Celtic are still going for Treble Treble this season. You'd think Brodgers would want to claim all the glory and self promotion that comes with that, and have his name in the history books rather than watch Leicester stumble through their last 11 meaningless games of the season. What a kick in the nuts for Scottish football. Is it really so meaningless now that people would walk away from that?
Other problem is that the Champions League has changed and they have to get through the "Champions path" to get to the group stage, and enter a round earlier (thanks to the top leagues getting 4 automatic group stage places). They don't get any money from Scotland so all their revenue depends on some play off at Dynamo Kiev away. edit: oh and one other problem....their manager is Neil Lennon.
England women beat Brazil women 2-1 in the SheBelieves Cup in Philadelphia. Mean and White the scorers after Brazil went 1-0 up. Other teams include the USA, France and Japan.
Let´s hope the season ends with a second Wembley date for the L1 play-off final. PFC could be one of the few clubs to win twice at Wembley in the same season. I know Arsenal have done it.
I don't really have a strong opinion either way, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. But the seminar will make you hate it.
Rangers Anyone here think that the real brains in the Rangers management team is actually Gary McAllistair?
Inside Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds: 'He has changed the culture of the club for good' - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47380612 Excellent article about the guy I wanted at Saints after Koeman left. Yes, I'm happy with Ralph, but this is a guy I've long admired.
Pretty much. Making the CL group stage accounts for more than a third of their revenues when they do; everything else that happens during the season is to keep fit, heh. And, it's worth noting, if Rangers doesn't find some money soon, Scotland isn't going to get more competitive. As of their last set of books for 2017-18, they were already up to a debt level of 64% of turnover, and they spend a relative fortune in transfers this season. For Celtic, it's just a matter of playing keepaway for a few years while making the odd group stage, until Rangers' financial situation becomes intractable. Again.
I was embarrassed by one of our so called fans taunting Cardiff about the Sala incident. So this story was pretty shocking to read about today. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47418522
Notts County parent company goes into admin.......but not the club. Hmmmm....might need to check the small print a little better!
