Stoke City are set to appoint Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill.

Can't see this being a good decision for either party. The rot has already set in at Stoke and it ain't going away for a while. Chris Coleman to Sunderland springs to mind.
I find it really strange that O'Neill appears to be giving up a huge chance at reaching Euro 2020 (NI will probably be favourites in their March playoff) to go manage a crisis club that are in such a rut. There's a chasm in the dressing room between the players who were relegated from the PL who are on big wages and playing awfully, and the newcomers who are on lower wages but at least appear to be trying.

I do not see that ending well. It won't end well before the likes of Allen and Butland are offloaded and free up the wages to strengthen the whole squad.

Will we see the Welsh Pirlo grace the PL again?

Think we're gonna see a bit of movement soon

Can't see Emery, Silva or Pellegrini sticking around for long.

Tuchel is out of contract at the end of the season and I don't expect Ten Haag to stick around for long.

I will be very surprised if ten Haag hasn't come to an agreement to take over Bayern at the end of the season.

I don't rate Tuchel.

Everton...in a bit of a fix. Their manager is shite and needs sacking but who the hell would they actually be able to get!?

They've been living with delusion since they undertook 'Operation:Net Spend Brings Success', so it wouldn't surprise me if they thought they could get Poch :LOL:

Silva could be gone next. It sounds like the fans want him gone already and their next fixtures are Leicester, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal. I can't see him lasting to Christmas.
