Brighton just broke their transfer record today and it's still £2m less than Newcastle paid for Mickey Owen 12 years ago.

That seems like loads of people, both let go and work there generally. Any idea what the average is at other PL clubs?

Newcastle finished 7th in 2006 and won a "trophy", City was 15th.

Blackburn, Bolton, West Ham, Wigan, Fulham, Charlton, and Boro finished ahead of City.

Leicester was 16th, in the Championship.

It's a funny old game.

I was wrong.

Well, that's it, that proves it: Mourinho is the greatest manager to ever have graced European soccer. He is a god among men. He could lose every match from now on and still be cool.

Watford have just sacked Marco Silva.

He'll probably turn up at Southampton shortly.

This would be too perfect. Excluding promoted teams this season, Southampton and Bournemouth and Burnley are the only teams outside the top 6 that haven't sacked their managers. Gotta imagine there's not long left for Pellegrino either.


It's really funny to look back at the articles in around October talking about the Watford system being confirmed as the future of football after barely a dozen games.

I remember seeing a few articles about how Klopp is close to losing the faith of Liverpool fans and may be sacked before the end of 2016 just after they lost their second game of that season 2-0 away to Burnley.

Basically football media is just a massive con where people spin new narratives based on the most recent events, or in the case of transfer rumours they just make this stuff up out of thin air.

Can't knock it though. It seems pretty funny now remembering the articles from August last year where writers were convinced that Man Utd were going to walk the league with attacking football.

Was Silva tempted to move? I guess it could undermine his ability to lead the players if they all think he's leaving, but I don't know how long or involved Everton's overtures were.
