The Premier League Thread

No thank you.

 

I rate him but Ralph is not going anywhere for quite some time.

 

Gorgeous

 

Everton really are dreadful at home.

Makes it so annoying that we put in one of our worst performances of the season when we went there.

 

Big win for Burnley that.

 

And that is how NOT to hold a high line from a free kick.

 

Fulham played the first half with 10 men behind the ball and they're 3-0 down after an hour.

 

Sure we shipped 5. But we were bold enough to take on City's main guys.

Fulham have played for a 0-0 draw since the first minute, against a hugely depleted City, and are also three down anyway.

I'll take Ralph's way, thanks.

 

Would rather lose 5-2 than 3-0. Fulham may even be lucky to keep it to just the 3.

 

No De Bruyne, no Foden, no Sterling, no Gundogan and no Mahrez and they're still 3 down. They should have just gone for it.

 

If we didn’t have Ralph, I’d take Wilder

 

I wouldn't be shocked if Bmouth were the winners out of this. They get to offload Tindall to Sheff Utd (as assistant manager) - via their own previous sacking - and can now pick up Wilder from them as his replacement.

Woodgate's only chance of getting the job himself in the summer is surely by getting promotion - which I can't see. And Wilder must surely be a stand out candidate, especially after three months to recharge his batteries first.

 

Yep. He has been a success in every job he has had.

 

Indeed, he can't be judged on this season alone and has worked miracles to get Sheffield Utd to where they got to with the squad at his disposal. I mean we rejected McGoldick and Billy Sharp several years ago in the Championship. He should be a hero with Blades fans as he has added multi millions to the value of the club.

 

He deserves a shot at a bigger club than the Mini-Skates IMO.

 

The only PL job which I can see being available anytime soon is Palace (given that Roy's contract is up).

Maybe Newcastle, but I still feel that's unlikely.

Other than Liverpool, and maybe Arsenal, I wouldn't say that any PL club is under-achieving this season. Which maybe illustrates how we've got to March, and Wilder is only the third manager to have left.

So if he does want a bigger club than Bmouth, the options aren't plentiful. He might be waiting a while (assuming he doesn't look towards Celtic or abroad).

 

There are bigger clubs with potential in the Championship than Bournemouth too.

 

Historically, yes of course.

But whenever looking at a Championship club, those in receipt of parachute payments are always going to be highly attractive.

And again, there's the question of availability.

 

He'll end up at West Brom.

 

When I saw Eddie Howe in the Sky studio, for the Palace v WBA game, I thought he would be up for either of the clubs.
Might do well at WBA, with the parachute payments and with them being a yo-yo club.
