The Premier League Thread

Too slow, my friend. Too slow.

 

They were quick enough to sack Sam after he came in for a half a season. So they have form in that respect (unlike us).

 

Said the West Ham defender to Ings in training


A little insensitive I thought, given he’s injured!

 

Ings injured in first game. Oh dear how sad, never mind.I feel his pain. Not as much as he does, but it’s the thought that counts.

 

Que Wayne Rooney being their next manager.

 

Danny gets a ding.

 

Actually Rooney to Everton is a good shout. If he took them down, he would probably get them back again and have the fans behind him

 

Bielsa heavily in the frame for the Everton job apparently. That would be great for us if it happens

 

I’m not totally sure about that. I can only think of one club who didn’t get a new manager bounce

 

Bielsa has one way of playing and I dont think coming in mid season he would be able to get the players fit enough and understanding to play his way.

If I were Everton and wanted Bielsa I’d be going for Dyche til end of season and bring Bielsa in the summer regardless if survive or not. Give him the summer and pre season to drill his ideas into the side

 

Well that would ****ing suck

 

That would actually break my heart.

(Yes, I did want him out for his and our sakes, and yes I turned on him at the end, but on reflection, I bloody love the guy and I miss him)

 

He’d reached the end of the line here but I would take him back in a heartbeat over Jones.

 

Absolutely.

 

Thought he wanted to retire in 2024 ?

 

Contract to the end of season maybe?

 

I think he was taking us down (maybe not as emphatically as Nathan Jones), but you watch him keep Everton up at our expense, followed by smug ‘Southampton got what they deserve’ comments from pundits and other fans.
