Neil Warnock has unretired for the umpteenth time to take over at a Championship side. This time round, it's Huddersfield.

[King Ellis]

As a Leeds fan I think my heart stopped for a moment halfway through that sentence.

Looks like Marsch is indeed going to Southampton. 

[METALMAN]

Looking forward to Jesse Marsch keeping Southampton up at Leeds’s expense.

They play Leeds in 11 days, so that should be fun.

Man I want to see Southampton win that game so much, just to see Matt's reaction 🤣

[Gazz]

He'll probably take up drinking.

Talking of Leeds, they're sticking with Skubala - for now.

Clearly anything good they do is all thanks to Chris Armas.

Fun fact: if Chelsea fail to win at least one of their next three matches (Dortmund, Southampton, Tottenham), then Graham Potter will officially have the lowest Win % of any Chelsea manager since Danny Blanchflower's relegation run in 1979.

My quick interpretation of the maths and Wikipedia says that wouldn't be the case. Ian Porterfield (31 in 90, 34.4%) and Glenn Hoddle (53 in 157, 33.8%) would both still be worse than Potter (hypothetically 9 in 26, 34.6%). Both Porterfield and Hoddle also had 3-6 times as many games to achieve their low scores in.

The fact that we're having to make this detailed a breakdown while technically still World champions and when half a billion has been spent in a January transfer window, however, is a little bit concerning.

On a separate note, Hoddle was made England manager with that win record. Jesus.

@stokeriño I guess the question now is, can Potter make it to the Leeds game next weekend for the deciding match on this?

[stokeriño]

Given my expectations of the club owners? They will absolutely let him continue all season, no matter how obviously awful it is.

Seems like if you restrict it to Premier League matches, he's already there.

Bring back Avram!

[METALMAN]

Is Avram Grant sufficiently angry?

[Colly]

Chris Wilder in til the end of the season supposedly, though I wouldn't put it past them getting rid by Easter.

[Colly]

Can anyone translate Belgian?

 

 

[The Lusophone]

They sacked him.
