Lots of comments about Harrison off to join Solomon at Florentina. Loan with an option to buy.
Thought Manor would have given his new club the heads up.
1.) 13 Jan 2026 13:22:59
Weird eh. Why would they want a player not as good as sol. Oh well. Sell sell sell.
2.) 13 Jan 2026 18:01:23
There must a reason Spurs didn't pick Solomon in the EPL Aus. Everyone has their level; we actually do not know how good Solomon would have been in the EPL, other than Spurs didn't think he was good enough.

Maresca and Amorin have gone. Rosenoir seems very confident he is the man to change Chelsea's fortunes but he's not the first one to take that job with the same belief. All his predecessors have virtually fallen away because they haven't achieved enough or can't cope with the interference from the owners. We'll see whether he sees out his six and a half year contract. They'll either be a very successful club within a couple of years or he'll be a very rich man.
Solskjaer is maybe coming back as interim manager. Once again, United can't get off the same treadmill.
Liverpool had the right attitude for many years with a succession plan but clubs don't seem to do it nowadays. I hope Keith Andrews succeeds at Brentford as that is passing on the baton.
Nuno is under pressure and the loss at Wrexham won't do him any favours and Thomas Frank is not taking Spurs where they want to be.
So we have Thomas Farke. He's won the Championship after an exhilarating season, is working with a relatively limited budget and has now unexpectedly found a way to make us difficult to play against.
The "bigger"teams chop and change but they usually don't achieve what they want.
I like Farke. He's not perfect and makes some odd substitutions at times but I think he's part of a group that is very united and hopefully will keep us up and stay on to consolidate our position in the Premiership for many years to come.

Don't think Forests loss at Wrexham will affect West Hams manager Dunelm, must have been in a time warp ?.
2.) 11 Jan 2026 00:02:20
Thomas Farke? Is that a new manager?
3.) 11 Jan 2026 03:04:14
Apparently they are identical twins. Thomas was in charge first 12 games and then they swapped and nobody was none the wiser. One of the mysteries of the world uncovered.

I think the point about hiring and firing coaches in the Premiership is a very valid one.
A coach today in top flight football is the most expendable person at any given club. Although he is paid very well but no where near what some footballers receive, his existence from day one hangs literally by a thread
A football coach’s contract at a club can be terminated sometimes in a matter of weeks with the what it seems, extreme demands by owners and fans.
Personally I find it ridiculous how a coach can implement his ideas to his players and that's quite often, not with the players he has contracted, then get instant results from his barely used methods.
For me any new coach should be given a minimum of two full seasons before being judged and assessed, you can double that amount of time at a elite club.
Sadly in todays climate of instant success, coach’s are left with little to zero time to applicate their methods and nurture a team of players to become a more successful team than they were.
The heavy demands for success at both Chelsea and Man United has proven in recent times that hiring and firing their coach’s simply isn’t working.
Why they can’t see that to me is very curious, Man united have been more generous in the time they have given their managers but I still think it’s not enough, especially at an elite club.
When does it finally sink in when season after season by just throwing what translates, another lamb to the slaughter, that you actually realize that your coach/ manager needs more time to reach success.
5.) 11 Jan 2026 07:56:40
For me and I registered this opinion a few seasons ago. Pre Farke I think. A coach should not have a set contract. It should be annually and dependant on realistic games won a points achieved.
6.) 11 Jan 2026 08:27:17
I'm with OP on this. The classic example being Sir Alex, who was on the brink of the chop half a season into his tenure. Who knows what might have happened had they followed thro with that.
The biggest jokers right now are the Celtic crew, who didn't even give Nancy enough time to properly educate his players on his playing system.
7.) 11 Jan 2026 10:32:19
Ferguson is a rarity. That was one lucky man. And lucky for them. That Dosent often happen.
8.) 11 Jan 2026 14:03:10
Didn't say otherwise Aus, but as with Don, it shows what stability can bring. There's a long list if you think about it.
06 Jan 2026 18:56:52
Interesting night coming up. West Ham v Forest. Not quite sure whether I want a draw or a Forest win? I think Dyche is secure at Forest whatever the result but Nuno is under great pressure if he doesn't get a win at home.
The fans relationship with him is toxic and most of the squad find him difficult-remote, erratic and not connecting with senior players such as Ward Prowse. Whatever, the mayhem elsewhere should help us.
1.) 06 Jan 2026 19:24:15
I’m guessing a draw, but I’m zero from 200 plus in predictions.
West Ham have come to their senses in picking Soucek again, and Sels back in goal for Florists, for me, both their respective best players last season, couldn’t understand both being dropped.
And their results speak volumes.
2.) 06 Jan 2026 19:46:05
That's why Nuno has ***sed off some of the established players. The results have been crap so bring in the likes of WP and Souchek. Haven't looked at the teams so don't know who's in. One thing about WP, if you get a free kick around the edge of the box there's not many better at hitting the back if the net.
3.) 06 Jan 2026 19:49:11
No WP or Wilson. He's on his way out. Ironic if he joined us and put another nail in their coffin.
4.) 06 Jan 2026 20:10:34
So many empty seats at West Ham. Fans making their feelings known. Even when we struggled and Farke was under pressure the fans still turned up. That's how it should be.
5.) 06 Jan 2026 20:58:46
Would prefer to see a Forest equaliser in H2, and a dull stalemate from there. Just keep both of them at arms length.
6.) 06 Jan 2026 21:52:18
Well, Spammers are in big big trouble now, that was awful.
7.) 06 Jan 2026 21:57:03
Thought you were going to get your wish Bright but looking more like a Forest win. Think Nuno will be gone tomorrow.
8.) 06 Jan 2026 22:00:07
Supposed can accept a Spammers defeat, then!
9.) 06 Jan 2026 22:01:38
Nuno embracing his ex Forest players and little contact with his current squad. He's gone.
10.) 06 Jan 2026 22:39:23
Probably the best result for us. A Spam win would have reduced our lead over the relegation zone to 5 whereas now it's still 8. On average the points requirement for survival is about 36, but after 21 games Spam are only on 14, and so need at least 22 from their remaining 17 games which would need a massive improvement in form.
We on the other hand we need 14 from 18.
11.) 06 Jan 2026 23:13:05
That was the best result for us. A point tomorrow night would do very nicely.
12.) 07 Jan 2026 06:45:38
But I want 3 feath!
13.) 07 Jan 2026 12:50:00
One can dream Bright!

