⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[ShowOff]

It was a very wrong decision that the owner of Nottingham Forest to sack a good manager that took the team to a very good position and he was sacked for not qualifying the team to the champions League this season, now the coach is no longer in the team but Forest is losing games so he the beginning of the season all the owner of the club should be blamed for making such wrong decision. Teams get issues likewise managers but when such things happen there should be a good way to settle issues and to sack managers in every little thing will affect the performance of the team.

A managerial change always carries risks, and Nottingham Forest management is now bearing the consequences of their hasty decision to sack Nuno Espirito Santo. Ange Postecoglou is actually a good manager, but he seems to have failed to meet expectations since taking over his new role. With Nottingham Forest performance continuing to decline, management is forced to prepare again to appoint a new manager.

However, a change in management does not necessarily bring an instant impact that can lift Nottingham Forest out of their slump. There has been no official statement yet on whether Ange Postecoglou will be dismissed soon, but the fact remains that he has failed to deliver a victory in seven consecutive matches.

First Sean Dyche and now they say Benítez is a candidate for Forest job. Ange Postecoglou is absolutely horrible now that's clear. But Benítez hasn't been managing a team for 1.5 years and I'm not sure whether he would like to come back. 

If you're reading this news, Dyche and Benitez were not only the candidates. Marinakis has also mention their former manager steve coopen to be another candidate too. However, i'd prefer to see Dyche back to the NFFC.

I like his football, and i believe it can fit to the NFFC quite well. I hope Marinakis won't make another bad decision again by sign the wrong person for the job.

That's enough to see the decision to replace Nune with Ange as one of Marinakis's biggest mistake. Just bring Dyche asap to solve the problems.

All the names you listed I think can come to Nottingham Forest and help return the team to winning ways again but I don't think there's any of them that'll be more effective and bring instant result than Rafael Benitez. The former Liverpool and Chelsea manager is well experienced and knows how the English Premier League works which is why I strongly believe that use his football knowledge to help the club become competitive again.  In his absence, then I think the club should go for Sean Dyche.

Rafael Benitez is an experienced manager in the Premier League, so I think he will help improve the team's performance. But don't be mistaken, the coach is not the only reason why a team is able to compete well, I mean the squad also has a real influence on its good form of one team. An experienced and accomplished manager backed by a good squad depth is a good combination, but I don't see Nottingham playing for the title, but they playing to stay in the Premier League.

But that's exactly what happened with the Manchester United squad: they kept the manager but eventually fired him. If they did it now, it might have been better, as it was still early in the season and the new manager had time to make changes. However, Manchester United's owners argued otherwise, saying they still trusted Amorim. Naturally, many were disappointed with the decision.

Although Xavi has expressed his desire to coach Manchester United, Manchester United management is reluctant to fire Amorim. Considering Xavi Hernandez's impressive track record as a Barcelona manager, hiring him would have been a positive move, but they didn't. If Manchester United doesn't qualify for the Champions League this season, I suspect Amorim will be sacked.

Back when Ten Hag was still the coach, Man United gave him a long time to implement strategies and tactics, as well as various plans, to the point of spending a lot of money, and ultimately failed. Yes, because the source of the problems at Man United is not only with the coach but also with the management, it's complete.

Xavi: Yeah, there are indeed several rumors linking him to joining Man United, at least as an Interim coach. Xavi is rumored to be interested in joining Man United because they naturally have a good squad, but so far they haven't been able to optimize it. But, well, we need to see the exact news about this.

I come with a good news for Manchester United fans. it most likely Glazers are interesting to sell all of his stages before 2027 in order to maximise their profit. I know it needs more clarrification, but will be so happy if it's happening. Glazers only used MU as cash printing asset, and they have to go.

It will be so good to see saudi or qatar consortium to take MU's majority stake from Glazer. Enough is enough to see Glazer is always sucking club's liquidity.

The only best way to save MU is that selling them to the new and potential investors.

It would be a good thing to see the Glazers selling the club because we haven't seen anything productive coming from the club and it has been the fans and the players that have been suffering from this madness and equally the managers, they only come in as a better coach but the way Manchester United will make the coach look like he's not good will be very fast, they have succeeded in making good coaches look small like amateurs and players who joined the club.
Again, my fear is...if the club is sold out to any of these guys who are interested can it be the change we have been hoping to see at the club? Will it change the club for good? Because it will be bad if after this club is sold to whoever wants it and they are still having the same problem or even getting worse, it won't be nice at all then we have to say the Glazers ain't the problem but something much bigger as the problem.

If they have not yet sold their club, how can we know the outcome? Whether it's good or bad, it's still worthy to try. Glazer has been there for decades, and it's time for them to leave. If they're not willing to take the risk, they will always be stuck in the same place.

Sometimes it can be a painful decision, but this is a must for the better future. Just look at the club like City who got the right owner. They made lots of progress in matter of years. If City can, why MU can't?

