Nothing to lose, all but down 😂 I nearly put Will Still actually, plays a sort of off shoot of a high energy/high press at Reims but in a less rigid 4231 as opposed to RBs gagenpress style 4222 A UEFA PRO licence is required in the prem though Im not sure if its fully mandatory or its a fine system like in Ligue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Pretty much, though I don’t think Marsch is ‘as’ bad as many believe, it didn’t really work at Leeds but I do think there’s a decent manager there schooled at the feet of Ragnick like Ralph H.. my only concern is of all of RRs deciples Marsch is arguably the least polished and least tactically proficient 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nieldy Posted 12 February, 2023 Share Posted 12 February, 2023 You never know Marco silva was sacked as Everton manager and look what he his doing at Fulham now.So Marsch could possible do the same for us.Im sure there are other managers who have been sacked and gone on to do well at other clubs without looking. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never formally adopted, I.e. it has always been football, the football association, the football league etc... There is just no way it should be called soccer over football.

Went back to Rangers as a club legend, got them to the EL final which was a superb achievement no doubt. But then this season the fans couldnt wait to the see the back of him.

qwertyell Posted 12 February, 2023 Share Posted 12 February, 2023 2 hours ago, Convict Colony said: It's interesting with marsch Was good in US and Salzburg but then tried the change the system at Leipzig which didn't play to their strengths and was sacked. Wasn't sure what he did at Leeds and I've heard people say Leeds should of won a lot more games than they did but they had bamford out so I'm sort of ok with a 18 month contract show us what you can do in the remaining games and we can decide in the summer. Whenever I've seen Leeds under Marsch they've played pretty well but were terribly profligate in front of goal. Never thought they were a bad side or a disorganised rabble. Anyone who comes in now is on a hiding to nothing regardless, so getting a manager with some CL experience who knows the league and is available without the need for compensation is probably quite appealing for the board. Reassess in the summer. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintjimbo83 Posted 12 February, 2023 Share Posted 12 February, 2023 With the signing of tall Paul, Salisu’s long throws and carrying on the genius “jones hoofball” philosophy, I think bringing John Beck out of retirement is our best chance of survival.

I'm talking about the success of the appointments. Adkins (took us up 2 divisions and had us mid table in the prem), Potchettino took us further upwards and then was headhunted. Koeman took us into europe and then was headhunted. "We should only appoint really good managers" is not the sparkling insight you seem to think it is.

Nolan Posted 12 February, 2023 Share Posted 12 February, 2023 So the general feeling I get from a number of posters is: 1/ we're definitely relegated. 2/ we should be able to entice the world's best coaches to the club.

Just gone 30 hours with no sleep to get to maldives and can't be arsed to read it all. Ralph had us 90th out of 92 in terms of form for league teams in England. Against all objective reason, the board appointed Nathan Jones, the Luton manager who previously had his shot with Stoke and returned with his tail between his legs. He wasnt very good. Maitland-Niles played CB in a back five against 10-man Wolves and JannyB tripped over his own feet scoring an own goal. The Welsh guy got fired. We're basically relegated. Probs gonna get that American geezer who just got fired by Leeds. Kamaldeen is a baller. I think all that happened in the previous 30 hours... give or take.

Probably unattainable but certainly worth a discussion and a chance to 'sell the vision' (whatever that currently is!) MG was someone i was very interested in back in Oct but then i read he wants to take over a team in the summer and also he's been touted for pretty much every job in europe especially in spain, also Ajax has a spot open as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have gone last summer. Then a sensible appointment could have given us a realistic chance of mid table finish. Sacking Ralph wasn't the issue, it was the timing and subsequent appointment.
