Premier League 2024-2025

A Roy Keane appointment?

[From the Bunker]

He'd recognise it as a proper job and with an astronomical pay packet, he'd take it in a heartbeat

From a team point of view, he commands instant respect and takes no shit, as a starting point for the talent available thats easily enough to stabilise

I agree, it's a sinking ship, with EtH you're lucky to finish top half

Keane was dismissed as Ipswich manager on 7 January 2011.
That's nearly 15 years since he has had a Management job.

That would be a huge gamble, for even a desperate Man Utd.

Everton, who only won their first game of the season yesterday, are only 3 points behind Man United.

That's only short of 14 years 

I think  Keane is too long out of the game  now at this point to  become a club manager. 

Maybe he's happy  enough with that as the TV  work is steady , and there's none  of the stress  of a managerial role.

Plus , he's a granda now apparently, and the family are likely settled , and he probably likes  the time now to spend with them.  Also,   there  are  probably few jobs around the Manchester area that  are available, or would suit not uprooting his family

I wouldn't rule out him becoming Ireland manager in future although  he seemed to be linked recently and it didn't happen  for whatever reason

EtH giving off serious Roy Evans vibe, you wouldn't even give him a job looking after the bibs and cones

[Look-Up!]

The problem with ETH and OGS before him were inconsistency. Some bad results then followed by some good runs, turning a corner talk and then bad result again. But there was something extra shit about that performance, almost a lost the dressing room performance. It was truely awful. I think it's very early for manager change talk but after looking at that I wouldn't be surprised. Even if he keeps it, Villa away will be interesting. It's the type of game they would have bounced back in before, but I don't know after today.

Seems like the same  old crap.  Ten Hag will be gone within  weeks .

Southgate will be in, possibly  as caretaker until the end of the season.

In reality, who else is out  there? Or who out there would  touch it?

Ruud van Nistelrooy was brought in this summer and he would likely gladly take the caretaker role until and more suitable manager becomes available.

Never a red

Are you having a laugh? A cowardly tackle. From the highly over-rated Bruno!

Yellow would've been fair

[Look-Up!]

If it had been yellow no one would have complained but at the same time I don't think he can complain too much about the red either. Stupid tackle. He slipped so was not in control but lunged out anyway. Foot came in very high, studs up, no where near the ball. Ok he was too far away to catch the player high but he still caught him coming down on the foot. Lazy and stupid.

He slipped lazily and stupidly? Was a yellow card at worst, the contact is mitigated by the slip, his entire reaction (in about 0.0005 of a second) was to plant the foot so he didn't fall in a heap, a natural reflex reaction, the fact he made contact with Maddison was an outcome outside of his control. For VAR not to overturn that is an absolute joke and makes a mockery of the system, but time and again its evident that the on-field and off-field officials haven't a clue. I would say the PGMOL fraternity is just another bunch of spectrumy wierdos like Mark Goldbridge who take their jumped up fandom way too far.

He lunged out lazily and stupidly after he slipped.

As for spectrumy wierdos, you couldn't give a better description of Fernandes himself. If that tackle had happened to him he'd still be rolling.

Aw no doubt he's a bit of a dose himself but I don't buy that he lunged out as a specific decision, his natural reaction was to look to plant the foot, nothing after he slipped was lazy or stupid, it was pure reflex

Anyway, Utd's season is over in September, they really need to play Martinez left back, they're bucked until they put a left footer in there, and he's too small for CB anyway, exposed again yesterday

It's impossible to tell his intentions. My first reaction on first angle replay was you dirty little c**t, straight for the knee and deserves more than 3 match ban. But then on other angles he clearly slipped and although foot initially high it was far enough away from the knee, and subsequent contact where it was, that a yellow would have been adequate. But I don't know what referee saw and with player safety a priority, the onus should have been on Fernandes not to make contact in that situation. So harsh but not exactly worst decision ever.

Utd look in trouble. Those 2 defenders from Bayern, I don't know. And as for that DM from PSG. Jesus Christ, I said it before but that SMcT business looked the worst piece of business they have every done and that's saying something. I don't care how clever it looked in the ledgers. Big job on their hands.
