Manchester City Group have bought Palermo. Feckin crap 

 

Hope their ultras kick-off. Horrific that they do all that hard work with the supporters to get back up the pyramid and then oil money football pyramid scheme buys you.

Tasting opener as well with Bayern having to play at Eintracht. They'd done similar in Bundesliga 2's opener (only a month away) - Kaiserslautern on their return hosting Hannover

Half planning Bochum trips now the fixtures are out.

Weekend of 9th October looks like Ligue Un having a weekend of derbies; probably say the two of the biggest in France won't be played this season, so whether this their way of making it up.

The club is a basket case. The injection of money by the multi millionaire has done **** all. Can’t really do anything with their ground situation. I think most would say well why not do a Hamburg or a Schalke? They have, multiple times and come back but still feck it up.

I wonder if this is point Amazon starting charging it as an extra add kn rather than including football in the standard Prime package.

True but it does fit with their model if they have the group stages. Ie. Get a load using Amazon for Christmas gifts etc
