Overall Southampton played well, but playing out from the back is their undoing. They don't have the players to do it !! I wasn't judging Southampton on just this one game. When you consider where they were not so long back you'll understand what I meant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 12 March 2021 Share Posted 12 March 2021 Sad day for them, he'd done such a brilliant job and for it to turn sour like this is a real shame. Also shows that so few managers have an ideal ending after a good time- they tend to leave after a bad run/ fan pressure. Not sure Lineker using Norwich as an example is correct too- sacking Farke after barely giving him any money would've been very harsh. Sheffield United do have the excuse of money spent to back up any claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopla10 Posted 12 March 2021 Share Posted 12 March 2021 There's this weird pattern that teams come up, play some really good football and stay up, then the next season struggle and go down. It feels like Burnley had the right strategy with Dyche. I don't know whether something internally in the club has gone wrong but I'm not sure it's turned sour. Small clubs yo-yoing up and down leagues is just the nature of things, especially for smaller clubs that don't have the financial muscle. I don't think it helps that pundits and people see the PL as some kind of holy-land, managers getting sacked just to stay in it (yes I get the irony of those words given what we did), fans bawling their eyes out at the realization they're going down like they're being exiled. Better to ignore all that rubbish and stick with Wilder and the project he's been working on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 12 March 2021 Share Posted 12 March 2021 Stating the obvious when saying a win and 3 more points to the tally is always valuable, but there's some weeks where it's even more prevalent given other fixtures occurring. Not least when you're playing a side in the bottom 3, and your rivals in the table play each other... Arsenal vs Spurs Man Utd vs West Ham Perhaps ideal scenario (if we win), is for Man Utd and Arsenal to win also. Means an 8-point gap remains from us to 5th, and 11pts between us and a currently in-form Spurs. A bonus if Leeds can beat Chelsea but not expecting it given Tuchel has hit the ground running and then some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet when O’Neil went into international management it didn’t really work out all that well. I’m not saying I’m right, nor would I actually be against Wilder being an England manager in the future. I just don’t think it would work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth go up Blades come down. For whatever reason, I can't see Bournemouth fans taking to a character like Wilder. It's probably the Howe years that did it, but they just don't match the salt of the earth profile he has. I really like Bournemouth as a place, but it's not exactly a good fit for a character like him, in the same way I couldn't see Pearson in the dugout for them. In Yorkshire and most of Lancashire, however? He could walk into any club. Trust me, they love him up there. I reckon he'll wind up at another Northern club in the top 2 divisions. I can see him at Leeds after Bielsa eventually goes elsewhere, or Burnley if something ever happens to weaken Dyche's position. And despite Sheff Utd's current predicament, given he's still being talked about as a future England manager he might even fancy now as a good time for a crack at the Celtic job if they're desperate enough to employ an Englishman.

Chocolate Teapot Posted 12 March 2021 Share Posted 12 March 2021 Have heard most of the PL managers think Wilder is an idiot and was going to be found out at this level eventually. Most won't be that sad to hear him go - he wasn't often sticking around for chats with others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
