Al-Sandcastle - the sportswashing barcodes

Wonder if he is going to be a serious contender for Liverpool job?
Imagine turning fown millions on the off chance you might get a less paid higher pressure post?
I get it that Stevie bleeds Liverpool but it would be an extraordinary decision to undertake.

On the question of who might stay for the near futureā€¦

Dubravka. Woodman was rated as a good talent, so who knows.

Probably Lascelles, possibly one of Murphy/Lewis just as full back backups. Potentially Schar, if a more footballing manager takes over, although I think heā€™s one who is more liked by fans than actually that good.

Iā€™d say 2/3 out of Hayden, Willock and Longstaff. I think Hayden is/was a little bit underrated.

Saint-Maximin, Almiron and Wilson.

Not having them all as starters, but part of a squad that can be involved in moving forward a little bit up to a certain point.

But who the f*ck knows, with their situation, etc. Itā€™s far, far from the situation City and especially Chelsea were in when they had their big takeover. Plus, back then there were no extras like City and Chelsea. Now, theyā€™re still there.

Extraordinarily stupid imo. Just take a look at how well itā€™s turning out for them shoehorning in a hopelessly under qualified club legend at Old Trafford. In ten years time maybe , once heā€™s earned his spurs , but anytime soon would just be reckless in the extreme , and luckily thatā€™s one thing FSG certainly arenā€™t.

All speculation is immaterialā€¦ According to many newspapers,
Wayne Rooney has put himself forward for the post :flushed:

Itā€™s performative and I have some sympathy with City here as theyā€™re right, itā€™s unlawful. Probably why theyā€™ve only gone for a month.

City must love not currently being the biggest cunts in the room right now but the PL cannot be distracted from their ongoing action against City.

I thought he ruled himself out of the United job long ago due to having managed Liverpool?

You know, at a point when he couldnā€™t hope to be considered he ruled himself out like the twat he is.

Iā€™d just like to rule myself out as the future husband to Jodie Comer. Sorry Jodie.

From the article posted by @Kopstar above.

The league said it approved the takeover after receiving ā€œlegally binding assurancesā€ that the Saudi state would not control the club.

The PIF, which will provide 80% of funds for the deal, is seen as separate to the state.

This is despite the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, being listed as chair of PIF.

Anyone see the problem here? Why cant the FA see it?

ā€¦ that they are refusing to disclose or discuss. If they were so certain they were ā€˜legally bindingā€™ then they should make them public. The fact that they wonā€™t tells you theyā€™re just chatting shit.
