    Reckon Ruud is there as the caretaker option when Ten Hag starts the season badly?

    Come on Heimir, it's only one letter different, it'll be fine!
  • Craig Bellamy set to be named Wales manager:

    Suspects that moves a few of us from the 'wanting them to win' camp to wanting to see them lose!!
    Having read some of the stuff he's done, the charity work, the setting up of a football academy in Africa spending over 1m of his own money, as well as the depression and the bankruptcy, i kind of feel like he's not as bad as he was made out to be.

    By all accounts he was a difficult player to manage though, so i get why people wouldn't warm to him.
    Arne Rise is not a fan of him :)

    Southgate will be the next United manager.
  • Former Hull City boss Liam Rosenior has been appointed manager of French club RC Strasbourg.

  • Former Newcastle manager Steve Bruce, 63, is in talks to become Jamaica manager. The Englishman has not worked since being sacked by West Brom in October 2022. (Mail)

    Good news for Jerk Chicken restaurants in Jamaica.

  • Can't wait to see if he puts on a Hammersmith accent like he put on the Dutch one.
  • Will probably see Schteeve at The Valley to watch Karoy and if we sign him Kahiem Dixon.

    Good news for brolly sellers
  • Raith Rovers have sacked manager Ian Murray just one game into the new Scottish Championship season. 

    Sack him in the summer if you wanted rid, surely?

    Took Iceland to the Euros and WC. Took Jamaica to Copa America but yeah, it's because of beating England 
  • Ryan Lowe sacked by Preston after the first game of the season, is that a record?
  • The first EFL manager bites the dust. And it isn't Rooney!

  • Surprised by the timing but not surprised Lowe has gone. Feels like Preston have stagnated around that group of teams that flirt with relegation but ultimately just do enough to claw themselves clear.

    Ryan Lowe is an obvious Plymouth move though. 
  • Yep can deffo see Rooney leaving within the first 5 games and Lowe replacing him.

    My thoughts exactly when I heard the news.

    Maybe in England.  Two posts above yours - same happened in Scotland a week ago.

    Perfect for a return there. Plymouth only appoint scouse managers, which does seriously reduce the options .

    ever since Trevor Hemmings died, Preston have struggled, he was probably their financial godfather .. with SOOO many EFL clubs of a similar stature around that area (Wigan, Bolton, Blackburn, Burnley, Blackpool etc.), Preston's lack of progress stands out even more I suspect
    Also, I reckon Lowe is not one to hide his light under a bucket, perhaps he told the new owners some truths they didn't like to hear .. EDIT .. and he did pretty well in his time at the Pilgrims before quitting to take the Preston job 
  • Of all the traditional North West Clubs that were strong before the 1960s (ie Blackburn, Bolton, Blackpool, Burnley) when the maximum wage and gate sharing were abolished so making the big city clubs stronger, Preston are the only team not to have had a spell back in the top flight.  

    Been close a few times but now seem to be a permanent Championship club (oh, for such a tragedy at Charlton).

    Last season Preston finished 10th:
    13 points short of Norwich in 6th and 13 points clear of Birmingham who dropped.

    A real mid table team which started so well had a rocky time then picked up to finish as a middling team.

    Oh for the halcyon days of mid table championship for Charlton and 50% of CL, led by Golfie, state Nathan Jones has taken CAFC as far as he can.

    Eh? Preston finished 10th last season after being close to the play offs.
    Pretty sure the previous season was the same.

    Nor is Lowe one to hide his light under a bushel.
