His DC United record is not so good
Odds have gone announcement coming!
I think he’ll be good. He’s already won more points at St Mary’s this season than Jones did in his whole tenure.
Scary rumours that we’re interviewing Rooney
Fiverweb has a pic of Marsch in the Harbour Hotel in Ocean Village
Typical Saints appoint a manager & forget to announce him
Will we be aware the aides of Marsch?
Or do we Marsch on?
We could do the Monster Marsch
The 'idings of Marsch is what I am worried about
Are his aides known as the Marschians? Because the chances of them coming are a million to one.
But still they come.
And a VARus will be their downfall
Just because he, Gillard, turned Leeds down doesn’t necessarily mean he’d have turned us down…
We don’t Marsch on?
Oh fvck till be Bruce & Selles dream team
Springsteen and Monica?
Southampton talks with Jesse Marsch break down
Exclusive: Southampton did not want to offer former Leeds United manager a long-term contract
By Jeremy Wilson, Chief Sports Reporter15 February 2023 • 2:33pm
Talks between Southampton and Jesse Marsch have broken down, with interim manager Ruben Selles set to lead the club against Chelsea on Saturday.
As reported by Telegraph Sport, the 39-year-old Selles has been seen as a viable potential longer-term option ever since Nathan Jones was sacked and the club is also looking into the possibility of bringing in a more experienced coach to work alongside him.
They were also assessing other options and held positive talks on Monday with Marsch,who was sacked just over a week ago as Leeds United manager.
Southampton, however, did not want to award Marsch a long-term contract given the sudden nature of discussions and their own precarious position, especially after the financial hit that they had just taken over Nathan Jones, who was sacked on Sunday.
The Welshman cost £4 million in compensation to Luton Town, and will be due further compensation himself on the remaining years of a contract that had lasted until 2026.
Jones’s stormy tenure was ended on Sunday morning, less than 24 hours after the home defeat by Wolverhampton Wanderers which leaves the club bottom of the table. Jones managed Southampton for just nine Premier League games, which included eight defeats.
Southampton felt like they had no option but to make the change and ease the pressure and toxic atmosphere that was consuming the club.
It had reached a point whereby just about every social media posting that Southampton made would be followed by numerous ‘Jones Out’ messages and the club’s own fans were chanting for him to be sacked during matches.
Saturday’s defeat has left Southampton cut adrift at the bottom of the Premier Leaguetable on just 15 points, although some grains of comfort have been taken from the positive impact of new signings Carlos Alcaraz and Kamaldeen Sulemana.
There is now considerable pressure on the club’s leadership team, notably Rasmus Ankersen, the chief executive of Sport Republic, who led the heavily data-influenced appointment of Jones after he had taken Luton Town to the Championship play-offs last season on a limited budget.
Southampton next face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday and are acutely conscious that the dreadful league form under Jones has coincided with what, in theory, should have been winnable fixtures. The four home defeats were against Brighton, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa as well as Wolves and contributed to Southampton’s worst run of home form this century. They were also beaten away at Liverpool, Fulham and Brentford during Jones’s 95-day tenure.
