    I think we can safely say the West ham manager Julen Lopetegui isn't going to be with them much longer.



    Postecoglou will not start next season either, or will possibly sack him once out of the cup competitions.
    1961 and counting :)

    Mark Robins has been appointed Manager of Stoke City on a three-and-a-half-year contract.
    Paul Nevin and James Rowberry, currently England Under 20s and Wales senior team’s Assistant Coach respectively, have joined as Assistant Managers.

    I believe Robins when he turned down the spanners as he wanted a break from football, the lure of managing Stoke was too much to turn down.

    He's never managed a southern team and Stoke is probably only an hour up the M6 from Coventry so he might not even need to move house.

    I'd also expect that Stoke pay more than Millwall as well.

    In the last few years Stoke in the Championship have been a bit like Charlton in L1 or Bradford in L2

    Potential managers look at them and think that they ought to be doing much better at that level, and that if they took charge, they could be the person to turn things around and get them promoted.

    Unfortunately, it never happens...

    That's a bit of a change of direction by Gillingham. Coleman has never worked down south either.

    Feels like their owner has got a case of the Sandgaards in terms of not having a clue what kind of manager he wants. Am surprised Bonner didn't work out but Coleman is a complete 180 from Clemence and Bonner.

    And weird to bring in an appointment to the end of the season, when there's half a season to go. It's what teams normally do in March when trying to stave off relegation!

    There's something about football club ownership that brings out the worst in otherwise successful businessmen. Wanting instant results and success, and even if that is delivered, then wanting sexier football.

    Reports that Potter is in talks with West Ham, would probably be a good fit

  • Rob Edwards is leaving Luton by mutual consent. Which to me means 'we're firing you but as you got us promoted to the Premier League we'll give you some respect and not announce it as a sacking'.

    Weird how they've gone from overperforming to get promoted and then have a respectable season in the PL, to underperforming so badly.

    And I'll go quietly if you pay me a decent lump to fuck off.

    No and the only source I could see an hour ago was Football League World so a tiny pinch of salt needed

    Only mention of it I can find is a few totally unreliable Twitter accounts.
