Yeah, I can imagine it

For the time being, sure. But if 10 years from now there’s another popular movement in support of EU membership that’s blocked by a military treaty agreed with Russia, it doesn’t bode well for political stability there. The history of imposing these kinds of limits on a country’s political...

Half an hour from kickoff, promotion on the line, atmosphere around the country is absolutely electric

How are those kind of conditions tenable if there’s popular support among Ukrainians for joining either the EU or NATO in the future? Aren’t we just then back where we were in 2014?

Why appoint a manager based on big name appeal?

I just don’t see any huge evidence from his time at Feyenoord that he’s this transformative figure in management or superstar coach. Very small sample size, admittedly (although that’s another issue). But Man Utd don’t seem desperate to keep him around. As I say - I doubt he’s interested in us...

I mean, it’s Watford. Van Nistelrooy strikes me as a bit of a mystery box/flavour of the month option, with limited upside and the potential to be a disaster, but I doubt he’s interested in coming here anyway.

More experience in the Championship than any of the main names featured so far. It’s all gone wrong this season but he was brilliant for Luton the two years before that, and with Forest Green before them. I’d take him for sure - his style is quite direct but I think he could get the best out of...

Gullit’s last job was in 2011 in Chechnya (he lasted five months).

This is quite a lot of mental gymnastics to substantiate the random musings of a Man Utd YouTuber.

Don’t have time to read all that - there’s a man at the door who says he’s the wallet inspector.

Like what? And we’re suddenly supposed to believe they have close links to both Ruud van Nistelrooy and Doug King now?

Pretty disappointing we haven’t already used this song for Jack Rudoni tbh

That financial and military (human) cost is likely the difference between a diplomatic resolution that is acceptable to Ukraine and one that isn’t.

I don’t see why Moyes would want our job, or any other job in this league. He’s 61 and hasn’t managed outside a top division for more than 20 years.

Very difficult to prove who’s applied for a manager’s job, which makes it the perfect fodder for rumours. Unless this YouTuber has a direct contact with Van Nistelrooy (or his agent etc) then I don’t see how they could know it for sure - given that this kid doesn’t have any kind of track record...

I obviously thought the cup run was lovely but it was a pretty crap reason to keep Robins in a job.

Where’s his iPad?
