    Why start a rebuild with 4 straight losses with a squad devoid of any confidence whatsoever?

    The end of the season is the obvious point to make a change and just see out the end of the disappointment that has been this season.

    The thread of this title is kinda funny because it won't be a case of "SMS sells out" if Ruben stays.

    Leeds are talking about getting Allardyce in for the final 4 games. Proactive.

    We should have done something like this a few weeks ago, not much to lose worth a go.

    Don’t get me wrong I hate his brand of football, but it can be effective.

    Should have done this when Ralph left and certainly when Jones left. He is a proven fire fighter. Experience counts - see the impact that Warnock and Hodgson have had on their relative teams, football may not be pretty but is gets important points

    Isn’t there a rule that says that you can only have three different managers in a season?

    Here's a good stat for you.

    Robert De Zerbi is now one of the top ten longest serving managers in the Premier League.

    He was appointed in September.

    I know this doesn’t answer your question either Ashby, but so far this season, there have been 25 mid-season managerial changes in the Premier League. The previous record since 92-93 was 15.

    https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/trainerwechselprosaison/wettbewerb/GB


    From the same source, Saints are 4th in the all-time list of managerial changes in Football League/Premier League history with 22. We are also 4th in the list of mid-season changes with 16. Newcastle are top of both lists.

    To answer your question, no, I don't believe there is.

    It all started with Ted Bates handing over to Lawrie, at first that didn't go well but then 1976! With rare exceptions since then they haven't lasted long with us. I wonder what poor old Ted would say about it all. Probably not printable!!

    Really? Say at the end of March would you have preferred Selles to Big Sam?

    See, I would have had the same thought before but compared to Jones and Selles he might as well be Pep.

    Too late now either way.