It can always be that the Glazers ain't the problem but there's still nothing bad in trying that's if they'll sell. Like I asked if they sell the club and they're still getting the same result who are we going to blame because this is a very serious issue that have to do with the wellbeing of the club so the decision they make at this point need to be the right one, they need to take one shot at it and it has to be right or else somebody will regret it. It doesn't matter if the Glazers have stayed for more than a decade all they need to do is get to the root of this sluggish display from the club.
If you picture City that way and compare them to Man UTD then you're wrong, if it worked out well for Man City doesn't mean it will work for the Red Devils if they get a new owner, change is good but what kind are we talking about for UTD? Change of ownership or something more?

I confess that I cannot understand how Zinade intends to become coach of the French national team, given that he has been out of action for many years without coaching any team. A lot has changed since the last time he was coach of Real Madrid. Today, if he were to coach a team again, he would not be in the same demand as when he left Real Madrid. I highly doubt that many big clubs will be chasing him now.

You know, Zidane will be always a favorite coach whether he manages a team or not. It is strange if you deny his achievement during his management in Real Madrid at that time. He has achieved something that most coaches can't achieve. Winning the UCL trophy 3 seasons in a row is something sensational for a coach. And Zidane also won many other trophies when he was a manager/coach of Real Madrid. So, it is quite no sense if you doubt his capability as a coach. Even if he didn't manage any team for few years, he must always update information in football. So, he must be able to adapt anything if he manages a team anymore. I believe there will be many big teams to offer him if he says to manage a team again in the near future.

He wasted a good opportunity. If he had left Real Madrid for another great team, and with that great team he had managed to win the league and the European Champions League, I believe the French Federation would have chosen him as the national coach of France. Unfortunately, it may now be too late for him.

There is no guarantee that French Federation will decide him to manage France national team although he manages another team and won many trophies again. I think we must respect his decision to stop managing any team because he has certain reasons. No one can blame him as it is his own decision, he stops his career because of his family reason.

I think Rafael Benítez is indeed a better fit, as he is very experienced in the Premier League. However, I still think it will be very difficult for Rafael Benitez to immediately improve Nottingham Forest performance in a short period of time, since, as usual, every new manager needs time to adapt. In my opinion, Ange Postecoglou has already failed to meet expectations, and fans are now demanding that the management sack him as soon as possible.

Close to 80% of Manchester United problem have been about the Glazers, since their arrival at the club the club has been in declined let’s be honest with ourselves, people will say what if they go and the club doesn’t get better and I say let them go first and we’ll see the result after, there have been multiple clubs with similar issues before and this clubs right after getting a new owner they are right at the top. A clear example is the gradual change of Newcastle since they got a new owner, they have played in two champions league matches in possible of three.

Personally I think the Glazers selling the club will give the club a new look and structure from the top, let’s be honest with ourselves the structural improvement that this club has seen since Sir Ratcliffe bought 25% stake says a lot about how it has been poorly run in the past. For me if the Glazers decides to sell completely today it should be to an Arab who is willing because it is only them that can rebuild a club like Manchester United with their finance, hopefully Sheikh Jasim will be back for his dream club again

You are right but we can't be too sure if they are the major problem, like I said, it worked for other clubs doesn't mean it will work for the Red Devils because every club have a different way of handling such pressure and the rebuilding of the club too. Let's say Manchester United now I have a new owner and they are still like a club with the old owner, how are they going to feel? For me they should mind the kind of move they'll make before the club becomes one of those clubs that are struggling to leave the relegation zone.
If the Glazers are selling they shouldn't have any shares let us know if they are the bad eggs that have been making the club look the way it has been and I feel if it's any of the Abrab men who will buy the club then I see so much changes but not sure if it will affect the way the players thinks or display on the field of play, we consider that too. The problem is for the players to be on their toes in case the ownership changes hand.

Experience-wise, Rafael Benítez may be a much better fit than Ange Postecoglou, but will this be effective as usually teams that experience a dip in form in the Premier League find it difficult to recover unless they have a number of experienced players. Nottingham Forest under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou has indeed experienced a decline because last season we saw that the performance of the Nottingham Forest players was very good and it is natural that the fans demanded that the Nottingham Forest management sack him.

even though Real Madrid are better than Barcelona, that doesn't mean they'll be easy to win.

How is Real Madrid better than Barcelona? In what aspect are you saying they are better than Barcelona if I may ask? Last season Real Madrid couldn't get a win against Barcelona, this season Barcelona and Real Madrid have both lost a game in La liga. To me Real Madrid and Barcelona are in the same category this season. The el classico will always be exciting to watch although Real Madrid would want to fight back this season to make sure they don't get a repeat of what happened last season in those el classico matches were they lost heavily.

Exactly Real Madrid and Barcelona are of the same category this season the only point difference between both team is 2 and because of these we can't say that one is more inform than the other. El clasico game will always be exciting to watch even though it won't be as of the days of cristiano Ronaldo and Messi but there will be some exciting moment, Barcelona will fight to win so they can go up the table while Real Madrid will be determine to play harder too just to stick at the top of the Laliga table.

