Did they run out of candidates and they kept getting turned down by their first 10-20 choices or something? 
 

The inexperienced manager that got Burnley relegated and looked tactically one dimensional. Seems a mental choice as the next Bayern boss. 


pretty much aye. Even Ragnick knocked them back.

Tbf he does have them 8 points clear in the league 


Is that really much of an achievement in that league? 11 in a row before Bayer Leverkusen finally broke their run last year.  
 

They cherry pick the best players from other German clubs and have a decent budget to shop abroad, too. 
 

Didn’t Pep get stick as he didn’t improve them in the CL. Yet he kept churning out league titles and I’m guessing the Pokal, or whatever it’s called, as well. Which I don’t think carries much weight over there.

Another one that we’d be late to the party for and paying 5-10 times what the other club paid. 
 

Obviously he has kicked on as a player and got his chance to shine. But you’d imagine he’d cost what, £30m plus? 
 

Need to try and start taking a punt on some of these types of players. 

 

Talk of a £25 million fee in the summer, which would still be really good value, and his wages would be low.

 

Very different from shelling out for someone that's already in the Prem or another bigger league on decent wages.

Placeholder? Just a stop gap until someone they want becomes available? 
 

I guess if he does well in the meantime. Then it’s a win-win. 


Not sure, think by the time they got down to Ragnick on the list they were just asking anybody.

Do Atalanta look like at all scoring two goals? I put a large bet on a Brugge win and am absolutely shitting it


I turned off ten mins ago and Brugge were defending well. Lookman missing the penalty knocked the wind out of their sails.

They still need another 3 just to get it to extra time.

Thank you very much. Nerves have slightly calmed down. 


Aye I flicked over once I realised Atalanta weren’t going to win it. He’s taken Retegui & Ederson off now so looks like he’s just keeping his best players injury free for the league now.

I put a $750 bet on a Brugge win just as Lookman missed the pen. Pays 850, so 100 profit, seeing it as "printing money" but could a really stupid decision. 

 

Atalanta red. Expenses paid for the week :)

Ah! You need a win on the night. Fair enough :thup:

Reminds me of one of the worst bets in history from a clear problem gambler on Betfair. Was on Reddit I think and confirmed as genuine.
 

I can’t remember the exact details. But It was an AFCON game that was 3-0 late on. He put like £1000 or maybe even 10 grand at 1.01 on the team to go on and win. It finished 3-3 :lol: 

 

EDIT - not saying this bet is anything like that. Just reminded me of it.
