I mean, there was a big chunk of the fanbase who never loved him (I include myself in this to a degree). His prior "season three syndrome" at Liverpool and general David Brent-ness being among the reasons why. But until the relegation season at least they definitely backed him as our manager and would've been disappointed had he been poached by Arsenal or Man Utd or the likes

I for one would love to see Rob Van Dam as our manager

Closer to half that Football clubs really don't pay that much for the data analysis side, it's more like something to use to make your resume more attractive when you apply for a job at a big tech firm in 3-4 years

Ruud is wanted by Hamburg too So he has the choice of relegation battle with us or mid-table in the German second division

Can expect the whole squad to be there really!

Winks, Coady, Choudhury, JJ, Golding, Ward, Alves, McAteer, BDCR were in the video Think I could see Hermansen in the background but not 100% sure Danish media said Kristiansen and Vestergaard were there too

Pep Guardiola in the last 5 matches: 0 points Steve Cooper in the last five matches: 1 point That's infinite times better! #CooperIn

I look forward to the appointment being confirmed on 21st of December

oh bloody hell Miquel you've only gone and just forced the paras to land in Dublin to recolonise the island

As the famous saying goes, If the yellow titular ghost-avoiding dot-munching protagonist is rendered in 8-bit, you must acquit, or something along those lines

Go 50-50 on a shared Leicester-Forest store with a corner at the back dedicated to Derby

I mean, knowing the club a Friday grand opening would see them cock something up massively, Wednesday gives them a couple of days to treat as a test run

Mine's arrived too

If the club wanted to do something to reflect the textile industry history of Leicester but also appeal to the Thai cultural element, they could look to the traditional clothing of the Akha people (a Hill Tribe who live in Chiang Rai village among other places) instead of the mess that the club shop is selling Or Hmong clothing, which itself had been influential in the fashion industry: https://magazine.mtmary.edu/2016/11/17/culture-and-couture-hmong-fashion/

Maybe they should open a storefront in Germany selling crop tops in the hopes that the Thai King becomes a regular customer https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4507110/Thailand-threatens-sue-video-king-crop-top.html

We'll get compensation from FIFA for Ayew/Fatawu's injuries, right? So if they're out for more than a month or two that would give us some money for another winger/forward in January

Your mate's wrong, he's having it amputated

Wolves are releasing a special kit for the 70th anniversary of their win against Honved https://honved.wolves.co.uk/ Ultra-shiny reflective material because apparently the match was under floodlights and the manager at the time wanted the players to literally shine on the pitch. £125 for a commemorative boxed edition or £60 for just the shirt Doesn't seem like their fans are too happy with it though - criticism of having Sudu's logo on an anniversary shirt and asking why they've used the current badge instead of the one used in 1954. And also because it looks like something right out of Del Boy's wardrobe, or Austin Powers' Goldmember

https://www.asroma.com/en/news/72289/roma-appoint-ranieri-as-new-head-coach AS Roma is pleased to announce that Claudio Ranieri is the new Head Coach of the First Team. At the conclusion of the season, Claudio will transition into a senior executive role, where he will be an adviser to the ownership on all sporting matters at the club. The search for a future coach will proceed over the next months. Claudio will have input in that decision as well. Born in Rome and a lifelong Romanista, Ranieri wore the Giallorossi jersey as a player during the 1973-74 season and later served as the team’s head coach on two separate occasions (from 2009 to 2011 and in 2019). He is a true symbol of the Club’s values and one of the most respected Roman sports figures worldwide. Ranieri brings with him an immense wealth of knowledge and experience from Serie A, the Premier League, La Liga, and Ligue 1, having managed top European clubs and winning historic titles, such as his legendary 2016 triumph with Leicester. The Club extends its best wishes to him for this exciting new chapter in his career, confident that he will be an invaluable asset to the team and to all of AS Roma. Forza Roma and welcome home, Mister!

£55 to look like you're wearing shoulder pads made from Mr Blobby's flesh The rest of the "On Pitch Off Pitch" Collection is decent enough, maybe worth buying if there's a good Christmas/end of season discount https://shop.lcfc.com/en/collections/on-pitch-off-pitch

it's been moved to a neutral venue already

How's the quality of material/production with Hummel? I've heard they can feel quite cheap with poor quality control, but that might have changed with the previous UK brand licensee going bust and the operations being taken over by Hummel again

Yeah, there's no doubt that the groups in Amsterdam looking for Israelis (or Jews, seeing as that's what it seemed to devolve into at some point) to attack were seeking "payback" for the Egyptian man Maccabi hooligans attacked in Athens

Maccabi fans also attacked a taxi driver before the match TBH Maccabi are known for having an extremist right wing fanbase and violent ultras/hooligans as well. Stupid decision not to move the match to a neutral venue and/or have it behind closed doors or at least without away fans
