It is something that's clearly happened, whether it's a disagreement or he feels his job is under pressure and he doesn't feel it should be because of the two trophies he's won and the points he's picked up. I don't feel like he's a manager that will backtrack. He has got a passion about him and a drive about him. Whether he has heard things, like the club might want him out and he's been proactive to go on the front foot, you don't know why

It is very easy to root for Wilfried Nancy. A likable, passionate individual whose career has taken him from unheralded player to the forefront of a club the size of Celtic should be worthy of high praise. It also feels only two games into the Frenchman's tenure in Glasgow that he requires all the support he can get. Nancy will receive that backing from the stands.

I don't think he quite knows what he's walked into.

With all eyes falling on the San Siro in midweek, Inter Milan will welcome Liverpool to Italy for what is a blockbuster Champions League showdown on Tuesday night. In the midst of what has become an infamous crisis and with the pressure on Arne Slot's shoulders now firmly at a boiling point, Liverpool have continued to break a string of unwanted records and they look set for what will be another heavyweight challenge here.

"I know sometimes people say this for effect, but we owe the travelling supporters an apology for the first 45 minutes," Kettlewell told BBC Scotland following the 3-1 defeat. "People pay their hard-earned cash to come and follow their football club, and the absolute minimum they should see is a real desire to come out on top in your individual battles."

We're only a week or so away from when I was thinking the manager was under pressure, by the way, so we've got to be really careful here, Gary Neville said on his Sky Sports podcast. We could be there again in a couple of weeks, it's that type of season, that type of feeling. That's never happened with Amorim Gary Neville

Pressure is mounting on Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Vitor Pereira, with fresh reports suggesting his position could soon become untenable. After a difficult run of results and growing concern over performances, pundits have claimed it is inevitable that Wolves will make a change in the dugout if momentum does not shift quickly. For a club with Premier League survival and stability at stake, the next few weeks could be decisive for Pereira's future and the direction of the season.

"He's like a mentor of mine. He's like a dad sometimes. He's like a coach sometimes. He puts on a lot of hats when it comes to me," Roberts said. "I love him. He knows I love him. We're in this thing together. "You know, playing 162, especially with this group having so many talented guys, it's hard. It's hard to manage all of the personalities, especially when guys are underperforming."

Money was spent in the summer transfer window. He made certain demands, which were met by the Arsenal board. If Arsenal don't win the championship, I think there will definitely be a change on the bench. It's not going to be easy because you have Liverpool, you have Man City who are there, Chelsea won't be far behind. But I think Arsenal holds the cards and have the players to win the title.

The room is named after Ted Drake, the author of Chelsea's first title, and features images of a host of club legends: a beaming Carlo Ancelotti, one of Antonio Conte kissing the Premier League trophy and, as Enzo Maresca no doubt noted as he arrived to preview his young side's Champions League tie with Benfica, three photographs of the manager whose latest return to west London conjures wistful memories of the days when Chelsea were the most feared team in England.
