I think he is referring to the gap widening even further. Top 6 already is a closed shop more or less, this success with lots of extra money helps feed that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsX Posted 10 May 2019 Share Posted 10 May 2019 6 hours ago, Finnegan said: I actually worry, I hope this year is a bit of a one off. The Italians and French are already angling for more advanced talks in European Super Leagues because they see themselves getting left behind. The last thing we need is the Spanish and Germans keen on the idea because the English start winning everything. This. But maybe a ray of hope -- if the top PL clubs are having it and eating it too, will they be receptive to sharing the cake? The proposal revealed last month was a naked attempt to tilt the money back toward Italy. Meaning “out of the PL clubs”. If new ESL revenues don’t much improve UK balance sheets, won’t Woodward et al dig in for more? Billionaires squabbling over the next billions might at least slow the damn thing down. An ESL would not sell as well without the Manchester clubs and Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniFox21 Posted 10 May 2019 Share Posted 10 May 2019 This is a weird, weird extract from the interview. It feels as if this is a sly dig at Levy or hints he may leave? Usual a manager would talk on what they want to do or achieve, but something doesn't feel right here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their team is in need of a rebuild, most of their pros are ageing and need transitioning out. he'd be able to build the team how he wanted whilst using the old guard and transitioning them out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingsX Posted 11 May 2019 Share Posted 11 May 2019 The worst kept secret in soccer is out. Mike Phelan has been named as Manchester United’s assistant manager on a three-year deal. Phelan, 56, has been Ole Gunnar Solskjaer‘s assistant since December when the pair were placed in caretaker charge following Jose Mourinho’s firing. With Solskjaer appointed as the new head coach on a permanent basis last month following a stunning start to life as a caretaker boss, Phelan has had to wait but his place alongside Solskjaer has now been confirmed. A long-time assistant under Sir Alex Ferguson, Phelan held that role as Fergie’s assistant from 2008-13 and was first team coach from 2001 before that. “I am thrilled to be back as assistant manager. Manchester United has been a huge part of my life since I joined as a player in 1989 and I am delighted to be able to continue that relationship in this key role,” Phelan said. “Since returning in December, I have enjoyed working with Ole, Michael, Kieran, Mark and Emilio and we are all focused on preparing for the new season.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
