  1. Hopefully he stays down to earth because all the fame and attention can sometimes get in the way. He seems to have a good attitude.
    98
  2. Points deduction is not enough. They need every title they won stripped. Otherwise the EPL will be seen as a laughing stock. Why support a team if you know there is cheating going on.
    23
  3. These charges are based in sports rules but could go legal at some point. Hard to call at this point.
    15
  4. I have no idea how Messi won that last award. Are they giving it to him for lifetime achievement or what?
    10
  5. What is the obsession with people an Maguire. The whole team was horrible last year not just Maguire.
    10
  6. Before every game and at end of every quarter there would be a five minute session of kneeling for social justice. Half time at games would have men dressed up as women dancing on a stage with their fist in the air for justice and showing of their new package.
    10
  7. Mourinho being sacked will not even register on the scale at this point.
    9
  8. The problem what is there to protest. Either a super league or the Champions league becoming a super league. In 2024 the Champions league is to become an actual league with two leagues of 10 teams with the top 8 then going through to a special competition afterwards. That will only suit the super clubs and make it easier for them to stay at the top.
    8
  9. Do you believe in UFO's and lizard people.
    8
  10. The EPL did not break away from British football it was still part of the system.
    7
  11. He was the quiet professional.
    7
  12. If Man Utd or Liverpool did this they would have the book thrown at them.
    7
  13. Then you do not understand what is at play. The government has warned the EPL that they would face investigations unless they started to perform oversight. A lot of people are getting nervous about the sources of money that are floating about. The EPL has had their hand played in this one and they have no other choices. Other clubs like Utd are as well getting nervous as they are a publicly listed company and probably do not want anything like that in the league. The EPL has not gone public about this for the fun of it.
    7
  14. Wise up.
    7
  15. Absolutely not. He is EPL proven and will score goals no matter where he goes. His football is that of a 28 year old. He has high level natural fitness, speed and power but most importantly he is the highest level of professional. For the right team next season he could win them the Champions league. He score 24 goals last season 38 games for a terrible Man Utd and was better than prime age 25 year olds. Ronaldo is lucky in that he is genetically gifted and has the body of a 25 year old.
    6
  16. That makes no sense at all. They own the clubs so it cannot happen. And for any fans to try and push the agenda will probably destroy their own clubs. If the fans are patient they may wait and the owners may sell down the line.
    6
  17. It is only logical that clubs should be paying for managers. The most important thing at a club is a good manager.
    6
  18. It could be any of them to be honest. I think they do not understand without the fans they cannot have the games.
    6
  19. Absolute nonsense. Cheating is cheating is cheating. If those titles were won and they are found guilty they should be returned to the runner up of those competitions.
    5
  20.  @andale_andale  No. The 2018 period is just that for the investigation not what happened after that period. The allegations of them not participating with the investigation is from the period of 2018 to 2023.
    5
  21. No. Sky will not get behind this because they have spent billions developing the brand of the EPL. They simply could not risk there being another league where they would not be the sole central player. Sky will not back this.
    5
  22. Same with Utd and Spurs.
    5
  23.  @theportugueselegend  All titles have to be stripped. Compensation for the clubs that lost out during that period and expulsion from the league as well.
    5
  24. The team finished runner up 2020-21 and in 6th position this season. Hardly championship quality is it?
    4
  25. There is no comparison with the NBA. America is a country the size of the EU and it had not national league and it introduced it by using a franchise system that has worked for them. People keep comparing the Super league to it but there is no comparison.
    4
  26. Utd were never in for Nunez as they need other positions sorted out first.
    4
  27. Crystal Palace are not Man Utd. They are the type of club that has airs and graces in their decision making. Sort of like when Leicester go promoted, won the EPL and then got relegated by the same manager who then got fired. The common sense thing to do would be to stick with the manager and allow him build again.
    4
  28. CIty do not have a fan base so Arsenal cannot get to excited there.
    4
  29. All titles must be stripped for that period. Why have football rules that other clubs obey if City can come along and go we are special it does not apply.
    4
  30. We do not actually know what is going on. The Champions league is about to morph into a European super league.
    4
  31. If he does that he will be seen as a man of substance from that point onwards. That squad will clear out as well and will not hang around. Their contracts will probably be null and void giving many the opportunity of large pay days as well.
    3
  32. If he is good enough to be the interim manager then he is good enough to be the manager. If he can get the Ole team to the next level why then get a replacement?
    3
  33. Poch is a good attacking coach so that would not be an issue. Ten Hag is a perfect fit.
    3
  34. Ole did a job so people need to lay off him. There seems to be an occasion among certain fans with Ole and Harry Maguire.
