Other club football

It's always unpleasant for anyone to lose their job, especially if they have gone above and beyond.

On the other hand it's entirely reasonable for new owners to bring in their own people, and want to make significant changes from the clusterfuck that handed control to them in the first place.

It looks like an interesting project, and it's a quite unusual appointment for a team at that level (very young, elite level experience - albeit not in the hot seat, a cultural departure from the rest of football in this country). I shall keep an eye on them with interest, and hope that for the fans it goes well.

This Issak/Nuke hassle statement wars is quite interesting.

If I was Liverpool I'd table a lower bid, stating the player is not worth what he was a week ago.

I have thought, for some time, that it might occur to them at some point that it might be cheaper to financially dope saudi clubs, and buy their entry to the champions (sic) league, than get nuke castle to the level where they are ahead of the historic mega-clubs, and the already financially doped clubs, in england. It's got to be the most expensive territory to get a PSG level dominance, and probably not possible at all to remain ahead of the existing big hitters here......so they will look at alternatives.

If it's a global game, all about "winners" and "celebrity players", followed largely by gamblers, they can ultimately just cut us out of the process. Community already means nothing. History will be next.

A very large part of me would like to see Wet Hams hump chelski. But I fear it's not to be.

....it's the hope that kills you.
