@Chules, imagine you get fired for gross incompetence. The next day, one of the top 5 hospitals in the UK calls you and offers a leadership role with 10x the pay. How long does it take you to accept?

If Dortmund wins the CL we would have Frankfurt in the CL aswell who finished 6th

After next season up to seven teams from the same league will be able to qualify

'But from 2024-25 the cap has been removed and it will be possible for seven teams to get a place in the UCL: The top four, fifth through league performance in Europe, and the winners of the UCL and the UEL.'

The battle for extra Champions League places: Germany, Italy clinch spots

Germany and Italy will be rewarded with extra places in next season's Champions League as part of the 36-team competition revamp.

It’s surprises me that Kompany gave them a full 4 minutes and 50 seconds to come their senses.

Bellamy will always be a legend after scoring that winner against Swansea

@Dr J

️Sources close to Kieran McKenna believe he would favour United if they ask him to replace Erik ten Hag.

It is understood Enzo Maresca, who would be interested in joining Chelsea, has a strong chance of landing the job.

With respect to @Arqueto I would say yes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He seems to be a bit of a prima donna maybe? Like one of these people who is very talented but demanding and difficult to work with. You can get racehorses like that too. I don't know, I haven't looked into his various problems much, maybe some of it is other people's, such as Souness's, fault. He has an MMA gym in Cardiff now.

Walked past him near my flat during lockdown. Smaller than me. I was surprised. Was just calmly strolling dressed smartly.

Kompany new Bayern manager, this guy linked to United and Chelsea, Xavi leaves Barca, then stays for a year and then gets fired. What fucking timeline are we living in?

 

[Rawex]

Wayne Rooney approached over Plymouth Argyle job.

Wonder whats the odds for Plymouth to win the FA Cup?

 

[Partlow]

I genuinely cant wrap my head around the Bayern/Kompany stuff. What the fuck do Bayern fans think of that, having seen Leverkusen push their shit in last season?!

Finished behind Luton after having 21 more points then them last season and spending 111m euros in the last 2 windows (while Luton spent 25m)

Trying to think of other cases of failing upwards, Lopetegui is the obvious one to come to mind

0 trophies in 3 years at Porto (longest trophy drought in decades) > Spain NT (eliminated by Russia in world cup) > Real Madrid (lasted 2 months)

Lampard (couldn’t get Derby promoted > Chelsea) although there’s clearly bias there

Yeah, that is a huge step-up for him. He's only been a manager for three seasons and two of those seasons were in League One
