Lucas 3,827 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Luton should go for Neil Critchley from Blackpool. He looks taylor-maid to fit in there and you'd imagine he'd do a solid job with some of the players he has there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reluctant Striker 134 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Southampton have done reasonably well for a while, finding star players, selling & replacing. But it's that which is catching up with them. The current side feels like a Championship side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N U F C 171 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Was always coming after yesterday's result. Cleared the path for us to the cup final by knocking City out in the Quarters so I don't mind him for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,402 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 It seemed an inevitability after he showed that the pressure was getting to him in his press conferences. The same thing happened at Stoke City and they didn't act quick enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've barely heard of any of them. I get they unearth talent but eventually like you say, it will catch up with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tar-Mairon 93 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 The guy seemed genuinely unhinged in his press conferences as though he thinks he's Jurgen Klopp or Alex Ferguson and that his own failures are due to trying to please people. His ranting is utterly bizarre. I have never seen someone who has never managed in the top league behave like him. Poor appointment, right call.

Everyone thought the owners were mad when they sold Lambert, Lallana, Shaw etc but they replaced them with Pelle, Tadic, Mane, Bertrand Alderweirald etc. The model is great if the recruitment is great. Look at Brentford and Brighton. They've got in the Premier League and are using that extra income to still recruit very good players. There's no reason why Southampton couldn't have continued to do the same thing and be pushing for a top six place now. They just dropped the ball.

There's no reason why Southampton couldn't have continued to do the same thing and be pushing for a top six place now. They just dropped the ball. They have made some seemingly bad choices. Not sure they ever replaced Ings, who at least shared the star man burden with Ward Prowse when he was there. Think they just promoted Che Adams. A 1 goal in around 5 striker. Ings had been 1 in 2 for them. Perhaps trying to improve that a bit now with Sulemana. But he didn't have great figures in France. The right back vs Wolves, James Bree, is basically a Villa reject. Perhaps he's developed since. And it still confuses me why they let Bednarek go on loan to Villa. Who in turn rarely used him. And is now back in their side.. and scoring an own goal. A good plan for them may be to avoid dealing with Villa, or former Villa players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,773 Posted February 13, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted February 13, 2023 He needed to go and now Southampton will be hiring their third manager of the season. Crazy. I'm hoping that the new person doesn't come in before the Grimsby game and we can sail through to the next round of the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 3,827 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 The absolute ordasity of Football if Jesse Marsch was to take over and then promptly beat us in two weeks time at Elland Road. That would have to be the moment to raise the White Flag and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,662 Posted February 14, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted February 14, 2023 Jesse Marsch would surely be an insane appointment for them given how poor he's been for Leeds in circumstances not a million miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,383 Posted February 14, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted February 14, 2023 They're actually going for Marsch . Based on what he's done with Leeds (going from 17th when he joined, to being in 17th when he left), it's a bizarre appointment. Guessing they actually are preparing for Championship life with his appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 3,827 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I'm very aware that in true Football fashion, this could backfire on us. I'm hopeful it won't, but it easily could. The script is there though and his motivation factor will be high. However, the fact they have us in two weeks at Elland Road, I'm dreading they beat us. I'm tempted to stick a fiver on that now.

If he keeps them up great if not he might be a good appointment for next year. If not get rid of him then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