    3
  35.  @Onemoreday1623  Newcastle with a good 10 years of investment within the FFP rules would enable them to earn more money in the future. Developing the stadium, adapting an attractive form of football and just be honest would win them a lot of fans and building for the future.
    3
  36. Part of the problem? What on earth does that even mean. Do you think the ex players are picking the team or making the signings?
    3
  37. Clubs have to generate their own money and cannot use outside money for many reasons.
    3
  38.  @tonynogueira8900  They may have enough points to be deducted in certain seasons that would allow them to keep their titles. If Man Utd or Liverpool did this at those levels we all know what the outcome would be.
    3
  39. Haaland only cost £51 million which is an absurd figure when you consider that other players were bought and sold for far more money. Something does not seem right with that transfer. Not for one moment suggesting that the player did anything but it does seem very suspicious. Jack Grealish cost twice as much as Haaland which makes no sense.
    3
  40.  @GrahamWalters  Relegation is not enough. They need league expulsion and have to reapply for membership of the football association. That is what happened to Rangers and the same should apply to city. I would love to know if there are issues HMRC as well that are not being disclosed as a full audit may have to take place there as well. Remember when celebrities were dragged through the mud by the media because they used various taxation reduction schemes.
    3
  41. Definitely not relegation. They should be booted from the league and forced to reapply to the English league and start at the very bottom. That is what happened to Rangers and they have far more political clout than Man City have.
    3
  42. Because it seem to keep happening with City hence why people are surprised. I thought after the last time they would learn their lesson. This time the charges maybe more intense.
    2
  43.  @davidhoward5392  2 windows is not the problem. Doing it for several seasons and lying to investigators is a different matter.
    2
  44. Maybe Arsenal can take their place.
    2
  45. Miz You probably did not know who he was before the "INFLUENCERS" put him in your head. Otherwise he was probably just some foreign coach to you.
    2
  46. City should get a 20 point deduction and Utd get a 20 point deduction. Everybody from FIFA to sunday league should gang up on this stunt. Without the fans they cannot really make it work.
    2
  47. You can be sure there will be a documentary.
    2
  48. Just to let you know people are talking about how this is about to destroy the game. Well that happened a few decades ago in the UK with the Premier league and also in Europe with the Champions league.
    2
  49. Modric was an amazing player so not real arguments there. Messi winning it this time makes no sense.
    2
  50.  @muhammadah6850  Ten Hag is now got the green light on all transfers. He only just started the job so they will have to be working from now on but there is no point rushing as it has to be done right. Those other transfers you see taking place have been negotiated over months not a few days.
    2
  51. PSG could win the champions league with Ronaldo scoring goals for them.
    2
  52. Thomas Tuchel before he joined PSG had did about similar things to Rangnick at management level in that he just won cup competitions. Ralf Rangnick has never really been interested in long term football management and prefers technical football management such as coaching and methodology. If Rangnick can get Utd to play the same type of football as the other clubs with players that Utd produce and buy then he may produce a very dominant team. No utd fan really believes that Utd will win the EPL or champions league this season but they want the club to move in the right direction.
    2
  53. Fred is not a bad player and he cannot be blamed for what is happening. Blaming Maguire, fred, Pogba and Lukaku for a team not playing well is not exactly fair.
    2
  54.  @michaelhallin6377  Because the singling out of an individual player for the blame of a whole club was done on Lukaku and people like yourself forget that. Lukaku when he played for Utd was not responsible at the time for Utd nothing center backs, right back, left back, no central midfield and now wide players. And a bench full of players who were getting paid for not playing. Does that make sense?
    2
  55. You are talking absolute nonsense. There is a dividend structure in the finances that they as a shareholder get payments from and any holder of those shares also are entitled to. Those dividends actually increase the cheap capital that Utd can use and have used.
    2
  56. Some managers specialize in that. Clough used to be able to take ordinary players and make them look world class by the way the team played football. We will need to wait and see how Ten Hag will do.
    2
  57. Yes and PSG can cough up the £60 million required for such a goal scoring machine. He probably would score them 40 goals in a league season. He most certain is worth the money with Mbappe, Neymar and Messi.
    2
  58. EPL is a different set up with no time constraints on charges. All activities are included as evidence and cannot be excluded. All clubs that are members of the EPL obey this rule and will through the process seek out that city are held to those rules as well. The UK government is also looking over the should of the FA and EPL on this one. HMRC will also be looking at this as well.
    2
  59.  @joebarnes100  Nope that is not enough. They need to be stripped of all titles and a points deduction per game and results.
