Exactly.

Lalas calls him Cuca rella.

Gotta be early in OZ.

England would be watching the final if not for him.

Great karate strike there.

Outstanding.

Univision for sure.

Sounds lovely. I'm sure everything on here will be calm and just fine.

UK managers seemed to think Spain have it in the bag but fuck that. Looking forward to see England pull what would be a minor upset.

Just dial back some of the hate. I get disliking certain players but this is a guy who has served the team, had a great patch, runs hard but has limitations for sure. A replacement would likely be an upgrade. I think most here get that. You can point that out without the vibe of "I hate his guts, I wish he was never here". Calm down mate, he's going to leave and if you'd like to spit on his back as he leaves that is your right. I'd rather shake his hand and thank him for past contributions. Just my take, ignore if you want.

Dude, you are a one trick pony.

That's quite the post @Eveready. Nice work.

I thought it was reported that they have been sold to PIF. If that isn't true then that could explain it.

I agree, very very strange that there has been nothing , no public statement by the club or Amanda. If it were planned well in advance there would have been a press conference since she was the face of the club since the takeover.

I stated it very poorly like I always do. I think PIF could get alot more than that.

I stated that poorly. I meant that also is way undervalued. I doubt 600M is accurate because they are worth more. 900M? 1B? They have the foundations in place.

That's double what they paid. I find it hard to believe that a EPL team that finished 7th and 4th the last two years carries that value. Now I know fuck all but it seems to me it's more than that. Some foundations are in place for someone if they sold.

Very sad about this. I'm not trying to be sexist but she championed the women's team so maybe they could appoint her to a position overseeing the lasses? Does sound like she's simply moving on though.

There is no doubt in my mind the Greeks are masters at names.

That and a whole lot more.

That is a good point too. In matters of labour union negotiations, there is some leeway but they still can't contradict the laws of the land which is why the US law addressed those because some things simply wouldn't be allowed without such exceptions.

In the USA these sort of exceptions were specifically and narrowly applied by law. They can be retracted by lawmakers at any time. Is this not the case in the UK?

Sure seems to be in the mold you've described. Both domestically and across Europe. Seems like a real coup.

Makes complete sense tbf.

I mean for 100M we could have a lot of options. I'm not sure I believe any of it so let's see what happens after the Euros.
