Yes, his personality, philosophy and ability to perfectly capture and communicate emotions and moments will be irreplaceable. But fail we may, sail we must - onwards and upwards with big baldy Slot!

No offence intended to our Celtic brethren but this from Rishi Nouveau made me laugh.

I reckon there’s a big endorsement from Pep in all of this.

It’s fascinating. I’ve often wondered how a Pep/Jose etc would fare at the likes of Burnley with zero funds and lower quality players.

We now will see the reverse as Kompany applies his approach and tactics to better players.

Tbf, Alonso was relegated with Sociedad B before joining Leverkeusen.

Yeah I caught that on TalkSport earlier. Rumours of big Pep involvement

Still, VK’s record to get handed the reigns to one of the powers of world football is a massive risk surely

Tbf he comes across well in that Burnley documentary with good ideas and philosophies so will be very interesting.

Huge risk. And kind of crazy that so many other experienced managers weren’t interested/turned Bayern down.

Wonder what Harry Kane thinks as he searches for his elusive silverware??!

Wayne Rooney. Failed at DC United, failed at Derby, failed at Birmingham… gets another go with Plymouth Argyle.
After the Argyle board making decent appointments with Ryan Lowe and then Steven Schumacher, we had the dud that was Ian Foster, and now this…
Believe that Liam Rosenior (recently sacked by Hull) was the first choice, but turned it down. Rooney does feel a bit desperate.

Congrats. :clap:
It’ll be extra sweet for Russell Martin after how Farke treated him when he was a player at Norwich.

Leeds were terrible today, they’ve had a really bad 2 months.

Must be odd going into a job knowing you were 8th/9th choice.

Posted in the podcasts thread too, thought I’d cover all bases… :ok_hand:

Have an eight-week-old baby and need easy viewing while rocking him late at night.

Currently working through old football matches - this one being a cracker.

Especially good when the result isn’t shown in the thumbnail or description.

Robson was my childhood hero, what a player.
