That ringing you hear isn't Big Sam's phone, but this man's music:

Knew it was Pardew dancing before I even clicked the spoiler.

Obviously still clicked it.

If he’s not going to be sacked I hope they lose. If he’s going to be sacked I hope they win.

Niko Kovac is testing how patient the board are going to be with him. Loss at Hertha Berlin, draw at home vs. Ajax, and now a 0-3 loss at home in the league which is pretty much unheard of. First time they’ve lost consecutive matches in the league in 4 years.

And Real Madrid haven’t scored in 4 matches.

Twilight Zone stuff.

Kovac always seemed like the manager they could get and not the manager they wanted.

The chairman is looking at the Jupp Heycknes Batphone on his desk and pondering.

It's strange; it seemed like Nagelsmann was destined to take over there, and then they decided to roll with ex Bayern player Kovac. Then Nagelsmann agreed to take over at Leipzig next year. It was clear Lucien Favre wanted to come back to the Bundesliga, but then he ended up at Dortmund. Tuchel was available, and now he's at PSG. Ancelotti got a year and a half, I'm sure they be patient with Kovac. If not, maybe they'll bring in the "special one" once he gets thrown over the top rope at United.

The good news for Bayern is that xgoals is not fond of Hertha, Gladbach, while talented, is coached by Dieter Heckling (basically the David Moyes of the Bundesliga) and Bremen hasn't played anyone particularly good yet. The bad news is that Dormund and Leipzig are legit and I believe Schalke and Hoffenheim will eventually pull themselves together.

It still feels as if it'll be Nagelsmann's spot within the next...three to four years? Perhaps at the end of his Leipzig contract, I guess. I could be wrong, but weren't there reports that Nagelsmann wanted more time before taking the Bayern job? Or he didn't feel he was ready or something?

If not, maybe they'll bring in the "special one" once he gets thrown over the top rope at United.

I'd put considerable money on that not happening.

Talk of the town right now is formerly lauded manager Leonardo Jardim is set to be sacked at Monaco, and replaced with Thierry Henry.

That’s disappointing, was hoping the rumor of Henry and Terry management duo at Villa was true.

Wenger'a name is in there as well but really hope this turns out well because one of the reason Monaco are struggling so badly is because they are constantly selling their first team players every year. It's a shame because I always liked the club and don't want to see them get relegated again.

If reports are to be believed, it might even be a mutual agreement. Him admitting he's done what he can and is ready to go, them agreeing that its time for a change.

I could actually see it being mutual, even in the sense of them telling him they're not sure if things are working out and he was like yeah I'm ready to go—you've left me with nothing here, haha.
