Shearer doesn’t have a record. It’s Jimmy Greaves’s record with 357 goals.
With a contract this long, I would fancy Haaland to beat that if he’s fortunate with not getting injured.
Have you considered how many managers and how many years you will go through to get another manager who can bring as much success as Pep? You could be talking a factor of decades.
I’d say the chances of Pep correcting course and building a new successful City team is a far more likely prospect.
He’s just won you 4 league titles on the spin. You can’t surely be at the point where you can’t tolerate one “off” season. Pep’s the best manager to turn it around, he’ll need the summer to do it and he should have earned the backing to be given that chance.
Portuguese League is pretty small potatoes. It’s even smaller overall than the Dutch league. There are 18 teams in their top flight. If you list the teams in terms of attendances, once you get half way down the list you’re getting sub 3000 figures. Oldham would be 8th biggest club in that league...
