General "Premier League" Thread

A day after getting sacked by Chelsea, Graham Potter has apparently been offered the Leicester job but turned it down.

Gary O'Neill has been sacked by Bornemouth which seems incredibly harsh.

He kept them up playing some great stuff and they were miles away from danger in the end.

Harsh and strange decision, I really hope they go down now.

Wouldn't you love to be in the boardroom when decisions like this are made...?

Former 'R' Gary O'Neill has taken over at Wolves on a 3 year deal.

The bottom 3 in the Premier League are the promoted teams Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United - who lost 8-0 at home to Newcastle.

Luton couldn't beat Wolves who played with 10 men for an hour.

The gap between the leagues is definitely getting bigger and I'm not sure FFP is working. It's adding to the disparity between the divisions.

Still a bit early for any of those teams to panic but even if they do get relegated  the c. £30m/year they receive  for the next 3 years will certainly help their attempt to return to the Premiership. Fulham have shown that if you invest your parachute payments wisely you can get relegated but then return a much stronger outfit.

As we have seen with Brentford and Brighton if you have owners who are organised and have structured their clubs correctly you can survive and compete in the Premier League.

The clubs with the deepest pockets will always have an advantage but as Chelsea have shown it doesn't matter how much you spend if you don't have an organised plan. 

RIP Sir Bobby Charlton, A brilliant player and World Cup winner.
