    You probably gotta include some 20M matchday income to get to 50M…. The new format will give more money and is heavily performance based, but the EL doesn’t give you 50M yet. ”The maximum amount a club could earn in prize money, including the...
  • Which is better: always looking for the next big thing and only hiring managers for the long term, or is it best to hire managers for the short term? It would be lazy to think of Real Madrid, because of who they are, but even in their case...

    In Italy’s Serie B they have a threshold, it used to be 10 points, now 15 points margin the third needs to avoid playoff and get direct promotion. “The top two teams are automatically promoted and the third place team is only automatically...

    4th father son to win the italian league.
  • His first season was good, in 2017 he had you competing (genuinely competing) with a record-braking Real Madrid side on that UCL tie. Unlucky to lose the first leg with Vidal missing a penalty and Martinez getting a red card… He still made it...

    Milan has better wingers/second striker attacking options... The problem of Milan‘s attack is their main striker. Giroud isn’t the same anymore, and should be a squad player. They Their midfield is alright. I also find Inter’s midfield a bit...

    Deserving champion. Inzaghi has done a great job since taking over. (unsurprisingly Theo and Calabria lose their minds… and Dumfries dragged out with Theo)
  • The only thing you contradict is semifinal of CL being meaningful/meaninglessness, so I take it you agree with the rest of my post…
  • City was in CL semifinal and finished that season 16 points above Chelsea... In Pep‘s first season Chelsea (who also had a new coach) won the league 15 points ahead of City… It is true that Pellegrini underperformed massively (in the league...
