Manchester United are apparently going cold on the idea of appointing Eddie Howe as a potential replacement for Michael Carrick.

This is from The Independent.

I'm not sure how much this is informed or whether it's guesswork.

It certainly seems to be true that Sting has gone out with a tale of having to sack Michael Carrick even though a defeat tomorrow against Aston Villa and the pitch changes again.

OK, so Governor Newsom isn't the only one widely thought to have presidential ambitions for 2028.

What did I say before? As I mentioned, there's lots of buzz tonight that Secretary of State Marco Rubio may be moving closer to making his own run for the White House because there are new reports from both the independent Bloomberg today that say that Rubio is considering resigning from the Trump administration soon in order to prepare for a 2028 presidential bid.

According to The Independent, sources say that Rubio could be motivated to step down from the State Department to distance himself from President Trump and any controversial policies like the Iran war, all in the wake of the GOP's midterm losses.

And Bloomberg is also reporting that Rubio has even spoken to White House officials about stepping down.

But let's get to the facts of this.

But the less he says, the more the rumors fly.

The Independent, citing several anonymous sources, says that Rubio is very likely to resign as Secretary of State to prepare for the 2028 presidential election.

There are even sources saying that it's very likely four or five people in the cabinet are going to jump ship.

However, the State Department has responded saying this is completely baseless fake news.

from the history of Bordeaux to identifying the best supermarket wines.

We've done the ones that they won't be able to approach, like Unai Emery.

But one name that Miguel Delaney and the Independent have said that could be of interest to United is one that United fans, in my opinion, should be happy about.

Sebastian Honest, the head coach of Stuttgart, has been linked and is highly regarded at Manchester United.

Stuttgart finished fourth in the Bundesliga last season but are 11th this term now I can say as a Liverpool fan he was somebody that our fan base were at least open to the idea of coming in to take the Liverpool job I haven't really kept track of Stuttgart this season but the brand of football that Honest plays is one that I firmly believe Manchester United fans would be happy with also from the England perspective I'm sure you guys are aware of this but the Bellingham brothers are will both be in the England camp as Joe Bellingham has been called up.

Let's get into the show.

So there was an article today in The Independent which really did catch my eye.

And I want to just go through it.

So basically what it's saying is, and it's as terrifying as it is anything else.

Are you going to talk about Carrick saying when you watch the Roma game back, the first half was actually wasn't that bad? Shall I do that now then before I talk about the other thing? No, I'll come back to that.

So this is basically the core of the article in The Independent today by Miguel Delaney.

Sources say no one at the club has been willing to make a definitive call on Carrick, partly because they have little idea of a clear replacement.

There is a growing sense he could survive the international break even if he loses to Villa on Sunday.

I had never even heard of this before.

This was from The Independent.

Some people suffer from sad nipple syndrome.

Have you ever heard of it? Sad nipple syndrome.

So I have to say, I think the closest Cheesecake Factory to my hometown in Phoenix, where I might have been... is in Phoenix area, but I haven't actually been to one.

But the DC one, where I live now, I live in Washington, DC, I wanted to note specifically because The Independent, which has gotten on the wrong side of Donald Trump lately and been banned from the press pool and so forth, reported on election night that White House staffers had ordered Cheesecake Factory for the viewing party at the White House.

And I can't help but think that it was just the Cheesecake Factory that's across the street from the White House on 15th.

So I'm going to claim that one as the current hometown Cheesecake Factory.
