Timing's a bit weird though. It's almost a month since the Play Off Final, the transfer window is open and they've signed a player. |  |

if 92 points is underachieving, then russell martin and farke should have gone last year. think it's more of a clash with the owners |  |

Think it's good news for us. Things are more uncertain for them now and every chance the new manager comes in and struggles. If they don't start well the pressure will be on with the end of parachute payments in sight. |  | |  |

Dunno. I think they got 90 points in spite of Wilder rather than because of him. Hopefully they lose Hamer and Souza but any half competent manager is going to have them very competitive. |  | |  |

Clubs that come straight back down only get two years of parachute payments. |  |

Harsh is to put it mildly! If we get to the state of saying that those who come down should expect to go back up then we really do have a closed shop in the Prem don' we. No team has a divine right to go back up; I hope we don;t fall into that trap - though I do smile wryly at some of things I read on here at times. We've just spent 20 years wallowing in mid table mediocrity in whatever league we've been in and all of a sudden some think we have a divine right to go back up. If we (or Sheff U or any other team) go up it will be the same as before - hard work, decent management, and probably a decent chunk of investment |  |

Gather the board was split so its taken time to get to consensus. Given they way he interacted with Plymouth fans towards the end of the season I think good. No doubt he'll get another job thiugh |  |

I've not been in many press conferences with him but he came across as fantastically miserable when they beat us 1-0 at Bramall Lane a few years back. |  | |  |

Not sure about that. He seems to be a Sheffield United man. Not sure he’s pulled up trees anywhere else? The media beckons. |  |

I dont think anywhere else matters does it? Hes lead them to the PL twice I think, once from L1. Has PL experience and is a name. Thats normally enough to get another job, might not be immediate but someone will, unless he's had enough but he doesnt seem like one who would be a good pundit |  |

He’s not a good pundit but he’s been a regular on 5live in between jobs previously. You’re probably right and a bit of radio work keeps him in the shop window. |  |

Did they under-achieve really? They were one of 4 clubs with parachute payments and they finished 3rd 14 points ahead of 4th (thats with the points deduction taken off too). |  |

It’s hardly good news for us if they’re sacking a weak manager. They’ll be a bigger threat with a better manager. [Post edited 17 Jun 2025 14:44]
