With Chelsea, apparently the reason Pochetino leaving was by mutual consent was because they weren’t happy that he hadn’t pulled a miracle out of his arse (despite their strong finish to the season), and he wasn’t happy that Todd Boehly was refusing to give him a significant say in transfers.
Can’t say I blame Poch for wanting to go in that situation. I expect he’ll land on his feet. Meanwhile, Chelsea will continue to flounder while their clown of an owner is meddling.
Poch basically did pull a miracle tbh.
I was worried they might find their stride under Poch next season. The way Arteta speaks about Poch was telling. I’m glad to see them sabotage themselves like this.
Kompany to Munchen makes nooooooo sense. That’s like Wayne Rooney to Chelsea or something
I would pay to see Rooney manage Chelsea lol
Oh no doubt. I actually think it’d be funny if Yanited asked him, but the Glazers aren’t that dumb. Also I think from one of the podcasts, Rooney has mentioned Yanited has an atmosphere that old players aren’t really welcomed.
The Glaziers might not be, but their new owner who appears to be calling the shots might be. Go on Ratcliffe, do it!
Oh I will have the popcorn ready
And there goes the Invincible Leverkusen. It was fun while it lasted.
As someone who has struggled to win a trophy with Atalanta for 10 seasons on FM now, idk whether to be happy or angry lol.
On the bright side, Kolašinac won the Europa League.😝
Ahh… that’s kinda sad. Still a momentous effort on their part
That article regarding Viv not liking Jonas and the direction where the team is going…tbf I share the sentiment.
Lopetegui is West Ham’s new manager. Feels like a merry-go-round of managers already.
I know he wasn’t already hired but honestly it feels like he was in the PL not even that long ago.
He didn’t do so well with wolves
