Sir Jim Ratcliffe has made Gareth Southgate his No.1 choice to replace Erik ten Hag as Manchester United boss this summer.

And United investor Ratcliffe is growing increasingly confident of being able to lure the England boss to Old Trafford. His contract runs out in December and the FA are desperate to get him to sign a new one.

But he has refused to discuss his future until after Euro 2024 in Germany. It would cost Ratcliffe around £800,000 in compensation for Southgate - and he would like a decision from him sooner rather than later, so he can plan for next season and beyond.

Ratcliffe and INEOS director of sport Sir Dave Brailsford have consulted some of United’s former greats about who should replace Ten Hag. And the overwhelming choice was Southgate.

Southgate also has the backing of some of United’s current players - and incoming director of football Dan Ashworth. Southgate has a close relationship with Ashworth following their time together at the FA, with the latter being a huge supporter of the 53-year-old.

--------------------------------


This cannot be real :laugh:


Thinking about it, Southgate probably has the connections for a new old trafford stadium

the united fans would love Gareth to be the new manager :dance:

He has shown far more tactical awareness than Ten Hag for sure

I think he'll do good.

I mean if he can turn England around from the disgrace that lost to Iceland, into a decent side, then he can get Man Utd back on track.

Flaming hell !!

Load of fuss about Havertz

The panel is suggesting that Havertz should have been sent off for simulation …

Simulation happens about 20 times each game … why on earth highlight this instance !


They didn’t say anything about few weeks ago when Coufal made two RED card assaults on one player ( young winger ) to never even got a yellow ! !


The poor guy assaulted … went on his Twitter X account afterwards and said “ what the hell was happening ? “

Even Roy Keane said one was a red card !

The ‘committee’ also decided that the Docu assault on Mac Allister wasn’t a penalty !!

FFS
Jesus it was dangerously high plus he led with his studs !!


Everyone agreed that it wasn’t deliberate but a foul can be accidental.

The vast majority said that anywhere else on the field then it would be a red card or yellow at best

Newcastle United defender Sven Botman is expected to be out for "six to nine months" after a scan revealed he needs surgery on a knee injury.

The Dutchman injured his anterior cruciate ligament in Saturday's FA Cup defeat at Manchester City and had to be substituted late on.

The 24-year-old centre-back will have surgery next week.

Fabulous breaking news !!

The two Prem giants ( ManC and Chelski ) have effectively been told they could face the ultimate sanction - by the Commission that deducted Nottingham Forest four points this week.

In their 52-page written reasons, Robert Glancy KC, sports law specialist Mark Hovell and accountancy expert Steve Holt explain why they came to the Forest judgement and put the City Ground club’s £34.5m breach of Profitability and Sustainability Rules in context.

They point to the unlimited sanctions available in any case, “ranging from a warning through to expulsion from the Premier League”.

The Commission added: “Where a PSR breach is 'minor', then it will be for other Commissions to determine if any points deduction is necessary, appropriate or proportionate

“But if the breach is properly described as 'major' then it may be the case that even a very severe sanction such as expulsion is more appropriate.”
The scale of the allegations against City and the Chelsea admissions suggest both cases would fit the “major” category IF they are proven.”

Only two previous managers have reached a half-century in the win column – World Cup winner Sir Alf Ramsey (69) and England’s longest-serving manager Sir Walter Winterbottom (78).

Apparently it’s just something that he’s excellent at but hates watching it or chatting about it or going through tactics etc

It's not that they "had/have" to pay for sex lets be honest. It's because there is more anonymity when going with escorts/hookers. They could usually easy get sex every day of the week with plenty of wannabe WAGS, but they don't want to get caught.

He’s a complicated guy … as in .. he doesn’t actually love football !

Apparently it’s just something that he’s excellent at but hates watching it or chatting about it or going through tactics etc

Supposedly great players like Michael Owen , Mick Channon and Micky Quinn all played football to fund their love of horse breeding .. and none of them listed football as their favourite sport or pastime


Getting back to Ben White I heard that he was incensed by something said to him by one of England’s back room staff at the World Cup despite Southgate claiming otherwise

Tbf, I imagine that happens in a lot of Sports, where talented people at a particular Sport love another Sport more, but are less gifted at their preferred Sport.

Like for example I know that Flintoff prefers Darts to Cricket to watch.

Ronaldo definitely has a unique personality.

A truly fantastic Footballer though, and he did it in the Premier League at Manchester United (when they were a phenomenal team,) and that I think should always be a respected part of Ronaldo's career imo.

I regard him as an amazing athlete with a good degree of skill/talent

I put his effectiveness down to his physicality and power/speed and dedication whereas Messi relies on natural genius .

Keeping on Women’s football

It’s been the topic for the past 15 minutes on TalkSport

They had a woman player and a spokesperson for women’s football as guests


The spokesperson was very defensive throughout .. she was asked about Arsenal WFC apparently giving tickets away for free .. she said she didn’t think that was correct but that she felt a lot of people buy tickets for women’s football but don’t attend !
She said it’s mainly family oriented so if the kids are poorly or don’t want to go then the family won’t go ..

Her responses seemed a bit word of mouth rather than being fact based ..

She was adamant that Arsenal women should be playing their games at the Emirates stadium …


The female player seemed more grounded and said she didn’t like playing on huge grounds in front of a small audience but preferred playing to a packed house in a small ground .

Tbh I can understand that complaint because it is unfair to the male Pundits, because it's okay for women to provide commentary on men's Football, but it's not okay for men to provide commentary on women's Football, that's hypocrisy and these Channels need to do better.

However I have seen just on TalkSport's comment section on YouTube alone, people mocking women's Football even being a thing, obviously it's not everyone that comments on there (because for example I don't say that stuff) but I have seen a fair few on there behave in a hostile way towards women's Football, and imo there's no need for some of it.

I get it if you're just not keen on the Sport, but some people take their dislike of women's Football to an extreme.

Tbh the same can be said for some of the people that don't like men's Football as well.

I just think it's impossible to predict. Either way i think all 3 teams are showing serious signs of fatigue now. Pretty straight forward wins for Arsenal and Liverpool at the weekend tbf, though i didn't watch so not sure how they both played.


Both underperformed compared to their own levels

I think that considering how many black people play Football, there probably should have been more opportunities handed to them than there has been imo.

I especially think that a few years back, ex-black Footballers were disadvantaged when getting into Football management, don't get me wrong it's getting better, but it's still not at the level that it probably should be at in my view.

And I am not saying that the clubs should also be hiring black Managers for the sake of it either, but they should be more up for consideration than they are currently I feel.

Controversially I will say that being overrepresented is also an issue.

I say this because it more than likely means that the corporation in question is more concerned with looking good, rather than the quality of their product (whatever that product may be) it's likely to be problematic in execution of the quality.

I like Troy Deeney, and hope that you're right.

There are three things that he needs to do first though.

1. Learn from his mistakes at Forest Green.

2. Learn these mistakes away from Blues.

And 3. Once he has learned his craft, become Blues Manager.

I think that's a fair arrangement.:dance:

My beloved Barca are looking at buying a midfielder… €100 million !!!

Onana remains the third option and would be the costliest of the three. His move would require a major sale before coming to fruition. The 22-year-old has received a lot of interest from all across Europe and would cost the Catalans close to or over €100 million (£85.5m/$107.2m).
