If today was 1st of April, I would be 100% convinced that Bayern appointing Vincent Kompany is an April's fool joke. But apparently this is really happening.
I get that he had some success in getting Burnley to the big boys league and he even earned a few EFL Championship Manager of the Month awards in the process, but he's just not there yet in terms of proving he's capable of running a top European club.
Maybe if he was to manage to get Burnley to the middle of the Premier League table we could speculate that he might be naturally great and talented, but his team got relegated after winning only 5 games in the entire season. That's not really something to brag about.
From the brief reading I've done, the media are speculating that Bayern has failed to secure other candidates and might not have had too many other options available. This is the only angle that makes sense to me.
Whoever is going to win the Bundesliga next season, I'm pretty sure it won't be Bayern.

OK, we have a date for the rematch. It will take place just before Christmas, on 21st December:

Usyk almost definitely will not be stripped before 2nd June, but that's not to say the IBF cannot do it after that date.
Given the rematch is scheduled 2 months later than initially indicated, any potential mandatory defense will not take place until around a year from now at the earliest. I find it hard to believe the IBF will grant the exception and postpone the defense for that long, as it would be unfair to the challengers. Plus, there's no guarantee the winner of the rematch will be interested in defending that belt at all.
I expect there will be no interim belt on the line on Saturday and Usyk to be stripped after the 2nd of June. Then the fight between Hrgovic/Dubois and Anthony Joshua would be for the proper belt (not the interim one).
I don't see much sense in introducing an interim belt given Usyk is not seriously injured and would be ready to fight if he wanted to.

Since Ten Hag couldn't provide such, sacking him and bringing another coach, that's what's on their mind. It's better to have it done than still keeping Ten Hag as Manchester United's coach

If the media reports are true, it already has been decided that he's on his way out. Allegedly he already talked with Jim Ratcliffe and was informed of the decision.
There was no way he could stay for another season after the club placed in the worst league place since the 1989/90 season (when they ended up 13th).
Although, to be fair to him, when Alex Ferguson took over he was also far from being successful in the first few years. United's places under Ferguson in his first 5 years as the manager were 11th, 2nd, 12th, 13th and 6th respectively, and things have massively improved since then.

Anyhow, the big question is who will replace him. Names currently floating around in the news are: Roberto De Zerbi, Thomas Tuchel, Kieran McKenna, Mauricio ­Pochettino and Thomas Frank.

Here are the odds for the full card of the Bivol Vs Zinad next week:

Dmitry Bivol x1.06 vs. Malik Zinad x12.50
Daniel Dubois x2.70 vs. Filip Hrgovic x1.44
Zhilei Zhang x1.61 vs. Deontay Wilder x2.28
Nick Ball x2.38 vs. Ray Ford x1.57
Hamzah Sheeraz x1.44 vs. Austin Williams x2.75
Willy Hutchinson x2.07 vs. Craig Richards x1.73

Which of the above would you consider a good value bet?
I think it's possible that Wilder will redeem himself and could find a way to finish Zhang. Are odds of x2.28 good enough to make such bet? I'm not convinced.

In relation to the IBF belt, I just learned that Turki Alalshikh has announced that the winner of Hrgovic Vs Dubois will face Anthony Joshua in September:
https://talksport.com/sport/1869699/anthony-joshua-next-fight-tyson-fury-dubois-hrgovic/

Which would indicate that either:
1 - no interim belt will be introduced and Usyk will be granted the exception and then the winner of Usyk Vs Fury 2 will face the winner of Hrgovic/Dubois Vs Joshua for the IBF title shot; or
2 - Usyk will be stripped and the winner of Hrgovis Vs Dubois will face Joshua for the IBF belt, and whoever wins then could maybe face the winner of Usyk Vs Fury 2.

That's how I read the situation anyway.

If anyone is getting heated up after losing, that's a very big red flag and a sign that something needs to be changed.
If one is to engage in gambling at all, the approach should be as emotionless as possible. Getting frustrated with the outcome usually indicates that a person wagered much more than they could afford to lose.

Imo BTC has failed as currency because of its volatility.

Volatility surely didn't help, but the major problem with ANY cryptocurrency succeeding as a currency is that people do not earn in cryptos. And it makes no sense to convert fiat to crypto only so you could pay with it, if you can do the same directly with fiat, avoiding the extra hassle and exchange fees.

A lot of comments show some surprise and disbelief that Man City have lost the FA Cup, despite being huge favourite, forgetting that, for the major clubs, the FA Cup is simply not of high importance.
I think this article helps to put things in perspective:
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/who-cares-about-the-fa-cup

It is estimated that Manchester City, last season’s Treble winners,  made more than £250 million pounds from winning the Premier League, the Champions League and the FA Cup: only some £4 million of that came from winning the cup final at Wembley

In this season, by winning it, Man City would only gain £1m more than they got for being the runner-up (the winner gets £2m, the runner-up £1m). So the motivation was definitely higher on the Man United's side, who needed the win to participate in the Europa League next season and wanted to give something to their fans after placing in the worst league position in over 30 years. And, of course, they'd need that extra £1m much more.
