Selles to Huddersfield

I tell you what Saints should take a long hard look and bring Selles back in

They are talking about that English guy from Lens?

Will Still. Think that will be a good move for Southampton. Did really well at Reims and was looking decent at Lens. Came across excellently on MNF a few weeks ago.

Huddersfield appoint former Ipswich attacking coach Lee Grant as manager.

Huddersfield appoint former Ipswich attacking coach Lee Grant as manager.

Bit of an odd one, seeing as he has never been a first team manager before. Has all the playing experience you would want though tbf and sure has a lot of contacts in the game which will help with getting players in on loan or permanently.

Will either be quite the brilliant move or a total train wreck haha.

Lee Grant the goalkeeper was an attacking coach?

Lee Grant the goalkeeper was an attacking coach?

After hanging up his boots at Manchester United in 2022, the goalkeeper followed Kieran McKenna and Martyn Pert to Portman Road for his first role in coaching.

The 42-year-old played a key role behind the scenes, as an attacking coach, in helping the Blues rise from League One to the Premier League.

He was a first team coach at Ipswich and yes he was a keeper for Derby, Burnley, Sheff Wed and finished with 4 years at ManUre before retiring in 2022.

Looks like Muslic is leaving Plymouth. Definitely good news for the league; I certainly backed them with him at the helm.

Brian Barry-Murphy takes over as Cardiff boss and Plymouth are now managed by Tom Cleverley.

[Mr Angry]

Apparantly, Gareth Bale is fronting up a US consortium who are looking to acquire Plymouth.

Have they done away with the shambolic three 12.30 Saturday KOs in each league now?

Doubt it. The 12.30 KOs are to get around the blackout rule from 3 - 5pm every Saturday. However, that rule is only in place when over 50% of the top 2 divisions are playing at that time, so I suspect on the opening weekend all 3pm KOs will be televised, with the games above selected for full coverage with studio, pundits etc.,

Once the season gets in full swing, more games will be moved to 12.30 to make the available on TV.
