    Nagelsmann is a guy that looks good from far away because he talks about football in a clever way and has all these ideas and concepts and innovations but there is one thing that I don't like in many sports and that is:

    Don't create complicated answers for simple questions.

    Players need simple instructions, at the top level you will simply not teach a guy how to play, players will play the way they know the game whether you like it or not. Players that talk about working with Guardiola usually say that he explains everything ridiculously simple that it seems like it's the easiest thing to do.

    When Nagelsmann talks about how he wants to innovate, how he wants constant contact with the players, brother, the players don't want to hear your shit for the entire time. It's the one thing that prevents Emery (a coach I consider Nagelsmann's level) from reaching the top level. Way too much talking, too much instruction giving, too much. At some point players feel that you want to play the game for them.

    Zidane did this to perfection. Two words, simple instructions, let's get it.

    Didn't bother to. When I saw it would be decided on PKs I turned on the TV. Due to the delay, I could hear the stadium roaring way before things were happening on screen. It was fun though. Just moved to the city two months ago, I'll probably watch one of their games eventually.

    But but! He didn't pay them!

    Sure, he just determined who earned €400k and who earned nothing yearly and there is proof he would alter this according to whomever performed how he wanted.

    Nothing wrong with that though... unless you're an idiot.

    This document from the 1996 second division really opens the case up.

    If they found the gun and the body and his fingerprints, you would still find a way to defend him.

    Yes. we cannot prove that when he shot, he was intending to kill the victim. Also, we cannot prove that the victim would have died anyway from a heart attack.

    If a scribbled ratings sheet from the Segunda division of 1995/1996 is what proves that Barca were winning titles because of result manipulation in the late 2010s then that's the most laughable proof i've ever seen.

    If the football is rigged, why are you watching? Is this some kind of masochistic thing i don't know about?

    Why would anyone want to take over right now? Benz is older and we don't have a CF replacement and we're very leaky at the back. Taking over this team could be one the shortest manager campaigns in decades.

    We have been saying this for a while now. Negreira have known which referees hated our club and also which one's style was more or less beneficial for Barca.

    The match officials don't have to be involved anymore than the chief of police needs to bribe beat cops to give tickets in poor areas and not in wealthy ones.

    The chief of police can simply assign the ones who don't cite drivers for speeding just over the limit in neighborhoods he wants to avoid sanctions and assign the ones who don't like saggy pants or tinted windows in areas where that happens to get a massive disparity.

    Add in the officials who privately say they hate a certain clubs and you get massive difference in outcomes.

    We've had VAR officials cheering decisions that went against us.

    He's become a petulant little bastard TBH, nobody held a gun to his head and said sign an extension or your family dies. He took an embarrassing amount of cash and bought into the narrative that he's saving french football. At this rate his career is tracking more like Neymar (sans the CL trophy) than one of a generational talent. His attitude needs a tremendous amount of work.

    You read my posts so you would see where I have literally said I am losing interest, I watch less and when I do it is tedious.

    Since you revealed yourself to be a insensitive moron who approves racism and other forms of bigotry as long as it is "cultural" you have free fallen even worse than this sport.

    So let's see, we have payments being made by a club exclusively to a party that is supposed to be impartial with no documentation, said party has direct ability to change which officials are assigned to which matches, there is a direct correlation to very favorable results to the side making the payment, and there is testimony that the son of the party receiving money was in direct contact with the officials assigned to specific matches.

    Carvajal as well.

    The case is in court. What do you expect them to do? Sit and fold?

    They should go and complain, this is how you seal the deal with them apparently.

    The club could request foreign referees as was done in other leagues with result manipulation scandals.

    But considering the same officials continue working it doesn't seem to me as if the clubs have anything to say about the officials.
