Marco Silva has been confirmed as the new Fulham manager. He was good for a bit at Watford, he was a bit shit at Everton but who isn't? He seems to start well and burn out which has been the opposite of every manager we've had for a while back so it should be a fun season down in the championship next year!

Absolutely gutted you didn't go for Steve Cooper. Thought we were going to get rid of him, but he is still here with his boring football.

Like Brendan Rodgers, he’s too scary to be sacked. 

[Gotters]

Barca really are financially in a right old mess if this is all accurate - expect an incoming change on La Liga salary limit rules and a change of zoning on a piece of worthless land they own somewhere.

 

Can't imagine how they bail themselves out of this unless some Middle Eastern wealth fund steps in and buys a major chunk of the club - they can't shift on their squad tat as overpay most of them and there aren't many buyers out there.

 

Suspect the first tweet is a typo and its its €200m not €200k.

 

 

[GamesGamesGames]

Would love to see the big two in Spain hit the wall. They bleed that league dry and, one way or another, are bailed out at every turn.

 

From that tweet it's also fair to assume they won't be signing Messi to a fresh deal. Cue them being bailed out again somehow....

 

I think that 200,000 might be right by the way, but Euros/week.

[Naysonymous]

I mean Messi is out of contract right now so they don’t have to pay him this week…

[Plissken]

Their new President has already suggested that the La Liga wide FFP rules should be “revisited”.

Shocking. That's not a red card 80 years ago.

What has the game become.

Roy Keane has been sacked more than once and we all know who is the scarier!

#vierabottled

[Fry Crayola]

Keane was only sacked by Ipswich. He resigned from Sunderland. But was probably going to get sacked anyway.

[Hamus]

He left the Ireland job 'by mutual agreement'. He was sacked.

 

So, at least 3.

[Fry Crayola]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I was just thinking management jobs.

 

In effect, it was O'Neill who was sacked. Keane was collateral damage.

[Gotters]

here is a google translate of a Spanish language article on the financial fun at Barcelona, they do look like a club that despite still being a huge name and generating lots of money could be in serious trouble. Of course footy clubs never go away, they still exist but just blow up paying cents in the euro on their outstanding debts.

I see that the same person who keeps trying to buy Newcastle without actually having the money is again trying to buy Newcastle without actually having the money.

[Stopharage]

I have zero sympathy for Barca. Last time I was at the Nou Camp, they were flogging their home shirts for €140. 

 

Although if you picked one up today, they'd probably give you Coutinho for free.

Is that British businesswoman Amanda Staveley? Up there with crack East-european outfit Red Star Belgrade in the title stakes.

You win all the points.

Training with the U-16s. Grim.

[Dudley]

The defence appears to be that she didn't reveal her age.

 

That the "Under 16s team player" didn't reveal her age.

 

I know footballers aren't thinkers in the main but I think I could make an estimate as to her age.

[Fry Crayola]

I suppose technically you can play for the U16s while being 16. But really, no 30 year old man has any business going near a 16 year old.

[GamesGamesGames]

Just to be clear, my 'Training with the U-16s' was a joke (in very poor taste).

 

Is that actually the situation? Christ.

[Fry Crayola]

Oh, I don't know, I was going off that and other posts.
