Bielsa has been in the job longer. Ralph is currently the 5th longest serving premier league manager. And long may he stay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted 8 November, 2021 Share Posted 8 November, 2021 Gerrard won't leave Rangers for Villa. If I was a betting man I would probably stick a tenner on Fonseca and another on a Lampard/Terry dream team. Doubt RH will go, after the board have stuck with him through thick and thin he would piss a lot of people off by jumping ship for another mid table club. Its taken him 3 years to get us to this stage, he won't get that luxury at any other club in the top flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 8 November, 2021 Share Posted 8 November, 2021 I'd be surprised if he went, but I said the same about Ings and Koeman. You'd certainly like to think there is a bit more loyalty with Ralph though given the last few years. But anything can happen in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BERMUDASAINT Posted 8 November, 2021 Share Posted 8 November, 2021 I think all this attention on Ralf is another example of how most people (pony) rate him as an excellent manager and is getting good results out of a limited budget team. We play a style that is pleasing to most fans. To suggest a contracted Manager in your own league shows alot of positives for Ralf and Saints, we are flattered but.......pony off!

In the summer I'd have paid for his taxi up there, but credit to him, he's got us playing this season, sorted the defence, and shown more tactical flexibility. Yep. I'm fickle, but on recent performances, I'd want him to stay. If he's offered a massive pay hike, money for transfers, and still plenty of autonomy, I wouldn't be surprised if he was tempted though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok bit of balance/sanity check here - firstly I said I'm not calling for his head, just that I would not be overly upset if he went. Secondly just 4 games ago most on here were calling for his head, and whilst we have done well in said 4 games it is not convincing IMHO. Yes football is a fickle game but in all honesty are we much improved in the last 3 years since Ralph has been in charge? Maybe we are getting there and I would be more than happy to be proven wrong but I'm not sure he's found the secret sauce as yet (appreciate he saved us in his first year but I'm talking about progression since then). Yes we might get someone a lot worse and get relegated but who dares wins. Oh and yes Pahars was tongue in cheek but would be a great story if he turned out to have been a great emerging manager and returned to us - remember reading an article where he said he loved his time with us and hoped to return in some capacity in the future. Again, I am not anti Ralph, it's just that I don't think he is the best thing since sliced bread despite our last 4 games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
