You report this filth and not mention Blackburn have appointed Jon Dahl Tomasson as manager?

I think it is time for you to be booked in for a performance review...

PSG is going to be such a revolving door every year unless they win the Champions League.

[The Lusophone]

Poch should've jumped back to Spurs when he had the chance.

Ryan Giggs has resigned as Wales manager, you absolutely love to see it. Should be an absolute no brainer to give it to Robert Page permanently.

Forgot that the cunt was still technically permanent manager tbh.

Rooney has resigned as Derby manager. Inevitable.

Given the circumstances he did a really commendable job and I suspect will land in the championship again.

Wonder where he will be this time next year.

He's now going back to DC United, the club he left abruptly for Derby, to be their new manager. That's absolutely shocking considering Everton wanted to hire him just 6 months ago. Really surprised he's doing this.

[Bobfoc]

I really thought he'd wait a few months before a Championship club (or Everton) had a vacancy. I think this is a more interesting outcome.

Not sure we wanted him to be honest. The press loved the idea but Everton pursued Martinez, then Pereira, then Lampard.

Rooney obviously wants to work and there's no openings in England at the moment. I'm sure he can leave DC at the drop of a hat again if a job he fancies crops up, but to be honest I'd not see him landing higher than the Championship at this stage because whilst he did an admirable job in difficult circumstances at Derby, he hasn't really done anything notable as a manager yet.

I could have sworn he confirmed Everton contacted him/offered it to him. But I will pretty much always defer to you on stuff like this because I know you know more about Everton than me! 

Coming back to DC is weird since a big reason he left was his family didn't like it here. Wouldn't be surprised if there's something going on there either that made him happy to return to DC (and potentially alone)

[gunnar hendershow]

Yeah taking the DC job is really weird since it would require him to uproot his family a second time in 3 years. Seems and feels extremely odd, and wouldn't be shocked if he's the only one actually relocating this time.

We may have sounded him out to be fair, but he wasn't close to first choice.

I do agree it seems odd on the face of it for him to go to DC. Maybe he/his family want to get away after the "Wagatha Christie" trial cos that hasn't helped anyone's reputation.

Ah I had forgotten about that whole saga. That's fair as he and his family can live relatively out of the public eye here just given the overall popularity of the MLS. DC and its suburbs are only surpassed by New York and LA in terms of the number of successful non-Americans settling down to avoid the media and tabloids in their home country.

Wolves have sacked Bruno Lage.

Think with a proper manager who knows how to get his side attacking, Wolves could do well this season. They have multiple attackers with promise 

[Szumi]

Gerardo Seoane (Leverkusen) and Julen Lopetegui (Sevilla) both were sacked after last night in the Champions League. Sampaoli is going back to Sevilla, but the real shocker is Xabi Alonso is taking over at Leverkusen! We all knew he'd be manager somewhere soon at the senior level, but that's a big surprise 

[Baddar]

I thought he'd take the top job at Sociedad after Alguacil.
