3) Is Wayne Rooney a good head coach/manager?

4) Who are some up and coming managers that a club in the Big 5/6 leagues may try to hire this summer?

5) Does Erling Haaland have any shot at the Ballon d'Or, or does it already have Messi's name on it?

6) Why does the “galácticos” approach work for Real Madrid and not for PSG?

7) Who are the football equivalents of Hard Rock Café, Applebees and Chili's?(Once again, yes, that's a real question that Ryan forced us to answer).
