  1. Ole Gunnar Solksjaer is smarter than that. He is loved at Man U and will wait to see what SAF does. That’s his dream job to be sure. They practically begged him to take the Molde job to get him experience. He didn’t want to leave the reserves but said if he was ever to have a chance to be the Number One ate Man U he had to do it. Of course I’m paraphrasing from multiple articles.

  2. I listened to TalkSport last night talk all about how the Fenway Sports Group did the same revamp to Fenway they have planned for Anfield. Only one problem: the decision to remodel Fenway instead of a new stadium was made BEFORE John Henry took control. The book “Field of Schemes” details how the previous plans for massive state-funded Red Sox Stadium fell through thanks to the efforts of a group of Fenway neighborhood locals who spearheaded the efforts to make Fenway on the national register of historic locations and also to join up with those who oppose the state and local governments giving hundreds of millions of tax dollars to a private companies sports team.

  4. While sometimes a idiot, Cole is very good at LB and probably the best in England let alone Europe. I see Man United jumping all over him.
