Cifuentes has totally transformed QPR. The difference between a decent manager and a good coach. One parking the bus every given opportunity the other setting his team out to win games.
We won't see what this England team is truly capable of until Southgate has gone..... saying that, I'll eat humble pie if we win the Euros.
Ipswich 2 games in hand, 1 point behind, and 7 less GD. Hull and Coventry away games should be doable
Don't think they will as they have an ace up their sleeve in their last home game... you know... Pushing up the ante I know you got to see me Read 'em and weep The dead man's hand again Huddersfield Town
Leicester City living proof that all you need to get promoted from the Championship is a team full of premier league players... in the championship, a couple of players at the club that you can sell for a best part of 80 million (Barnes and Maddison). Add to that the estimated £111 million they got at the end off the 22/23 season for final league position despite relegation, then the first lumper of parachute payments of roughly £45 million....... £235 plus million gets you promoted into the Premier League. The rest of us don't stand a chance baring a freak season like Ipswich (spending behind the scenes but no where near Leicester) if they go up. There's alot of money to be made in failure in football.
Don’t worry, their fans will be insufferable until the season starts and they start getting tanned every week.
Phillips gone and Sarll in at Pools Hartlepool United can today confirm that Head Coach Kevin Phillips’ contract has come to an end. Hartlepool United can also confirm the appointment of Darren Sarll as their new manager with immediate effect. On the departure of Kevin Phillips, Chairman Raj Singh said: "Kevin has done a good job this season since coming in as Head Coach and he’s been great to work with. His remit upon appointment was firstly to make sure that the club retained its current league status and then from there to start looking up towards play-off positions. "We had a difficult backdrop and precarious league position when the previous manager departed. We believed that Kevin was the right appointment to navigate through things and in the end he has helped comfortably ensure that the club stay away from any relegation concerns, which at one point were lingering. "We put on record our thanks to Kevin and we all wish him the very best for the next steps in his career. He will always be welcome at Pools." Darren Sarll said: "I'm really excited to get started - the opportunity and challenge at the club is one I'm very much looking forward to. I'm coming here in order to win and we need to close that gap to the play-offs. "We won't accept mediocrity, we need to challenge every season and that all starts from the dressing room. I can’t wait to start, creating a strong dressing room is the priority ahead of this pre-season. "Over the years I have managed visiting teams at the Suit Direct Stadium and I am fully aware of the amazing passion the fans have for the club. The intensity they bring gives us a huge advantage and we must capitalise on this community's passion. "I really want to create some lasting memories and be part of what is already an illustrious history. Supporters being proud of their town and team means everything to me."
