Bad Wolf

At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localised entirely within our stadium?!

Those first two sentences had me on the hook. Solid 8/10

"The DAILY MAIL is reporting"

Did you see the amount we spent in the summer without selling anyone? It was perhaps misspent however the board obviously aren't cheatskates.

Imagine if they unveiled him before the game tomorrow. What a HUGE boost to the atmosphere that would be!

I've been reliably informed by certain corners of our fanbase that the owners aren't investing money, have no ambition and will only sign teenagers to sell on for a profit. They've also advised me that no repeatable players will want to come and play for Nathan Jones. With that in mind, we clearly won't be signing this guy or even interested in doing so and all the journo's are wrong.

Gakpo sure but wasn't everyone turning their nose up at Ramos in the summer?

A few of them have mentioned Ainsworth. That'd be a huge gamble for both parties but then I guess so would any other potential appointment.

I believe the Skacel family are not even allowed to use their own surname without written permission from Saintsweb

No I think that we'll sign 2 players but be linked with around 8 or 9 a day just like most other clubs.

Norberto Bercique linked now. Decent enough goal record though mostly for teams I've never heard of.

The Ings links have started again. Can't see it tbh and if we're going to go down, I'd rather have Adams than Ings.

Urgh now they think they're getting Dyche!

I live near Plymouth and go occasionally, he can absolutely do no wrong. Their keeper is incredible too but then so was Bazunu in League One.

Just seen Pompey fans on Facebook (their version of the Echo page) suggesting they should go for Gary O Neil. They honestly think he'd leave a Premier League job that he's only just got to manage a midtable League One team. I know they have an overinflated sense of importance but even for them that's delusional.

Based on his performance in The Championship? I don't get it. Armstrong and Adams both have better records than him in that league.

Someone who works at the club. When they say stuff usually, they normally say to me something like "But take that with a pinch of salt..." or "But you never know how true that is" - This one they were adamant was true.

Not surprised on that price to hire Jones. Actually I thought it'd be more! I was just shocked at that price apparently being the lowest in the PL so far. I also remember someone on here posting that Ralph had given half to charity and that most managers do. They didn't say which charity it was though. If indeed it is the norm, the local charities in and around Watford must be loaded. EDIT: Do you know if that figure is just for Jones or if that includes his coaches as well?

That one is DEFINATELY not me. I mean...Not that the other is either but at least the MLG link is plausible.

I have it on good authority that Ralph's pay out was 10 million quid and that was STILL the lowest compensation amount of any sacked PL manager this season.

I honestly think we're going down regardless of this game.

I've been thinking about how our players simply aren't very good (Other than KWP, I can't imagine anyone looking at many of them if we go down) and it's made me compare it to the team we had in 2005 and make me wonder how on Earth that team got relegated by finishing bottom. We had a seriously good attack and world class keeper. That team had absolutely no business being relegated. Just something to ponder.

He'll come in handy in The Championship

Yeah because all of our summer transfers were free...
