English football 2025-26

Leicester with a 6 point deduction...is that from the same investigation from last season?? If so it's ridiculously long winded

Tottenham have sacked Thomas frank, was on the cards but I don't agree with the decision...it's odd that they are always ravaged by injuries and they've had literally everyone come in and not been able to get a tune out of the players....assuming poch goes back in after the world cup

Spurs are arguably in the relegation battle now, so I don't think Frank can complain. Although who would want that job? Kane left, Son left.... and what they have left is, well, not that good.

They played a midfield last weekend of Sarr, Gray, Palhiniha and Gallagher .... and you wonder why you dont produce chances with 4 water carriers.

In fairness they were in a relegation battle last year too and they haven't done well for ages...not sure it's all Frank's fault....however I still think he could end up at palace and glasner move to spurs

De Zerbi left Marseille yesterday...an option?

I agree that Spurs have declined as a team, and that is not all Frank's fault, but his tactics have been very dour. When they have a fully fit squad, they just leave Kudus somewhere vaguely in the top 1/3 and expect him to do everything, and when he doesn't play they don't have any other ideas. Frank is a defensive minded coach, and thats ok when you grind out results consistency.... but when you are a big side slipping into big trouble, the form is terrible AND the football is just trash to watch, the fans will demand change.... and the fans got what they demanded.

I thought Frank did really well at Brentford over the years, so his chance will come again. But the fit at Spurs just didn't work, I think thats fair to say if a little harsh. But thats modern football.... you don't get a whole season to be trash anymore.

De Zerbi left Marseille yesterday...an option?

I seen them against us in Brussels in December, should have put 7-8 past them. And then Brugge a couple of weeks ago absolutely slaughtered them 3-0.... the same Brugge side that had not a single shot the weekend after against Union and is struggling for goals.

De Zerbi's Marseille team had talent going forward, but a trainwreck in defence. The PL is a very disciplined, defensive league.... hiring De Zerbi is going against that grain. If he has Spurs defending like Marseille, then West Hams can rejoice, because they aint going down

Huge result wolves holding forest to a draw...means gap is only 3 points we are right back in it, and I would say spurs are looking most likely at the moment they're in free fall....shocking result for palace especially when you consider they were 2-0 up!

[Durhamfootman]

Sunderland lose a home game for the first time this season

[andy]

Nottingham forest have rather ridiculously sacked Sean dyche and are now looking for their fourth permanent manager of the season!

Should never have sacked Nuno. I called it daft from the start.

[Durhamfootman]

Aye, the culling season is in full swing

the Glorious 12th?

[Gingerfinch]

I've never been a big fan of Dyche. Just a poor man's Sam Allardyce!

[andy]

But you can't argue with the fact he is right man for a relegation fight? They've only lost 1 in last 6...who do they think is better for this situation??? Rumours saying victor Pereira which is a huge gamble if true

Yeah I would have kept him on
