Maric was linked with the Sunderland job, but they opted for Le Bris instead. But it feels like we’re stuck in the exact same predicament when we appointed Maresca. At that time Parker, McKenna and Gerrard were also linked. This time around, very much like Parker, you’ve got your underwhelming options like Martin, Dyche, O’Neill. Like McKenna, you’ve got your up-and-coming option like Rohl. Gerrard is available again. While like Maresca, you’ve got your assistant manager options like Ancelotti and Maric. They’ve been down the inexperienced route before, but I think it’s very easy for the club to go down the safe and underwhelming route this time around, especially after seeing what Farke, Parker and Wilder have done this season. But if they had any sense, they’d appoint someone who would be willing to give the likes of Nelson, Alves, Monga and Evans a chance, but when it comes to youth, it’s probably best to dip abroad like Sunderland have done with Le Bris, but would the club be willing to scour overseas, recent history suggests no.

A Crucible classic, what a match. I’m sweating after that, I need some ice cream to cool down

Surprised to see Wakelin has shit the bed in his match, Zhao hasn’t been at his scintillating best either. Those in the bottom half just looking that bit stronger atm.

So many underwhelming possibilities and I’d put Farke in that bracket too if he left. But…I’d prefer him over someone like Martin or Dyche. Watched Leeds against Bristol City last night, the intensity they played at was a magnificent watch, plus the way their wingers played when they hit Bristol City on transition, I instantly thought that the likes of Mavididi and Fatawu could be absolutely lethal in a Farke setup.

If they let him go, I’d take Farke over Martin or Dyche any day, far more watchable football.

As Ric said, intriguing shout mate. I came across this tweet when delving into John Mousinho last week. The Championship form guide since the new year which pinpoints the improvement Muslic has made at Plymouth. As you said in your other post, I’d rather target a Championship manager who has recent upside. Liam Manning, John Mousinho and Miron Muslic tick that box.

Jaw dropping stuff mate, I clapped him off from my living room He does things in a unique way, but he showed tonight why he needs to be at the top of the game, the type of Snooker that will attract new viewers, especially the younger generation.

Luca has just produced one of the greatest sessions of Snooker seen at the Crucible, absolutely unreal 🔥👏🏻

I’m looking forward to Elliott Moore scoring the winner in a 1-0 home loss to Oxford, but our new manager Russell Martin won’t be bothered because we’ll have 70% possession.

Certainly wouldn’t rule someone like him out, especially if Winks buggers off.

Nothing will beat Ronnie’s 5 minute one, Murphy at the Shoot Out is firmly second on my list. Then you have a few classics, just because of the occasions, but in terms of difficulty, I’d probably put Allen’s 4th or 5th on my list.

Give me some ninja celebrations at the KP. https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/who-is-shuto-machino-holstein-kiel-japan-rapp-wind-31452#:~:text=Both Machino and Wind have,comfortable dropping deeper when required.

About 5-6 shots in that break where he could’ve easily butchered it. Top 5 147 worthy perhaps 🤔

Where does that rank in terms of 147s 🤔 He produced some unbelievable shots in that break 👏🏻

Beating Brecel and Bingtao in a final though, compared to potentially Higgins, Trump or Murphy, umm, I’m just not sure mate. The way Wakelin is looking, it might be him from the top half

Shuto Machino as Holstein Kiel may get relegated from the Bundesliga. The type of striker who gets involved in the play and can link up.

Wouldn’t rule out a Chinese finalist, one of them winning it though, still don’t see it happening just yet. Surely one of Ronnie, Higgins, Trump or Murphy will prove too strong and end up lifting the trophy.

Ronnie will be licking his lips now, especially with Mark Allen in trouble too.

Seems to be a recent occurrence, it was causing him havoc yesterday, the ferrule on his cue was also supposedly loose, he changed it for today’s session, now it’s about “bedding in” the new one. Not an ideal situation, intrigued to see what he says afterwards.

Clear frustration with his tip, and as we’ve seen many times before, when Selby isn’t feeling comfortable it becomes a slog. This feels like a midnight 10-8/10-9 finish.

If we want a more physical striker who excels in duels, I’d be looking at Mihalio Ivanovic at Millwall. 11 goals in the Championship this season and has just won their Young Player of the Season award.