    2
  60. The reason you feel disaffected is because you probably feel the success has not been properly earned. Chelsea are the same I have meet fans of theirs that will not even go to the games since the money arrived.
    2
  61. I am not convinced it will work though. It could actually destroy football. People keep comparing it to NFL or NBA but there is not comparison at all.
    2
  62. He needs a central midfield player to make the midfield pass the ball and it does not matter if there are 100 young players.
    2
  63. Not this time. The list of charges is so serious and the the desire nows seems to be there to clean house. Teams Like Utd have been complying with FFP for the last 15 years to the point that their squad is nowhere near the level of City. I do no think people fully understand the implications of this as of yet. HMRC may also get involved because I suspect they will have issues as well with what has happened. No Corporation in the UK would get away with doing that.
    2
  64. Does that rebuild include yourself?
    2
  65. We need to get rid of anti semitism in the game.
    2
  66. English football has its own culture and is not socialist Germany.
    2
  67. They did not win anything they just were not punished. That is a difference.
    2
  68. That is exactly what he is trying to do. He plays a midfield system not individuals.
    2
  69.  @Alphoric  Can you name an EPL club that gets sponsorship that is more than their commercial relationship?
    2
  70. I doubt sky will not be into this. They have spent billions developing the EPL and for them to just go and do the super league could in effect destroy their investments.
    2
  71. How is Neville one of the problems? What exactly has he done?
    2
  72. Ronaldo will score goals next season who ever buys him. He is EPL proven and if they can get one good season out of him they may win the champions league as he will be super focused next season.
    2
  73. The asking price is £60 million for such a class goal scoring machine. Age has already been taken into account.
    2
  74. Nothing more damning than dodgy money trying to change a culture of a country.
    2
  75. It is sports rules and then maybe the law. So there is no way you think you can swing the argument with that.
    1
  76. Man utd are innovative but it is not on the surface. Utd for years have put a lot of emphasis on technical academy players hence why the likes of McTominay, Greenwood and Rashford came through the club and more will continue. What has happened to utd happens to every top team at some point. There is always a downward spiral in the club at first team level. Real Madrid and Barcelona are in that right now but the difference with them is they have enormous debt levels and cannot sign players. Man Utd have a revenue of about $600 to $700 million per year with debts about £350 million.
    1
  77.  @mihirvelapure2258  I think that innovation is nonsense that you referring to. Real won 3 champions leagues in a row without any sort of innovation other than a good coach and good players. Many City became a force because they spent over a billion and brought in the best coaches and built a squad from the get go. Utd on the other hand have been using a dribs and drabs approach to bring in players. After Ferguson left Utd had to replace several top quality players and that never happened.
    1
  78. The transfer market is only a week old. Chelsea do not have as much of a need to get a singular player like De Jong as Ten Hags Utd do.
    1
  79. That is the reason why he is a billionaire and you are not. You have no clue what you are talking about and have just made stuff up in your head.
    1
  80. Making one or two financial irregularities is one thing but to do it for several seasons and then hide it.
    1
  81. Poch plays lovely football that would be perfect for Utd and many hope that him being at Utd would allow him to move up a gear. Ten is the fans favorite as they want him to come in and build the team from scratch. If the first team was in better condition Poch would be a fantastic addition.
    1
  82. If Spurs have the 60 million and can meet the best goals scorer in the worlds demands then he may go to them. But will Ronaldo see them as a Champions league winning team though?
    1
  83. Not this time.
    1
  84. Those clubs earned their money over decades of success. Not even comparable.
    1
  85. Ten Hag needs to get Utd playing football again. That does not mean he has to win anything and there may be lots of stop starts in terms of performances. As long as he can get the team playing football he will have plenty of time. But if he starts with McFred and the football looks flat and the team is not playing football he will not get anymore time than Ole or Mourinho.
    1
  86. Ole had Donny and decided that McFred was better so he has no excuses.
    1
  87. Bayern are top of their league and have that many options in players that they are overload. Which is a good problem for them. They have Ryan Gravenberch sitting on the bench for games as well. That is how deep their options are. I would say Ten Hag probably was looking from Gravenberch but Bayern would not part with him due to his potential talent.
    1
  88. The EPL is a membership that involves all the other clubs who are going to be very unhappy.
    1
  89. Some of them do not understand British culture of football. There needs to be punishment for the clubs but let us not get too carried away.
