I don't think it's come from the club, more likely Mendes (Mourinho's agent) who fell out with LvG over Falcao and Di Maria. It had also been reported in the Spanish press on Saturday morning. When Utd change the manager they are obliged to make a statement on the NYSE first.


Mick, I'm not a big fan of Mourinho, but he doesn't equal boring negativity. He only has to look at LvG's experience to see that Utd fans won't put up with that type of football in the long term. Who would you have employed? When it comes to top quality managers, the cupboard is bare at the moment. I'm more worried about his whole demeanor and behaviour. I expect an initial charm offensive, then the usual fireworks. Hopefully being at Utd he will rein it in...

I don't know RD - you feel a change was needed so soon


I'd have given LVG another season - what happended to MU's managerial longevity. It seems these negotiations started many months ago - that's hardly fair.


You cant really argue that MU fans don't put up with dull football and then in the same breath appoint Jose - he's success at a cost.


I think people are completely bored with his antics. I hoped MU would always be out of his reach.

mmm. Not sure.


Rangers fans and club are hard to like but blatant assaults on staff/players and fans by sectertarian driven 'nationalism', which is being widely ignored by the media and scottish nationalist establishment . A reminder why the sectarian bigotry of Scottish football should be kept well away from the Premiership to me.

Well, yes that's the point in all the Hibs Love (team not EDF poster :) ); all the nastiness is swept under the carpet

Apart from you two stating the obvious, there is a problem in Scotland, I don't see what your comments have got to do with the match on Saturday.

I prefer to discuss the sport and not the politics. As such it was a great game.


The political problems need to be sorted out in society, like racism in England, before they drop out of football - which tends to represent the worst in society, pretty well. But hey why not talk about the football.

Hibs were by far the better team on Saturday bar twenty odd minutes or so where Rangers showed how well they can play.

Since beating Celtic in the semi's we've struggled to play nearly as well as we know we can.

I think Stubbs outsmarted Warburton with his 5 in midfield.

Rangers need a good few signings this closed season otherwise we could find ourselves mid table pretty easily.


This guy will help start things rolling - like him or not, there is no denying he is a quality player:

And he is our complete cock now. Keeps the head screwed like the last season and he will run amok.

Brendan Rodgers - I couldn't be happier. For me this is a great appointment of a Celtic fan for the Celtic job, with Europe as a priority, and a friend of Mark Warburton, so all set up nicely for the future.


Desmond has finally upped the ante and pulled off a major coup here.


And was interested in Luis Suarez' view on his management ability:


?Brendan is one of the best coaches in Europe and I am not surprised he is looking to get back in to the game because it is a game he loves,? said Suarez


?If it wasn?t for Brendan, then I know I would not be the same player that you see at Barcelona today. Such a big part of my education is down to him and his management.


?Of course he works to make the team stronger but he really works on a one-to-one level with the players.


?He will sit down with each player at the club, and work on where you can improve, where you can exploit opposition, he leaves nothing to chance.


?He is a very intelligent man. If the players listen to his words, they will become better players for sure.


?I wasn?t proven and I had to adapt to the Premier League, which Brendan knew. He knows all about English football and he educated me to become successful.


?I am glad he has taken his time since leaving Liverpool. He should only be looking at the top jobs, with the top clubs, who will be playing Champions League football.?

What about his signings though?


Successes? Can, Sturridge, Coutinho...maybe Origi in time?


Get a load of this though:


Benteke - ?32m

Nathaniel Clyne - ?13m

Joey Gomez - ?6m

Balotelli - ?16m

Alberto Moreno - ?13m

Lazar Markovic - ?20m

Adam Lallana - ?26m

Ricky Lambert - ?5m

Tiago Ilori - ?7m (nope, me neither)

Sakho - ?16m

Borrini - ?10m

Joe Allen - ?17m

Luis Alberto - ?7m

Iago Aspas - ?7m

Simon Mignolet - ?10m (possibly a pass)


Hope he has such a success rate with you lot!!

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
