Because it's their club, not ours.

Genuinely, that wouldn't be any worse, and Jones is on their level. Scary.

It'll be money and ego holding them back. Would they admit their mistake? Would they be willing to pay the compensation to get rid on top of the compo they paid to hire him in? As much as I don't subscribe to the crazy "they want relegation" idea, I think that if they stick with him, they're accepting that it's a reality and won't throw money at trying to stay up.

I get your point, and I think a lot has to do with the dressing room respecting the manager, ie his name, track record and reputation. Big egos want and need a bit of gravitas to manage them. Frank gained that respect and bought it with him to the premier league. There'll always be an exception though - Vincent Kompany could walk into a premier league club tomorrow and have the respect of the dressing room from the start.

Yep. No issue with hiring from the championship at all. But signing kids, some schooled in Pep's style, then hiring a manager who makes Allardyce's football look like it's from the future, is mental.

That's a daft comment. No football club owner wants relegation. They just seem clueless and as out of their depth as he is.

This is retrogression. We're much worse than we have been in many years. It's sub Pellegrino.

I've never seen a poster argue with himself before!! Ralph out by the way. Clueless, and turning us into an embarrassment.

He would walk into this team at the moment.

Absofuckinglutely. And for good reason.

It's pub football in the PL. Let them have the ball, try to win it, bang it forward, feed off it. it pains me to say it, but it's worse than Allardyce or Dyche football.

I'll lend you my guinea pig. I'll send it over in an uber.

The same people as sanctioned Bazunu, Larios, Jones, etc. Shambles.

Yep. Nobody is convincing that this rabble are better. Awful judgement.

We're not that good.

Yep. We're fucked.

Jonesball doesn't involve having the ball.

So made up by bookies, like odds. Zero science. Just guesswork bollox.

Who makes up those numbers? More to the point, who gives a monkeys about them? Call me old fashioned, but I prefer to watch the game.

Absolutely no idea mate. I can only guess it's a belief that he can't last long enough to justify starting. I can't think of any other logical explanation.

Can't agree on Ely. Decent player, just lacking pace. That said, I can't make a case for him over Stu Armstrong.

Yep. I cannot understand it. He's decent and experienced. It should be him plus others.

Interesting. 532 I'm guessing. Not sure what his DCC issue/Lyanco obsession is all about.

Weird line up coming I reckon. Got a feeling we'll get something tonight though 🤞🤞🙏🤞🤞

The kids of the future will be far better placed to add up their debts. Well done Rishi, that'll help.