Nottingham Forest performed exceptionally well last year. They had a much better season than expected. This year, they've managed only one win in seven matches, which is a major problem for them. A change of manager could potentially be a positive for the team. That's why I support this change. They're currently one of the bottom teams in the Premier League. After last year, no one expected this result. At least mid-table, not in this position, would be acceptable.

Nottingham have made some changes, but they haven't been so critical that their performance has deteriorated significantly. Postecoglou's style and tactics are very different from Espiritu's, and I think the reason lies there. Benitez is often called upon when things need fixing, but I think every coach understands how difficult it is to take over a team that needs saving. Nottingham are just one point above the relegation zone, meaning they'll likely be fighting for survival unless things change soon. By the way, Tottenham was in the same place last season...

Perhaps the most difficult thing is taking over a team that's doing poorly in the league and trying to turn it around. A poor performance means some balance has shifted. Therefore, it's important to understand the team and utilize the players to their full potential. This may be the case for Nottingham Forest as well. Even if Benitez arrives, there's no guarantee he'll turn the team around. For now, they're just trying to avoid relegation in the Premier League at best, they could make it a mid-table team. Nottingham Forest's performance last year was truly impressive.

In recent times, Barcelona has been having the upper hands in the El classico, so I will be expecting them to come into this tie with more confidence, by knowing what's required from them for them to get the desired three points, but on the other hand, real madrid has changed a lot compared to when they last met, so I don't expect xabi Alonso real madrid team to be brush aside easily, I believe that they have what it takes to go toe too toe with this Barcelona team, but it's not going to be an easy game for them.
But if I will be staking my money on this game, I will be going with the option of halftime over 1.5, because I believe that their will be more than one goal in the first half.

In terms of experience, both teams cannot be placed in the same category in this new season yet because Barca is currently at the top of El Clasico, the purpose of my statement is that in every Clasico clash I have seen last season, Los Blancos have accepted defeat to Hansi Flick's tactical and artistic football. So maybe that streak hasn't completely worn off Madrid yet, Because their poor performance against Atletico in this new season has changed the balance, even if they play El Clasico again, they will have their previous statistics visible in front of them and then their mental strength will be depleted.

Even it's true that Real Madrid Football Club is now playing football with potential and the French players have made them even more glamorous, So it seems that if Mbappe can give Los Blancos a good helping hand in this upcoming historic clash, then perhaps this new season's El Clasico matches will be transformed into the most confrontational and enjoyable ones yet.

Jack Wilshere retired from professional football at a really early age. He had a really horrible injury history as well and it also played a big role in finishing his career. 

Now we learn that he is starting his manager career officially... He is 33 by the way. Still very young to be a manager. But who knows, I'm curious about how his journey will be with Luton. Maybe promoting to the Premier League in a few years?

I always knew sacking Nuno Espirito Santos was a huge mistake, and now they’re already trying to sack Postocoglu which was a mistake appointing him, considering the bad performance he had with Tottenham in the Premier League even though he won the UEFA European league, which was not satisfactory to Daniel Levy and that lead them to sacking him, he was never the right man to handle Nothingham Forest, Well I guess they are already looking for a replacement for him and I’m beginning to think that Steven Gerrard is being considered for the job which is why he turned down the chance of managing Rangers.

He is smart to move into a managerial career. Jack Wilshere's cycle of recurring injuries, which started stress fracture in 2011, ended his career prematurely. He now joins the list of players who retired early due to injuries, such as Eddie Howe, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, and Marco van Basten etc. Luton Town F.C. is currently in 11th place in Football League One. We would wait to see his impact of the club.

It will be so good to see saudi or qatar consortium to take MU's majority stake from Glazer. Enough is enough to see Glazer is always sucking club's liquidity.

The only best way to save MU is that selling them to the new and potential investors.

I also come to say that the glazers do not have the best interest of Manchester United at heart. The greatest manager Alex Ferguson saw it better before hand and was able to remove himself from whatever they had in mind.
I have seen the positive expression from fans already. The glazers is the name they want gone but if the new owners deem the ineos capable, they will be partners with them on and off the field. The owners can go but the manager can stay and continue his good works for the club

I don't know if this news is for real amd if it is, I will say that this is the best news that I have come across today because it will be a stepping stone for United to build their team with good players and pick form back. It shows that Glazers are the ones causing the downfall of the club because they lack the proper knowledge on how to tackle the endless poor performance of the team. Qatar and Saudis have the funds to transform the club just as they did to City.

I have always known the Glazers family is the reason why Manchester United haven't been able to play like the Manchester United we knew under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson, because when it comes to signing players from the transfer market, the Glazers family always feel reluctant, and even if they try to sign players, they won't strengthen all the positions needed for Manchester United team to perform well. If it's true that the Glazers family wants to sell Manchester United, I will say it is good news because that is the only way Manchester United's problems will be over.
