I like potter but he has no track record of being more than a mid table manager. I think he is the one holding Chelsea back

its a dangerous bid for football in general where one club will be able to do what Chelsea did, but all the time. it destroys competition and will break transfer markets even more. sportswashing is on the cusp of winning a major moral victory. they are about to own a marquee club and show that fans are happy to buy a title. the other bid will still make man United strong with ample support for on and off field upgrades, but it's not going to be 400+ a season. Props to Adam Mckola coming out and saying he is not happy about Qatar

America is now waging a war against ET and friends. independenceday was clearly bullshit as these aliens don't even have shields.......meanwhile in Congress they are trying to increase spending for the industrial militarycomplex and friends with benefits.

apparently Liverpool have 300m to spend.

in the championship

may have to pump those brakes

Liverpool needed a Palhinha type midfielder, enzo would have also suited you better than Bellingham

the level of performance of the last two or so years was going to be hard to sustain, and that is where it shows through statistically. Squad turnover has to happen, it is a natural consequence but bemoaning money is the easy out. Liverpool have spent more or less on par with rivals, in the past they were just making better signings than they did this year, that factored with the stupidity of prices for players today has made it much harder to look at 160-170m the same, but that is not the owners fault.

i think there is a lot of overreaction. Liverpool may have gotten the transfer policy wrong this season but the doom and gloom is suffocating. obviously as a club rich with prestige like Liverpool the fan base as never really experienced suffering and this season's fall off feels like the apocalypse.

one of the reasons for our take over was that investor wealth would not substitute the club's wealth. Now we have Chelsea and reports of man United having exorbitant sugar daddy money. man United is a club with 1.1bn debt and losing 2m per week. the point of profit and sustainability is to minimise risk of debt and make clubs self sufficient.

auf weidersahen to Klopp

To be fair i am surprised he was there still, he was shipped out to Sevilla last season and I thought that was the end.

Varane retires from international football, should help him extend his club career. Good news for man united. For France they are fortunately blessed in depth in that position.

I don't think it is as impossible as believed, in Russia Putin's power is weakening and he is getting more political enemies who want to go back no conflict. I think he is bordering on desperation now, and a ceasefire may start to look appealing or like a political victory. one of Putin's closest allies basically backstabbed him and stole all the money designated to the military for the last 5 years, Russia still suffers from Soviet era cloak and dagger, Putin's greatest threat is his inner sanctum nd if he is dying someone ambitious may try to remove the piece from the board. a head admiral from the United States has warned Congress of imminent risk of conflict with China, and that China pose a military and technological threat

I'm shocked you didn't try cash in on Tielemans, to know he is walking out a free agent must suck. I would prefer there be revision to free agent rules whereby if a club offers a new deal and the player refuses to sign, the club signing him would pay compensation as determined by arbitrators similar to how youth players are signed. while it will be a lot less than if he is sold at least leicester would get a small return e.g. 7m or younger the player the higher the compensation if the club failed to make a contract offer, the player becomes unrestricted and no compensation is paid.

Liverpool may have a chance in the derby now

I think he is under huge pressure in Russia, I don't think he is liked and Russians on a whole will probably support a peaceful resolution. The only way it can be sustainable is if Putin is gone.

I don't want to find out

would spurs winning nothing be a failure, or is success the collective sum of the last decade or so getting to champions league quite regularly?

they certainly did, but it came after a lot of disengenous talks and passive coercion. Russia are far from right or vindicated, but the response of perpetuating war or an inevitability of such for political gain where no Ukrainian benefits other than letting black rock decide how their country is run. I am genuinely concerned that this will escalate into a situation where Russia is desperate enough to use nuclear weapons. a peaceful ceasefire where the terms remain that Ukraine will never be part of NATO how it was and how it should be, Russia then gives everything back, and putin steps down

I don't believe that at all, the negotiations were from a position that Russia take bad terms, that isn't a negotiation it was a demand. the west is stoking a situation that nuclear war is a possibility and all the sycophants do is pay themselves on the back for sending equipment used to instigate and propagate the continuation of war. They do that because the west wants a lonely war where millions of Ukrainians die and taxpayers just keep shovelling cash into a cause nobody wants Russia demanded a return to the the NATO/Federation line, NATO has been pushing East for years and finally Russia has had enough. This war is caught over beaurocratic greed for lands the west unilaterally stole from the Soviet union

is anyone finding it funny how nobody is interested in finding a peaceful ceasefire? obviously it's due to everyone wanting a war so they can get their fingers in the pie. war is bad business unless you are in the business of selling war.

UEFA is still said to impose retrospective amortization rules from the start of the 2022/2023 season. what it will mean is that despite the 8 year contracts all of these deals will be calculated off 5 years

these things happen to be domino effects

flush the turds
