Busy news day! Real more tantrums this time regarding balon d'or which was always crazy, but i think Rodri winning it is quite far as he "achieved" more success than Vini and these kinda players deserve more recognition.

Ten hag gone, which all it does as Wombat pointed out, how utter trash Ineos did in handling the whole situation. Should have went ages ago.

Xavi, Potter, Southgate or Naglesmann i think it will be, in that order too, dont think Naglesmann will get too distracted by it being German coach going into a world cup.

I must say I find it pretty pathetic that certain players really value and make it known that they’re driven by the Ballon D’Or, but don’t partake in the ceremony if they get wind they’re not gonna win it

Either say fuck it and focus on winning things for your team, or give it importance, don’t pick and choose

Cole Palmer is insane - gives me a bit of De Bruyne Vibes - offensive midfielder with a lot of drive for goal, full of confidence, technically sound, can score from anywhere but also play that killer pass. To me he's the most complete player in the PL at the moment.

He has a haircut that is as stylish as prime Zuck, but from what I've seen from him on the pitch, he's absolutely brilliant. He does things that would make you say 'well done, but that works maybe once in 20 times' but when he does it it works every time. He's also in the right spot for loose balls a lot.

Associated Press reporting that Ruben Amorim is the number one target and has a 10m euro release clause.

Idk that I would go if I was him, but I can see why he would be high on the wishlist

Normally I'd say of course they have someone lined up. But it's ManU and it's a shitshow so I actually don't think there is someone fixed yet.

Also Real lol. Gosh I hate that club with a passion.
Rumor is, beeing an asshat cost Vini the title with these beeing the main criteria:
- Individual performance
- Team performance
- Sportmanship and conduct

if ManUtd had someone ready to take over that person would have already been announced imo...

Local feedback is that they are proposing stuff to Amorim but still in negotiation, no actual agreement yet.

I dont think its good for united (same reasons i listed earlier this year for chelsea or liverpool) or for Ruben....utd is in shambles. I get it that some doors do not open twice but just look at ten hag. His image is really broken internationally now, how long will it take for him to get another top club?

If he wants to go back to Ajax, I wouldn't be surprised if Ajax dumps that Italian and welcomes him with open arms. The club has been in shambles, and while that is more on the loss of Overmars than ten Hag, imho, he was an excellent manager for the club. Of course, returning to Ajax at the moment, I doubt he'd be able to repeat his first tenure there...

Also can I reiterate again how pathetic Real Madrid have been over the Ballon D’Or and boycotting attending?

A Premier League player hasn’t won it since 2008, and before that I believe it was Michael Owen if memory serves

No club on Earth benefits more from it than Real. Players who dream of winning it and are motivated by it move there (and to Barca) because it’s seen as the necessary move to win it.

Sorry to harp on, this really, really irritated me. Eugh such an unlikeable club

Back to more pertinent issues, Amorim might be a decent appointment but fuck me United are a shambles. Did they sound him out over the summer when they were doing their ‘we have faith in you Erik we couldn’t find someone better’ tour? I just don’t know if it’s a good move for Amorim

United didn’t just keep Ten Haag, they extended his contract as well, so they had to pay more in severance.

This in the same year as they sacked a bunch of regular workers to save money, and dragged people back into the office because ‘Sir’ Jim Ratcliffe doesn’t like remote working.

The Glazers are and were distant parasites, but if anything I think the Ineos are even worse. They’re seemingly no more competent and they’re actively heartless bastards

For sure but going back home would not fall under my view of top club. Granted current united is what it is, but its still a big EPL club.

Im not seeing ten hag in EPL big clubs anytime soon.

They allegedly approached him last year but he had just signed a new contract.

Sporting has already communicated to our equivalent of SEC that united has expressed their desire to pay amorim clause.

Fabrizio already has a video on it.

Not sure if that's true. Farioli is performing as good as you can expect. Third in the league with two games less played and fourth in the Europa League. Kicking him out does not make much sense. Don't think Ten Hag is interested though.

Yeah Amorim screams a good coach, whether he has enough to fix Yanited straight away we will find out, but i think it would be a smart appointment, he might need 18 months though, but i think they have a good coach if he can adapt to Yanited and the premier league within that time frame.

Oh great Brazilian media are also gurning about the Ballon D’Or, Jesus H Christ. To pick one off the BBC article I read

Gustavo Faldon, sports editor for the Brazilian daily Estadao said: "The [treatment of] Vincius was the biggest injustice in the history of Ballon d'Or.

"The fact that he is Brazilian, plays for Real Madrid, and is a forward should have worked in his favour in the history of the award."


No, none of these should work in your favour, at all.

They haven’t won as many European Cups sure, Man City are just as elite a club than Real Madrid, they play in a more competitive league, arguably Real have kinda outperformed their level in Europe recently. IMO City are a better side, just haven’t always shown it.

Henry not winning in IIRC 2003, or Wesley Sneijder in 2010 were far, far more questionable decisions than this one

Also, Rodri was key in the Spanish team winning the Euros. It's not all about club football...

lol at vinicius and rm crying. it just exemplifies the privilege and lack of sportsmanship both rm and vinicius show.
he didnt even deserve it anyway, rodri is a better player plain and simple.

theres no dm better than rodri atm, whereas currently vinicius isnt even the best left forward in his own team. id have mbappe over vinicius any day.

in united news, im not getting hyped for amorim at all. his credentials seem impressive but ten hag was the exact same if not better before he came too. good luck is all
