Its absolutely fucking ridiculous that the board made this utter cretin their choice. I honestly still can’t get over it. It was so hilariously obvious that he was useless. Unbelievable. One of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen from a PL club. I assume the only reason Ankersen is still about is because of his ownership stake. Because if he’s an employee he should be sacked immediately.

Is there an internal bet at the club to see how we can do with as little experience as possible? - Tennaged keeper - Manager who’s never managed - Striker who’s never played in the PL before - Child wingers - Chop and change the defence every game so we never build any rhythm or playing experience. What could possibly go wrong?

Some absolute melts on here 😂 Just think of it this way. We can’t get any worse can we. It’s only going to be better under JM. Even if we keep playing as badly, we don’t have to listen to shit about welsh mining villages and other nonsense

Genuinely read the whole thing in his voice. Amazing 😂

Nothing to worry about anyway, Super Marsch is going to get us firing and keep us up.

The positive thing is, with Marsch, there is genuinely a chance that he is a great fit for us for the next few seasons. Couldn’t say that about NJ. Even before he was appointed it was an obvious mistake

As much as this appointment will look ridiculous from the outside, I agree that it does make sense in a lot of ways. He genuinely seems like a decent bloke, unlike the previous knob head which is huge. Even if we keep losing and go down, he will hopefully install some sort of team spirit again. However, I am just sad that it’s come to this. Ultimately, if you had presented me with Nathan Jones and Marsch as successors to Ralph, I would probably have gambled on keeping Ralph and giving him some new players in the Jan window. I really thought SR’s money would help atttact a higher calibre of manager. But oh well - if the rumour is true he has my full 100% support all season. Positive vibes only from here. And who knows? Could be one of those lucky appointments where we fit each other like a glove.

Fuck me, what metrics do our board use to scout managers?

Hopefully we finally get a new manager bounce. Chelsea haven’t been great for a while, so in theory we could get something. Although I wouldn’t bet on it. Chelsea 3-0 or 4-0 is more likely unfortunately.

I do think Marsch is a much better fit than Nathan Jones. But appointing someone that has just recently been a failure in the PL seems barmy. There must be some young, hungry tactical managers out there that can do a job. Yea we are shit & a basket case, but the PL and money is still a massive attraction. Jesse Marsch seems… unimaginative.

I was adamant that Ralph should go. But I think we would have at least 5 more points from those games under him. Utterly ridiculous/catastrophic appointment. Genuinely can’t think of a more suicidal decision by a premier league club than to appoint this incompetent fraud. Literally everyone could see it as well - its fucking staggering

He’s literally winning everything in the air and shown good strength lol. Give him a fucking chance

Get in. Who said tall paul isn’t winning headers? Give him a chance fuck sake. He’s winning everything

Obviously we need to win. The problem is, even if we lose heavily and sack Jones, I have absolutely zero faith in whoever they pick next. If they got it this spectacularly wrong, what makes anyone think their next pick will be any better? We have to win.

The Welsh David Brent will soon coach that out of him

Yep, it was. I think people should stop using his faith to bash him, personally. Think it’s out of order. Many of the best sportstars and coaches are religious. It has no bearing on his ability to manage. It’s a bit embarrassing to use it as a stick to beat him with.

Embarrassingly out of his depth. He should stop doing press conferences altogether. Every time he speaks he makes things worse.

I would rather sign Nathan Jones on an unbreakable 10 year contract than see Harry Redknapp walking down the opposite side of the road.

It’s pretty much nailed on that if we end up playing them, they will beat us. It’s just how football works

Thats because our squad was signed with Ralph ball in mind - work hard out of possession, close down opposition, pass and move. Jonesball is totally different. Kick it up in the air, swing crosses in, “be aggressive”. This was blatantly fucking obvious to absolutely everyone except the idiots in charge of the club. In some ways I feel sorry for Jones as he has been thrown in to a club that has zero players that fit his hoof ball league one tactics. But equally I don’t because he’s an absolute helmet.

Can we stick to wanking off dogs please

These utter, utter bell ends literally don’t have a scooby. How is this useless helmet still in charge. Ridiculous. Get him gone. You had your chance Jones. Then get Semmens gone. Then get Ankersen gone.

I can live with him digging back at fans etc. Fine. We’ve sung songs at him, we deserve some stick back if he turns it around and wins a game. (Not that he will). But I cannot live with him insulting individual players - specifically our best player - Lavia. Its fucking insane to keep him at this point. Literally insane.

Got to love the football forum classic of “blaming the fans” whenever anything happens. Sure.. it’s the fans fault that the clown: - Wasted the World Cup break - Made us worse defensively - Made us worse offensively - No clue who his best players are - Insulted the entire club & fan base - Alienated the players If anyone does know him personally (hot saint), please tell him it’s nothing to do with the fans, and everything to do with his poor decision making. He’s achieved nothing in the game of note and never will.

I’m pretty sure if Jones did try and wank off a pet, domestic or otherwise, he’d do it wrong. Then claim he’s the best in Europe at it anyway
