    Ange departs

    USA 0-4 Switzerland. Maybe we should wait a few days.

    Ange departs

    I feel the same way. I think it worth remembering that it wasn't just one bad league season. He had an excellent start over his first ten games, but the league performance since then was poor. 12 losses from 28 games and 22 losses from 38. That's losing over half the league games (34/66) over...

    The press seem to be saying James will start at left-back, with Jones on the right.

    Ange departs

    A shame it came to this, but I think it was inevitable. If he'd been retained there would have been ongoing speculation every time we got a bad result. P.S. Ange got the chance to prove he can win a trophy in his second year, what's his record in the third?

    Circus ManUnitus - Nobody's At The Wheel

    If they'd started in 2005 when the Glazer's bought the club, the £600 debt the Glazers put on the club would have been enough build an excellent stadium. A billion pound stadium then would have been incredible. The extra revenue they have lost by selling to the Glazers instead of building the...

    Donna Cullen gone...first of the changes?

    I don't get the impression this was forced. Levy's comments were almost verbose in his thanks. Maybe the other changes meant she brought forward her retirement a year or two and she felt it better to leave now than commit to several more years. She was often the public face of the club...

    The Stats Thread

    Does that mean our players were running like headless chickens? It's interesting that the "laziest" team were the bigger over-achievers.

    Ange departs

    I'm inclined to think Sunday killed off any chance of him staying. Winning a trophy after showing some tactical flexibility in the latter rounds, followed by a good performance and win in final game of the season would have ended on a positive. Instead, another dire loss after leading just...

    Here's the table from 19 December: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024–25_Premier_League&oldid=1263972818#League_table Second in goals for (behind Chelsea), equal third in goals conceded (behind Liverpool and Arsenal), third in GD, one worse than Liverpool and Chelsea, but 13 and...

    Ange departs

    Yes, as I mentioned, before the Liverpool 6-3 loss we were top four for goals scored, goals conceded and goal difference. Iirc, we were top two or three in a couple of them. But we were already something like ten points adrift, even when our defence was one of the best. It could be bad luck or...

    Ange departs

    I'm torn about giving another season, based on the goals record. Is there something freaky about this season or is it related to Ange's strategy. We are currently second for goals scored, 6th on GD, and mid-table on goals conceded despite all the injuries. Before the Liverpool game we were top...

    Football and money

    I suppose a mitigating factor is they will only pay the wages for the duration of the loan. As wages are paid for the whole year, this is effectively a discount on wages while active.

    Cheatski are still scum

    Iirc, the CPO voted in favour of the Abramovich proposal, but without the necessary super-majority. I'd expect them to support it. Presumably they get a cut of any property build on the old Stamford Bridge.

    The Official 2024/25 Premier League Thread

    The red is supposedly for serious foul play, which is questionable. However, there is a case that a cynical foul with no attempt to play the ball should be a red card offence. It's essentially just kicking the opponent.

    Circus ManUnitus - Nobody's At The Wheel

    The Glazers are still the majority owners. They can't believe their luck in attracting someone willing to pay big money to draw attention away from them. They'd have even worse coverage sacking low paid employees, cutting free staff lunches, reducing Christmas bonuses, and cancelling donations...

    Circus ManUnitus - Nobody's At The Wheel

    All the mocking of clubs sacking their managers. United didn't work that way because they were a different class. It's true they gave Ferguson time, but that was a different era and followed years of trying to replace Busby. United have built their success on two incredible managers who were...
