Activate Another Lever and Still Lose to a Madrid Remontada - The Small Teams Thread

2 upsets so far....

 

Imagine, potentially 6 of those were in the last 10 years.

 

Because he has a large following.

Of course he appears cringe to you and anyone who isn’t his target audience but I like the hustle of these youngsters tbh.

 

Kids love him and the Paul brothers

the question is why are young kids attracted to cringe annoying behavior?

 

3 upsets actually, because United won the FA cup.

 

They need the tiktok generation to care about their team.

This dude is going to be third highest paid manager in the world of football.
The trophies he won:
1 FA cup in 19/20
2 times english super cup winner- 20/21,23/24.

His biggest achievement in Europe is semi-final in season 2020/2021 where he lost to Villarreal of Unai Emery(in the final they beat Man united at pantlies).

 

I think they are afraid of Arsenal falling to the depths that they were headed to, like Man U and Chelsea, so they paid the man that at least keeps them relevant

 

No takers for Ligue 1 rights for 2024-25 season yet

I mentioned the importance of Neymar and Mbappe for the broadcasting rights, this shouldn't surprise anyone

 

PSG willing to offer 100 M for Kvara apparently. I think ADL won't sell him as Conte's moaning would be too much. They will just cash in on Osimhen who has a buyout clause and get Lukaku as replacement for Conte.

 

I don't know, Kvara and Osimhen both had quiet seasons and if they can still get 100M for either or both they will capitalize on that before its too late. Another quiet season and you might be looking at an Belotti like situation.

 

I used to cringe at Speed too until I realised this too. He's not the target. Reminds me of me and my brother finding Jim Carrey funny talking with his rear in Ace Ventura while our mom threatened to put off the TV if he does it again.

Anyway, let him make his money.

 

Gerard Piqué has been officially charged with corruption by the Spanish higher court today in the #SuperCopaGate scandal.

Piqué made a secret deal, WHEN HE WAS AN ACTIVE PLAYER for FC Barcelona, with the then RFEF president Rubiales to take the Super Cup to Saudi Arabia https://t.co/PQ0nVcSzbT

That's common with Italian presidents. Lazio president put 100 ME+ pricetag on SMS to basically price him out. Napoli put 150 M pricetag on Koulibaly for long. Hence I feel they won't sell Kvara this early especially since they convinced Conte to take the job.

Barca's expense is crazy high for the squad they have. 216 M more than RM.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are in the Top 3 for highest total operating expenses amongst teams who have published their 2022/23 financials so far. 💰🇪🇸

Barca tops the list with operation expenses of €990 million. Around €640 million in staff costs and around €350 million in… pic.twitter.com/2QR4iQZyOo

City and PSG operating expenses are probably double the amounts shown
