Bit of a blow for Gerrard that. His replacement will be very important for Villa

That's the brain departing.

Gerrard is in all sorts of trouble.

Alan Pardew leaving CSKA Sophia due to the racist behaviour of thier fans. Excellent stand taken.

Some Charlotteans (read: fools) want Pardew to replace Ramirez as the manager here.

God help me if that happens.

Neil Critchley leaves Blackpool to take the role. Thats a very decent appointment.

 

[YoungWolf]

Done well there. Blackpool must be gutted

 

[Tony Towner]

Well it was a nice 24 hours

 

[YoungWolf]

Kevin Betsy in at Crawley. Really good coach and good person too. Be very interesting to see how he gets on after a year with Arsenal U23s. Taken the U18s coach with him too.

 

[Tony Towner]

Colin's retirement didn't last long. He wants the Barnsley job

*Pretends to be shocked at this news*

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I wish he would just fuck off.

If ever a club needed to get an appointment right it's Crawley.

I get that Ireland's current pool of players is pretty dire (shockingly, when he's fit Doherty is genuinely one of their best players), but Stephen Kenny has won 5 of his 24 games in charge. Those wins were against Andorra, Qatar (also drew with these), Azerbaijan (also drew with these), Luxembourg (also lost to these) and Lithuania.

Grim stuff, I don't know where they go from here. They're rapidly going the same way as Hungary were through the 90s/00s and Bulgaria are now.

We were making progress and putting in good performances in the latter half of the world cup qualifying, drawing with Portugal and serbia and things seemed to be on an upwards curve, last two games have been 3 steps back thought, game against Scotland suddenly more important then it should be. More worryingly for Kenny is the results and performances improved when he got in Tuchals assistant as a coach, he has gone now to Belgium and performances have dropped and we do struggle against teams who sit back.

Couple of things in Kennys favour is he is dirt cheap which is important for an association which is broke at €250k a year (and has just signed new contract), people can see the resources at his disposal and were prepared to accept short term pain for the bigger picture and we do seem to have a good crop of under21's coming through (know very few will make it) who are going well in euro qualifying and that's without the 6 or 7 who qualify who are in the full squad already.
Unless things collapse completely he will still be there at start of next euros qualifying.

Nathan Collins was easily the best player on view the other night . Very comfortable on the ball , never looked rushed , always seemed to do the right thing .

 

[1986]

Stephen Kenny is going no where . Our cupboard is bare in terms of new quality players coming through , patience is needed . Kenny loves the job and is cheap relatively speaking .
We are also now trying to play an attractive style of football - kind of hard to do when the players at our disposal are limited enough . We'll see improvement again shortly enough , it'll be like that , peaks and troughs .

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Indeed the problems go back from before Kennys time, since we beat Wales away in a key world cup qualifier in autumn 2017 to make the playoffs, under O'Neill and Mick we won 3 out of 14 competitive games (Gibraltar x2 & Georgia).
So 8 wins in 38 since Cardiff all against minnows, we have been at a low ebb for a very long time.

Looking at the side who played the other night Collins is the PL regular from the end of last season and that's soon to be ex - incidently I'd have him at Wolves, more skilful than your average Bunley centre half.

Like the North there's a big talent gap at the moment

Was thinking the same about Collins watching the game the other night, seems to have bit of pace as well. They spent £15million on him so he won't be cheap.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Jon Dahl Tomasson to Blackburn. Won the league with Malmö in each of his two seasons there and got them to the CL group stage last year.

 

[Kenny]

Kompany in at Burnley.

Just scored a cracking goal, showing skills you would never expect of a Burnley centre half
