OH how stupid they all look.
I agree.
They'll be far smarter about how they go about it next time.
And now Ed Woodward has resigned.
Apparently he was due to leave at end of year anyway
Fair play to Arsenal - actually apologising and admitting they made a mistake.
As did John Henry of Liverpool. Did anybody see John Barns on the BBC this morning, he hit the nail clearly on the head. He said that many of the fans thought it was wrong because Sky and BT had told them so, and this was all about one set of elitists (UEFA, Prem League, Sky) not wanting another elitist organisation dipping into their honey pot. The fans think they have won, but it's just the status quo, so tickets & shirt prices will stay the same.
A franchised league is just as competitive as any other league. The only difference is that there is no promotion or demotion.

I did say Moanio was reaching his sell by date... (I'm looking for the smug face emoticon)......
I think there are a lot of similarities between him and Wenger in that respect.
Both were a breath of fresh air, both had a certain style of players they liked and how they played. They were amazingly successful early on. But either they got complacent, or others caught up and they did not evolve.
Jose especially has an attitude problem with some players. Maybe he would be best suited as an international manager now?
The difference is Wenger went at least 10 years before he started to fail, Jose lasts around 18-24 months before the players turn against him. He's proved it at Chelsea (twice), Madrid, Man Utd and now Spurs. He is a one season manager, he knows this, but will only take 3 years contracts so he gets paid off. Good work if you can get it.

I don't see a smug face emoticon.... ..but yes, fair play to you, you did say
Any thoughts on who will take over. ? If Leicester win the FA cup I did wonder if Brendon Rodgers would be up to a move
I can't see Rogers moving, he's doing a great job at Leicester, and they'll be in Europe again next year. Benitez is a possibility I guess. Always like the "Spanish Waiter", his knowledge of football is right up there, and he has great tactical strengths too. I was sort of hoping he would come to Arsenal before we confirmed Arteta.
I find it amusing that a manager is sacked for doing a bad job - in public - and within a week is offered a job somewhere else. Only in football would that be seen as normal.

Despite that he had a pretty decent record as manager. Or Ranieri, sacked as Greece manager as they lost to Faroes, then won the league with Leicester.
Didn't he also win the ECL with Chelsea?

A few more differences than that.A franchised league is just as competitive as any other league. The only difference is that there is no promotion or demotion.
They shouldn't have had 11 at the end, Xhaka had at least two bookable incidents after he had a yellow card.Manure game cancelled: https://www.skysports.com/football/...fter-anti-glazer-fan-protests-at-old-trafford
Even more surprising, Arsenal won, kept a clean sheet, and had 11 men at the end.... Wonders will never cease.
