Not sure that’s a huge step up for glasner, also good luck with the forest owner
I think it is a step up.
Palace are very much a selling club, Forest sell but also spend quite a lot.
Also Forest has the history
Palace give you time to work through difficult periods. At Forest you could finish 6th, win the FA Cup and then get sacked for losing the opening 3 games the following season.
And maybe get paid twice as much for doing the job?

heard him being touted for the Scotland job earlier this week.
Not to be, so a bullet dodged for both him and for Scotland then.

Courtesy of the Guardian's live World Cup blog, weirdly - Andy Hughes has joined Athletic Bilbao as their set-piece coach, having left a similar role with the Scotland national side.

Mexico's manager has gone.

I think he was heard to say "If I can't motivate you lot to beat a oxf*rd useless team like England I might as well jack it in".
I suppose I should add a :wink: knowing how seriously some on here take things.

Liam Rosenior lands the Paris FC job

I reckon that is a pretty good move. A club very much on the way up, with extremely wealthy owners.

Jermaine Defoe leaves his role at Woking Town after just four months, after an apparent fall-out with DoF Jody Brown.

Andrea Pirlo was reportedly about to be announced as the new Italian manager. The Italian FA then found he was an ambassador for a Russian gambling company and so have pulled the plug at the 11th hour.

Is Italian football now the most basket case football in the world?

Leonardo & Paulo Maldini both joined the Italian FA 2 weeks ago and were behind the support to get Andrea Pirlo in as manager. Now rumours that they will be both be resigning over this.

Italy wouldn't be Italy without chaos and drama :lol:

Incredible goings-on at York City. Stuart Maynard has been fired a week before the season starts - having taken the club to a record-setting promotion last season. Fans totally bewildered.

York board said they made the decision as it was apparent there was a difference in direction and vision for the football club between them. York’s season starts next Monday v Crawley in the League Cup Preliminary Round.

Feels like versions of this are stated when the Board wants a lot more control over the team that a manager is inclined to give them.

Found out today his middle name is Norbert. I haven't checked (and won't be)
