Majority seems to feel like it serves him right for the provocation.

 

Shocker, both clubs are at this point the same thing in different colors.

 

The difference is that people in Germany don't go to the game to clap for a title winning team and empty the stadium by the 80th minute or so.

The Fan culture is a lot healthier, and there are multiple voices within football that basically say that the goal shouldn't be to compete globally/outside of the border any way. I'll have to look it up but I think it was St Paulis' director that said "why does the Bundesliga have to compete with the Premier League? Why not be the best football the German audience prefers? Why does the domestic audience have to bend towards what people want that don't even watch us play?"

The truth is that football is a money pit. If you want to make money, you simply don't put a cent into football. I heard that from an investment advisor that told me if you have too much money, just invest in a sports club to have it as part of a bigger portfolio and be somehow a discussion topic, but you'll never really make money from it.

You could also argue that the Premier League has already reached NBA style domination to the point where I heard a former ESPN exec say "if you have the Premier League, you already have the only club football product worth caring about".

 

A European competition without the premier league is worthless.

Also, playing only within your own city cripples your domestic outreach to the point where you become pretty much irrelevant to people that would have otherwise been able to watch you play at an away game at the region they live in.

The few times I've gotten to speak with German executives none of them believes anybody would want to watch their own club over somebody like Tottenham or even Aston Villa. Don't know how it is in Spain, but German football generally knows it's place.

Don't think anybody has any realistic hopes of ever competing with the Premier League.


I honestly don't care by now. If Florentino is such a finance wizard and really generates "a beeeellion dollars" as he says, the future is rosey.

 

AS doing a lot of Mourinho promo and the readers respond positively in the comment sections and AS new/recent "your opinion" column.

I'm convinced he's amongst the top candidates for the club right now.

 

It’s been 35 years since this glorious Paul Gascoigne performance vs Pompey in the FA Cup.

Lots to see here:

- the state of the Fratton Park pitch
- the incredible camera angles

I posted it because a lot of people are under the impression that our players are treated like the enemy elsewhere while the rest of the league is treated to flowers and handshakes.

 

If you want to make it an experiment, Arbeloa might be a test on how much "academic knowledge" matters, sort of as a test where you can gauge on whether Mourinho's lack of modern approach would impact his potential with this team.

There's a case to be made where the people making the decisions feel like this team doesn't need a teacher, it needs more of a manager.

I think Mou doesn't sound as far fetched as he did 10 months ago, especially if the tie between Madrid and Benfica is competitive (i'd consider him signed if they knock us out).

 

Di Maria has had a movie of a career. What a player. One of the guys that players will probably mention as one of the best they played with when he retires.
