We've agreed a deal with a new manager this morning. Could be announced by the end of the day.
edit: it's not Chris Coleman. As if anyone actually believed that was a possibility. LOL. Or Mick McCarthy.

Not sure I can get excited for United transfers currently, I don't think the personnel were the issue this season.
Maybe the new coaches will help.

This is how reliable journalists are. Owner on the fucking radio saying we've agreed a deal with a manager less than half an hour ago and fully expecting to announce it today.

The way my bracket worked out it looked like a nice easy path to the semi finals for France, Brazil, Spain and Germany. Those are the four strongest teams and none of them will face each other until the semis if the group stage goes as you’d expect. Could be a very straightforward WC

Wouldn't say no to De Ligt if we're in for him. We have 4 quality CBs now but they carry a lot of injuries between them so no harm having a bit more back up. I don't think we'll be giving Adarabioyo the same opportunities Foden and Diaz are getting.
By Perfect Blue Go To Posthttps://twitter.com/goal/status/999214896444297216?s=21The most credible rumors I've seen indicate Zenit wants him while Chelsea is distant(ly vacillating), but Sarri himself would much prefer Chelsea and is so far unconvinced by Zenit.
With Ancelotti all but announced (even according to Di Marzio), the talk is currently about how Sarri will be cut adrift. Some rumors are suggesting that the €8m release clause might be ignored, allowing Sarri to leave on a free; some are suggesting that a swap could be involved, with David Luiz coming to Napoli, and Sarri and cash going the other way; and the most appalling rumors think ADL might be a spiteful asshole and just keep Sarri on the payroll to prevent him from managing elsewhere for a while (he's on only €1.4m per year).

If you combined Lukaku and Morata, you could probably have a truly great striker.
By combine I mean put Lukakus bbc on Moratallah
the most accurate prediction imo

By flinbad the flailer Go To Post... and the most appalling rumors think ADL might be a spiteful asshole and just keep Sarri on the payroll to prevent him from managing elsewhere for a while (he's on only €1.4m per year).That would be a cunt move even by ADL's standards. They'll find a compromise, I'm sure.
Sarri absolutely deserves a shot at one of the big clubs, but I'm still having trouble imagining him outside Italy. He's just so ... Sarri, lol.
Random sad thought: In a few years both Ronaldo and Messi will be gone and nobody for the foreseeable future will provide the levels they have.
I wonder what the drop off in viewership will be in La Liga once they leave.

Fair play to Emery to doing his conference in English, but it really sounds like he's speaking backwards ala Twin Peaks
Been fooling around with the WC predictor. The only thing I've gathered is that Argentina are not gonna make it. It's gonna be an early exit for 'em.
