The Official Premier League 2026/27 Thread

[Philby]

From March...

Shaping up for a hugely turbulent summer in the PL given the amount of managers who will end the season* with their clubs but not be in the role come the start of the next season


*or, more safely, finish gameweek 31

Had a quick dig. As suspected, tis season has seen the lowest % of managers retained over the summer in PL history.

A decent bet - although it could well be somene who has minimal credit in the bank from last season, like Eddie Howe.

Le Bris and Farke might not see a whole lot of loyalty for their achievements last season if they don't start well.

Let's hope it's better than the previous two.

It wouldn't take much.

Im going to a way more rugby this season.

The Premier League is pure wank.

Good shout. Farke and Howe are hanging on.

Really interested to see how Palace go.

Souness mightn’t be everyones cup of tea but knows an awful lot about midfield play.

I find it hilarious on-line when Keane or Souness are talking about how a midfielder should play and modern fans deride them as clueless thugs and cavemen.

A 23 yr old Keane or Souness is a €200m player in this era.

The problem with these pundits is they dont communicate what they know very well. Im sure the likes of Keane, Scholes, Gerrard, Lamps etc all know way more than us about football.

But the shit they (mostly) come out with would be like a load of us down the pub. Occasionally one of the pundits will point something out, and it's good, but most of it is inane crap.

Tell me something I don't know Roy. Thats your job.

Souness is spot on there btw.

Good point about Le Bris and Farke Philby.
Last season means nothing from August onwards!

I think as pundits they are told not to be controversial and this could prevent them from saying exactly what they think Noll.
I totally agree with you on Souness.
