has a future, I believe. If they want to go the risky route (ie accept we're down) but build in the Championship, I think he'd be good, as a cultural fit. Same could be said of Southgate or Potter (although the latter ship has probably sailed). Strikes me there is so much wrong at the club that it needs a complete new culture and we need that kind of manager instilled. Only suggested Gerrard as best of that bad ex-player trio and Gallardo as he is highly regarded. Marsch just looks desperate piece of fantasy, and belief in the magical Ankersen failure theory, Which we now know is a load of old balls.

Absolutely batshit crazy. Loons.
