Probably the only sort of manager they could reasonably get right now. No ambitious PL-calibre manager is going to want to take on a team so nailed-on for relegation, there’s nothing to gain. Then you’ve just got unproven managers for whom the attraction of a PL job is enough - but they’ve just tried that with miserable results. So it’s either another recently sacked manager looking to bounce back, or smashing the Big Sam Alarm E: or maybe they could get Bielsa and actually let him do the “you’re going to get relegated anyway, so let me manage the u23s for the rest of this season first” thing he wanted to do at Everton

Who the gently caress does Marsch think he is? You can only get on the merry-go-round if you're British They'll end up getting Hasenhuttl back, and then still sacking him again when they get relegated

Leeds getting relegated would be mitigated by Marsch becoming a future quiz question by being the first guy to manage two relegated teams in the same season, unless that has happened before (think it might have)

It's very funny to me that you can have five people sitting in the VAR room or whatever and all they do is make offside calls and yet they can still gently caress them up because someone drags the MS Paint line at the wrong angle or whatever

Manchester City should be eternally imprisoned in League One like a special ironic cell they build for a Batman villain can't go up, can't go down, just showing up in Shrewsbury once a year with a banner that says they're not really there and a big flask of bovril that they have to sneak in as a warning to other clubs

Please football gods make this happen. Also Fat Frank (family connection) or Stevie G (bags of money) to Sandbanks FC so I only have to worry about Sean Dyche's Everton, and West Hampton.

I'm a little surprised Southampton aren't leaning toward Bielsa, unless Bielsa's opinions are so strong that the owners don't think they can maintain control of the club or something like that...

I don't think the issue is individual people really, it shouldn't be possible to have human error when multiple people are doing the VAR work

Thanks Ants posted:it shouldn't be possible to have human error when multiple people are doing the VAR work wherever there are humans there will be human error. id rather go back to the way things were, but the investments are too large to put VAR back in the box. So we will get decades of VAR sucking until they eventually have the technology to fully automate everything. To nerd a bit, I think they would need to be able to generate a real-time 3d rendering based on one or probably several cameras and then run that rendering through a rule enforcement model trained on eons of footage. Most likely the next step will be to just implement the World Cup semi-assisted offside thing, which is not going to aid transparency or possible even correctness. Ultimately, VAR has brought in the wrong kind of controversy. At least bad calls were immediate and funny in the cosmic sense. VAR is just spite from god when it affects your team, even moreso when it is incorrect.

VAR was destined to be a disaster the moment they decided it could be used to draw lines on fuzzy screen shots to determine offside. It should have been used with a high level of deference to the decision on the field to catch obviously incorrect decisions or not at all.

I don't hear about these kind of VAR problems in any other league. Granted I don't follow any other league as closely as the Premier League but maybe having your horribly poo poo referees like Jon Moss and Mike Dean in charge of VAR is the problem.

TheRat posted:But why Although that ignores the fact that Leeds were in said relegation spots by just a point or two and he's also he's as flexible as a boulder with his tactics, so if Southampton's squad doesn't fit the way he likes his team to play then just stick a big ol' WELP on that.

Crazy Ted posted:Probably because he was able to keep Leeds up even though they were in a relegation spot when he was hired by them 2/3 of the way through last season? Additionally, good managers don’t want to come to teams in serious danger of being relegated so you may have to take what you can get, as Leeds are currently finding out.

It's weird, I read it and was sure I remembered that but according to this article Hughes left Stoke in 2017 and they got relegated later and the same thing happened with Southampton in 2012. Anyway it's canon now so cheers to Mark Hughes, the only man to manage three relegated teams in one season (or was it four?)
