Have you heard of Courtney Senior Jay?

Not until now. Have decided he looks amazing though:

I forget Colchester United exists sometimes tbh.

Manchester United paid £19.6m in compensation to Jose Mourinho and his backroom staff when he was sacked in December, the club have revealed.

That sum, which is listed under "exceptional items" in United's second-quarter financial results, includes pay-outs for the five members of Mourinho's staff who left with him on December 18 after United recorded their worst start to a campaign in 28 years.

ouch baby ouch.

If £19.6m is the price they had to pay to get back on track, then so be it.

Would rather pay it and finish fourth than keep it and end up battling Huddersfield for relegation.

Lingard and Martial out for 3 weeks. More of Mata and sexy Sanchez. Lol. 3 defeats on the bounce incoming. Easy for Liverpool now.

Lol I am serious. Magic Mata and Sexy Sanchez are more of a help to the opposition than they are to us these days. When both are on the same time, it feels as if everyone else is playing in fast forward.

Depends on what tactics and midfield we play. I guess at most it would be a draw

Chelsea have been given another transfer ban:

That's why they did the Pulisic deal in January already and loaned him back, eh
Interesting to see how they will deal with Hazard expecting to be let leave now

They'll appeal and get the summer window to do their business, just as everyone else who gets a ban seems to do.

If they appeal now, I'm not sure they can rely on the decision process taking all the way until summer

while they are appealing they can continue to sign though so tits business as usual for them until next year when the final decision is rendered in appeal.

So...

Cardiff and Fulham definitely gone then?

Ranieri wasn't a good appointment. But maybe he was appointed for championship?

shame burnly are not going down instead

No I meant, I'm not sure appeals take this long anymore to be decided? Don't think this would take until next year, I don't even think they can bank on it taking until the summer window starts.

oh wait from what I read they're only appealing to FIFA first and then they can still take it to CAS. Thought this was already going to CAS.
So yeah guess you guys are right, same nonsense as with Barca, Real and Atletico

Zidane is being heavily linked to replace Sarri at Chelsea. I can only assume that it has partly to do with Eden being a childhood fan of ZZ, and they want him to extend his contract. Personally, I'm just happy to see him return to coaching. Several RM fans on this forum, seem to think he would be able to miraculously turn us into a locomotive of destruction, if he were to return to the helm for us.

As much as I absolutely love him for his achievements, both as a player and as a manager for us, I think him managing a club like Chelsea would perhaps bring the irrational fans who believe he's the solution to everything, down to a more grounded level.

I don't think the Chelsea job is a good way to gouge a coach 100%. It's right now a graveyard for coaches there problems run much deeper then just the managers, no identity, no plan for the future, poor transfers etc. Not saying the coaches at Chelsea are blameless but they aren't well run.

I'd say the fact that Chelsea job seems to be his best offer I'd say that not many seem to be fully sold on him yet. His next job will be big for him.

Zidane i hope is smart enough to stay away from Chelsea, about to lose their best players, hit by a transfer ban, not showing any willingness to compete with the other clubs for the title, ownership is in question, and yet they still expect the coach to overdeliver...

Zidane will have the pick of his club when he returns to coaching. The Juve job will be open soon when they can Allegri, and he has a special connection with CR. i dont see him coaching in England

It seems that Monchi will be heading to Arsenal, which probably means they won't be letting go of Emery any time soon.

BURNLEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Worst timeline.

Bumery bringing his old pals at the club

So this is the Spurs team that Bellendze is prancing on about beating them?

Pochettino telling Mike Dean "you owe me one"

The point was that we are easily a top 3 team under Ole. Spurs would walk Serie A tbh. PL is just that strong. UNreal depth. Burnley beat you too.
