The Premier League Thread

[Scouseinthehouse]

1860 Munich got relegated to the third tier but apparently the owner didnt put the money up for registration so they will be in amatuer footie next season. Such a shame club with a lot of history be am epic save on FM18 though....

So in one month's work before he jumped ship, the *** pest Hells Angel wannabe Ian Ayre managed to oversee not only a relegation but a freefall all the way to the amateur leagues!

Why would you NOT want this man as your CEO? He's a riot!

Can't get into the European Cup final hype at all.

Probably need to get past two foreign Nations getting to experience the best ground to watch a final in the Continent for me in a boss City. Man I miss going Cardiff! .

Unbelievable. Was a handy bit of steel in the middle of the park. RIP big fella.

Can't believe! Wanted him at Utd at one point. RIP Tiote

 

[ninjaskill]

Sad news, still remember his belter of a shot in the 4-4 draw with Arsenal, RIP Tiote

R.I.P Tiote, he was as good a combative midfielder there was in the PL for a good while. Gone too soon.

Uefa floats limiting squad sizes and imposing luxury taxes on richest clubs to level the playing field

Something certainly needs doing. This has gotten WELL out of hand.

No, as long as the loaning team pays his wages. he's essentially off the book and in some cases, drawing a monthly loan fee. So they are all making profit.

They tried this in Croatia to stop dinamo who have a monopoly there using another first division team as essentially there second squad by loaning them a ton of players. The day the ban was announced dinamo gave them seven players on free transfers all of whom they can get back for free whenever they want, so it will be hard to enforce as for example Chelsea could just send a bunch of players to Vitesse with a deal where they can take them back when they please

I highly doubt they'd leave themselves as open to such exploitation as that if they brought something like this in like they have with the aforementioned FFP bunkum.

Chelsea and City facing potential investigation for tapping up van Dijk. Which presumably would lead to Arsenal as they talked to him. Chelsea being talked about as the same on L'pool for Solanke. Just waiting for Everton to jump in on the act and bring up Chelsea for Lukaku.

People need to get a grip and back to normality.
