He's probably one of very few who will actually be prepared to deal with the idiots above him. 

This is true. There doesn’t seem to be a long line of suitors for LCFC. The owners allowed the situation to get too severe before replacing, now we’re fuched.

We don’t despise him, yet!

 

really underwhelming appointment and I’m really disappointed. However we could have done a lot worse. He’s just an annoying American.

 

At this time, it should have been Rafa or fat Sam on a temp deal.

About sums it up really

What do you expect when we're trying to hire a manager while sitting 19th with only a few games left, with 75% of the squad out of contract, being sold, or wanting to leave already.

 

Suspect Marsch / Hassenhutl were considered due to having a known identity and links to the RB network. It's possible developing youth is a contributing factor as if we do go down we'll be over reliant on some of our development players to plug gaps. Marsch over Hassenhutl because his salary will be a lot lower.

 

In the same way we've replaced Kasper with a 2nd choice, replaced Fofana with a cheap replacement in Faes, Magurie with a 2nd choice Soyuncu (though he was good for a year,) Evans' impending leave with Souttar from a bottom half Championship club, LB Chilwell with a Belgium RB, Kante with Mendy, Mahrez with Ghezzal.

 

Is it really any wonder, any shock, any surprise that our director of football and ownership have hired a manager most people would see as a regression on Brendan Rodgers?

 

We haven't actually seen an immediate improved first team position since 2019 with Youri over Iborra/Silva. The club have spent 4 years trying to sustain us financially while simultaneously financially ruining us while simultaneously having a 5 year net transfer spent lower than 18 Premier League clubs the other 2 being Brentford and Bournemouth, while simultaneously weakening us in every position.

 

By all accounts this is the best we can expect from a proven incompetent board.

This morning I was obviously dead against the Big Jesse. But having witnessed a level of performance that I can only describe as the worst I think I’ve ever seen (all relative of course), and having pondered about it a lot on my 3 hour drive home, I’m prepared to give him a go. How can it get any worse?


Even just for the banter of thinking about players who’ve played in top European leagues having to respond to some US Yankee Doodle dandy soccer coaches. Current performance levels have ground me down to lowering my expectations to the point where I’m not sure I care what happens anymore. At least he might instill some semblance of a plan or an idea, or god forbid a game plan.

Don't support them then?

Doesn’t really work like that does it Trav?

 

weve been mismanaged from top to bottom. I’ve supported this team from the age of 6 years old, we’ve won the premier league, FA cup and charity shield in the last 6/7 years. The drop and decision making has been horrific. We’ve sacked Rodgers far too late and now we’re about to give Jimminy Billybob who is a premier League and bundesliga failure a 3 year contract.

 

It’s an absolute shambles. 
 

Thanks for the advice though pal. Keep on being you 👍🏻

If the rumour is believed ,  it is expected that Jesse Marsche will soon be named as the next LCFC manager

 

Please someone explain how he is a better manager than Rodgers !

 

Rodgers took us to 19th in the league. Anything was better than Rodgers.

For weeks or months, people have been saying “literally anybody would be better than Rodgers”.

 

Now everybody’s turning their nose up at every possible candidate.

 

Who did people think we were going to appoint? Peak Alex Ferguson?

Have I missed something? Is there anything concrete actually saying that we are signing him?

 

 

I went for something to eat and suddenly there’s a couple of manager threads on fire with his name mentioned!

Many outlets are reporting that we're about to appoint him.

He's probably not a better manager but we are genuinely at a stage where Rodgers being removed and someone with a basic level of competence is better. The issue is in the timing and length of contract, I don't think Marsch will be a success here, I think it screams of being a fundamentally thick appointment long term, but that's arguably on the board more than him.

Marsh's premier league career is 43 points in 37 games with Leeds. Rodgers is 40 points in his last 37 games with us.

 

When Marsch was sacked on Febuary 6th, Leeds were in 17th with 18 points from 20. And we were 14th with 21 from 21.

 

When Marsh took over Leeds they were 16th with 23 points from 26, 2 points above the drop with 2 more games played. His 15 points earned in the last 12 games was 1 better than Burnley's 14. They stayed up by bettering Burnley's 2-1 loss to Newcastle on the final day. If both teams had the same result Burnley would have stayed up on goal difference.

 

Those aren't the results of a manager who can right the ship. I take back what I said about anyone but the caretakers. I'm a bit angry now.
