Winston Biscuit Chris Coleman sacked by Leuven


If anyone finds themselves in Leuven, would highly recommend the tour of the Stella Artois brewery.

Also have a microbrewery recommendation, but it's a bit of a walk from the centre - Brouwerij de Coureur


Is that Flemish for Courage Brewery?

Gattuso gets the Italy job. an interesting appointment.

actually did well at AC Milan and Napoli, but lots of nothingness elsewhere. You could say sometimes maybe he is one thing, sometimes maybe another thing.

No news ever 'breaks' any more, does it?

Sky Sports says 'Sheffield United to sack Chris Wilder this week.'

So he either didn't know, or now he does. Or he does know but the club hasn't announced it yet. Either way, Sky Sports leading that something is going to happen, but hasn't yet.

Well apparently our old friend Rueben is in talks to take over there....

That will be interesting, Selles only came to us after a move for Wilder allegedly fell through and now he looks set to replace him at Sheffield United.

It will be interesting to see how he gets on at not at a basket case of a club.

On their day Sheff Utd were the best team in the Champ last season. Got smash and grabbed by Leeds when it looked like they were gonna win the league then the same thing happened in the PO final.

They'll want instant results so if Selles does take over, would be amazed if he isn't sacked by Christmas.

Looking forward to the old 4-2-2-2 coming out again.

Selles confimred at Sheff Utd. Mental decision on the face of it. Replace your manager who got you to 90 points (after starting on -2) and a PO final, with a guy that got sacked by Hull.

I think he did much better at Hull than people realise. Took over halfway through the season when they were bottom of the league and the ppg under him for the 2nd half of the season was the 12th best in the Champ.

They're also a bit of a basket case behind the scenes.

Cardiff appoint Brian Barry-Murphy. nope, me neither.

Spent his playing career in L1 & L2 with Rochdale and Bury, managed Rochdale a bit after retiring, then coached in Man City's academy, and last season was assistant to RVN at Leicester for 6 months

RVN expected to get the spanish archer once 1st July rolls round and that despicable club is in a new accounting period.

Sean Dyche being touted as a replacement.
