They probably won't win a cup or trouble the top 8, they'll be looking over their shoulders at best like a Palace or Everton. Then there will be a time when they're bottom 6 and lose 3 on the trot and everyone says "Jones isn't a Premiership manager". Not saying he is or isn't, but I'll be amazed if their fans don't turn against him at some point in next 12 months. Brighton fans were trying to get Potter out last season, if you're not top 8 in the Prem you're 3 results from big pressure if you aren't a "name". Thought I'd revisit the manager thread, some interesting comments to look back on. Emery not looking like any improvement on Gerrard at Villa to date. No surprise that Jones has already been written off by Southampton fans, turning on him last week, rightly or wrongly. If you're not a name you've no chance if you don't hit the ground running. Same at Huddersfield, Fotheringham predictably lasted a few months, same as Schofield before him. Looking for their 4th manager in 7 months, they deserve to go down (with Blackpool and Wigan hopefully!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBA play PNE and Luton, and Boro have Birmingham and Millwall. They can't afford any defeats surely. I forgot Boro were 3rd bottom in October, and WBA too. Can't argue with the jobs done by Carrick and Corberan in the last few months. I hold my hands up I didn't think Carrick would cut it but so far it looks an inspired appointment.

No surprise for me. I hold my hands up I was wrong, loads of managers have done it on a temp basis when there's no pressure, Gary O'Neill for one. Its a different ball game when you're the one in charge of everything, from what staff you bring in to transfers to dealing with disgruntled players etc. Fair play to Carrick. Talking of Bournemouth/O'Neill (who I've got loads of time for), I just heard they were the 4th biggest spenders in Europe in January! Pressure on him even more now.

He's a very, very odd man. Thought that for a few seasons, and got to be careful because I think he's probably got actual issues, but he's he's shambles.

So anyone with the chance of a job elsewhere won't go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
