Shall we have a look at what's going on elsewhere? There's been a lot of coverage of the Bundesliga title race, but most of it has focussed on Harry Kane. Kane's transfer to Bayern has actually been a success, with him scoring over 30 goals in his debut season there. Unfortunately for him and Bayern, they're faced with a seemingly unstoppable title rival in the form of a Bayer Leverkusen side that is still unbeaten and, with seven games to go, already has more points than Bayern won in the whole of last season. Where Bayern often rely on the individual talent of the likes of Kane and Musiala, Xavi Alonso has turned Leverkusen into a well-drilled unit that is now just…

Is Jose Mourinho in Hot Water? The Fenerbahce Boss spoke of being Lied to during a Post Match Interview. Where he Panned Turkish Match officials and Their VAR.

That's the question PON members. Everyone will have their own opinions on what makes a good Head Coach come Team Manager. For my example of a good Team Coach/Team Manager, you can't go any further than Jimmy Sirrel who guided Notts from the fourth tier to the first tier, building multiple teams to get the team promoted through the leagues. Another would be Neil Warnock, & recently, Mark Robins is the another one who's Managed a team from the 4th tier to the 2nd tier & nearly made it to the 1st Those three would be my idea of what is good. Managing at all four levels & building a team to get promoted to each level. Thoughts?

Sad news from Scotland. Inverness Caledonian Thistle have been deducted 15 points after going into adminstration.

Will this lead to the likes of Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd & Arsenal doing a similar thing & play some of their games in Cities across the World? I'm sure that supporters wouldn't like this development. Trouble is, the loyal supporter is the last group that the top clubs would think about when there's money to be made. Thought's?
