Terrible news for any distressed Championship or PL clubs as Alan Pardew is rumored to be taking over ADO Den Haag in the Dutch Eredivisie

He is the type of manager to take his team on a tour of the red light district for banter. Probably try it on with one to show his manliness

Great move if true 

He needs control over transfers though 

Is it though? Ancelotti has for 20 years moved into clubs that are ready made. Can't remember him building anything recently 

His defensive game is atrocious for an Italian especially with donkeys Everton have in defence. Everton will be entertaining

In terms of giving the players a boost and pulling away from the bottom end of the table? Yep

In terms of showing the fans that all is OK with the owners ambition and that they're still a big club? Definitely yes

For getting them back where they belong (or at least think they belong - top 7)? Not so sure

They're a top 10 team not performing, he'll turn them around quite quickly and they'll finish 9th - 11th this year, 8th - 10th next couple of years

Nigel Pearson - built the Leicester league winning team and making Watford look like Barcelona!

Anyone who disagrees is an ostrich! ;) 

Like Espanyol perhaps :D

Watch them hire Pochettino

It will be Moyes.

West Ham still have to play away both Manchester clubs, Leicester, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs. Sheffield United will also be a grudge match given the history in 2007.

Home form will decide things for them. Pulis or Big Sam (again) would've actually have made sense as they always build strong home records at whichever club they take over.

I hope Sheffield absolutely crush them.

Sport don't half make up shit do they :D 

Put this one under things that will never happen:

Henry can be the cover in case Valverde leaves

The continuity of Ernesto Valverde  seems like a taboo subject within FC Barcelona. Nobody dares to predict the future of the Basque because their continuity is subject to their own will and the results of the team.

a new name has appeared on the table that many of the actors like in the final decision. This is Thierry Henry, a former Barcelona player for three seasons and already beginning to treasure some experience on the benches.

Other than this interest, Henry has just signed with Impact Montreal for two seasons plus an optional one. He has had experience as an assistant to Bob Martínez in the Belgian national team (he finished third in Russia'28) and with Monaco, where he was dismissed after 19 games. Obviously, it is not a top technician but Barça has never specialized in signing the Klopp on duty. Guardiola was signed after a year of experience in the subsidiary and Luis Enrique in the subsidiary, Celta and Roma. His departure from Impact Toronto is not expected to be excessively complex if Barça knocks on his door.

There are many coincidences that lead to Henry's path: He is a person who maintains an excellent relationship with technical secretary  Éric Abidal , with whom he shared costumes in Barcelona and in the national team; He also gets along with several of the heavyweights of the costumes with which he coincided as is the case of  Messi, Busquets and Piqué  (protagonists all of the sextete). In the locker room he also has  other 'partners'  with whom he has points in common and is the wide  colony of French players  who now populate the Barca wardrobe.

Henry is valued within the entity that is  an excellent ambassador of the club  (“If you like football, you like Barcelona”) and the style of play, which was abducted by Pep Guardiola and that assimilated very well the concepts and the DNA ("I learned to play football at age 30"). Bartomeu also has a feeling  with the Frenchman, whom he has received even in the box of the Camp Nou with Robert Martínez when they both shared the bench in the Dutch team. Bartomeu told him that "Barça will always be your home" when Henry hung up his boots.

Joey Barton has kicked out a player at Fleetwood for undisclosed reasons but said he crossed the line. 

For a man that assaulted a number of people, what is Joey version of crossing the line 🤔
