Final Table: Its almost August and we are still using the June thread... Anyway we have like 6 weeks until the start of the new season (suck it teams still in Europe, enjoy your "break") then after that we have about 14 months of continuous football until after the Euros. RIP Norwich, Watford & Bournemouth. Utd backdoored themselves into a CL spot thanks to Brendan "Bottle Job" Rogers.

wooger posted:It was a weird season for everyone but Liverpool in terms of consistency, Burnley and Sheffield Utd were in with a Europa shout, and to be honest one of them might’ve made it without the condensed schedule, extra subs & some very sketchy refereeing decisions - all of which helped out the bigger clubs. I don't think it's actually been that weird. The big issue is that City (and now Liverpool) have set insane standards the last 4 seasons that now a sub 90 point season for City looks bad. When thats actually fairly normal

Myssu posted:City's terrible season this year had them score the same number of points that Leicester scored to win the league 5 years ago. There are five other premier league seasons where that points tally would have beaten the winners. It really wasn't that bad. Thats exactly what i said, its just because of the insane point tally they set the last 2 make it look bad, but its actually a relatively normally "good" season.

Kroke underpays staff and denies them healthcare. Which will kill people but that's ok because death by captialism is fine. FSG loaned the CIA jets to bring "terrorists" to Gitmo. And profited off the banking crisis in 08. Which killed people, again, ok because death by capitalism. Have probably funded a couple of coups in Africa Mike Ashely underpaid staff, tried to keep sports direct open as a "urgent business" directly putting staff in harm's way during a loving pandemic Glazers. Hedge fund profiteers who have probably financed one or two civil wars around the world. Also have Sanchez 400k a week.

Bundy posted:Think you found the line between Kroenke and the Glazers, one sees value in PR one does not I guess. I think the Glazers understood what FSG learned (by force) recently, that these clubs are more than just businesses. They are communities and have grown from communities and by loving them over or not treating them right you will get a lot of backlash.

the sex ghost posted:The replies to that post seem to think Dyche and Hasenhuttl should be in there. I haven't watched any Burnley or Southampton but Hasenhuttl seems to have taken Southampton from comedy clown club to respectable and Dyche has just sort of carried on as normal?? Lol that even the premier league agree that Pep is a bald fraud unworthy of even being nominated though Pep has had an unremarkable year by his standards. A far 2nd, 2 tinpot trophies (which are outside the "league" anyway). Some average performances to low table clubs.

Jason Sextro posted:ftr I agree with everything in it So you should. You are a smart person. The only reason Ole was given the job in the first place is because he's "one of the favoured bunch" and the Utd higher ups spooged themselves after he beat noted bottlers PSG in the CL. It certainly wasn't on his managerial credits. Hes punching way above his weight with a team that this year stumbled and bumbled their way into the top 4 because Rogers can't close out a loving season. Either his good will will wear off or Utd will continue being a 5-6 placed team. Either is fine by me

bewbies posted:it's always strange to me when teams won't just pick up the bulk of the guys salary to let them move on. like even if arsenal is paying 200k of his salary as he's playing elsewhere, that is still saving them 150. surely someone would employ him for 150? It's the principle I'm 100% sure.
