I agree with this article. There are too many mismatches in football these days with leagues becoming way too predictable. Ideally I would like finances to spread out or other ways to level the playing field, but its not going to happen. Let Man City play the likes of Barcelona and Bayern Munich and clubs like ourselves play Everton and Leicester. A European Super League needs to happen now. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/may/19/manchester-city-sky-blue-smashing-of-watford-proves-football-is-broken

I think he will make a good manager. Anderlecht have had a bad season so probably a big rebuilding job there. I hope he does well there.

I would love it if we spent big on a quality central midfielder to partner Longstaff.

He didn't exactly deny it. https://twitter.com/Sammy_Goal/status/1129822398835023872

Ashley - I don't want to invest in players in their 30s there is no value for money. Benitez - Fine lets invest in the academy and bring in our young players through. Ashley - No don't want to do that either, costs a lot of money. Benitez - So let me get this straight, you don't want to invest in players in their 30s, but not in the academy either. Ashley - Glad you understand my vision.

I don't think anyone at this stage can predict who will be relegated next. Everyone will change their squads and in our case probably change our manager as well which you could argue would make us big favourites to get relegated. When Huddersfield got promoted most people thought they would be comfortably relegated, but they survived and Cardiff were also expected to finish with a record low points total this season. I wouldn't be making any assumptions about the ability from next seasons promoted clubs.

Still no major leaks yet.

I find that when teams lose playing open and attacking football they are lazily dismissed for being tactically naive. Theres a feeling that stifling the opposition attack rather than dismantling the opposition defence are only worthy of being called genius tactics.

I'm not sure, but this might be the article that website is refering to which basically says nothing. It might be wishful thinking from me, but I think its a positive that talks are taking days rather than a few hours. Benitez said himself it might take more than one meeting to present his vision to Ashley.

Guardiola and Klopp took a while to get their ideas across and now their clubs are benefiting from showing patience and backing their managers.

Nuno Espersito would probably be the best choice for Chelsea considering they have a transfer ban. https://twitter.com/GraemeBailey/status/1129114147088678914

I feel the same way. I can't get excited until I see a few players sign before pre season starts. It will be interesting if there are any leaks in the media tonight. If there are it would tell me talks haven't gone well. Wouldn't it depend on what the leaks say? Probably, but from what has happened from the past two takeover talks any leaks are bad news.

I have no sympathy for him if he doesn't get his wish to leave. I understand if he wants to play Champions League football, but then he shouldn't have signed a new contract which has probably priced him out of a move.

Thanos let himself go.

I guess there will be more talks tomorrow then.

I'm not sure I can stand watching Lampard's arse getting licked by the media next season if Derby get promoted.

I also miss having some big clubs in the Premier League not that Derby are a small club.

Why do people hate Leeds so much?

Why? Both these teams look better than they did last night More individual quality which should be enough to beat either of these two teams tonight.

Villa are definitely getting promoted.

From other clubs.
