My guess is that Nate was suppose to have a bigger spiral and/or realize the corrupting influence in a more grand way of Anthony Head's character. It feels like they just kinda abandonded the story half way through the arc, which is a shame because Nick Mohammed feels like a super talented actor.

Yeah it all made very little sense. He quit his EPL head coaching job (where he's doing great) because his boss wanted him to bang hookers with him one night?

Also the way the EPL determines its champion is very good, but it doesn't make for compelling drama most of the time. Seems like the team had to do great basically the entire season because otherwise it's not believable they could be in the running. Plus seems to me like this season would be a resounding success for Richmond in real life even if they didn't win the league title, so that drama is gone too.

Jade having blank facial expressions all the time is supposed to be a joke too I guess? It's another thing that seems like it's being done as a joke, but there isn't an actual joke there.

It was a real shock when she said yes to a date with Nate because I thought she absolutely hated him up to that point.

And she would have had a lot of good reason to! He seemed like he was a bad day away from becoming a stalker.

They point to Keeley over and over this season as vaguely PR for the individual players/also a dating app or something/also marketing for the team and it all adds up to I think she's Vincent Adultman but she doesn't know it. Everyday she goes to work and does a business and Rebecca pats her on the head and pays her employees.

Since it’s Ted Lasso adjacent, I wanted to let those in this thread who don’t follow soccer as much know that the Champion’s League Final, aka the Super Bowl of club soccer, is about to start between Manchester City and Inter Milan. Americans can watch it on regular old CBS.

Turned it on, and a Man City dude is pretending to be hurt. Replay shows he didn't react to the guy kinda tapping him on the head until he knew he'd botched a touch and turned it over.

Nate should be super hot poo poo by the end of the season. He coached West Ham into contention for the title (although they were apparently out of contention by the end) and bailed on a toxic owner without talking poo poo in public about him. You really NEED a scene of him turning down head coaching offers and explaining why he'd put up with an assistant job again.

I’m sorry are people really suggesting more of this awful little goblin man

No, he should go coach a different team and disappear from the show completely.
