vyelkin posted:Supposedly Schalke really wanted an obligation to buy on the loan because they're in financial trouble but Liverpool said no, so there's an option to buy but only if we think he's good enough. Given that context, it does seem like a weird statement. I made a similar statement when I was seconded from my team at work for a couple of weeks last year.

Was he a jerk at United? I thought the only problem with him was that he was injured a lot.

Bundy posted:What's happened to Celtic and why is it considered Brendan Rodgers' fault They’ve been stagnating - partially due to a lack of proper competition as Rangers rebuilt, partially because they’d hit a ceiling in terms of funds and capability outside of establishing themselves in European competitions proper*, and this season they had a really, really, absolutely horrible transfer window** where they paid £15m on absolute shite and one decent prospect. And then kept Neil Lennon in charge even though he doesn’t like doing things like ‘training’ or ‘analysis’. Also the masons. * This is the bit that’s Brenda’s fault, he didn’t really get them over that hump. **Their £5m goalkeeper can’t even dive

Bundy posted:What's happened to Celtic and why is it considered Brendan Rodgers' fault Rodgers hosed off mid title challenge which led to ..... Lazy managerial of Lennon rather than putting effort into finding a more modern and technical manager. Lennon ended up having some sort of falling out with the players at the start of the season and it's obvious they've chucked it. We've also had a ludicrous series of problems with players and covid restrictions to the extent I think total meatlove has done some sort of deal with the devil. quote:partially because they’d hit a ceiling in terms of funds and capability outside of establishing themselves in European competitions proper quote:they had a really, really, absolutely horrible transfer window** where they paid £15m on absolute shite and one decent prospect.

AVB is absolutely not quitting just over Ntcham, it's just the latest annoyance of many this year which has been an absolute shitshow for French football in all honesty, he was never going to stay past the end of the season regardless and I'm pretty sure once supporters stormed the training ground and got a match postponed it was probably just, whatever the next thing was, would be it like others have said he's been trying to get out for months and I don't blame him

The Perfect Element posted:Is there a decent summary of what's going on in French football somewhere? Here is the abbreviated version: -LFP, the French league, agreed a deal with Mediapro back in 2018 for Mediapro to cover Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 games starting in 2020. -Mediapro offered an absurd amont of money, way more than other offers, including Canal+, who historically had carried the league matches on its network for years and years. -LFP agreed to this deal despite a lot of people expressing concern over the figures involved and Mediapro’s ability to pay. - Mediapro and LFP’s contract began for the 2020-2021 season, Mediapro made 1 payment in August 2020 then demanded to renegotiate due to the COVID pandemic -LFP told them “gently caress you, pay me” and they went to court where Mediapro agreed to pay €100m to terminate their contract -LFP then allowed for companies to bid for the rights Mediapro had, and LFP got owned when Amazon, DAZN, and Discovery bid way lower than what LFP was hoping for, and Canal+ and BeIN told them to gently caress off and didn’t even bid. -LFP eventually agreed a deal with Canal+ to cover the rest of the season at a greatly reduced cost, and the league is getting roughly half of what they would have with the Mediapro deal Clubs are going to be in some serious financial states due to the vastly reduced income.

After working in Russia, which randomly and arbitrarily changes foreign player quotas to placate Putin (who does not know poo poo about football or sports or sports management) and "to help the national team", and China, which randomly and arbitrarily sets up salary caps to placate the CCP (who does not know poo poo about football or sports or sports management) and to "help the national team", AVB has probably seen enough of anything that can fall into the broad category of "bullshit" that his tolerance for it is very low
