fair play to Ukraine, deserved winners, had several chances to put the game to bed! have to worry they may not have the legs to go again at the weekend against Wales, but if they play like this theyll have every chance
 
So, it seems the Nations League has sold the broadcasting rights to Premier Sports? Who pays for that? I can imagine much less than Sky and BT subscribers. Hopefully that is the death of the Nations League, if barely anyone can watch it
 
No reported issues at Leicester, derby , Birmingham, Brighton or with any England manager

No reported issues at United, either. But think back a few years to Roy Keane’s comments about some of United’s youngsters playing half a dozen games and adopting a superstar persona, rocking up for training in their Lamborghinis and Bentleys. That was the start of an apparent culture at the club where too many players behaved as though the game owed them a living, which many Old Trafford regulars believe was one of the issues which prompted the decline which has continued ever since. Think back also to Mourinho saying that taking United to a second placed finish ranked as one of his best managerial achievements.

The tail has been wagging the dog for a decade, and the longer it has continued the more many believe that manager after manager has not had the backing from above to sort the problem out. The lack of unity has been clear for all to see in performances for eighteen months, but it started before that. The repeated failure of the club to move players on hasn’t helped, because it means any malcontents have remained on the fringes, both at Carrington and in match day squads.

I’ve believed it for some considerable time - United’s failures in the transfer market have been as much about who they haven’t cleared out as it has been who they have brought in. The new manager needs to purge the squad and almost start from scratch.
 
Called it at the time but what an awful appointment Rangnick was. Zero experience of managing a top club and this role as a consultant was absurd. Clearly for the best Utd got rid of him but it shows nothing has changed, the club is still run by those who don't have a clue. It now appears Ten Hag has total control of everything, which isn't how modern and successful clubs operate. A manager with a modest CV coming into the biggest club in the country and running the show is a recipe for disaster.

But he didn’t take over a top club, so his experience was perfectly adequate ?.
