A breakdown of Manager spending and trophy success. Pep was top out if all the managers.

It's in the Daily Mail, so take it with a pinch of salt.

From the article.

But since arriving at Abu Dhabi-backed City, Guardiola has been backed to the tune of £1.27bn to build an all-conquering team

It’s so that they don’t discuss net spend, notice only spend.

FFS, a new one: "Abu Dhabi-backed". Do they hand out awards for the most obtuse owner reference?

The headline claims City splurged that money, as though there was no thought or planning behind it. Personally I think the splurging title belongs equally to the rags and Chelsea.

Trouble now at Madrid over player behaviour.

3 players and an underage girl video.

Just like the rags, scummy club.

As an aside this is why Bellingham will be nurtured to be a ****.

I've noticed SSN has this as their big story today...Not.

They have to get creative to push the narrative. Desperate times and slow news week too.

Pep not winning the Manager of the month is same as Saka winning the young PFA — too much pity awards. Sure Ange did well than expected but 4 out 4 wins is not good enough to win the award. Make it make sense.

BBC review of the WSL transfer window today.
Only one team is highlighted with an actual spend of £300k on one player !!!

No mention of the rags bent deal wth Chevrolet then? Quelle surprise. The commercial director of General Motors was fired by the board immediately they found out about it bcause he'd exceeded his authority by signing off a $600 million deal when Chevrolet was about to be pulled from the European market. Questions were asked all the way to the White House as to why a corporation (GM) could justify such a ridiculous deal when it had received $11.2 billion of tax payers' money to bail them out.

state sponsored then?

So apparently Everton have been bought by an American company. So how many americans own prem leg clubs now and when will we reach a tipping point where they could vote in favour of either a closed league or worse a super league. If it ever were to happen I think I would hang up my scarf and rattle.
