From the article linked in the tweet:

"The Club has received a stable triple B negative rating from credit rating agency Fitch"

Someone chime in, but I'm pretty sure that, at least in finance, this is considered below investment grade. If not, it's the lowest rating you can have without being considered "junk". Not a good look either way.

It's is indeed the lowest rating you can have before being considered a junk bond.

Nah, his career kinda petered out after the 2010 WC.

He didn't actually retire until 2018.

i have a very efective idea can someone pass it to those in the know. ITK!!!

just before kick off when the cameras are on, the team forms a circle chain chanting very loudly, "NEGRITO! NEGRITO! NEGRITO!

Then in the midddle out pops a smiling glen johnson pulling up his jersey to reveal a t-shirt of suarez with a text saying. "OUR SUAREZ IS A FRIEND TO ALL COLOURS!"

this all ends with a loud "we willl never walk alone!" war cry from all the players1

I'm picture the backdrop as smaller ground, maybe somewhere in the Northwest of England.

Ok, that time Spain was eliminated in a third consecutive international tournament on penalties after their manager told them that they have to practice their penalties during the club season specifically to avoid this situation.
