His managerial career is a trainwreck, too The only job he's lasted longer than six months in was the Romania U21s
Man City have been fined £1.08m for repeated late kick-offs and restarts after the break. I think that they got done for it last season, too. Not sure if it's an actual tactic or not, but it seems strange if it isn't.
Lyon have been relegated because of their substantial debt. They can appeal the decision, though. The whole thing sounds like a real mess. Their ownership is still tied up with Palace's. Textor's attempt to sell his shares might free them up, but relegation would too, I think.
They have appealed though. They will no doubt set forward some complex arguments and fail to miss the most obvious one. All they have to do is rename themselves "Chelsea" and then the authorities will be so mystified by their completely obvious fraud that they will let them off immediately.
