PS Jesse Marsch is Ted Lasso

There's a bunch of clubs waiting for others to sack their managers first, thereby avoiding compensation IMO. And I think we are one of them re: Forest

also: two matches to save him? WTF?

Christ - please not Marsch. That would be the end of days.

betting suspended on Ralph leaving next, i read

1pm apparently. "Is this your last game in charge, Ralph?"

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/oct/04/nottingham-forest-rafael-benitez-steve-cooper-job-manager Think this will be a domino thing (no, not pizzas)

Agreed. I think we're waiting for him to get the chop.

🚨 Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper ‘has admirers’ at Southampton, but Saints are likely to conduct a ‘full recruitment procedure’ in the event of Hasenhuttl’s departure #saintsfc @SamiMokbel81_DM waiting game then

That Telegraph piece reads like a cuttings job. Big if he has been briefed it’s a weird thing to do right now

Does Ralph actually want to be here? Doesn't feel like he's absolutely 100% behind his own job. Much more that he'd quite like a pay-off now, thanks. And here's some bolshy non-management/crap selections to get that to happen sooner. Are the board calling his bluff? Maybe they really are hoping a Man City drubbing will be the excuse to pull the lever, whilst also allowing more time for teeing up our next coach.

This is complete lunacy

How on earth is Ralph STILL in charge?

I shudder to think what sort of posters you have tbh 😉

Agreed re Cooper. Excellent manager. Would be great as long term coach for us. Maybe we're waiting...

Yup. Flashes of good stuff. And we will oblige obvs

Tick tock

Wonder if one of the managers we are keeping tabs on is Scott Parker. Personally think we can and should do better. But wonder.

Just read Wolves were approaching Steve Bruce. Giggled. Then realised it was a spoof site.

He's not Portuguese enough... 😉

Yes, Leicester more likely I'd have thought. But we do have a connection of sorts with Frank so here's hoping

Why would he leave Brentford?

No relationship with the players. What is the point in keeping him on. This is massive negligence on the part of the board. Should have been got rid of last season. Saints suddenly feel rudderless

This. He doesn’t like people with valid football ideas, clearly. Prefers his Ralph world of dogma and pet yes man players who tow the party line but sadly are shit

I have nightmares about Adams' miss. Cannot believe he is so shit. But he is.
