Don't know why Liverpool don't sign him, would be great for them

Wonder if he'll be allowed to continue his column in the Chronicle

Simpson was his assistant. Steve Black used to work here years ago under Keegan and is a sports psychologist/ fitness specialist.

Yeah, as bad as Gullit and Dalglish were in the 90s there was excitement and a feeling we'd appointed the right man. Souness, Roeder, Pardew etc were just never going to cut it

Yeah surely Ashley has learnt his lesson on the 8 year deals

Apart from Redknapp, who turned us down before and is essentially retired, McClaren is the last English manager to win a trophy. The club will say this is evidence that we're now taking the cups seriously and have hired a proven winner

Mcclaren is one of those irritating managers who after a 4-0 home defeat says the character was magnificent. Magnificent is his favourite fucking word

Nothing wrong with reporting on speculation, they do it all the time! People are daft enough to stick loads of money based on rumours, there's f*** all Ofcom can do about that But when they create the speculation themselves in the first place? This is the point.

The Sky Sports / Sky Bet situation surely must be looked at by Ofcom or whoever is the regulatory body. Not saying it's the case with Vieira, but there is nothing stopping them putting some rumours out on a slow news day and raking in the bets

That goal was just beyond description, as was his performance. So good. Love Suarez's awareness when he gets in those positions as all, totally selfless. Kind of what Anita tried last week

Unlikely to be unhappy

Big risk but as we know Ashley likes a gamble Sadly for every Kevin Keegan there is a Bryan Robson

Replaced by a Sports Direct billboard

Notice no one has mentioned that he's black yet. Give it 24 hours and Oliver Holt will have tweeted/written a story about the lack of black managers in the game again

Think this is really exciting. Everyone who dealt with him said he was an outstanding, competitive leader and must have learnt plenty from Wenger. His pulling power for players will be great too There's gambling on an unproven manager like Hughton or Carver, and there's gambling on one of the best players of the last 20 years.

The club will say you wanted someone who has won trophies, this guy has done it home and abroad!

What happened to that woman we appointed?

Evident that they thought we were comfortable in January and shit themselves a couple of weeks ago when relegation looked real. Quite whether he sees this as his strategy being flawed remains to be seen.....

Embarrassing scenes at SJP and on Twitter. You'd think we were Burnley and had stayed up. Celebrate the goals but those players and coach should have snook down the tunnel in shame that it even got to this point

if you can think of a creative reason to siphon £500 out the account then do it. Maybe get a new credit card and stick it on that so she won't notice

Fucking blue bits to go with the Wonga logo.

Just re-read "jC's the main Geordie around here"

It's his defending that's kamikaze

That Juve stadium looks way bigger than 41,000 capacity

Anthony Marshall claiming it was written in Spanish and translated Would love to see the first version!
