If they don't have a signed contract before the World Cup they're fucked, they'll be waiting for everyone else to appoint their new coaches and have the leftovers to choose from. I hope they end up with some chancer like Roberto Martinez

Not publishing the salary on their job adverts is the biggest tell that that is 100% true, absolutely lifting practice and just trying to make up for it in perks and the idea/attraction of working for the club.

Very uninspiring and the 1 likely decent away allocation somewhere everyone will want to go, oh well

I can just about, thinking of that McDonald's advert he was in in the 90s, "A used to kick a ball against this wall".

Really, really hope Tuchel has been onto him

They're not just outside it either, think they're down at about £40m - £45m per season. Mind I'd not spend anything there either if my only option was Brewdog for a pint, I'd rather the shite options at our place!

It varies significantly - saw the below kicking about last month. There's also been quite a significant move towards maximising non-matchday use aswell with new stadia and facilities, I read something recently about how Fulham's new roof terrace thing was almost built with non-football use in mind first to bring the money in year-round, and they also then have the space to sell tickets to the football for. All linked to a change in corporate/hospitality buying habits and trends supposedly, so clubs are less building "facilities for corporate guests at the football" but "event spaces that we can also sell to corporate guests who want to go to the football." All very wanky but where the coin is

That works out nicely actually as another one is restarting after the FA Cup aswell, I do alright when I can pick the same team in both and don't have to think too much!

Played mate

Tuchel extending until 2028, that'll put any media Eddie for England noise to bed thankfully (assuming we don't completely fuck up with World Cup)

Brexit Jim gonna Brexit Jim

Is Specsavers still the Scottish refs sleeve sponsor?

A Happy Birthday to you

Digging out Ian Wright who has done a huge amount for girls and womens football will never not be a bizarre approach and line of attack to my mind, and in the case of Aluko and her manner it pretty much just exposes her as being very self-centred and absorbed, which then stops what valid debate there probably is to be had from happening or being able to happen sensibly, which is a shame.

Do you know Hugo Langton (@langtoncoaching on Twitter)? Send it to him, if he's still running his scouting business alongside his coaching job he might have a use for this I reckon, when I used to work for him I think there were 30-40 of us in a WhatsApp group, something like this would have been very valuable

It gets better

Cheers, added to the bottom

TIL Ademola Lookman is at Atletico Madrid

Do we reckon when Dermot Gallagher praises the referees on Ref Watch tomorrow for following the laws of the game they'll ask him what about all the times refs don't follow them when they bottle second yellows or don't give decisions early because they're "managing the game and maintaining the spectacle"?

And yet in the next presser it'll be "Eddie fans are saying this....."

🤣 Absolutely not!

Wow so we actually are going with the make believe "we're going to hound him out" narrative, ffs man

Either a shitfest 0-0 or a daft 3-3 with all of the goals being entirely preventable
