Title: Jol Sweepstake
Post by: DukeTyrion on November 01, 2013, 01:58:11 PM
Ok, many many people think that Jol will not survive past the end of the season, so to make it interesting, let's have a sweep. You have to decided which game will be his last game as manager, or if he will be here next season.

Since I don't think we have to worry about him going this weekend, all entries must be in my the start of the Liverpool game. You can choose any match from then to the end of the season, including the F A Cup 3rd Round, or still here next season.

Let's at least turn the current grumblings into something fun  :021:

I think he'll be here until we are relegated. Doesn't look like he will go and Khan doesn't fill me with the confidence that he'll change things. The Jaguars are firmly on their arse and their coach is going nowhere it appears.

1 point from our next 4 games will not be enough.... Losing to west ham away will be the nail in the coffin. Hopefully it is sunday even if we win

Losing FA Cup Final to Darlington. Berbatov sent off after 5 minutes for time wasting . The winning goal was a Senderos OG.

There is no relegation in the NFL, so there is no need to be in a hurry like the Prem. Its apples and oranges. Jags are rubbish as well though. I'm trying to take the businessman's route with all this and assume he felt he was buying undervalued assets and is looking to increase their value. I hope to God someone who knows this league, and European football, is advising him about the risk and the penalty of relegation.

My prediction is he will be sacked after Swansea. It will be 5 match losses on the bounce. He'll be done.
Title: Re: Jol Sweepstake
Post by: The Bronsons on November 01, 2013, 11:59:10 PM
My best guess is West Ham will beat us on New Years Day in a truly gutless performance. Khan will pull the trigger 24 hours later.

Fall into bottom three after losing to West Spam, Jol sacked after Villa by which time we are in seriously deep sh1t.

I'll take the Spurs game on 4th December.

November is good month to change manager - a month before the transfer window opens.

Khan may not be reactive,but he will be seeking advice and seeing who is available.

My hunch is Jol will go after the  Swansea game.

He'll resign in May because a manager of his proven quality shouldn't have to manage in the Championship.

Still a few days to join the sweepstake before Saturday's game ... no entries will be taken after that.

Jol still here next season is still available ;-)

Not sure a Poll has enough options, or would show who voted for which option.

Perhaps he'll be the last one out before the official receivers move in.

I hope he's going to turn the light out, that electricity is costly stuff to an organisation that will have had every penny stripped from it by mismanagement.

Happy Days!

Aston Villa at home 7th Dec. This is due to AM taking his time to get the right replacement in ready for the transfer window. MJ will get the Spanish Archer on the Saturday and GH will take over on Sunday with the promise of large funds available in January. See what happens when you polish your Crystal balls.

Well, PaulJ123's hopes have come and gone.

RidgeRider, Berserker, Alternative & cottage cheese all have their hopes set of some activity this week, whilst Deanothefulhamfan thinks Saturday will be his last day in charge.

Watch this space ...

I am right in the mix to win the sweepstake..... Do I win a curly wurly if I am right, or are we on serious prizes like a bag of m and m's

I was so optimistic in saying we would get a point in those four fames, I must have escaped the negative corner for a split second.....
