Yes, am Marty McFly.

We aren't staying up with Jones as manager. People can call me a bedwetter and wet fanny as much as they like, it's not going to happen.

I gave up on our Premier League place as soon as Jones was announced as manager. Anyone on here seriously believe Everton are going to raid the Championship for their next manager?

As I said above, it might be if he does the business for Bournemouth and sends us down at the same time.

They won't need to be lucky to win!!

By sticking with Jones

Guess they will have all kinds of relegation clauses etc in the contracts. Guess the point is at least they are going for it. Contrast it to us and the complete clusterfuck that we have become.

If this goes through, that's nearly 40m Bournemouth would have spent in less than a week. Not sure if he is the answer for us, but if scores the goals or gets the assists that keeps them up, we are going to look pretty stupid.

Fable

I think he may have meant the ship!

Frank Lampard isn't a very good manager? That's the only logical conclusion

Yep, even though they are an absolute shit show, can't deny they have better quality than us.

Be amusing if this does happen and he absolutely rips it up for them.

I could see it happening. Imagine if he keeps Everton up whilst we go down.

Can he play left wing?

If he really said that, then he and the owners can just fuck off now.

I agree games change, just not a huge fan of making three subs at once. In my opinion it creates a bit of confusion with the incoming players having to adjust to the pace of the game at the same time.

Making three subs at once is basically saying you got the line up and formation wrong from the start of the game. It also smacks of desperation.

To be honest, anyone with any quality is going to steer well clear of us. We are a shambolic club at the moment. Bottom of the league, shit squad and a clueless manager who still thinks five across the back line works.

So, what's the club rationale for hiring someone worse than Ralph? They must have thought he was better equipped to keep us up. End of the day, why bother sacking him if the new bloke does an even worse job

Ralph needed to go. No question. It's the complete clusterfuck of giving Jones the job that will see us relegated. Most clubs get rid of a manager to improve them, we must be the only club to hire a manager that has actually made us worse. No mean feat that.

Or new signings. Why bother with making any.

Yeah I agree. It was always likely to be a one nil game. We didn't lose because of the ref was the point I was trying to make. We lost because we were marginally more shit than Villa were.

I disagree. There was still at least twenty five minutes of play after the disallowed goal. More than enough time to win the game. By all means blame the officials for chalking off the goal, but to suggest we lost the game because of the referree is, in my opinion looking for excuses.

I hate it when people blame the ref because of a defeat. If we were any good we should have won the game outright. Winning or losing shouldn't be because of the officials.
