tetsuo posted:according to some very reliable twitter ITKs it was already decided after the chelsea game just an unfortunate look as they happened to win today I’m guessing they didn’t expect the win which is understandable given how they have played this far. Must have been terribly inconvenient for the Board

Whether or not Lampard would be good for Norwich is debatable but I'm pretty certain Norwich wouldn't be good for Lampard. Absolute poison chalice and I would give him close to 0% chance of keeping them up. As previously mentioned this gig isn't his dance based on his prior experience. As much as I was dismayed when Big Sam came to Everton he is exactly what Norwich need now.

Weaponized Cum posted:Is the Scottish League even remotely close to The Championship, though? Less competitive certainly and I would imagine that given the PL parachute payments there is probably more cash splashing around the championship than the SPL but that said managing Rangers (or Celtic for that matter), is still a tough gig and he has done well. Not enough experience for Liverpool yet but I reckon he is ready to cut his teeth in the PL

I think it will be interesting to seer how Stevie G gets on in the PL. If he is really on a path to be Klopp's successor then he needs a decent team in the PL to get some more experience.

Shrapnig posted:No, but here's a weird article from October talking about Everton releasing him at the end of the season with no mention of anything other than he hasn't made any appearances. I'm not sure if the charges were dropped but he claimed to have been blackmailed by an underage girl who had claimed to be over the age of consent. Having admitted the underage part he was never going to play for a PL Team again.

Vegetable posted:Can't believe Everton signed Gylfi for £40m. They really threw around crazy money that couple of years. Yeah that is true - its a sad side effect of being the poor cousin to Liverpool and then having wealthy owners turn up. However, things are looking better and the owners are properly investing in the the club - better training facilities and a new stadium coming. They seem to be focused on building for success rather than pay to win but I guess time will tell

goddamnedtwisto posted:Surely if that was what happened and what the police were investigating they'd have dropped the charges and he'd be off to China or somewhere without tabloids to restart his career? If he has admitted to a criminal offence it could be that it is now being processed to Court; there is s massive backlog of cases following the pandemic so could take quite a while. Keeping a low profile is probably a good idea for now and a s noted earlier the tabloids seem to have lost interest for the moment.

TheRat posted:Nah, outside of his complete post-euros meltdown Maguire is a rock solid player and will continue to be once someone screws his head back on. Especially if Varane can stop exploding. Did they overpay? Sure, 80mil was a lot but he would easily have been worth 60mil or whatever. I have to agree that Maguire is usually solid but not £80mil worth of solid - although with PL transfer fees these days £80mil isn't what it used to be.

I'm sure there will be an almost instant new manager bounce and it will be interesting to see how/if the current crop of players cope with a pressing philosophy because as good as the manager is, if the players cant execute the strategy it wont make much difference.

The problem is every time a 16/17 year old breaks into a PL team every kid in an academy thinks they are next and a load of them take bad career advice thinking the PL teams have their best interests at heart when demonstrably that is not the case.
