It’s not like someone like Sterling not wanting to travel because he’s worried about the crowd making jungle noises. The countries are at war.
Aside from football some good might come of it if it makes people more aware of the situation between the countries.

Geographically I'm not sure, but they're members of UEFA.

Yeah Monthe definitely stood out. I was sort of expecting a very well-organised team that was a bit reliant on Norwood going forward. But yesterday the defensive organisation was no better than decent IMO, it was just that the defenders were so good that they could handle being exposed fairly often.

I'm not defending UEFA. I was just pointing out that it's not part of the racism in football that's been in the news. Even the Arsenal manager had no idea what was going on. This might raise a greater awareness, not just about arranging football matches.

Not sure if Sir Alex is genuinely "hurt" by this, but as he previously suggested David Moyes it's not too surprising.

GIMH lot may lose their manager. Mellon odds on favourite for Swansea job.

Plymouth were supposed to be appointing Ryan Lowe from Bury, but the rumour is he’s hanging on for Tranmere.

Norwood's on Fire
Perhaps not and I hope not, but he did play for them and has a serious amount of promotions under his belt.
His best bet is clearly staying where he is, and I think that’s what shall happen anyhow
Also worth noting that Danny Cowley is a name that seems to be a strong favourite, I would argue Mellon’s record stacks up more. West Brom fans are notably picky on style too so Mellon would be a better pick than Cowley there.

I’d have said Cowley has the better record, mostly because I’d rate promotions as champions with very impressive points totals a fair bit higher than going through the play-offs.
Either would seem odd to me- it’s not far off a top PL team appointing a successful League One manager. But West Brom have one of the worst records of managerial appointments in the whole pyramid, so by their standards it wouldn’t be so bad.

Norwood's on Fire
That’s fair and I’m biased but a couple of points for consideration
Firstly, when Mellon came in in 16-17 we were four points behind Lincoln, and that’s how we finished. So he matched him.
Secondly, obviously automatic promotion is more impressive than the play-offs, but Lincoln fell short in the play-offs last season. So going back to back stands up against that IMO.
However it is splitting hairs. Both excellent managers IMO, nice to actually be having this discussion. Not known a manager of ours to be coveted before tbh.
