I just had to google who the hell that Wolves manager is! Never heard of him!

It all feels a bit like Leeds or the other teams who keep bringing in foreign names then sack them a few months later, and go through about 4-5 managers a season.

The other side is the rare success of Watford who do a fairly similar thing, but to good effect. Hopefully Wolves will be so changes around, it will mess them up. A lot of learning English and the English game to do with the new Coaches and players.

You would have thought that KIO was the Chairman!
 
I've just read somewhere that Rooney is having a testimonial - really???? Like he needs the money??? <doh>

Edit - I've found the article - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-36884991
This makes ridiculous reading -

A little bit dismissive and disrespectful by 2 ex-Norwich boys in live radio. There is totally honest opinions there, but maybe they shouldn't be so blunt when broadcasting to a nation. I thought Bournemouth and Watford would go straight back down, probably with Sunderland.

...Funny though.

Is the "Fruity King" Sponsor of Everton a Twitter joke? Surely even Chinese investors would look into what that would mean on the top of an English clubs shirt?! There has been as ridiculous sponsor names on tops and grounds, so I don't know what to believe.
 
Bloody hell, Celtic were very lucky boys again! Talk about gifted a game. A Pen in 45+3, another pen in 90+2, and 2 red cards for the opposition in 90+1 and 90+2. Celtic are p*ss poor again this season. Never even heard of FC Astana.
