General Premier League Thread 2025/2026

I wouldn't have brought in Redknapp either, but Martin O Neill is currently demonstrating that when it comes to interim managers, being older and out of the game for a while is not necessarily a big deal.

Everything about that Spurs crisis is about character, they needed somebody who could pull them together and bring them on a "cup run" just to get to the end of the season and stay up.

They needed a man manager to blow smoke up their asses, instead they got a sergeant major to shout at them. The players are mentality midgets but that was a horrendous appointment, far worse than an Allerdyce or Redknapp ever would have been.

Right but the point is still if you had to play either side tomorrow then Spurs is an easier game right now

Wolves still took advantage of those chances when presented to them.
Wolves still kept themseleves in the game until they got those chances.
Wolves still went on to find a winner after being pegged back and not letting their heads drop.

That's 3 things I wouldn't be confident this Spurs side could do presently
Obviously over the course of a season the Spurs squad is better etc..

But right now, playing Spurs is the easiest game possible in the league until (if) their form turns which looks a long long way off.

Just saw Huzeler’s comments about Arsenal after the game. He’s a pup that young lad!

Interesting quotes from Slot "I am the same manager as last season. Its so hard to create tempo in a game if the other team doesnt want to have tempo. Its so hard to create so many chances in the current Premier league where everybody is so physical and has a certain playing style"

Is he right? Should he suck it up considering he has one of the very best squads?

I heard big ange talking on the podcast that Neville does and he outline a list of players he wanted and the budget wasn’t there an they ended up getting one established player, at least he won’t something with the club

He did defuse that situation alright but it was a disgrace their was anything made out of that, That gobshite Neville started they whole media attention on it.

Dan Burn tried to lift an injured player from the ground in the last two weeks and a Brighton player done it to Saka Wednesday night and nothing about it.

Hopefully that's enough credit in the bank for ye to keep him on into next season as well

Saka didn't look injured to be honest, and was quick enough to push back. Unless he'd fallen on his wallet, perhaps?

See some of the papers saying Emery could leave Villa in the summer because he won’t have money to spend.
Looks like there will be a huge turnover of managers in the summer.

Glasner and Tudor both confirmed gone at the end of the season.
Then you have Silva and Iraola both out of contract.

Pep, Slot, Emery, Howe, Carrick, all could go as well.

Carrick won't be kept on as manager, united are doing well but haven't looked great in the last 4 and Carricks not showing enough flexibility which hindered his time at Middlesbrough.

And if he loses 4 in a row those odds will change. Bookies cover themselves, I worked in one and laughed at the traders when they had Chamakh as favourite to be League top scorer when he joined Arsenal.

They don't know what's going on behind the scenes.
