O'Neil heading to Ipswich

Gary O'Neil is set to leave Strasbourg and take over as Ipswich head coach (6). The former Manchester United midfielder returns to England management with the Championship club. The Guardian broke the story Saturday.

Fan-reaktioner

Arsenal fans are torn on the Saka news, relief he'll get rest, frustration he keeps picking up knocks. The thread also lit up with concern over Declan Rice's workload, with one podcast noting he has played roughly 5,000 minutes this season, the equivalent of 55 full matches.
