I'd give Viera a try. I was watching a talk with Charlie Austin talking about Ronald Koeman. He said that he had an aura and owned the room when he walked in. I think that Viera would be similar and command respect from everyone. Whelher he would want to come to a Championship club is another matter.

Fans are fickle. Personally, i don't want him but, if he came in and won his first 5 games, everyone would be delighted.

They are not comparing like with like. Crime stats from 2024 compared with population stats from 2021 will give a misleading result, as will using offences reported as against convictions. Correlation does not imply causality.

The figures on offenders and the proportion convicted come from the Ministry of Justice.

The Centre for Migration Control is run by a Reform supporter and are presenting misleading statistics. The number of offences are the latest figures. However they are comparing them with population numbers taken from the 2021 census. Over the last 4 years there has been a large spike in immigration from non-EU citizens (especially from Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover) hence the offences per nationality are likely to be much lower than shown on the chart. Also they are using number of offenders brought to court, not convicted. The average conviction rate for these offenders was about 55%.

When you are already one of the world's richest men, what is the point of taking this amount of money? Maybe he'll use it for philanthropic purposes but I won't hold my breath.

Things not going too well in their "flagship council".....

It was McMenemy who advised Branfoot to get rid of him.

From the Guardian's Football Daily newsletter: ‘FEELS LIKE WE ONLY GO BACKWARDS' Last December, Wolves and Southampton were the Premier League’s bottom two clubs, seriously at risk of being cut adrift. Both then hit the panic button within 24 hours of each other, Wolves sacking Gary O’Neil after a testy late 2-1 home defeat by Ipswich, and Russell Martin getting the boot for an equally ominous 5-0 gubbing by Spurs. Both clubs rolled the dice on grizzled, combustible European coaches. In the short term, one appointment worked – Vítor Pereira led Wolves on a chaotic pub crawl to safety – and the other did not. Ivan Juric earned four points in 14 games and was sacked before achieving his ambitious goal of not leading ‘the worst team in Premier League history’. Southampton were relegated with seven games to play, while Juric vaulted back on to his feet by getting the gig at Atalanta. What happened next? Well, the Lionesses’ Euro 2025 heroics meant Saints and Wolves were no longer vying for the title of best Hampton. Wolves struggled with a post-survival hangover, but offered Pereira a fresh three-year deal despite four defeats from their first four games. “Now is a time for stability,” cheered chief suit Jeff Shi. Forty-five days later and with two points on the board, Shi decided now was a time for upheaval, and Pereira was given the boot. Perhaps he was panicked by the sight of Southampton sitting 21st in the Championship, like the ghost of relegation still to come. In just 13 games, Saints had shredded the reputation of one of Europe’s most promising young coaches – and revived their strange parallel with Wolves by sending Will Still packing just a few hours after Pereira. That connection has intensified further with both clubs seemingly considering a return to the managers they had sacked 11 months ago. Have they completely lost the plot? We understand successful managers going back to their old clubs is very much in vogue these days, but the key word there is successful. O’Neil appeared all set for a – what’s the opposite of triumphant? – return to Molineux but has walked away from what is surely the last Premier League job he’s likely to be offered. That said, Southampton appear to be actually willing to consider rehiring Martin, burned by a bin-fire stint at Rangers and with a career win percentage of 39% – exactly what’s required for a Championship relegation scrap. If either club really wants to turn the clock back, they should imitate Everton’s move for David Moyes or Martin O’Neill’s romantic return to Celtic. Maybe Southampton could give Gordon Strachan a call. As for Wolves, if they’re going to go down, they may as well get big Mick McCarthy in for the meme potential. As for the bigger picture, it’s worth noting that since the start of last season, 46 of the 94 clubs to play league football have changed manager; Southampton have done it three times, with a fourth poor sap on the way. Like the owner Fosun at their twin crisis club up in the West Midlands, Saints majority owners Sports Republic have dragged a stable Premier League club into turmoil through bad recruitment and impulsive decisions. Perhaps it’s time the suits accepted they don’t know how to run a football club, and marched themselves through their well-used doors marked Do One. On the other hand, Brendan Rodgers is available.

Most of those giving him abuse wouldn't say a word if they met him face to face. If he wants to give a bit back, that's fine by me as long as it's not to kids.

You do not come here illegally if you claim asylum on arrival. If your claim is rejected you are then here illegally.

White males make up about 81% of the UK male population. According to the 2022-2023 figures, white males were responsible for approximately 86% of rapes and about 89% of other sexual assaults.

Probably money.

The rot started when we didn't replace Danny Ings. Broja was decent for half a season but after that we never had a Premiership quality striker. Adams was decent in the Championship but now it's all on Armstrong who needs 5 chances to score one.

If that offer from Juventus is true, he'd be a fool to stay.

Also, what happened to Matsuki who looked quite promising in early games?

Armstrong through on goal twice. Hits the keeper with one and the post with the other.

He wants to give him the boot.
