talkSPORT’s Simon Jordan and Danny Murphy have been giving their immediate reaction to Thomas Tuchel’s sacking.

Jordan said: “They’ve obviously got someone lined up. It doesn’t feel like a footballing decision.

“They haven’t been great, but Tuchel has enough currency in footballing terms to be given an opportunity to correct this slight malaise.

“This game in the Champions League is incidental – they will qualify from their group. Something else is afoot here.

“There is something more to this. It isn’t just a ruthless owner cutting through what he considers to be the football landscape.”
