I don't know much about this bloke Chelsea are looking to poach from Leicester, but has he done much more than smash up the Championship with a squad with which Steve Bruce could have smashed up the Championship? 

 

Leicester fans dont seem too arsed to see him leave. "Another anti-football Guardiola acolyte" as one fan described him on The Athletic. Most expensive Championship squad assembled (apparently) with the most dour and boring football to watch. 

 

He'll just be keeping the Chelsea hot-seat warm for the next moron.

[Holden McGroin 6608]

Aye. Ive got a Leicester fan mate and he said they play boring football. There some proper grumbles earlier in th season and that’s when they were flying.

Tell them all they have to come back to the office then this. Shady as fuck tactics from Ratcliffe. What a fucking cunt. 

 

Hope Ashworth likes it there.

Looking more and more like it every day. I thought Ratcliffe’s remit only extended to football operations?

It might be ten Hag he’s offered VR to

On the plus side, they might have to drop into the conference league cos Nice are already in the Europe League and got there by finishing higher in Ligue 1. 

 

Ineos are in talks with UEFA and are "confident" everything will be fine, but I'll direct you to Ratcliffe's confidence that they would get Ashworth for a song. 

 

If UEFA don't take a stand here, then this rule basically goes in the bin and it won't be long before clubs under the same ownership are playing one another in semi finals, with all the controversy that would bring.

My money is on UEFA not making a stand  😒

 

Lots of talk of Chelsea declining their Europa League place to avoid FFP scrutiny from UEFA too. We’re only a Villa disqualification due to their fans abysmal accent away from the CL group stages tbh

It would be hilarious after ALL THE HARD WORK Erik has done and then Sir Jim single handedly gets them demoted to another competition.

It would make sense, especially as Chelsea are now only in the conference. Are they actually allowed to do that though? I.e. you’d think there’d be sanctions 

[ewerk 30647]

You're invited to join European competitions aren't you? I don't think there's an obligation to play in them.

[ewerk 30647]

Also, what's happening with Man City and Girona both being in the CL next season?

Plus it’s not like the financial benefit of playing in the conference league would do anything to help their shitty financial performance since Abramovich left so it’s almost a lose / lose for them. Ah well, we’ll take that problem off their hands.

You'd be forgiven for thinking we'd recently missed out on qualifying for Europe.

Fuck sake. There’s one relegation spot taken which protects Everton again.

Kompany announced as Bayern manager. SSN felt the need to point out that Alonso, Nagelsmann and Rangnick all knocked them back and that's the only reason he got the job

I listened to the Monday Night club. They had a German jurno on. Apparently he was about 8th in line for it 😂

They will also make sure that Newcastle will only face top clubs away from home.

 

There will also be extra time if Liverpool et al are just two goals down after 90 minutes.
