Poor old spurs…

Anyone know much about Southampton? Rumors swirling that Jesse Marsch will be appointed manager there.

Only that they didn’t give their last manager much of a chance. I’d probably avoid if I was Marsch. Needs to pick his next job carefully as if he doesn’t do well that’ll be him finished in England and possibly Europe. No need to rush out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Would not surprise me, although I don't think he can save them from relegation. They've been shockingly bad this season.

Thanks. I have been reading some fan postings on one of their supporter sites. Seems many see it as a "best we will get" appointment and that his style would fit somewhat well with the previous manager's. Some hope it will be a long-term hire with him staying on to coach in the Championship if they are relegated.

From Marsch's point of view, definitely agree with @BonScot.

Although I hope Southampton fans don't see him as the "best we will get" in a negative / downgrading manner. If they get him, I think they'll be punching well above their weight as a club, personally.

I have the same thoughts. There are certainly some fans who do see it in a negative/downgrading manner, but I would say many seem to understand what he is walking into. I saw some folks saying they would take him over Lampard and Gerrard, but also some wishing for Benitez (who wasn't in the realm of possibility most likely).

Well, that de-escalated quickly. Talks have broken down. Sounds like Southampton wouldn't give him a guaranteed contract beyond the remainder of the season. Looks like he heeded your advice. Is one of you his agent? :unsure::ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

I genuinely wouldn’t want one to own my club. If you go to a game in England the atmosphere is awful. You can hear a pin drop half the time. Maybe we’re just spoiled with the fans here but Germany has great crowds too.
