Old Man Andrews Have no idea why Allegri would want to leave Juventus tbh.


Got his eye on the national job?

He might be thinking he has taken Juve as far as he can and wants a different challenge.

Yeah there is that element to it for sure. As an outsider that jsut seems like one of the best jobs you could ever have in football, magnificent club that will never not be at the top of Italian football. Not sure I'd recommend the Italian national job to my worst enemy, must be a horrible place to be if something goes wrong.

100% agree that from the outside looking in, it seems like a crazy decision because you're at the best football club in your country with no one really challenging that title.

But they have failed at the final hurdle a couple of times in the Champs League and always dominate in the domestic title, so maybe he has become a little bored with it and come to the conclusion they can't quite make it in the CL.

Hard to comment on the national job, we probably have a totally different perspective on it than the Italian people and if it goes well, you're a national hero.

Seems like a very unstressful job from the outside looking in, well compared to other big jobs out there.

They are custom made for Zidane should Allegri leave.

Ludicrously Darren Moore has been sacked by West Brom.

Ludicrous indeed, their recent form hasn’t been brilliant but they are well emplaced in the upper play-off zone.

Can only hope that they bomb

I hope they do a Birmingham after they sacked rowett for zoLOLa for utterly no reason other then they wanted a name in. Iirc they were in the top 8?

That is still the most hilarious capitulation of a club ever.

Joke decision, it isn't like they were top all season and are suddenly out of the playoffs after losing 10 games in a row :roll:

From the outside it looks to be an odd decision but I think I heard correctly that WBA haven't won at home this year and they only managed a draw at home to Ipswich on Saturday.
Middlesboro (in the top 6) fans are also unhappy with performances and, as we have just seen with Leicester, once the fans get restive the board often get twitchy.

BTW I watched West Brom's game at Leeds the other night and they were absolutely slaughtered and it could have been more than 4-0 so, we don't watch them every week, their league position maybe exceeeds performances.

They've lost 4 games since 3rd November. Ridiculous decision.

Good to see Kes has deleted his comment about the fact that we are all saying it is a joke decision is because he is a black manager......

I've got no idea who WBA think they're going to get in but I thought Moore was doing a pretty good job overall. Sure their recent form has been poor but teams don't go straight back up to the Prem like they used to. Look at the state of Stoke and Swans for example.

I'd like to see Moore given a chance at Reading.

Gomes is a short-term fix who may not even keep us up. Whilst he's improved us, his tactics and style aren't conducive to the league or English football. We are constantly vulnerable. He has never spent longer than 6 months at any of his previous clubs. We need someone with proven pedigree in the English game and Moore fits that perfectly.

That is a load of nonsense I'm afraid John.
