Forest Green Rovers 1-1 Tranmere (1-2 agg): Second leg draw good enough for Micky Mellon’s side to set up League Two playoff final clash with Newport
Tranmere Rovers did enough to get past Forest Green Rovers in the League Two playoff semi-final.The second leg finished 1-1 and saw Micky Mellon’s side book their place at Wembley, thanks to an aggregate win, where they will face Newport County later this month.Getty2Tranmere had started the better at The New Lawn and chalked up the first shot of the game when Liam Ridehalgh tried his luck from outside the area but it was easily gathered by Forest Green keeper Lewis Ward.The hosts soon got into their stride and opened the scoring when Junior Mondal floated a free-kick into the area which was met by Mills and his header ended up in the back of the net.With the tricky Reece Brown causing problems for the visitors, Forest Green pushed for a second to give them the aggregate lead but struggled to find a way past impressive defender Manny Monthe.Getty2At the other end, Banks fired a low effort at Ward before the visitors levelled on the night through a well-worked effort.David Perkins sent a cross to the far side of the area where Kieron Morris was on hand to head down for star striker Norwood to crash a volley into the bottom corner.The Gloucestershire side looked to hit back before the break but a Dayle Grubb snap shot was directed straight at the keeper while Ridehalgh pulled off a vital defensive header to deny Christian Doidge just before the break.Forest Green boss Mark Cooper made a change at the break, replacing Mondal with George Williams as his side looked for the goal that would take the tie to extra time. But it was the visitors who almost added to the scoreline two minutes after the restart when a deft Morris free-kick was only just missed by Sid Nelson six yards out.Williams forced Scott Davies into a save at his near post and Doidge just missed out again when Liam Shephard’s cross was gathered by the keeper.Winchester also fizzed a shot low past the upright as Forest Green looked for their all-important second goal, but that was to prove his final input as he picked up a second yellow after 67 minutes for a foul on Norwood and, just like at Prenton Park, Cooper’s side were reduced to 10 men.There was one last effort from the home side two minutes from the end but Williams’ free-kick into the area was scuffed wide of the target by Mills.

Manchester United fans expect Anthony Martial and David de Gea to sign new contracts now that Jose Mourinho has been sacked
Manchester United supporters believe something good could come out of the club’s decision to sack manager Jose Mourinho.Mourinho, the Portuguese, was dismissed from his position on Tuesday morning, with a club statement confirming a caretaker boss will be installed at Old Trafford until the end of the season.2Mourinho leaves United with the club 19 points behind first place Liverpool in the Premier League table, and with an 11-point gap already formed to the top four.There is a real feeling Mourinho had to leave Old Trafford given the fractious relationship which has formed between him and his squad over the past couple of months.Key issues have arisen between Mourinho and Paul Pogba, the midfielder, and the latter was blasted by fans for a ‘disrespectful’ tweet sent out less than an hour after United confirmed the sacking. Elsewhere, a number of United’s players have been refusing to sign new contracts, including the likes of Anthony Martial, the forward, and goalkeeper David de Gea.The club recently triggered one-year extensions on the pair, ensuring they remain at Old Trafford until at least next summer, with their deals previously due to expire at the end of this season.

Jose Mourinho SACKED

Manchester United released a statement on Tuesday morning to confirm Mourinho has left his position as manager of the Old Trafford club. The statement read:“Manchester United announces that manager Jose Mourinho has left the club with immediate effect.“The club would like to thank Jose for his work during his time at Manchester United and to wish him success in the future.“A new caretaker manager will be appointed until the end of the current season, while the club conducts a thorough recruitment process for a new, full-time manager.”De Gea has been unwilling to commit his future to United due to their failure to challenge for major honours, while Martial is believed to have fallen out with Mourinho over the past year.However, United supporters have seen a positive that could come out of Mourinho’s departure – De Gea and Martial might finally extend their contracts.2Various fans on Twitter backed the pair to sign new deals now that Mourinho has been sacked, with one supporter even claiming they could put pen to paper before the end of the week!

