thing is his salary nowhere near where should be. I think we would be surprised who is on higher salary from current squad. probably some that didnt provide 10% of what Rodri did for us. there is a long delay on his contract renewal likely caused by the lengthy injury he had.
so if it comes out before the WC its either tomorrow or Mon, Tue, Wed next week. doubt it would be the exact day of WC kickoff on Thursday next week.
I doubt its this fucking month at all.
is there any chance that the panel maybe were so busy they have just completely forgot about this case...
dont see much problem with this, sounds like a campaign where they promise all kind of things. Haaland can transfer to Real if they can agree with City and with him. lot of this theatre to move focus away of their pretty bad season.
if Mourinho ends up there again he will make that dressing...
bit odd hardly any game scheduled yet apart from one in Hong Kong. even that wont have most of the players back yet .Community shield vs Arse will be likes of Foden, Lewis, Savinho, Grealish, Echeverri, Phillips etc.
our midfield need huge help even if Rodri stays. if he doesnt haha, it will need lot more than Anderson. while I like Bernardo, he was past his best 2-3 years ago yet had to play almost all games this season too as we didnt properly replace previous players while arrivals in the meantime was...
with this bullshit delay and compensation, I would rather tap up Enrique and pay whatever fine we need to pay to PSG and buy him out.
if players dont buy into the Maresca ideas early on this will go shit soon and for that we need proper good start and results Aug, Sept, Oct.
WC kicks off Thursday next week. very little chance this comes out before that.
whats shocking is we dont even know where the panel is, 10% done, 50% done, 90% done, done just waiting to release it etc.
that Chelsea final still haunts me especially how nothing remained of that Chelsea side even by 2023 let alone today. most of that Chelsea squad was bought 2019 onwards. while we slowly built towards our CL trophy and took Pep the 7th season to win it Tuchel took over in January and delivered in...
11 working days until WC kicks off. It won't drop on a weekend.
I do think the panel wisely using the huge gaffe that nobody put a strict timeline on this and their hourly rate is now being billed for months later still
Like a work project they give you to complete as long as it's taking you...
I am ok if Maresca uses Pep's previous work to win a title at first ask. lot of the squad still around from our last title. what Slot needed get brutal form out of Salah, decent defence, hard working midfield and most of all two mediocre rivals neither us or Arse hit even 75 points.
reality is...
does anyone think it will come out before WC starts?
more chance that panel took first two weeks of June for summer holiday haha
while this week they take it easy due to Monday was off anyway.
he needs to hit the ground running. 1st game vs Arse in Cardiff after few friendlies (one of which postponed due to bad weather in some odd place)
then a good PL start needed, to set the tone and make rivals take notic and games coming up quick in CL too where now we surely learnt our lessions...
Maresca career if we don't give him this job will be something like this:
Napoli or Juve, eventually fired in 18 months months. Then maybe another PL tint at Brighton, Bournemouth etc.
Still better than Potter or Rosenior career will be but don't think Maresca is all that.
Really prefer someone...
