I just had a brief, giddy moment, where I imagined keeping Ralph for both next season and the one after.
If Poch wins tonight and decides he can win things at Spuds, then who knows? Don't think that Ralph would be a big enough name yet for any of the other big five, but then there is always Everton...
If Bayern or Dortmund are in need of a manager over the coming seasons dont be surprised to see them come knocking. He is very well thought of in Germany.
What if we get to next summer and find ourselves back in the Ron situation. Last year and refusing to extend? I'm saying now, just let him see it out and we'll deal with the pending trouble after!
Good problem to have i guess. Only way he goes to a top club is if we have a great season and most likely push for 7th. Doesnt sound too bad to me!
True. But I think we would have to break into the top 4 before Utd take notice. City wouldn't take him unless it was via a bigger club.
Which is why I think the idea of playing him in the next two games is excellent. Nothing to lose (yeah, a few points and places in the league, but meh!) Play him and if he crumbles then we know and he just doesn’t sit on the bench again. At least we know.
