neymar wasted it much more than rooney imo. going to psg then saudi  why do you think rooney wasted his talent? 

Rooney was done by the time he was 26/27 didn’t look after himself, but yeah I agree Neymar once he left Barcelona went on a downward spiral quicker than Rooney

What the hell kind of a skewed graph is this in The Times?  

 

 

Apparently 39 = 24 and 14 = 25 

 

 

[FrankieADZ]

personally think Rooney isnt anything special in terms of being a manager, think at Derby he did better-ish as he had Liam Rosenior as his number 2(I think)

 

hopefully Vardy can score against Birmingham and start the fires

My personal prediction: -

 

Saturday 6th April, Vardy completes his hat-trick scoring Leicester's 7th goal. He races to the halfway line, stopping in front of the away bench and turns to point to his name on the back of his shirt. Leicester's promotion to the Premier League is guaranteed. The next day Rooney is sacked with Birmingham bottom of the Championship with no wins in the last 6 games.

Sheffield Wednesday close to signing who I think is a very exciting future manager, Danny Röhl. 
 

As some may know I’m a big fan of the Ralf Rangnick school of football and the way that he developed German football into their dominant era. Röhl was very much part of that as assistant coach at Leipzig, before following Hassenhuttl to Southampton, move to become assistant to Hansi Flick at Bayern before his most recent role as Assistant to the German national team. 
 

Would love to see Röhl get some time to steady the ship and start to implement his style of football.

Surely a big risk going to Wednesday, especially with how messed up the place is

Has there ever been a good American owner in English football? Wherever they go, chaos always follows.

Is he even that much of an "owner"? Or is he just a front for an investment firm?

[Jack1993]

To give an indication of how important it is to get points on the board nice and early, 

 

The average amount of points needed to be in an automatic promotion place after 23 (TWENTY THREE) games is 43 - Lowest ever needed is 41, highest ever needed is 48.

 

In an average season, we need to take 13 points from the next 36 available to remain in the top 2, 18 points from 36 to guarantee it

 

(This is since the Championship began under its current name in 04/05)

Would love to see Vardy run up to Wayne after scoring and do a dropping his phone in the ocean celebration.

This is superb from Norwich, fair play.

Football clubs should do so much more to help promote mental health. I saw Leicester tweeted some things alongside the team news to increase the number that see it; but I think we could be doing so much more.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at Wrexham maybe? Lower league but I think they're doing a good job. I reckon though Reynolds isn't the typical American owner and he's a decent guy in general.

He's American-Canadian if I'm not mistaken? 

Update: Just checked it, he has both citizenships.

I don't think the Burnley owners are that bad, no?
