Clinton morrison is exceptionally annoying, to be fair

When Ancelotti was struggling we had no end of eulogising about Bielsa. Not even a season later and he’s in a relegation battle and probably getting fired. As I said at the time, no manager outside of the top 6 can succeed long term because eventually they’re only a few injuries away from a relegation battle.

To be fair, I still think what Bielsa has done won't be done by anyone in the same way anytime soon - he's recruited extremely well for not a lot of money, comparatively, and it's all players that fit his bizarre style of play he wants from them.

The thing is, when it works it's 100% the best thing you'll see. When it doesn't - it's trash. Similar to what happened with Ranieri after they won the Prem - a few injuries and it's bye bye.

Same thing happened with the RS in Klopp's first season, but he adjusted.

He probably won't get fired as this is his last season anyway, but the Leeds fans I know actually like and want him. They'll sell quite a lot of players anyway for a profit, so idk. Likely they'll stay up, the way this crap season has been going lol

Anyway, he's not won a lot as well, but that doesn't mean he's not a massive influence to a plethora of the greatest managers of the last 20-odd years, you know? Maybe there's a reason Pep, Poch and all the others talk so highly and praise him as an influence, like lol

Edit: I personally prefer Ratcelotti to Bielsa as a manager really. Just proven manager, no experiments, no ridiculous expectations and tinkering all the time, etc.

Is it not just that we watch the PL more than any other league/competition so believe there is something corrupt due to exposure?

Maybe if we were Italian Torino fans watching Serie A every week for example we might say that league is most corrupt etc.

Yeah exactly. I get extremely annoyed watching var decisions in the PL, but being Dutch I also notice the incredible amount of ridiculous decisions by var in de Eredivisie. And it's not that I watch that many live games.

Sod you, Everton.

Having to sit here “happy” that the RS are blasting their way back into title contention.

Too much money, so drugs and corruption follow. It’s happened in sports with a minuscule percentage of football’s money but people want to still pretend that football is the beautiful game and there’s none of this going on.

It’s a closed shop at the top propping up the tv revenues which in turn prop up those clubs supported by the referees when needed.

He'll stay. Conte is going to have them in the Top 4 race next year and they'll have a real shot to win the Europa

Think it all depends on Haaland tbh. He’s the first domino to fall.

Yes. I think Levy will ask for 150m again though and that'll be that.
