Martin O'Neill's caretaker role at Celtic last 36 days.Martin O’Neill might be getting a few offers
Wilfried Nancy's permanent position lasted 33 days.
The last two Premier League Manager of the Month awards went to Amorim and Maresca.
Didn't see the game, but I did catch Adli's ridiculous dive against the filth.
They've got the power to ban him and they should, but they won't.
Absolutely laughable attempt at... something.

When you look back and consider what followed, he wasn’t all that bad. But I’d prefer Glasner or Emery (not Dick).
Emery would be nuts to leave Villa for old Trafford right now even though Utd are a bigger club
Glasner’s style wouldn’t be the Man Utd way and it could end up like Thomas Frank at Spurs with some fans not happy with the style
The problem is that if Utd are going to appoint a coach, the options are limited. But if there is a change of policy (unlikely I concede), then either of these would be capable of taking on the challenge.
I fear that the division of all the various roles creates conflict and differences in approach which ultimately makes the system dysfunctional.
SAF was in charge; he coached the players, he had the final say with recruitment, he oversaw the youth system and he knew and worked with all the the staff from the club's hierarchy to the tea ladies - even if he delegated many of the tasks within that to people he trusted. The current philosophy doesn't work and never will. The manager needs to be autonomous.
I think the real issue is which managers want to work for free
Because that seems to be the priority with Jim Ratfink's approach to paying people
Am I losing my mind here?
West Ham fans were fuming that the penalty was given.
They think it's a 'coming together' and that Gibbs-White was never getting the ball anyway.
Be that as it may, it's a clear penalty IMO.
Areola comes to palm the ball away, gets nowhere near it and ends up whacking Gibbs-White in the face. Penalty.
Not sure what the fuss is about...
If anything, they should be more annoyed with their player for being so clumsy rather than VAR intervening.

Called it in real time. Clear as day penalty for me, not sure why they are debating it. Keeper was about a week too late with the punch.. 
Agree with you. Some on the Prem think it’s not a penalty but I don’t see how it’s not as he took out MGW without touching the ball
All I'm seeing on social media (primarily 'X') is West Ham fans raging at the officials and the 'softness' of the penalty.
Areola as the defending player doesn't play the ball and takes out the attacking player. Since when was that not a penalty?
It's just a very weird thing to be so annoyed about.
Especially when they played like crap that second half.
West Ham are 7 points off safety. It is looking ominous for them.
I still wouldn't say it's 100% over yet - as there's a couple of teams above them who I don't fully trust - but they're in serious danger now.
As things stand right now, there is a possibility of West Scam and Millwall swapping places...
