Guardiola looks broken to me.

It genuinely wouldn't surprise me if he stepped down even though he's just signed a new contract.

They have an ageing squad with many of their ‘star’ players, or those they rely on, now north of thirty and reaching into the mid 30s.

For a manager who relies on a system that requires a mixture of talent and energy, it’s been a perfect storm, when you consider acquisitions have been poor.

They need a rebuild, but can they really afford to with the charges facing them? Only they will know.

Course they can. Charges or not they’re still backed by a whole country regardless.
 
Sad day for Everton; we no longer hold the crown for worst run football club in the land.

Wolves swerved off Mendes as a contact, ended up with Gary O'Neil, who performed wonders to keep them up.

Then the had a complete Meltdown, stripped captaining, complete disharmony and went back to Mendes and are about to appoint mad man Vitor as manager.

No way this ends well, surely?

They've very handily just announced last week £780m or so profits for the last financial year. That ought to allow them plenty of wiggle room in the transfer market. If they're still struggling I guess they could just have the Kingdom of Abu Dhabi sponsor their u7's toilets for £300m or something.

Their squad is actually quite unbalanced when you look at it closely tbh, basically its: 2 x GK, 2 x FB, 5 x CB, 7 x CM/AMC, 3 x WF, 1 x FW, plus a few youth team players. 10 of those players are age 29 or over (mostly over)
