James Scott has been released by St Mirren. He spent the 25/26 season on loan at Scottish Championship side Ross County, who finished bottom and were relegated to Scottish League One (swapping places with Stenhousemuir).

He's not had a good last few years, has he?

It's no wonder Ross County went down, Scott scored 0 goals in 22 appearances, even I could score in that league. <doh>
 
First Champions League final behind TV paywall has 7million viewers - but that is 5.6m less than Liverpool v Real Madrid which was free to air.
16.2m illegal streams for the final, I’ve just seen. Parasites
:)

Edit - from 3.7m unique IP addresses. So in reality, it’s a seven or eight figure sum of illegal streams!

Sounds like Rodri might be off, Citeh might be imploding a bit post pep.
They ****ed themselves by giving Guéhi £300k-a-week and expecting the likes of Rodri and Gvardiol to not want considerably more than that.

They seem to lose a member of the old guard every season now. De Bruyne left last summer, Bernardo Silva and Stones leaving this summer etc. If Rodri leaves, their midfield looks very basic. Reijnders looked decent at first but he struggled to adapt to the intensity and physicality of the Prem the more the season went on and he was dropped. Kovačić’s legs have gone and his best quality is ball-carrying. I rate Nico González but his minutes were reduced in the second half of the season when Rodri was fully fit.

They’ve been below their own standards this season and especially last season. They draw too many games these days and drop points from winning positions. I can see them struggling again next season.

To be fair they finished 3rd and fifteen points behind Chelsea in Pep's first season too. I'd like to think that Maresca would have them playing boring football and we'd have a return to proper competition between three or four teams every year, but he'll probably go and win five titles in succession now

I think their major problem is Rodri isn’t the same since his injury
