Weird you read socialist news. It's a bit bollocks though because the only ballots that a political party can control are primary ballots... and those are for voters to pick who will represent that party. So yeah, you wouldn't see third parties on that - because that's not what the point of those ballots are. Those are for parties to pick their candidates. For the general election, each state sets the rules for what lets you get on the ballot - not any party. So it's just some made up bullshit to try to equate America to Russia to convince the lowest information US voters and foreigners who have a weird obsession with US politics but refuse to have any real sort of understanding about US politics.

Waxing lyrical over a 1-1 draw? Doubt it mate. The media just sucked off United for their brilliant FA cup performance where we were honestly pretty shite. I think obviously the media are going to talk more about United, they’re a media darling club. But at the end of the day that was both a dominant performance from you and a dogshit performance from United. But I think if you’re saying that’s arguably one of the most dominant performances all season, I’d say it’s pretty easy to argue if United scored first.

There’s no way that’s fucking offside

It’s almost always both imo

Get in!!

We are so wasteful for a team that creates so much.

This referee doesn’t deserve kneecaps let alone a salary

Quansah needs subbing off at half time, definitely his worst performance for us. He and Bradley have been abysmal lol.

I think whoever comes in will be afforded patience as long as it’s not an unmitigated disaster like when Hodgson was our manager. The one thing I feel confident going for always is having Michael Edwards back. But I think us being worse next season is almost inevitable. We’ll be going from one of the best managers in football to someone who’s going to be a lot more of an unknown quantity.

Yeah but there’s very few managers who are as good in the CL as Ancelotti, let alone with teams as good as the ones he’s won CLs with. Idk it’s hard to feel excited about any of the names we’ve been linked with really. They all seem like pretty massive downgrades. I’m not too optimistic about the near future.

He’s become a lot more pragmatic compared to his first few seasons with us & we’ve been better for it. He’s a hell of a lot more pragmatic than Rodgers ever was for us. I think a good manager should be able to have an adaptable general philosophy than a rigid philosophy they will stick to even when it clearly isn’t working all the time.

If he ends up our manager he should get used to injuries and throwing kids into big matches. I like his football but he just comes across a bit of the same personality as Rodgers. A bit stubborn, not as pragmatic. I think I’d prefer him to the Portuguese guy though.

Nah I don’t think so. Everyone we’ve been linked with is a massive massive step down from Klopp, it’s inevitable. I think whoever comes in after him basically has an impossible job so we should be doing whatever we can to make the transition go as smoothly as possible.

I don’t know I think failing with the squad they’re about to have is almost unforgivable.

Dangerous move going there so young. If he fails at Madrid with Mbappe & co, I can’t see him ever managing Liverpool or Bayern Munich after that.

Lol he’d try to sell Trent, he should be nowhere near a club with serious ambitions

I think he’d be a disaster tbh. His man management is more Rafa than Klopp, I don’t think that works out long term in 2024 with player power and people having very sensitive feelings.

I think he’s got to worry more about what the manager thinks about it than the fans. The fans might get pissed off now but fans are fickle and if he’s playing we he’ll be easily forgiven.

Why did I not see this

Gutted tbh. Both leave me thinking "meh" as well

The 2 other names our credible journos have linked us with are Amorim (who I honestly know nothing about, so maybe he's very good - he's got a pretty shit record in Europe though if I recall) and De Zerbi, who's football I generally like... but I also get Brendan Rodgers-ish vibes from him. Maybe that's misplaced. Neither really fill me with the same kind of optimism and confidence as Xabi - but maybe it's for the best because filling Klopp's shoes will be immensely difficult and it would be sad if fans turn on Alonso if things don't go well.

I’m absolutely gutted. The one manager we could bring in that gave me a bit of confidence about us replacing Klopp was Xabi Alonso and now he’s announced he’s staying at Leverkusen. I think he probably is waiting til Ancelotti fucks off out of Madrid then he’ll go there. The other names on the shortlist don’t exactly fill me with a great deal of confidence, so pretty gutted.

Tbh I'd heard of none of those things other than the Boehly thing and I only heard about it because of @The Palace Fan

He's still chairman til 2027. Might be old news, but that's what this old news actually says.

Lol what an absolute moron