    1
  90.  @pubg-blsy3352  It depends on the nature of the financial allegations. Is all of it in compliance with HMRC
    1
  91. If they are stripped of the EPL titles spurs will get one of those.
    1
  92. Everyone of them needs to have a 20 point deduction. And 15 points next season and each get a fine of £50 million and a transfer ban for the next two seasons. That should be suffice anything more than that and they may feel that they are being forced to join the super league. Now what should happen with the FA cup final, champions league semis and Europa league is more complex and not easy to answer.
    1
  93.  @copymerchant1768  Utd never commited FFP during Ferguson's rein due to the constraints of the financial side of the club. Utd always lived within their means even Ferguson has admitted in the past that Utd will never step outside its financial abilities.
    1
  94. That is absolutely not the case. EPL case is not based on UEFA. It is based on activities within the EPL and is not subjected to European sports rules. The UK government will step in and conducted an audit if the EPL does not at this point.
    1
  95. Ten Hag is not part of British football culture. That is what he means. knowing the style of football is not the same as knowing the culture. As Gary has pointed out Ten Hag has experience in different leagues so that will be a massive help to him.
    1
  96. Are you not excited about the new manager?
    1
  97.  @TOPCLASSGAMER44  Utd do sign players so what are you talking about?
    1
  98. Apart from the fact Utd have a new manager and a lot of money to spend.
    1
  99. English culture of football is the only way.
    1
  100. City won nothing with UEFA all they did was avoid punishment.
    1
  101. Fred and McTominay are not creative midfielders like Ericksen was and are more in the mold of Casemiro.
    1
  102.  @DMueller0407  NFL and NBA are national leagues and the ESL is a European league with teams from different countries. DO not be surprised if the EU political movement is behind this as they want the EU to become an actual nation.
    1
  103. No it was done after the Dutch cup final. There was always an intention to do it. Now maybe the loss took it back a week but it was always coming soon.
    1
  104. Man Utd spending has been no where near Man City levels. Only Liverpool have earned their success the other teams bought theres with money not from football. Blackburn did the same thing.
    1
  105. There is no point to the EPL if they cannot hand out punishment on this. Expulsion from the league is the only option and stripping of titles over the last 15 years.
    1
  106. Again?
    1
  107. Newcastle has a 50000 seater stadium that it regularly packs out.
    1
  108. It is a common problem in English football were physicality is valued above the ability to play football. No body wants to see the physical game disappear but Carrol was allowed to make several reckless challenges. If he had of been brought up by the ref for the first challenge and told he would get booked for the next challenge accordingly then things may have been different.
    1
  109.  @DC-zi6se  It does not matter what the players have earned if cheating took place it will not matter.
    1
  110. Harry Maguire is a good british defender and is not going anywhere.
    1
  111. The EPL has the ability to withdraw membership of the EPL. The FA has the ability to withdraw membership from the English league and that would men a team would have to reapply to enter again and start at the very bottom. Another question which nobody seems to be asking with all of this was taxation properly applied in this situation?
    1
  112. Is that not Ole job?
    1
  113. Both Ronaldo and Messi are the most overrated players the game has ever seen. They had great club careers and were great goal scoring players but they are nothing like Pele, Maradona or even Zidane.
    1
  114. The problem that exists is that the Champions league is just about to morph into a super league.
    1
  115. If he can get the Utd team to the next level why not keep him has the head coach?
    1
  116. Poch is a good coach and he plays attractive football. Now does that mean he should be the manager though?
    1
  117. That 500 million could be explained for one season but not several seasons. City are in a different league. Unless you know more about what Chelsea have done over the last several seasons.
    1
  118. They are not at the club. They are just giving their opinions. Nothing else. We probably would have a different opinion as fans than what they have.
    1
  119.  @siphobanda1707  Maguire is one man he cannot make a whole team play football and he just had a bad season and ironically his good seasons before that are just ignored.
    1
  120. Why would the sale be good. Utd are already in great financial shape even with the pandemic shut down. There is no financial danger to Utd and the clubs spends money on players. I would be great to see Sir Jim Ratcliffe take over the club but Utd do not need rich owners.
    1
  121. It would also be a good move for Utd as well as the £60 million would be used to rebuild the team and Ronaldo would get champions league football with chelsea.
    1
  122. Maguire is one player and cannot be held to account for everything. Against Liverpool Utd only had two shots and 28% of the possession. Under no circumstance can you blame Maguire for that.
    1
  123.  @Walkalonghere  FFP allows a club to build a stadium through investment, build a youth development system and do a lot of other good stuff. When money is correctly applied there is no issue. Newcastle if they are wise would focus on those things and adapting a stylish form of football to the club. People would admire that.