Moffi is at a tribunal on Thursday with his legal team arguing that his contract should be terminated on personal safety grounds as he and some other players were assaulted by Nice fans in November when the team bus was attacked. Don't think he's played or even trained since then.
12 Jan 2026 17:07:24
Nwaneri of interest to Bournemouth who just lost Semenyo. He might want to stay at the Emirates but he's well down the pecking order and I'm sure Arteta would like to get him out, even if it's to put him in the shop window. There's a lot of pure profit in some of the second string Arsenal players.
09 Jan 2026 20:15:10
Entirely agree Class.
08 Jan 2026 19:08:04
Surprises me as well because Bornauw has performed reasonably well since he came in and I'd rather have the devil you know rather than risk bringing in two new central defenders. I'd keep him and bring in Desai.
He may have aspirations to play in the World Cup but we pay his wages and when he's needed he has to perform-it helps us but also his desire to be selected for the national team.
06 Jan 2026 20:58:52
Quite right. You need to put a full stop between the 2 and the 5. £2.5m is about right.
12 Jan 2026 19:40:30
Conspiracy theories. You'll be saying next that referees don't like Leeds. ?.
12 Jan 2026 17:12:32
Pace is great but you need to have the end result and Okafor only shows glimpses of what we hoped he could do. I've always liked Willie G for his enthusiasm and commitment and hope we can find a slot for him to play on a more regular basis. He's done ok the last few games.
10 Jan 2026 20:56:34
I agree. I think Harry G should be given the opportunity. He needs this chance to show how good he is. If it doesn't work out then it isn't the end of the world. He's talented enough to come back, particularly with the support he has from family and the club. It's not about age but about ability.
And he looks as though he has it.
Perri was poor from the beginning with distribution and hasn't got any better. He can accurately throw the ball a long way but he's fairly useless with his feet. Just surprised that the "intensive" coaching hasn't improved him in that area.
09 Jan 2026 20:13:19
Very sad situation. I've been to watch Cougars play several times at Feathersone in times past and not always got the victory I'd hoped for. They were always full on affairs but unfortunately RL, particularly in the lower leagues, is going to struggle, just like teams in League 2.
08 Jan 2026 19:33:17
The result wasn't what we hoped for but the performance was good and if we maintain that level until the end of the season we'll be a Premiership club next season. We're stretching every team we play and nobody feels comfortable playing against us. Was there this level of optimism months ago? I don't think so.
