It’s a meaningless award that I’m surprised is discussed with any gusto.
Aguerd could be an astute signing - hope it’s confirmed. Suspect were he French rather than Moroccan his fee would be substantially larger.
If we’d made the right two transfers in January I’m convinced we’d now be qualified for the champions league.
Instead we didn’t make any signings…coulda, woulda, shoulda.
Anyway, that’s just my opinion - and as we know opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one.
Brentford have basically been playing moneyball for ages - be interesting to see if they can continue it.
Southampton I’d guess usually finish higher than their wage bill should naturally see them place too.
To be honest, I don’t think it’s that hard. There’s usually a good number of clubs that are run so poorly as to not make it much of a challenge.
Remember that Ipswich side well if only because we were linked to with Stewart heavily over the summer - turns out boards of directors do get some decisions right occasionally…
Ah gotcha.
They trot out the tired excuse that they can’t do this anymore due to the time it takes to undertake all the necessary organisation.
That is, and always has been, bollocks.
A Man City / Liverpool semi final should never be played in London. A Brighton / Southampton semi final should never be played in Manchester.
It’s not fucking hard (it’s only a semi…)
