Is Jesse Marsch better than Rodgers ?

[LeePhilpottsBaldSpot]

I must admit I was underwhelmed at the link.

 

But if he gets the job we have to get behind him 100%.

 

Huge rebuilding job, whichever division we're in.

I think he would have learnt a lot from his Leeds tenure. And that will put him in good stead. He’s obviously a decent manager bcos he wouldn’t be where he is if he wasn’t. Just felt at leeds he needed it all to click and it didn’t. So it might just here 

Oh good. I'll click. Let's get the groundsmen to click. And perhaps do some clicking in the  carpark.

 

Managing a football club isn't operating by idiom. It's a huge undertaking and the one we've currently got on at Leicester impacts the future of the club in a significant way.

 

But yeah, let's take a manager who's failed at this level and hope it 'might just' work here.

 

This is a first-rate mess.

It's obvious that the club doesn't want to change the style of football that Puel and Rodgers have started. 

 

The club doesn't sound like their in the mood to throw away a whole system which has took years and many millions to build. 

 

Jesse Marsch's style is not like Puel or Rodgers though, they absolutely are prepared to throw it away if they're signing Marsch.

 

Both Rodgers and Puel are patient build up possession heavy 'attacking' managers. Marsch is more direct, caring less about possession, cares far more about being out of possession than in possession, and isn't patient. He also prefers a narrow formation, the Ralf 4222, and narrow 4231 as the base.

It's truly baffling that despite relegation being a near certainty, there are fans who hold the unrealistic belief that we'll be able to cherry-pick from a pool of highly qualified managers. The harsh reality is that our club is sailing towards a financial iceberg, we are not going to get top-tier managers given our current predicament.

It's time for a reality check.

Is that not the risk you take with any appointment? 
Apart from a very select few, most managers have failed somewhere in their career while succeeding elsewhere.

 

Depends as well what you determine by failure, keeping Leeds up last season was a success in my book.

We need it to click! In a much shorter time frame, this guy holds no weight, and wont turn this bunch around in time, hes a ted lasso literally, and does not have it in him for this type of pressure or fight, will be a nice pay day though for him, i find it hard to believe they think he is the answer! Just shows what ****** we have up top on board level

He's Brendan-lite. Prepare yourselves.

 

Will be sacked when we're 16th in the Championship after 10 games anyway.

This is genuinely what I think will happen. I'm about 95% sure it'll be a disaster. Good luck to him but **** me we'll need it.

[jayfox26]

Only positive I can take is that vs Benitez and Allardyce, he's young and hungry and will want to prove himself after failing at Leeds. Didnt particularly like his personality at Leeds but that won't be anything new as I didn't particularly like Rodgers or Puel either. I don't need to like the manager so long as they are successful. In all honesty, I dislike most football managers, they all talk utter bull shit and use the same guide book when it comes to excuses and deflection tactics.

 

Just want to add that yes I'm aware there are more managers our there than just Rafa, Sam and Jesse but realistically, no decent manager will want to come here when the clubs on fire. 

[cheadle white]

Leeds fan here. 

Absolutely insane appointment for you guys, his football was horrendous and never got any kind of run going, his tactics just don't work. Awful stuff.

Whoever thought he might be an improvement on Rodgers is nuts.

Thanks. I think most fans can see this. But again up top decision making is baffling 

[John12345]

If its a disaster in the next games, he should have some kind of release clause. Well anyone sensible would have negotiated that! So maybe not for Leicester.

While your waiting tell us why he is the worst manager ever in the premier league?

*You're
 

Ok, I'll admit - Marsch might not be the worst manager EVER. My comment was fuelled by anger, frustration and a few beers (which you could probably tell anyway). 

But our friend here genuinely seems to think that JM has the potential to be a "very good manager in the Premier League". And he doesn't seem to be angry or pissed, like I am? So I'd be fascinated what his reasons to say such a thing. Especially when you consider that Marsch was Leeds manager for 37 games – of which he won 11. And also failed at the other decent job he had (Leipzig). 

If @so1 will come out and say "sorry lads, just drank a pint of glue", then fair enough. No worries. But if he (or anyone else) thinks that Marsch has the potential to be "a very good manager in the Premier League", I genuinely want to know what that opinion is based on. Because I'm having a really, really hard time to understand what that could be.

On paper Rodgers is better 10000% but we got a shit, depressed and unmotivated Brendan for the last 18 months. I have no doubt that Marsch is shit and this will be a disaster but don’t overlook just how much of a mess Brendan has got us in.

[studentofthegame]

He has nowhere close to the resume that Rodgers has and this is coming from someone that actually hates Rodgers

He is like Brendan Rodgers from Wish, or a shitty american sitcom remake of Brendan Rodgers

He has had 3 jobs, 2 of which he failed at and the only one he had success with was when he was managing the one team in a one team league, I don't think it takes a great deal of skill to win titles 7 and 8 in a run of 10 straight, also with the talent he had available to him at Salzburg it would have been a monumental failure if he hadn't won the title

He had 1.03 ppg in his time at Leeds, Rodgers has 1.13 ppg for us over the past 2 seasons and I think we can all agree it hasn't been a good 2 seasons

Leeds scored 1.21 per game and conceded 1.66 per game
Last 2 seasons we scored 1.5 per game and conceded 1.63 per game

His time at Leipzig was arguably worse, they finished 2nd the season before he took over from Nagelsmann, he had them 11th when he was sacked after 14 games, they went on to finish 4th. They won 5 games out of 14, those were against the teams that finished 18th, 16th, 15th and 13th, then he had 1 good win against Dortmund. 

His entire reputation is based on him winning the Austrian league with Salzburg, he is one of seven managers to do that since they last failed to win the league 

It is a dreadful hire and screams desperation and lack of any competence in the running of this club, we are deep in a downward spiral and all this will do is accelerate it

Rodgers has destroyed our club to be fair, literally from Top to bottom.

[Blue ROI]

Be great to have a US manager making a go if it but all evidence suggests this will end in tears.

 

In all honesty the way Top has run the club the last 2 seasons I'm left with no confidence in the club now.

[TJQuik]

The fact he's worse doesn't prove that we should have kept Rodgers. The club should have shitcanned him over a year ago but they've left it until the last possible moment with no succession plan, because they didn't want to be seen not taking action as we sleepwalk to relegation. Now it's almost hilarious watching us press the self destruct button by hiring Marsch.

[foxes_rule1978]

Absolutely not he is Rodgers 0.5 

[adamkhalifa]

This guy just doesn't seem right for this job. I have lost faith with the board, and how they do business. I want a new DOF aswell. 

[Tuna]

Not in the same league as Rodgers.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

 

Our club is one of the worst in terms of wages to turnover ratio. That means we will see a fire sale in the summer, and will loan out players like Ricardo who teams won't want to outright buy because of their injury records. With the financial uncertainty not too many managers are going to be keen on the job.

 

 

[Guy]

I suppose anything that moved wrote Ranieri off though as soon as he got his feet through the door here after the Great Escape and then sacking Pearson shenanigans! We will just have to wait and see re Marsch I guess, as it's obviously all theoretical at present, whether he performs a miracle to keep us up or not in the short term!
