Don't think he will finish the season in charge

 

 

I called this after the sacking. He was way too qualified for the U21 role, almost like they saw it all coming.

 

Think it’s a good appointment to be honest.

Swansea going down the Swedish route as they did for Potter ?

Who knows with Southampton though. Some rumblings on the south coast they are looking at someone with a reasonable profile in Germany.

Seems Boro are after him now !

[Super_horns]

So Norwich are appointing an ex Rangers manager - just not the one people expected?

I really wish one of these clubs would take Gary O'Neil off the market before we give Cifuentes the boot

He played for both teams as well, I know much more for Middlesbrough, so I thought at least one might have gone for him.

The first-ever sticker collection to feature players from all 72 clubs across the Championship, League One and League Two has been launched.

The album - the first collaboration between the English Football League and Panini in more than 20 years - was unveiled at the National Football Museum in Manchester.

Current players, including Doncaster striker Billy Sharp, Chesterfield forward and former Northern Ireland international Will Grigg and Blackburn skipper Todd Cantwell, along with EFL icons such as Curtis Davies, Clinton Morrison and Adebayo Akinfenwa joined representatives of EFL clubs as the new sticker album was put on display.

The collection contains 788 stickers featuring stats and facts on each team, rare Elite and Key Player stickers, fabric kits, and, of course, the iconic 'shinies' - depicting club badges and team captains.

It will be stocked in more than 8,000 retailers around the country including major supermarkets and independent stores close to EFL stadiums.

Katie Gritt, head of sport marketing at Panini, said: "Including players from all 72 clubs for the first time, for many fans this will be the first time they can collect stickers of players from the clubs they love.

"The collection celebrates the incredible talent across the EFL as well as legends of the game."

Ben Wright, chief commercial officer at the EFL, added: "Football is all about passion, memories and moments that bring fans together.

"This first-ever sticker album featuring all 72 clubs is special. It celebrates the legends who shaped our game and the current players and managers who make the Championship, League One and League Two so exciting today."

How much will you spend completing that? Even assuming no swaps, it'd cost you £100+

Brugge, Monaco and Rangers are big clubs, I also didn't agree with that statement Norwich put out that you posted, but they are pretty big jobs.

I like it. In a world where people are constantly moaning modern stadiums lack character, at least it represents Birmingham. 

[kiddo]

Looks great from the inside, but feck me!

[JimJams]

Looks like they couldn't decide between Disney Castle and Industrial plant. 

 

But it's unique at least. Recognisable by its silhouette.

[Stuntman_Mike]

I'm not really sure what to make of it.

 

It's certainly ambitious..

Reminded me of the designs that were going around for Chelsea using Battersea power station. I personally think that would've been amazing.

The completed Akinfenwa picture requires six individual stickers, Vestergaard's needs two and the manager section leaves a couple of spare spaces for the inevitable changes over the season.
