Re: Other Teams' Stuff

That’s my point really, though I probably didn’t express it clearly enough. By pre-cursor I meant that it will probably be what they think they can get away with for now and then when it’s clear it’s always the same teams dominating and those same teams raise a fuss about the number of games they ar...

It's nice having CL games on Thursday but the idea of a league seems like a slog. And there are quite a lot of average teams playing each other.
Looks to me like it might be a pre-cursor for the European Super League.

Interesting. Anymore info on this? Are these Glazer shares?
Any chance of a summary of this? Don’t do so–called social media.

Re: Other Teams' Stuff

According to Sky, Clearlake want to buy Boehly out. They want rid, cos he's shite. I guess that's the attitude of private equity; that if they're not getting a return, they get rid of the people in charge? Also Boehly and Eghbali are having beef. Because they are seeking returns, PE tends to be (qu...

Re: Other Teams' Stuff

Re: Erik Ten Hag

You need to be able to ring the changes depending on who you’re playing and change style within a game.
There is no one best formula, although you do need to be able to play at high tempo. But that doesn’t mean everyone dashes around like a blue arsed fly. Quick thinking is as important as quick legs.

Game over. Get rid now before he does any more damage.
