Luis Castro from USL Dunkerque in Ligue 2 Ligue 1 is about to enter a financial crisis again because the broadcaster DAZN and the league are engaged in a legal battle over contractual breaches/missed payments and the league voted to terminate the broadcasting contract – no other broadcaster is going to offer nearly as much money, and basically everyone except PSG is going to be fuched without any broadcasting income. So that means poaching a manager from France might become very easy. https://www.lequipe.fr/Medias/Actualites/Le-college-de-ligue-1-opte-pour-une-rupture-avec-dazn-en-fin-de-saison/1554542

Marinakis has close ties with Jorge Mendes, it wouldn't be hugely surprising if he channeled a lot of agent fees through Olympiacos or just straight under the table rather than reporting them all. It's a shame that the FIFA proposal to have players pay their own agent fees/comissions rather than the club paying them got rejected.

Harvey has always been a streaky player though, he goes on runs of excellent form and follows it up with 5 or 6 games where he's anonymous. With Anthony Gordon being injured, Barnes has come back into the fold and gotten good returns. Three goals and two assists in the last 4 PL games, I've read plenty of Toon fans saying he's made a claim to still be starting when Gordon returns edit: for context Harvey has 8 goals and 3 assists in only 1167 league minutes, Gordon has 6 goals and 6 assists in 2136 minutes (almost twice as many)

goal and an assist for Ayoze against Betis, the first match Betis have lost in over 2 months

gonna take a guess and say he'll leave Chelsea by mutual consent after the final game and then be announced as Sevilla's new manager 24 hours later

Said he doesn't want to manage another English club

At least the shop being down won't have negatively affected the sales of the patchwork "Northern Wild" £120 jacket or the £200 "King Power VarCity" bomber jacket, or the "Never Fear Born to Win" jersey eh lads

Saw on facebook someone said it's ransomware? No idea if that's true but I wouldn't be surprised 😆

Exactly, I wouldn't be surprised if they were there at other "glamour tie" away games in the past, and they're given a stadium tour as well!

I wasn't defending their behaviour just to be clear, was trying to say it's a club-driven initiative to accomodate them, and with the club's active disinterest in the actual match-going fans, that I don't think that raising a formal complaint would get anywhere because their "commercial interests" take priority. I can remember the Calgary group being there on at least two occasions before the pandemic at away games too - Old Trafford was one and I think Anfield another.

Not tourists, the club has a partnership with Calgary Blizzard. We send coaches over to run a football camp in Calgary every summer and invited some of their team over for a game, they've come over for games multiple times in the past https://www.facebook.com/CalgaryBlizzardSoccerClub/photos/leicester-camp-is-back-this-summer-anyone-who-has-attended-previously-knows-this/1168149978646460 https://facebook.com/CalgaryBlizzardSoccerClub/photos/a.3537111119734738/4245215265590983/ In fact the partnership was how we scouted our former youth GK Chituru Odunze who now plays for Charlotte FC

Luis Castro, manager at USL Dunkerque (Ligue 2). Previously managed Benfica B He had them winning 2-0 against PSG on Tuesday night in the French Cup semi-finals until PSG scored from a wrongly-given corner and equalised by a deflected long-range shot, then predictably Paris's mega millions won out in the second half. But they were playing bloody good defensively and their counter-attacks, and control of possession in the limited amount of time they did have the ball, were excellent. If luck had gone Dunkerque's way a bit more then they might have even been winning 3-0 or 4-1 as they had some other high quality chances that were missed. In the first half they nullified PSG's strengths beautifully, you wouldn't have thought you were watching Ligue 2 players, more like an upper mid table top flight side. They beat Lille and Brest in the earlier cup rounds too so he clearly knows how to play against top teams. But of course, Rudkin hasn't heard of him, and even if he had, Castro hasn't managed in the Premier League so we'd never go for him

Clothing collection designed with Herbert Grönemeyer whose song is Bochum's anthem, and to reflect the region's industrial heritage Quite cool, part of the proceeds will go to supporting youth social programs in the city. I'm tempted to buy one of the shirts but I fear for my wallet if the prices are like the ones from 1860 Munich's collection from the same brand 😆

"KPFC: rotten from top to bottom" would fit on the banner as a compromise tbf Fair fuchs to ozvaldo for organising it either way though

If there's a form to fill in then that's easy enough "Disability: Physical and mental health problems induced by long-term addiction to supporting Leicester City Football Club, including manifestation of heart palpitations, stress, and clinical depression."

Available for selection on Monday edit: Sunday even!

Viveash is still out of a job – with how much the club love hiring ex-Cov staff you'd think offering him a a role here would be a no-brainer!

Can Union FS do another Let Slip The Dogs of War tifo but with Vestergaard the one holding the leads?

Arsenal have their own training ground dog too to help with morale But we can gather that Jannik's hasn't had the same effect

Josh Knight scored for Hannover against Nürnberg in the Bundesliga 2

Slight correction: the game against Tottenham was rained off, and Spurs couldn't reschedule so a behind-closed-doors friendly against a Thai team (Port FC) had to hastily be arranged. Then nobody knew what was happening because Port posted on their social media to advertise the match then deleted the posts and said it was "on hold", because they initially said fans who had tickets to the Spurs game could attend the Port game, only to realise that local licensing laws prohibited spectators for such a hastily-put-together fixture 😂

PepsiCo once managed to trade billions of dollars of their product for a large chunk of the Soviet Russian naval fleet (briefly making a soft drinks company the 6th largest navy in the world before they sold it for scrap) That's already a better track record than Rudkin

Think of all the Free Larb Flavoured Biscuit Sticks you can have at the Man U home game!

Will you be, once again, raising the issue of the meeting's minutes taking over a month to be released, and asking why it has again taken so long? At this point it's clear the club are actively interested in delaying their release for as long as possible.
