Anyone here not having to Google him? Well, from a club perspective they are not left hanging. Clearly all set up in advance.

I seem to recall him being a right back not too long ago. From the period when I used to play Fifa so my knowledge of European players was decent.

Hope they get relegated now anyway. Get rid of the English bloke who has done well to get some foreigner in. Why?

What's happened to Fundy lately? No posts since mid-April?

Yep!

Seems he was linked with Leeds but obvs jumped at an opportunity in the prem.

Presumably they thought the foreigner was better qualified, and better suited to take their club forward? If that is the case, what has nationality to do with it? The population of England is 0.7% of the entire world. So, there is a chance that there could be managers outside of England that could do a great job.

This chap does seem to have done very well at his last 2 clubs. Every decision a club makes is a risk, but guessing Bournemouth don't want to miss out on this promising manager now, and then potentially be kicking themselves mid season if Bournemouth are in bottom 3. No doubt O'Neill did a good job, but was it enough to inspire confidence that he is to become a very good manager? At any rate, I'm sure O'Neill will get other job offers, and so he will get more chances to try and prove his worth, and earn his stripes.

Martin Tyler will always be in my fondest memories...

And that commentary will go down alongside “ some people are on the pitch, they think it’s all over, it is now”.

Seeing as it is quiet in the footy blog. Talking to my lad about Kyle Walker, the talk is that Walker wants to extend his contract at City.
Nah then, my lad has just told me summat that I didn’t know. And I would be gobsmacked if anyone on here was aware.
Kyle Walker has one year left on his contract. I said “he could be playing in the world club championship”. Young Tash said “No, he could be playing in the next two”. I asked “how do you work that out”. He told me and suffice to say here is a link to Explain.
Thoughts.

FIFA trying to cash in with their own version of the champions league. Its not really needed.

World Cup and Club World Cup expansion shows 'complete disregard' for leagues by FIFA, says LaLiga

FIFA are expanding the World Cup to include 48 teams from 2026, meaning the number of matches will grow from 64 to 104; the Club World Cup will also feature 32 teams - instead of the current number of seven - from 2025; LaLiga accused the governing body of malpractice

Was announced back in March time after initial discussions last year

that’s proper brutal. But honest.

I did think the same, what I thought odd was FIFAs already decided that City and Chelsea have qualified.

In this case "striker" is a misnomer

@Beezerk leaves the country and Sheff Wed take the opportunity to get rid of their manager who has just taken them up. What's going on there?

Did he approve the move and head to Germany to avoid the grief

Beezerk is the new manager and making himself scarce

UEFA do not see Old Trafford as fit enough or good enough to have the Euros there in 2028 yet the FA think it is good enough to have a game there tonight. Is it more to do with numbers rather than a quality stadium
