I wonder what the other guy is pulling out of Grealish’s ass on the first picture

Hmm what is the point of sacking managers of clubs that had high odds of going down anyway? Not the best idea if you want stability at the club.

If they go down and fail tp get back up - ok, thats fair deal. But come on - Luton and Sheffield this year, any victory is already a welcome surprise. And Burnley changed from a park the bus to a tram that tries to play eye to eye. If the board is on board w that, thats a keep.

Stupid is to sack a manager because he only finished 3rd on a season… because as we all have seen, that tends to improve teams performance other than to throw them to mid-table.fodder.

Inthinknit is easy to be sorry for someone when justice isnt distributed equally.

We have the same problem in Portugal.

Funnily enough , Italy - a country known by its perceived corruption - has been the bravest in the matter , when it comes down to sanction application to major clubs

Joao Moutinho was an invisible player throughout his carreer. And an amazing one.

After Timo Werner, i was really not that hopeful on Haaland.

But in that sense it is the EPL global rights and indifferent if the club is doing well or not.

A good advantage (and fairness) of the EPL is the collective bargaining of the tv rights.

Happened in Serie A with Juventus and Milan. Most players actually stayed.

Its a tik-tok generation question, where not being a consistent title contender = mid table. You know, like Arsenal, and Tottenham 😋.

Long story short - you would see a lot less tiktokers or youtubers puting up discussion videos or reels about them. Interest in the international market would dwindle and that would have an impact on merchandise revenue… but that would be about it. It would still enjoy from a healthy domestic fanbase, which are actually the people that keep the club alive… and those would usually take 30 to 40 years to disappear. Take Everton or Newcastle. Newcastle even spent quite a bit of time going up and down on the EPL, and still kept massive domestic interest over their fans.

Dont mistake what happens in the internet with real.life. internet seeks hype and trends. Real.life is a lot more about dedication and progressive growth / investment

You are going create messi argument with that question.

Problem is that the English refs can count themselves already as the very best 😝.

People just have the strange notion that because they may have a club affiliation they will be out there to get you.

It is funnu because in a lot of leagues people are requesting for foreign refs. Which kind of indicates that all refs are shit or the perception of them is shit.

English refs routinely appear at the finals of european or international.competition. it is a good indication that perhaps they are at the top of their game. Bear in mind that in EPL, they are fully professional, which is not the case in most leagues.

Dont let the perception of extended comments focus on referreing to paint a worst picture than it is. Refereeing is actually stradily improving. But.when you start discussing a bad ref call when it is needed a shot at 3 different speeds, 10 different angles and even then people.say it isnup to interpretation - that is not bad ref. That is just pundits and fans being a dic and demanding a lot more thant what is humanly possible.

Wasnt the point of Brexit to make itnharder for foreigners to work there?
