PSG one of the worlds richest clubs, bankrolled by the Qatari Sovereign Wealth Fund. The Qatari Finance Ministry. The same people who bribed FIFA to take the World Cup. Lets also remember that QSI wanted to buy Leeds Utd and Radz is very good friends with Nasser Al-Khelaifi the CEO and President of QSI and PSG and yet another thing the Qataris own is BeiN Sports Network and thats where the relationship with Radz comes in because Radz and his company Asser were doing business with BeiN Sports and then Radz developed 11 Sports Network which hes just sold to DAZN Sports Network. QSI decided they were sick of not winning the Champions League so sacked Tuchel who we know went to Chelsea. Leonardo the Brazilian legend had been Sporting Director at PSG for years and was heavily involved in developing the club and signing the top talent. After Tuchel was sacked Pochetino was drafted in midway through the season. poch won the French Cup but only finished runner up in the league as too much to do to pull things around. In Pochetino’s 2nd season he won the French Cup and the league and got to the Champions League Semi Finals. Leonardo was sacked and so too was Pochetino and Al-Khalifai decided to get Louis Campos in as Sporting Director and then brought in Galtier from Nice as Head Coach…… So the scene is set, time to get out the popcorn and beer, sit back and watch one of the best clubs in the world implode, just like Barcelona. Campos has got rid of 29 players from PSG in the summer. Players like Kalimuendo, Draxler, Ariola, Di Maria, Gueye, Rafinha, Xavi Simmons, Icardi, Wjineldum, Parades and more. Kylian Mbape had been playing PSG off against Real Madrid and got himself a pay rise of £750k per week, which triggered a lot of unrest in the camp with the likes of Naymar Jr, Donarummer, Hakimi, Messi, Kimpembi, Ramos etc. The squad are not happy with the Campos regime because its mainly Portuguese and should be French? Galtier is a top coach and PSG are still top of the league but poor football, poor results including draws against bottom clubs. Then Mbape decides the club is shyt and wants to leave. PSG say ok you can leave if anyone can afford to pay £220m for you. So this is about to explode and Messi will deffo walk on a free back to Barcelona so he can weep again in his press conference, but Campos and Co will not win the Champions League and may even struggle to win the league QSI will shyt babies and its going to be fun to see. Today PSG deny they have used a 3rd party to set up a social media account to smear Mbape and French media are exploding wirh stories on Mbappe wanting to leave….. Victor Orta and the club are not so stupid as it seems all the kids we sell cheap or indeed allow to leave all have a 50% sell-on clause. Elia Caprile is on the verge of going big time. He has played every minute for his Seria B side who are on course for winning the league or at least getting promoted to Seria A. However Turin and AC Milan are chasing him Next Premier League manager to leave odds Steven Gerrard – 4/5 Ralph Hasenhüttl – 6/4 Brendan Rodgers – 3/1 Jurgen Klopp - 12/1 Steve Cooper - 16/1 Antnio Conte - 25/1 David Moyes 25/1 Jesse Marsch 25/1 For me the odds for Jesse Marsch are great if you fancy a punt. If Leeds get a battering on Sunday, if Bamford plays from the start and is as bad as last week, if Cooper is as bad as last week then I dont hold out much hope for Marsch. In farness we will have 9 points from 9 games and be on target for survival but 2 points from the last 6 games is very bad. Arsenal are top of the league but if we get turned over by Leicester I dont see Marsch surviving the clamour for his head. That would be 2 points from 7 games…… Marsch survives if he can get anything out of Arteta’s Arsenal
So the Marsch presser is over and besides saying Firpo is now fully fit and needs minutes on the pitch, Struijk starts against Arsenal, the rest of it was just the usual blah blah blah Jesse talking big. The questions mainly asking him why Rodrigo didnt start last week, why did Bamford start, is Bamford anywhere near fit, how long before Bamford is 100% and are we going to persist with Bamford until hes fit again.
Arent we level with villa who are hopeless. Can't see the reasoning Gerard is odds on and Jesse 25/1. Suppose bookies are seldom wrong
Suppose its because the club spent a lot of capital bringing Marsch in so the bookies giving longer odss on binning him ?
Gerard cost as much Ill bet Doc. Maybe because he's failed with a huge transfer kitty compared to Jesses
Intriguing match tonight as Brentford take on Brighton. No idea who will win but hopefully not Brentford.
Just for fun… Assuming everyone of those managers were sacked the same week, which one would you be okay with taking over from Jesse
One great bit of news is that Niall Huggins formerly of this manor will be playing for Sunderland U21s against Reading. He will play 45 minutes on his road back from a devastating back injury. Some may remember his brilliant performances for U23s in winning the league, playing in Prem 1 Div 2 and a couple of first team appearances before being sold to Sunderland. Huggins played in the first 4 games for Sunderland 1st team putting in great performances before having his spine injured. He spent almost 7 months in a cast not being able to move a year later he is slowly on his way back. Tony Mowbray his manager at Sunderland tried to buy him from Leeds when Mowbray was at Blackburn so he is chuffed to have the kid getting fit again. Good luck mate
I’m surprised the odds are that long on jm but the reasons for the discrepancy seem pretty straightforward. - we were in sh*tsville when marsch came in, so the bar is low - we sold our two best players - we invested in a squad to play the brand of football marsch specialises in - our squad value is bottom end PL - we have US investors and promoting us over there is part of the plan - we’re not really getting outplayed by anybody - we’re not in the relegation zone. - he’s not long in the job Jury still out on Jesse for me, but it seems pretty obvious to me… and seemingly the bookies… that flipping the manager with the current squad we have would be unlikely to improve things. Can you say the same about Leicester and Villa?
As expected, Brighton more possession more shots more everything… except goals. Brentford get a penalty from a long throw, and score from their only other shot on target.
One thought, Marsch is getting pelters and part of me understands why but the 3 shining lights this season, Aaronson, Roca and Adams are his signings, Perhaps we should let him get a few more of his players and then see how it goes. I also expect Kristensen to come good, signs were there Sunday
Back to Docs well written OP, PSG seemed to have pulled off a masterstroke last summer convincing Mbappe to stay when all the odds were he was going to Real Madrid. A front 3 of Mbappe, Neymar and Messi! It really seemed a dream lineup. But something seems not right, or is all the press just banging out non stories? They may well walk their league, but will probably not win the champions league, city are probably in the same boat having similar amounts of cash but fail to win footballs highest prize. As for barca an early champions league exit is looking likely and this weekends classico could be tasty as a lot are now turning on their old guard, mr waka waka etc. Hope they crash and burn . Foden just signs a new deal worth 200k, Yes two hundred thousand pounds a week, Football reminds me of the supersuckers song, will post it in Shako's jukebox . PRETTY ****ED UP.
Todays headline in The Mail and L’Quipe Kylian Mbappe 'now sees PSG as being IMPOSSIBLE to trust' and is 'considering BREAKING his contract'
Very true and because he couldnt get Connor Gallagher, so Orta showed him Aaronson as he was the same type of player and they then tried to get him.
