Dan Levy not appointing a manager to save that sweet sweet hard currency is extremely on brand.

 
Didn’t have the Discman down as an antisemite like.

Fuck Sputs to be honest. Pretending to be a big team. Sneaking their way into the ESL was laughable. Kane leaves them, and they'd be back where they belong, being a mid table shit team. 


I feel like I’ve heard this a lot on here. I’ve avoided commenting because I’m trying to steer clear of club football as much as possible. I feel like it’s still worth pointing out that Spurs haven’t finished as low as seventh since 2009, and have been in the top four more often than not since then. 
 

Nobody “belongs” anywhere. I don’t know how old you are but sure, 20 years ago we were midtable. 40 years ago, when I was a kid, Newcastle were a shit midtable team in Division Two. Doesn’t mean I think you belong there, or that you’re not a big club. It’s just lazy nonsense.

It's just banter isn't it.

 

It was laughable you trying to join a super league.

 

I wouldn't take it so seriously.

Think he would be one of the best candidates. So lucky how they've fucked around so much and still have him left as a choice. Fancy offering it to Gattuso before him [emoji38]

Quite odd really how it’s playing out with Palace, Spurs and Everton. All that instability and indecisiveness will cost them.

 

Also just goes to show how having a management team that knows what they’re doing is a rare thing in football. Everton in particular are bonkers if they don’t take Rafa, seeming as he’s willing to go.

Can't wait to see at least one of these clubs make a shit panic appointment at the last minute.

 

Everton I can kind of grasp but the other two have known since near enough Easter that they were making a change, how the fuck haven't they sorted it yet?!

I know Everton fans are using Rafa's "poor" performance in China as an argument not to appoint him. It's interesting that https://footystats.org/china/chinese-super-league/xg for the 2020 season (Rafa's full season) says Dalian had the 2nd best xG (rising from 1.36 to 1.65 per match) in the division, out of 16 teams. The actual output got worse, but from what I can tell the underlying stats got better? xGA fell from 1.54 in 2019 to 1.27 in 2020 too. 

 

The average squad age in 2019 was 28.8 which was the 2nd highest in the division. In 2020, that fell to 27.3 which was the lowest in the Super League. Even if according to points per match Dalian slipped from 9th (1.27) in 2019 to 13th (0.79) in 2020, I think the data beneath it suggests an improvement hence the board being happy with the transformation over there
