Possibly. We had Barmby step up after Pearson went back to Leicester. But I think it’s moot anyway. Why would the Allams sack McCann and pay his compensation when they just have to wait a few months for the new owner to do it?
Saints’ scouts watching KLP. He’s far behind how Bowen was in his first Championship season in 2017/18 and it took two and half Championship seasons for Bowen to be ready for the Prem. What KLP and the other young lads with potential at City need is a proven Championship manager to coach them.
The quality of officiating is/has really deteriorated when it comes to assistant referees (linos to you and me). They are garbage. Did he flag for the penalty yesterday. Not sure he did but Sharp looked offside from where I was in W11 so god knows what he was seeing.
And that is the way to run the club on a shoestring if that is the way forward (employ good coaching staff who can results). Trouble is silly **** Ehab doesn't know or see that.
I don't think you can tell definitively from either of those pictures as a) they are from at an angle, and b) they are both so tight. I thought, and still think, TS was marginally offside. His feet are on side, but I didn't, and still don't, think his body is. Even closer with Sharp.
This. Remembering also that Honeyman was already on a yellow. We had an absolutely ridiculous spell of 'defending'. One other point though. In that area on the edge of the baby box, our CB's should anyway be dominating. Needs less worrying about their players, more watching the ball and commanding our own area. If this is how they are coaching them, then it's shocking.
How much compensation would McCann be entitled to if he was dumped this week? Anyone know his contract terms? A sale agreement may well include a clause where the two parties could agree on a trigger point for his firing and a "settlement cost" split on asset transfer, i.e. an adjustment to the selling price (either way given the "new" owners may have lined up a replacement manager).
When he joined it was a rolling 1 year contract from June 19 so I’m guessing he’d be owed just over 9 months.
