Time to call Erik ten Hag

 

I love La Liga

 

Atletico have been so rubbish since February. Biggest bottling in recent memory?

 

I cannot stop loving this man lol

 

Besides the obvious bias of who I want to win La Liga, there's something romantic about what Sevilla are doing. Atleti should've never have bottled it, but if Sevilla end up the title winners (they play Madrid the same day Barca-Atleti play, if I recall correctly), it'll be so special.

 

Atleti bottling it this hard is truly impressive

 

Chicharito heard everyone talking shit apparently

 

Sevilla winning would be brilliant.

 

Fabrizio now reporting mutual interest between Nagelsmann and Bayern.

 

Arsenal: Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira to join Daniel Ek in bid to buy club

The Invincibles inclusion in this is really promising, but Kroenke just doesn't sell so I can't see this happening.

 

They’ll just do what the Class of 92 did. Create their own club, with blackjack and hookers and buy their way up the leagues.


Salford City has been around since the 40’s but let’s be honest it’s a completely different club now

 

Kicker have said he has asked Leipzig to terminate his contract to join Bayern. Leipzig want 25m

 

I hope Nagelsmann is the real deal for Bayern and not another Kovac!

 

I for one welcome our new Spotify overlords, and fully embrace him crushing the finances of artists everywhere so that we can buy the ghost of Maroune Chamakh.

 

Nagelsmann going to Bayern, and I doubt Rodgers leaves Leicester

Hope we get Ten Hag

 

he said recently that he wanted to stay another year at Ajax

 

Probably will end up being Potter or Nuno honestly

 

I think you guys would go insane if it was Nuno. Same defensive, boring football as Mourinho pretty much

 

Potter could be a great shout.

 

I want nothing to do with him here personally but I could see them circling to it

Potter is probably my favorite realistic pick given Nagelsmann/Rodgers/Ten Hag are most likely all out

 

I’d go for Potter. Spurs need a rebuild and a new culture throughout the team, they’ve needed that for a couple of years now. Not dissimilar to us post Mourinho and van Gaal. Potter seems like a great guy to get in to bring that in.

 

We have Bailly a new contract for some bizarre reason.

 

Sounds like Sarri is heading to Roma

 

I know you aren’t trying to be serious with this comment haha but it kinda goes right along with what I’ve been thinking regarding all of this SL outrage from certain fans. Mainly City and Chelsea fans.

Chelsea fans took such pride in their big protests against the SL and the greedy billionaires who tried to make it happen. I obviously don’t disagree with the supporters outrage. I don’t want SL either. But I find it all a little silly when you consider it’s Chelsea. A club who really didn’t have much of a winning/successful history until....a mega billionaire overlord came in and bought the team. Now they always have amazing players and managers. They have been consistent winners since this takeover. These things can also be said about City. Very little winning, billionaire comes in, suddenly they’re consistent winners.

Why isn’t there any outrage in how these two clubs have been conducting their business for the last decade plus? Basically their only success comes from the same billionaires that they are now outraged by. If not for these takeovers they wouldn’t even be a part of the SL.

It’s hard for me to really put into words what I’m trying to say, but I just find it weird their fans are completely fine with their owners breaking financial fair play rules and gaining advantages because of the money they have but then act so enraged when their billionaire owners try to keep doing more of the same. You can make the argument that they’ve been, in a way, ruining the fabric of the game for over a decade now but the fans have been silent on it because of the glory it’s brought them.

I don’t mean to trigger fans of these two teams. I know the two situations aren’t exactly the same. But it’s all just weird to me
