This seems like it would be a very knee-jerk reaction to Stephen Kenny doing badly.

To go from a manager who says he hopes his legacy is putting in place a structure and pathway that can bring youth through to Steve Bruce feels like a massive about-turn.

They'd be appointing him because of his name, not because he'd have a plan to turn results around.

For real, though, I wonder what this job would actually entail. I imagine it'd be glorified work experience because Bromley are doing well and Andy Woodman seems a very good manager himself, but I guess it could include some analysis work and the like.

Edit: I only buy the game every 2 years and this year was supposed to be a dead year. Alas the marketing has worked and I will buy the game lol.

They seem to be going big on marketing this year - there's been a few FM stories on the BBC website in the last week or so. Wonder if they're having to pull out the stops after Miles basically admitted this year's game wasn't going to be anything groundbreaking as they're more focused on next year.

The sooner England loses Maguire, Hender$audi, and, hopefully, Southgate, the better.

I don't feel entirely comfortable lumping Maguire and Henderson into the same bracket here. There's obviously a footballing argument to be made about Maguire not being selected, and there's also now a footballing argument to be made about Henderson due to how poor quality the Saudi league is, but I'd like to think fans booing Henderson were doing that more on a moral level due to his blatant hypocrisy.

I just feel like talking about a player who should be dropped for footballing reasons and, in the same breath, a player who has done something many morally disagree with, to the point he has been disowned by certain sections of the fanbase, actually lessens the overall point a bit. As it allows Maguire and Southgate to come out with the absolute nonsense they have and talk about footballing reasons for why Henderson should be in the squad.
