Wilder departure now confirmed. Rumours that Jason Tindall is lined up to take over. If true, this would make Wilders sacking more of an insult to the guy.
Indeed. I thought Everton were poor this evening, couldn’t string 2 passes together. Burnley deserved it plus their goals were very good finishes
It wasn’t on the field performance that cost him his job. Think there have been big disagreements between the board and Wilder on things like recruitment and plans for next season. He did a great job getting them up but considering they’ve spent more than £70million since last January, he was wrong to keep moaning about lack of money and to frequently say the squad was full of championship players.
****ing hell, I thought you were joking! Flopped miserably at Leeds, who they hate. Went to Hibs and did the same. Awful appointment.
Interim and he’s been their under 23s boss so makes sense to see it through until the summer and then they can reassess the situation then
And another £20m-odd on McBurnie. Goals between them this season? 1. Their top scorer is David McGoldrick, who cost nothing and had to have a trial to get a contract.
Another defeat for Southampton. They've won once in 12 games. You can see them getting dragged into a late relegation battle, especially as they have Burnley, West Brom and Fulham still to play.
They're **** at the moment, but I'm not sure they're quite that ****. They only really need one result. Having said that, there's often one side that looks safe but plummets into the relegation zone late on and goes down. Could be them this year, I guess. As I posted on the Prem board; I think that people have to start questioning Hassenhuttl's fitness regime. Saints generally start games well, then burn out completely after the break and collapse. Once or twice could be mentality or coincidence. This is happening constantly, though.
They look completely clueless and are so easy to overrun. The 4 teams below them are currently playing with a lot more fight and have been harder to beat for a good while. Has a team ever been top of the league and been relegated in the same season?
I can remember Millwall being top of the league in December and going down in the 2nd tier. Mick McCarthy ****ed off for the Ireland job, they drew on the last day and went down! 1995/96. Not sure about the Premier League, but I can't remember it happening.
Wolves under Mick McCarthy were top when we went to Molynuex about 9 or 10years ago. We won 3-0, think Adebayor scored. Wolves went down that year.
