So the Blades are going to sack Paul Heckingbottom because they are bottom of the Premier League and replace him with Chris Wilder who was sacked when they were bottom of the Premier League in March 2021

If Wilder doesn't work out they can always ask Slavisa Jokanovic to come back

It's a done deal:

Oooh I’ve got a good idea, let’s do the same thing over again and hope for a different result.

Nuno Espirito Santo is being strongly tipped to go to Forest.

According to the Guardian he has agreed

A lot of love going around for Cooper today, fans and players seem to have genuine affection for the man. Its so nice to see.

Personally, I wouldn't bring in Nuno for Cooper if I was in charge of manager ins/outs

Bazshuayi

I still would like Potter in so he can forget the Chelsea mess and reestaablish his upward standing in the mangerial realms. Something like a contract to take over next season and give him plenty of time to put his stamp on things

I also like Potter and would be very happy with him joining us eventually.

PrestonHammer

My problem with Potter is he's plays very pretty football but no end product.

alderz

I wouldn’t mind some pretty football though. And he lacked end product because he didn’t have Jarrod Bowen

ASLEFshrugged

Potter took two seasons to turn Brighton from relegation contenders to a midtable side and it was only in his fourth season they threatened to dent the top of the table,

Then he went to Chelsea

Bazshuayi

I get the no end product thing but surely thats a case of who you have in the forward line and whether they can convert. Our players seem to have less chances and have to be more ruthless/efficient. I say seem, no data to back this up, just feels that way

MrsGrey

There's data out there, if you want to look for it

Is it all on a spreadsheet?

Bazshuayi

Mourinho sacked by Roma after they were dumped out of the Copa by Lazio on Wednesday then beaten by AC Milan on Sunday to leave them 9th

Whitehorsehammer

The Moyes out clan should be all over that.

Some things just cheer you right up don’t they?🎉

steve

not sure he will care to much nice payoff and can walk back into Man U with a 3 year contract

nychammer66

Or Chelsea. Or spuds…..

Slacker

If Roma had any morals or care for the game they would’ve sacked him after that disgusting Europa League final last season. The man’s a stain on the beautiful game.

What am I going on about?
“ Football club has morals”?
Muppet.

Bazshuayi

10/1 to be West Hams next manager...
