Plymouth Argylle swoop in to make Wazza their new boss.

This should end well?

Like Lampard he still gets jobs due to his reputation as a player despite all indications that he's fucking hopeless as a manager.

They are looking for someone who speaks German so only really Hoeness from the list above (and maybe he doesn't want it or they don't want him for whatever reason).

Kompany is a bit of a punt but they are desperate.

I remember once I was offered to do an additional job, which I said yes to, only for the person asking me to keep insisting they are so desperate that's why they have asked me 😅

Everyone knows Kompany is maybe their 5th choice.

Now that is desperate.

Newcastle post-season tour going well

 

 

Must be all those FA Cup replays which have caused this.

Punty Paqueta could be in trouble. Leicester booking looks like unlikely to be overturned by VAR or a jury

Speculating, but the third one against Villa is the worst. No chance he’s ever getting the ball.

The first against Leicester isn’t much better and he even goes for a second bite of the cherry at Maddison before the ref has the yellow card out.

They've surely got more to go on than just these being stonewall yellows? These sort of fouls get made regularly

It first got noted on Twitter that he was something like even money to get booked when he'd only had 1 or 2 yellows all season prior to that. Even before that though, the bookies also share (or at least should, and it's in their interest to do so) suspicious betting activity and there was a larger than usual amount wagered on him picking up bookings in these 4 specific matches - the largest bets were made in Brazil.

They’ll be going off suspicious betting activity, not just the nature of the fouls.

Steve Jennings red card for Motherwell at Tynecastle just before Xmas 2010 was a similar story although he’s scouse as opposed to Brazilian

Kompany to Bayern Munich and now Enzo Maresca to Chelsea. Both from Pepe's Man City.

The same happened and is still happening with Alex Ferguson. Clubs hire Fergie's old players or coaches in the hope they learned enough to replicate what he did at Man Utd. 
Steve Bruce, Mark Hughes, Solskjaer, Steve McClaren, Carrick, Strachan, Giggs, Rooney.

It was Fir Park, not Tynecastle.

It was also binned after investigation.

Hope this happens. Proper manager for a proper club with fans who love their football.

They're so knowledgeable up there. You just can't get away with it. They'll know straight away.
