Re: Season 2025/2026

So surprised he hasn't gone yet

Paul	08-10-2025 01:02

Re: Season 2025/2026

The international break has saved him for now.

The crunch will be the two matches when we return, Chelsea and Porto (Both at Home).

As it stands, I cant see us getting much out of either, or him lasting past them (if we dont).

Postecoglou sacked surely. 1 win, 2 draws and 5 loses with 30 games to play....

Yup he's gone :waving:

Re: Season 2025/2026

Your owner disappeared for the second half nowhere to be seen. I like your owner. He knows where the club needs to be, a vision not an opportunist. I still don't like multiclub ownership though.

Man City showed Mancini the money. Sean Dyche, I'd kindly decline.

Now that he’s unemployed, will Rangers ask Ange if he fancies managing them? Nobody else seems to want to.

Re: Season 2025/2026

Dyche is the sort who can put out the fire before the whole building burns down.

When he's done that though, he'll be moved on and another big name foreign manager will be brought in to start the next fire

It's how football works mate :D

Re: Season 2025/2026

The club will almost certainly get relegated now, they only had 6 points, so now its -6 points.

That was a boycott, the fan groups have confirmed their botcotts are now over.

They are also still in danger of being wound up by HMRC, due to taxes owed.

In the meantime, a positive start for Dyche at Forest, I hope its a good sign. :)

Liverpool FC can confirm Conor Bradley has sustained a significant knee injury.

The right-back suffered the issue in the latter stages of Thursday night's Premier League fixture away at Arsenal.

Bradley will undergo surgery in the coming days and then begin a period of rehabilitation at the AXA Training Centre.

No timeframe is being placed on his return to playing at this stage of the process.

https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/con...njury-update-1

Makes it look all the more worse than first imagined.

A lot of players help get players back up when grounded. May be universally outlawing putting hands on eachother in a contact sport is the future :erm:

Anywho Fabrizio reports he's out for the season

Re: Season 2025/2026

Doubt Arsenal want him back as why take on the wage? He is out of contract in the summer.

It's sad. He had a good season for us when he first came in, but he has fallen off hard. He isn't even that old. I am surprised he can't do a job for a mid-table team. There is speculation that his heart isn't in it, he seemed badly impacted by what is happening in Ukraine and has also been spending more time in e-sports.
