Ironically, this reply sounds like it was written by AI.

I’m honestly struggling to make sense of what this says.

Can’t you just block the user? That way you won’t have to see any of their posts?

BBC Sport gives a little more background.

Lyon manager Laurent Blanc has been sacked with the team bottom of Ligue 1. A 4-1 home defeat by Blanc's former club Paris St-Germain proved to be his final match in charge of the club, who said Blanc left by "mutual agreement". Lyon have only one point from four games this season and Ligue 1's worst goal difference. Technical director Jean-Francois Vulliez, who oversees Lyon's renowned academy, will manage the first team on an interim basis. Blanc, 57, was appointed Lyon manager in October and the club ended last season in seventh, outside Ligue 1's European places. It was his first managerial role in France since leaving PSG after the 2015-16 season, although Blanc had managed Al Rayyan in Qatar in the interim. Results were disappointing and Blanc's average of 1.53 points per game is the worst of any permanent Lyon manager of the past 25 years aside from Sylvinho, who lasted just nine league matches. Blanc previously won three Ligue 1 titles managing PSG and another in charge of Bordeaux. Former Brighton and Chelsea manager Graham Potter, 48, was reported to have turned down the Lyon job last week. Gennaro Gattuso, 45, is another manager strongly linked to the vacancy, having left his previous job in charge of Valencia in January. During Blanc's tenure, American businessman John Textor - who also owns shares in Crystal Palace - completed a takeover of the club.

Fast and loose translation using the translate option in Safari. Article doesn’t really go into much detail.

Red lantern of Ligue 1, Olympique Lyonnais separated from its coach Laurent Blanc on Friday night. Jean-François VullIiez is the new number 1 and will be assisted by Sonny Anderson and Jérémie Bréchet.

Laurent Blanc, who was under contract until June 2024, is no longer OL's coach. Tuesday's training will be provided by Jean-François Vulliez, who was part of his staff, and who will have as assistants Sonny Anderson (president's advisor) and Jérémie Bréchet, current U19 coach.

Blanc, who learned the news on Friday, was removed from office and will therefore no longer sit on the Lyon bench. Vulliez will act as an interim while John Textor continues to look for a number 1. Gennaro Gattuso, advised by influential agent Jorge Mendes, is one of the candidates. The Italian technician (45 years old) has been free since his departure from Valencia at the end of January.

It’ll be found under The Wool Trilogy or Silo Series.

Basically, season 1 of Silo tv show takes you to halfway through book 1, so there’s a helluva lot of story still to come if Apple really commit to adapting the full trilogy.

There’s enough changes in the tv show adaptation to let you enjoy the books but still enjoy the tv show in my opinion.

Silo was terrific. Have you read the trilogy it’s based on? It’s excellent and really expands on the story.

I’m glad it wasn’t just me. I thought I was having a stroke whilst reading it.

I wouldn’t say budget version but in this picture I can see a resemblance.

That’s Japan’s secret. They set off in 1931 so had 10 years to reach their target…

The Royal Marines and Commando training is amongst the toughest in the world and produces elite fighting units.

If 1000 Ukrainians have passed that training then Russia is going to have a very bad time soon.

Expect a lot of shit to get blown up way behind enemy lines…
