    Possibly but a lot depends on the overall performance. If similar to today's second half, the pressure is really on Ralph, but let's see.

    We’ll have another three Prime Ministers before the dnd of the month, whereas Ralph is likely to stay till the World Cup starts

    I think that is our lot of PMs until the World Cup I’m afraid.

    They will then bury the news of another one whilst we all bask in becoming World Champions.


    EDIT: I’d take that btw

    Still time for another.
    And the team turn up at number 10 and are ushered in to meet Jacob Rees Mogg.
    Well, there’s more chance of him being PM than us winning the WC, on current form and, like Southgate, the Tories have their favourites, even if everyone else wants them out of the team.
    It’s actually getting a bit like Have I Got News For You.
    Whilst HIGNIFY has a different guest host each week, it looks like the Tories could be following their lead, in the hope that one might do well enough to be asked to return for a second week.

    A club like that seems like the next move for him really, if he does go can see our fans losing their **** because we didn’t get him

    Well yeah Villa are way bigger and more attractive than us for a variety of reasons, still won’t stop some people complaining when we get somebody 90% of people have never heard of

    Rumour is Gerrard has been sacked and Villa apparently in for Ralph

    Tbh, I'm less afraid of us hiring someone 90% of people have never heard of, and far more afraid of us hiring someone 100% of people know.

    I have backed Ralph for longer than pretty much anyone I know but even I have to admit that tomorrow Ralph is in the last chance saloon.

    Out of interest, if we were to lose tomorrow, would anyone on here still be "Ralph in"?

    I’ve been ready for a change for a few weeks now. It may be the club are working on it.

    I think it’s more if we win how many would want to keep him?

    Same.

    But I would also be surprised if he went there. Villa might want him, but, hey, I would quite like to date Mila Kunis. It's not going to happen.

    I saw a quite ridiculous article earlier that suggested Villa had Tuchel as their backup in case they couldn't get Poch. I mean, seriously? How could anyone write that through the howls of laughter? Note that I'm not saying it is impossible for them to get either of them (but both seem unlikely). But the notion that Tuchel as the fall back option?

    Incidentally I have seen comments (admittedly from obvious misery guts) suggesting we are the worst team in the league BUT this would all change with a change of manager. That is it. That is the difference between being clearly the worst team in the league and not. Seems baffling to me.

    What is hurting is that some of the teams expected to struggle aren't (Bournemouth, Brentford and Fulham). And the ones down at the bottom seem like that on paper their superior squads and resource will see them through. But if we are having a bad season then what about Leicester, Wolves, Villa and West Ham? Masses more investment over the past several years.
