Rumoured to be until the end of this season - I hope that is correct and bet the survival bonus is huge if true. Makes sense really, no way did he expect to get another shot in the premier league this soon after the Leeds sacking.
Makes sense tbh, Perhaps Saints want to see what happens in the time he is here, and evaluate at the end of the season. If we go down, we could try and tempt Carrick, Stay up and we could target a extremely good manager like Gallardo.
I don't agree with this. Stay up, and surely he deserves a longer contract. It's just a bit non-committal and I'm not sure if it sends the right message to the players. I'd rather a 2 year deal.
The end of the season makes some sense to me. Probably some clause in there that if he keeps us up he gets an extension or a bonus if he wants to walk away, if we go down then they can assess how well he was doing/fans reaction and the club/Marsch can choose to extend or walk away. Maybe he doesn’t want to commit past that, might not fancy the Championship next year if we go down
Yeah I read this, Wide midfielders are going to play a big role, I Imagine Stuey to start Games and Aribo to challenge him on that right hand side. The left hand side will probably be the more direct option of Sulemana/Edozie. He will either go for two forwards or play a 10 with JWP/Alcaraz competing.
We did this with Hughes then gave him a longer contract and look what happened . Maybe a longer contract now sends the right message to the players as you say.
Give him a 2 year deal with a break clause for both, if desired, in the case of relegation. It's just a small margins thing, and though I want the players to be committed (as they should be), these little things could count.
That was a good read. Now, if only I understood all this xG stuff. If anyone would like to explain, in simple terms, I would appreciate it. Or direct me to a website that explains it. TIA.
Don't bother. All the data referred to is trash. All comes from Wyscout, which is manually entered tripe. Means very little. The vast majority of football data is 10 years behind. For the stats haters, the problem isn't stats, it's that football isn't very good at creating or using them apart from in a few scenarios.
Expecting a press release where SR say they tried very hard to get a new manager in before the end of the season.
I am totally done with Ankersen now. He gives Jones a 3.5 year contract and isn't willing to give Marsch more than a few months? Just **** off ****ersen.
I know not the same but we did that with Hughes. I was all in favour at time but that turned sour. Anyway, if he keeps us up, I’d give him freedom of city as well as another contract. Edit: Wrote this before catching up fully. OMG we are just ****ingg dumb.
