Part of accepting football is knowing that pep will always have everyone cheat to make him look good. Danielle Ferrari, Operacion Puerto, the loving disgrace, adriano choking nasri. Its part of modern football like people pretending climate changing causing slave lords slamming money into a dead horse shouting run you nag is just the same as a official taiwanese knockoff scaletrex sponsor.  make this the tbp background

Very good in fact. brasstassels posted:https://twitter.com/utdxtra/status/1130883622209249281?s=19 Well he was never leaving this summer anyway after being given a one year extension. I'm hoping this is a Valencia type captaincy, where he won't actually play and the on-field captain will be oh let's say... Moe. But if he's actually in Solskjaer's plans for next season in any meaningful way then the club's truly lost the plot (again).

Most of the people doing it seem to be ex footballers so it doesn't seem like it's an extremely technical role otherwise thick ex-footballers couldn't do it.

Norwich's is basically in charge of everything to do with football. So he appoints the manager, all the scouting staff, all the academy staff, and they all answer to him and do his bidding. Imagine Rio Ferdinand trying to do that for Man United.

If he isn't going to sign a new contract I'd rather United get the money for him this summer instead of letting him gently caress off on a free at the end of next season.

This sort of article is so bad. They interview some successful team and allow the analytics guy to take credit for a bunch of the good stuff. They never talk about the analytics guy who fucks everything up.

They never talk about the analytics guy who fucks everything up. The article sort of covers how much criticism Edwards was getting before Liverpool hit a fortunate streak, but you do have a good point. It'd be nice to see a dissection of a club recovering from a situation where all the data science went wrong. I'd love to see where the blame ends up lying there.
