i am essentially for a significant rehash of UEFA football, but the NBA system is the worst possible model. the national leagues are the most senseless competitions in existence - at least in the balkans / eastern europe - and we definitely need either some kind of a regional fusion or the division...

oh it seems the most probable scenario is marsch to rats if nagelsmann leaves, he has actually said he'd want to ... since he's a more energetic guy this might work well. so that all depends on bayern now. they won't want erik ten hag, who snubbed them a couple of years ago but now has reached the ...

Reading Marsch's wiki page, I didnt realize he was assistant coach at Leipzig under Rangnick, interesting. He has had huge success at NYRB and Salzburg. Interesting guy, Princeton grad. I havent heard his name linked with any top jobs.

Thanks Lutz Yeah I was going mention Marsch but didnt know if you had any familiarity with Austrian League. Looks like Salzburg is top. I dont know anything about Marsch personally. I havent heard his name mentioned in connection with the Spurs job but he's an interesting candidate.

Lutz, given that you are in the unique position of being intimately familiar with all three of the RB coaching tree currently linked to Spurs coaching vacancy: Hasenhüttl, Nagelsmann, and Rangnick, and given that you are as familiar as I with what he would have to work with on the roster, whom do yo...

but what most American fans of European soccer like are the differences between the NFL/NBA/MLB not the similarities. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/apr/21/european-super-league-reaction-us-fans American fans love European football precisely because it isn’t like US sport by Dave Caldwel...

Woodward out, Agnelli resigns. Is Levy next? Mein gott . . . . .

What a miss by Kluivert, how did that go wide?

What a finish from Haidara. aaaaand they immediately concede.

Outside of the Super Bowl, which most casual and non casual fans watch for the spectacle and commercials and not necessarily for the onfield product which is usually poor, the most popular sports event every year for casual sports fans is the NCAA basketball tournament. The reason is a) the format -...

so i've been asking myself if and how the €$£ might actually work as a product. i guess the rough idea is what works for the nba? but the nba is heroball in a way football will never be (and i've no idea anyway who wants to see all those endless totally inconsequential main season games). actually ...

what's also funny is that the premier league is such a fine product these days (with e.g. ancelotti, bielsa coaching in the supposed alsorans, with constant challengers to the top 6, with so many storylines developing), that they could milk it for years to come to everyone's (fans and capitalists a...

At a volcanic press conference, Uefa bigwig Aleksander Ceferin could scarcely contain his fury as he attacked “the snakes” who had “spat in the face” of his organisation. While he had plenty of ire to go around, the brunt of it was reserved for United chief suit Edward Woodward and his former frien...

of course i hugely enjoyed pep losing, and now i will root even harder for sudden good guys psg (despite them firing my man tüchel) to kick him out of the cl ... "humiliated by kaneless spurs" would also be a fine headline (though pep not winning the cl is top priority, i'm afraid). Actual football...

also Mourinho got the sack because apparently he didn't want to take players on the training ground in protest :lol: what a sore loser. he used the whole Super Lague show to make a half-assed political statement so it wouldn't look like he was fired because of his results :D Haha double post, exact...

George Davidson emails in an interesting thought: “National government may have limited formal powers to stop any super league. But local government may have more, stronger and long forgotten powers. Football Clubs use the name of their towns and cities with the permission of the local council. If ...

too much happening, cant really process it all. I am totally against any Super League and probably my interest in Spurs will wane out of sheer boredom. If this happens, what will Spurs be playing for? Six matches into the season, their title campaign will be effectively over, they'll be banned from ...

Pep will not put anything less than A++ team out there because he will want to put the final stake in Mourinho ... I have no idea who Spurs get as their next manager ... wait that's it ... after winning the quintuple or whatever this year, pep will have no more challenges left at city, and the best...
