YOU JUST COULN'T MAKE THIS UP
Is Paolo Di Canio set for a return to English football? He might well be...
Press Association Sport are reporting that the former Swindon and Sunderland manager has contacted Championship side Rotherham about their vacant managerial position.
Perhaps Paolo just wants to work with the club's honorary presidents: The Chuckle Brothers?

DIDN'T I KNOW A GROUP CALLED "FLEETWOOD SACK" IN MY YOUTH?

NOW HERE'S A SUPRISE.........NOT!
Dick Advocaat has resigned as Sunderland boss, with the team yet to win in the Premier League this season.
The 68-year-old Dutchman was appointed in March, when the Black Cats were one point above the relegation zone.
He guided them to safety and was due to leave the club in the summer, only to sign a new one-year contract.
However, Saturday's draw with West Ham left Sunderland without a win in their first eight league matches and looking for a sixth manager in four years.

ANYONE WANT A JOB AT LEEDS?
Leeds United chairman Massimo Cellino has confirmed Steve Evans will replace sacked head coach Uwe Rosler.
The Italian told BBC Radio Leeds that former Rotherham boss Evans, who took training at the Championship club's Thorp Arch training ground on Monday, will sign a rolling contract.

The reason he should be banned is being dumb enough to try to avoid the tax!