Brendan Rodgers to Leicester: Former Celtic manager Gordon Strachan rules out Hoops return
Gordon Strachan will not return to Celtic to replace Brendan Rodgers as the club’s manager, he has revealed.Rodgers, the Northern Irishman, looks set to depart Celtic Park after two-and-a-half years as he is in talks with Leicester over becoming their new boss.2Claude Puel was sacked by the Foxes on Sunday following a 4-1 defeat by Crystal Palace and Rodgers is believed to have been the club’s No.1 target to succeed the Frenchman.Former Swansea and Liverpool boss Rodgers has previously spoken about his desire to return to the Premier League, and Celtic have given him permission to talk with the Foxes over a move to the King Power Stadium.Celtic are expected to appoint Neil Lennon as their manager until the end of the season with a view to assessing potential permanent managers throughout the summer.Along with Lennon, other favourites for the position include Steve Clarke, David Moyes and Mikel Arteta – but there will be no Celtic Park return for Strachan, who won six trophies during his four-year spell with the Hoops in the 2000s.Asked if he would want to return to Celtic Park, Strachan told https://news.paddypower.com: “Me? No, no, no, no. “If youve had such a good time at a club, like I did at Celtic, I dont think I could re-trace my steps. Unless thats the only place youve felt alive and its your club. Others have done it, but Im onto different things now.“And I think I wouldve got a whisper of it, as I talk to Peter [Lawwell, chief executive] and Dermot [Desmond, director] quite often. It might have come up. But they only talk to me about golf.”Strachan does believe there will be a ‘mad rush’ of people applying for the Celtic job now that Rodgers is set to leave, and the onus is on the club’s hierarchy to make the correct appointment.“Its a blow to the club,” Strachan added, “but theyve lost managers before and dealt with it. Therell be a mad rush around the world now, of people wanting to apply to work at Celtic.2“The people behind the scenes at the club have seen it all before. Theyre so good at their job, its like working with chess players. They can see problems coming, theyll have prepared for this they wouldve known it was coming.“Therell be a lot of great managers they talk to. Theyve hired people before with links to the club, but also without links my only link to Celtic was getting booed every time I played there with Aberdeen.“The next appointment will say a lot about how Celtic see themselves. Do they keep playing the same way that Brendan had them? Which might be a good idea. They have the means to buy players better than the rest of the division, so its a great job.”

Tottenham should wait until NEXT SEASON to move into their new stadium, says Sam Allardyce
Sam Allardyce has warned Tottenham their season could be derailed by their new stadium move, and has urged the club to stick out the rest of the campaign at Wembley.Spurs have encountered more delays in the opening of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and now expect to move in in February.3But Allardyce says it would be a bad move if the club played in the newly-built home ground this term.Tottenham currently sit third in the Premier League table and this week sealed their place in the Champions League last 16.But Big Sam has warned Spurs they could experience similar problems to when they first moved into Wembley, saying they may struggle to get used to their new surroundings which may then affect their performances on the pitch.Speaking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, the former England manager said: If I was Mauricio, and Im not, I would say to [chairman] Daniel Levy: I do not want to move from Wembley until next season.3You walk straight into another new stadium, and while it’s on the same piece of land its all brand new, so the familiarity is missing.Spurs suffered badly when they started playing at Wembley, but now theyve come to terms with it and are playing much better.If they go back to Tottenham they face the same problem with the surroundings again and they could well suffer heavily just because of that.3I think Mauricio has to be strong and say to Daniel Levy: I want to stay at Wembley. The team is going well and you didnt buy me any players in the summer, so please allow me to.Personally I think its a bad move.Any club that has moved into a new stadium, West Ham moving into the London Stadium had the same problems, Bolton had the same problems when they moved into the Reebok.Its a big decision in terms of the players.

"Poch should tell Levy that he wants to stay at Wembley for the season." Sam Allardyce says it would be a "bad move" if #THFC played at their new stadium this season.Do you agree? pic.twitter.com/CCOyrUcFlk— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) December 13, 2018

With dwindling attendances, it seems fans are likely to disagree with Allardyce’s opinion and Danny Rose has already said he and his team-mates are ‘itching’ to get into the new ground.“Were disappointed its taken longer than expected but we know everybodys putting in the hours to make sure the stadiums as good as possible,” he said.Its not that much longer now, so hopefully over the next couple of months were going to be in there and we all sympathise with the fans.We just have to stick together now. We know its not going to be too much longer.The [Wembley] atmospheres a bit flat. Obviously I sympathise with the fans, travelling a bit further away to come.”
