What an idiot. Gets the job of his dreams, can't stay out of dodgy deals for even a few weeks.

I dunno.  400,000 quid vs. managing a shyte team?

He'd been chasing the England job for years, and he was already on 3 million quid/year.

OK.  That's more quid.

IIRC the England manager is the best paid manager in world football. Obviously not a results-driven position.

Take a look at this first timer from Copenhagen - Brugge.

Probably also the most media spotlighted position though.

Well, I for one am glad that he's gone; he should not have been given the job in the first place.

Given the record of current English-born Football Managers at the moment they should have swallowed their pride, accepted the criticism and recruited from abroad again.

But our foreign recruits have been awful too. Nobody genuinely good would want the job.

[Josephus]

And he's gone. He takes with him the record as England's best ever manager- 100% win record.

That Neymar pass to Suarez.

I'm struggling to comprehend quite what happened with that penalty.

When he's good he's really good and can change a game (in the Danish league), but he seems to have a lot of off days. It could help him I think to play in a better league, or he could fade out completely

Mmm, could be interesting then but the off days issue might be a red flag. We already have another Dane, Daniel wass, so that could be helpful for Sisto if he ends up coming. Let's see how it goes!

So it's going okay I suppose?

So far so good!

Aww poor Malta. I'm cheering for them because it'd be funny for England to lose.
