He will get a better job post-Chelsea than he would've done if he'd just tried to get another EFL job after Hull without going to Strasbourg/Chelsea first, and he'll make a wedge of cash in the meantime too. Always a chance he makes it work at Chelsea too and then really boosts his stock. Might as well

The Athletic: Southampton's Andy Goldie is 'the leading candidate' for the role of director of football at Leicester City Goldie joined Saints in 2023 as Academy Director and was then promoted to Director of Group Talent for all of Sport Republic's clubs. He's reported to feel that he's ready for a senior role after three seasons with Saints at academy level

Being reported that Hamburg and Bayern are now close to an agreement to bring his loan to an end and he may be able to fly to England tonight

If I were Garner, I wouldn't be bothering to look for anything more permanent than the hotel we've put him in...

Has there actually been a worse, regular Saints goalkeeper? Not talking about third stringers and charity backups

Middlesbrough, who haven't scored for four games, are yet to have a shot on target in this game. Brace yourselves, everyone...

I guess that explains why Fellows is yet to score 10 career goals

Same here, tried in multiple browsers and no sign of life

Bloody hell he's lost two games

And we are probably only another six or seven games away from people saying he should never have been given the job and Sport Republic are fools for even entertaining the idea and cheaping out by hiring him. Good old football fans

THB was asked what had changed on Sky: Tonda's given us so much. He's giving us everything and we're gelling now. He just came in with his own ideas. There was so much clarity. He made everything so clear for us.

Scienza just got asked about Eckert on Sky: It's the decision of the big guys but we are happy with Tonda. He's doing a great job and he's a great character as well. Who can do better than four wins in four games? Give the man the job.

We might be locking this thread pretty soon...

Formal confirmation that negotiations are underway for Sport Republic to acquire Levski Sofia: https://levski.bg/официална-информация-относно-коресп/

I love how MLG feels like he has to put on his armour and ride into battle to defend FM's honour like he's one of the developers or the studio director, rather than someone who just estimates attribute numbers as a hobby alongside his day job

It's a bit of both I think. Silva has been touting himself about for all sorts (which he has a rep for already), and so has his agent, but that Fulham contract is difficult for another club to get him out of. Was pretty keen on going to Saudi by all accounts and was the top target for the Forest job too

Psychotherapist. Not physiotherapist

BBC reporting that Gary O'Neil, Will Still and Jon Dahl Tomasson have all had initial interviews with Norwich

They asked you to take off stickers or the tags? You switched midway through I mean, I could understand a security team asking for the previous, old security tags to be taken off if you're walking around with a load of old bag search tags still on there
