Pellegrini finished 1, 2, 4. Pep is 3,1,1,2,1. Mancini was 5,3,1. So clear gradual progression
Actually what applies here is completely on the qazi(judge), whether he decides to punish you or leave you with a warning and a promise not repeat.
Well said. You could either start from the botton and build success upon good decision making and intelligent investment (like Dortmund) or you could take the Chelsea, City, Newcastle route, intresting choices.
They are looking for ROI. No doubt about that in my mind. PIF is not a single billionaire playing with money. It’s a fund meant to diversify Saudi and prepare it for the post oil age.
already forgot Malaga and their unlucky loss to Dortmund 7-8 years ago? literally 2 minutes away from CL semifinal thanks to their Qatari owner. Getafe was also on its way to be sold to some business group from Dubai, but they went to court for some reason and it never happened.
I'm a bit drunk and misread this as "the atrocoties West Ham has.."
I didn't say you can't criticise Saudis I said don't act like you have some sort of moral highground over Newcastle fans who are excited about their new situation.
Read my statements. I never said you can't criticise the Saudis I said don't be so tone death to call Newcastle fans embarrassing or try to hold the moral high ground because they are excited about improvements tot their club and city.
Even if it did they wouldn't fall down the leagues.
It's a hilarious amount of hypocrisy in the ether considering the history of arms deals between the two countries. Like if the Government can take billions for arms, and the league allow the deal, then don't be 'disappointed' with the fans for celebrating the end of Ashley.
So your going to claim you don't know that the majority of the technology you play with day to day is made in child labour factories? Wow
Many good points - I kind of understand Newcastle-fans. But at the same time - it is another nail in the coffin of football. Reaching top-4 was hard before - now you will have yet another wealthy club throwing around money. I really feel for Leicester - doing everything right, but now they could be overrun by the biggest joke of a club in the last 25 years. You look at the 100 biggest transfer flops of the P.L - and I guarantee Newcastle have between 10-15 of the players. And then you look at the 100 best signings of the Premier League and they might have 2 or 3.
What are you on about? The UK still has huge presence in Africa and owns alot of the natural land that produces money in the country. To this very day the UK steals from Africa
And if people were dancing in the streets or writing grovelling open letters to Apple, because they got a new iphone, they'd be mocked as well.
Wouldn't surprise me to see them target Simeone. Depending on your perspective, he's one of the big 4 serial winners around at the moment (alongside Guardiola, Klopp and Tuchel).
But that cognitive dissonance is the common default for most of us in this part of the world. I'm not defending it.
Congratulations. You are todays champion in the International Whataboutery games.
Why is the moral onus on Geordies and not the League or the Government. The British Taxpayer and the Saudis have a long cosy mutually beneficial relationship.
People literally do all of that for new apple products. Just type in Apple launch of any product and you have Apple fans celebrating. We have threads on this forum where people argue over Apple stuff.
Moral onus is not on them, but you’d expect some self respect and self awareness. Maybe not I guess.
Yeah some football fans don't excel there, and that's not news. Also what about the self awareness of the British taxpayer who is put out by their celebrations? The relationship is decades long and has been questioned by lots of people. If you're ok with arms deals then the dancing of Geoprdies is nowt.
To be honest I don't have an issue with anyone here it's the same dissonance I get in the threads about race where people struggle when you hold a mirror to their face. I just find it silly that people are somehow trying to hold the moral highground over Newcastle fans as if the Newcastle fans have any able to control the Saudi government and are not just excited that they have some excitement in their city and team again. Just sounds bitter or at worse hypocritical or tone death.
And that's also utterly moronic to me. Probably even more than these Newcastle fans.
Ah I'm not.
I agree with you. What I'm saying is I'm not surprised.

It's also about the taxpayer. I'm not sure being quiet over an arms deal is any less morally outrageous than celebrating the purchase of a football club.
I kinda get the drunk youngsters outside of St James', as silly as I thnk they are.
Yeah, putting it in print is kinda shocking.
I think it's perfectly reasonable to criticise Newcastle fans, to be honest. I'd be excited to get rid of the Glazers, but not for something worse.
They deserve to be pointed at, laughed and riduculed after those scenes yesterday. Call that however you like.
You're a few hundred years off there.
