I’m surprised (not really ) that they’ve let it leak in the manner they have before an agreement is 100% sorted.

Lokomotive were playing Lazio earlier and got beat 3-0 at home, so maybe that needed getting out of the way first.

Plus he has to get a work permit sorted. No idea what that involves but if it's done via a Govt dept, you know it ain't gonna be speedy.

what formation do we reckon he'll use? i've seen he likes to play 4-4-2 or 4-2-2-2 but I'm not sure if we have the right squad to accommodate that (unless we drop bruno and want to persist with at least one of mcfred)

2 armoured divisions up front with close air support & 1 in reserve to exploit any breakthroughs.
Infantry division to hold the ground that has been taken.

I'd imagine he's flying in, tbf, but could explain why he's not overseeing the Chelsea game.

Not sure I'm a fan of all the fancy buzzwords he's bringing with him , but hopefully he can get us playing some sexy football again.

fair old drive from Moscow.

Won’t have a work permit in time for Chelsea. Do we play midweek or does he get a full week to thrash and humiliate them into shape before Arsenal?

Back four what it is, Cavani and Ronaldo up front, Sancho and Rashford down the flanks with Greenwood and Pogba options. Bruno and Matic in the middle.

Not mates with Ed, mates with Murtagh. Could prove to be a very shrewd move. Time wil tell.

For anyone interested in his impact on German football recommend reading Das Reboot. Some of the lazy feckers in the squad are £#%&!ed. Any leaks re coaching, training etc. now should be shrugged off, he will work them and work them hard

Think/hope he will bring in his own assistant to work alongside the two rookies. Phelan out the door.

I reckon we could put out a five-a-side team.

Hope we play 4222

Not a good look for most of our squad if we do.

Good luck trying to implement all that in 6 months mate.

£#%&!ing hell it'll take 6 years for most of our thick @#%&!s to get their heads around it.
