2024/25 Relegation Thread

[JLW]

City will batter us without even trying.

We are the 'corner turner' for every club and player out of form.

Rhol was from Bayern wasn't he. Got a turgid Sheff Wed team playing OK. Premier league is unforgiving though. No idea on Perreira.

Rohl's well regarded. But he's another "stick to his principals" manager. So they'll get pumped some games, win some.

But like you say, Prem is a big jump and a relegation scrap is different beast.

He has Sheff Wed in 9th atm (I think) which is quite something considering they were doomed last season, he has turned them around, Southampton is a huge job though given their position. If he pulls it off they wont keep hold of him though that's the thing.

The job is similar to Sheffield United, Wilder took over again at this stage last season but results didn't change at all. However they signed well in the summer and are well placed to come back up.

Sheffield United are big underachievers imo. Regular 25k crowds but never really establish themselves in prem like all of Brentford, Bournemouth, Fulham and Brighton have done so surely have to do better coming up again.

Apparently he was an assistant of Ralph Hasenhuttl at Southampton so that's a big part of the link as will come in and get them back to that style.

I am not good enough. I am the boss. I am the manager. I have to find solutions and so far I haven't. That's the reality.

Who said the above? Pep Guardiola. A manager taking responsibility for what happens on the field. Rare and refreshing.

Will also say Chris Powell is a huge influence at Wednesday as he's the assistant gaffer there.

Rohl to southampton looks like thinking for the long term get him in early to start for next season. The wolves choice periera just looks like when we had a choicr between him and lampard as no other chpice wanted the job. I would be worried if them is a real big risk

Got to spend to stay in the prem.

They got their big money signings wrong after they survived the first season and Wilder got sacked for it.

He's a better manager than Rohl. But not as sexy.

 

[jazzy]

Where is Rhol from and what kind of rep does he have?

Hopefully he loves his defenders to piss around at the back as well.

Sheffield Wed manager. Was assistant to Hasenhutl at Southampton.

Sheffield Wed manager. Was assistant to Hasenhutl at Southampton.

If he's learned from Hasenhutl we can safely say Southampton are relegated.

Really? Middle of January it's Villa and Spurs within three days and also got both Manchester clubs, Arsenal and RS to play yet. Critical to beat Leicester at home in early Feb but then it's a long wait to May to play Ipswich and Southampton right at the end. That could still work out well if on 32-33 points so just need one win out of the two to virtually confirm safety.

I would say it's a tough second half of the season for the final Goodison games so vital to pick up an away win or two from somewhere.

Don't win at Man. City and it's one away win in the whole of 2024.

We have west ham, Leicester, Southampton and Ipswich at home, has to be 10 points there or we will struggle

Away we have wolves, palace

 

[OneTrueLegend]

Dangerous to predict, but I'm starting to feel confident we can make it through Dec. Looking at the fixtures of the "relegation rivals" (worst Marvel film ever), its looking positive (see below). Hopefully after these next 3 games we'll have new owners and slowly start climbing the league.

Thoughts etc...

Wolves:
Leicester
Man Utd
Spurs

Everton:
Chelsea
City
Forest

Ipswich:
Newcastle UTD
Arsenal
Chelsea

Leicester:
Wolves
Liverpool
City

Palace: (Probably the easiest run)
Arsenal
Bournemouth
Southampton

I just have a feeling that we will draw all 3 games, so we will get 3 points,

Wolves I think will get beat in all 3, Ipswich will get beat in all 3, Leicester will beat Wolves and lose the other 2. I think Palace will lose to Arsenal, draw with Bournemouth and beat Southampton.

We need a couple of away wins from somewhere before end of season
