Guess I'm a little deluded then because this definitely doesnt happen at some other clubs

Well Man City havent got to where they are by following the rules

We spent more on Lyanco....😂

And Ralph wouldnt come either so its 100% a non runner

Everybody does it https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/tapping-up-premier-league-transfer-news-1594907

Football insider I think this has come from, so likely a load of shit. But if we are entertaining player opinions (especially this shower of shite squad) on mangerial appointments, then we may as well pack it in as a football club

We dont need somebody who is 'liked' by this squad of failures. We need somebody who can get a long overdue turn out of them. Time will tell if Selles is capable of that. Outside of Marsch, there doesnt look to be many decent replacements who are willing to come in at this stage. I would rather have Selles than bringing in the likes of Allardyce etc. The likes of Lampard, Gerrard etc would want a longer term contract and I dont think we should commit to that for managers who ordinarily wouldnt be our preferred long term option. They could be no better and we're stuck with them into next season or forced into another big pay out. If we get relegated (as expected), there will be better long term managerial options in the summer and as mad as it sounds, we'll probably be a more attractive option than our current position.

NES

I thought Marsch was happy to come, even with the shorter contract. Apparently not

It's how SWF operates

They were hurtling towards relegation under Bielsa. You may claim that he maintained the status quo, but his task/mission first and foremost would have been to keep them up, which he succeeded at, whether that be 10th, 14th or 17th as was the case. Yes he has 'failed' to build on that this season, but there have been plenty of positives during his tenure. He wasn't my number 1 pick either in these circumstances, but he could be a good fit given his style of play and what most of our squad will be used to. It will be an easier transition than what he would have faced at Leeds, following on from Bielsa's regimented style.

Its not the Hasenhuttl style, he didnt invent it. Marsch's teams are similar but will have their own nuances. We didnt keep Ralph because results had badly tailed off during the last year of his tenure. He had reportedly lost part of the dressing room and wasnt even talking to some of the squad/coaches. He also looked a broken man as 4 years of managing in the PL had taken its toll. We tried to freshen things up by bringing in a new coaching setup to support Ralph (when we should have brought in a new manager) and this had little to no effect.

Rasmus said much the same at the fans forum

Did you go to the same school of metrics as Rasmus? What metrics would you be referring to exactly? Kept a very average, injury stricken Leeds team up last season, and had them sitting above the relegation zone when he was sacked. What would non-failure look like as Leeds manager?

Hoedt vs Tella on Sky Sports

Where have I seen that before? 🤔😂 Great post and welcome

Exactly this. He didnt 'fail' at Leeds. Given the setbacks you've highlighted, he did an excellent job keeping them up last season. He also had them sitting outside the relegation zone by the time he was sacked two weeks ago. Yes Leeds fans would have expected them to be rivalling Brighton, Fulham or Brentford's form this season, but they could do with tempering their expectations

Will wait and see what the contract is, but it appears we're not tying ourselves down long term. Could make a change sooner rather than later if things dont pan out. On things turning sour again, I think there is a growing realisation amongst fans that we're 95% relegated. Going down will not be Marsch's doing and I think fans will be alot more patient with him, as long as the football looks good

I'll give him until 2pm saturday when I see Janny B and Lyanco in the starting lineup 😂😂

Would have preferred NES, but not sure he was a realistic option for us. Marsch is still a great appointment for a Championship club, which is what we will be in 2/3 months

While we're seeing what Adkins is doing these days, we should also give Strachan a call 😂

N'Lundulu was pretty dreadful

Pretend we're considering Wilder, Lampard, Rooney, Allardyce etc, so when we do announce Marsch, it looks like a good appointmemt Ankersen:

Wtf is this. Ravel Morrison, Christian Benteke and Brandon Williams? The Sun do themselves no favours at times 😂
