Southampton 2022/2023 | Nathan Jones Sacked
- Thread starter LawCharltonBest
- Start date
What on earth have they seen in Jesse March’s work at Leeds that made them go ‘yeah we’ll have some of that’?
Football is something else eh? You get sacked from Leeds who are 17th, because they dont think you are good enough to survive in the league (and thus need the change)
A few weeks later youre hired by a team even lower in the league (Bottom) to try and save the team...

One of the only professions where you can get sacked for doing a crap job.
Then get the same job days later...

There's only one man for this job... Sam Allardyce.
i’d imagine darsh interviews strongly and plays well at board level.
Managerial merry go-round still going strong.
To be generous, maybe someone who managed to keep Leeds up last season. And who stylistically fits their squad and identity, more or less. And who offers the enthusiastic "Yeah let's go!!!" vibe that Nathan Jones very much didn't.
But still. That's probably being rather too generous.
Any players we should consider if they go down?
Probably that he isn't named Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard, mostly. The options are fairly thin on the ground
I'd say Bazunu, Ward-Prowse, Bella-Kotchap and maybe Walker-Peters.
That Nathan Jones chap was an awful fecking weirdo.
If you only look for ex-PL managers, yeah.
Tell me you’re deliberately trying to get relegated without telling me you’re deliberately trying to get relegated.
Marsch just seems a likeable bluffer, I suppose being likeable makes him a step up from that last guy
Soton of 2023 would’ve chose Nigel Adkins over Poch
Truly the Saints go Marsching in. Thats your horrific dad joke of the day
Just imagine Lasso kept Southampton up at the expense of Leeds. Just imagine.
Being a football manager really is the best gig in town.
Fail, get sacked, get a big pay-out then get offered the next job that comes along. Rinse and repeat for the next 20 years.

Great song though
Lavia will be an excellent player. City may well use their buyback clause this summer but if not….
Being a football mamanger is surely the best job in the world.
You can be bad as hell you're still going to find a new job in no time.

I laughed.
Who else is out there? Gallardo is one name I've heard mentioned but apparently he doesn't want to take a job mid season. I imagine most managers worth getting would have a similar sentiment
He must have the same agent the likes of Pardew, Hughes, Allardyce and Bruce had back in the day
Out of all these, Walker-Peters is the one I'd focus on.
Please let him do well and Soton stay up at Leeds’ expense. It would be some banterrific karma.
He was also in Mad Max: Fury Road. WITNESS
He does look like he's got a package that might be a better fit for a top team than it is at Southampton, possibly. At least offensively.
For my part, I think it's not hard to visualize how Ward-Prowse could have something to add in Eriksen's role.
The big question is do they have the overall quality, of course.
In my view Ward-Prowse is probably the most average out of them all, with exception to his set-piece delivery. He is very positionally undisciplined, which makes him a liability for any serious manager at a top club.
You probably have a better take on this than me - definitely not going on any deep research or extensive viewing here.
How do you see Walker-Peters as a fit at United? What would he add, and what sort of ceiling do you think he's got?
Walker-Peters overlaps a lot, he is very athletic. His defensive work is surprisingly good too. Years of playing for struggling team does that though.
I think he would be useful when the right forward is someone who doesn't keep width. Sancho on the right with Walker-Peters overlapping, for example.
On the other hand, we know Ten Hag likes his fullbacks to slot in midfield. I don't think Walker-Peters has that in his repertoire right now. He could be trained but that's speculative.
So, in essence, he would be an option, almost the opposite of Dalot. More width, less midfield. Both are able to keep the ball but Walker-Peters has always played with a lot of urgency. He progresses the ball with both dribbles and passes, but as his stats show, dribbling is by far his stronger skill.
Appointing Marsch instead.
feck me
feck me
A good idea is a good idea forever.Appointing Marsch instead.
feck me
Can he relegate 2 teams in one season?
there goes jesse marsch. i must remember to thank him.
Staaaaaan.... DARSH!
he certainly seems to be the fastest way to the bottom of the mountain.Staaaaaan.... DARSH!
Mad how you can get sacked as a football manager and get a new job a week later.
Wow. Jesse Marsch is just the American Nathan Jones. Good at his level but out of his depth in the PL. Weird appointment. I expect them to get relegated now.