    1
  124. The Glazers are serious owners but the anti semitism on display is always going to go unchallenged.
    1
  125. I think he realizes it could be detrimental to British culture.
    1
  126.  @Onemoreday1623  Newcastle does have massive potential but they cannot just buy it.
    1
  127. City is not going to be able to get a super league going. Who is going to join them PSG?
    1
  128.  @damifash758  Need I remind you this is 2021 and Messi has not had an influential season in a long time. Messi has been nowhere near the level of his previous best nor even at the level of other top players today. None of this is about the finish of the club but the actual ability and performance of the player who gets the award. Players in the past have got awards without actually winning anything.
    1
  129. Most fans are full of nonsense and have no idea what they are talking about. Utd are healthy business and when it is sorted out on the pitch they will be raking in the cash.
    1
  130. Sometimes it is just better to have an owner that is more transparent. Having the Glazers would just be better in that aspect.
    1
  131. He cannot make a few words because he knows there is a toxic fanbase out there and a media that would capitalize on that. The Glazers are not attention seeking media whores like some involved in football.
    1
  132. Training does not start for a few weeks so they have enough time to get the right players. There is no point rushing as Utd have the money and are in a strong bargaining position.
    1
  133. Liverpool is probably about to fire Klopp.
    1
  134. They can demand all they want but they do not own the club so they can take their dilution and stuff it.
    1
  135. Why a salary cap? Certain clubs have earned the right through the generations to pay players what they are capable of paying. What if there is a salary cap and then certain clubs start trying to find ways to cheat that?
    1
  136. That might be about to change. This might be the first coach that gets full control.
    1
  137. Of course he did not understand it but why make a big deal out of him not understanding. People have to learn. This was a great lesson to the owners of the clubs and maybe they will take the tradition more seriously now.
    1
  138. Not at all. I tis not a clean slate and people need to get off their back.
    1
  139.  @connectlogic  Yes people did it to Lukaku to the point he was forced out of the club.
    1
  140. You are talking crap about Steve Bruce being an improvement over Ole. When Ole took over the team had no defensive line at all, no attacking line and a centre forward that wanted to leave the club and was in the midst of a depression. Ole left the job with a team that could actually play attacking football but was also flawed so stop talking crap and acting as if Ole was responsible for the clubs demise. Ole has been part of the progression of the first team and now hopefully Rangnick can make the next step up to playing better football. Ole should have been replaced last summer.
    1
  141. They need to focus on getting the team playing football and having a good league season. Man Utd have Won the Europa league before and went onto to flop. May be next season a good run in Europe alongside a good league run could do wonders for confidence. Utd are coming from such a low point but they do well in the league and look confident and then Europa league it could be a good sign.
    1
  142. I do not think the task is as big as people make it out to be. There are already quality players in the Man Utd side and with 5 new players Ten Hag could have the Utd team playing great football that may not win anything but it would be a start. If he is ruthless with the players and has a style of play that he can implement he will be successful.
    1
  143.  @Azoria4  He wants a shout out from the other Kenyan fans. Sort of like holding up a plaque at a game or a flag. Shout out to the Kenyans.
    1
  144. Paying their way out will not work this time.
    1
  145. Is that story true?
    1
  146.  @kanedNunable  Liverpool are having issues on the pitch which Klopp can fix if given the opportunity. City is a completely different ball game.
    1
  147. They already walked away decades ago with the formation of the EPL and champions league. There has not been a new team added to european top football in the last 30 years because of the champions league. The 1988 European cup final was between PSV and Porto. The 1989 final was between AC Milan and Steaua București.
    1
  148. That makes absolutely no sense at all. What you are saying is if things do not exactly go as you want you will throw your toys out of the pram.
    1
  149. I would not say it is he best league in the world but it is the toughest where every game is like a cup final.
    1
  150.  @damienhostey7804  You are talking pure nonsense. The club needs money from nobody so people need to stop with that crap.
    1
  151. In Maguire's first season the defence conceded 36 goals which is a championship level defence. Since that time the Utd team as a whole has gone backwards and cannot keep teams of them. Maguire and Varane in a good attacking team would be rock solid.
    1
  152. You are talking crap.
    1
  153. Utd need just one new midfield player who can pass the ball and probably a forward. WIth that Utd will not win but they can start to make the team play the ETH way.
    1
  154. Both of those players have a long way to go before they can get any credit. They both have a clean sheet right now and need to prove them self. They do not need to throw in wild tackles just try and play a good game. Nothing exciting and they need to be able to pass the ball forward more.
    1
  155. They are two over rated players. They have far more appearances in the modern game than players of the past. Both of them never performed at a world cup nor have they really performed in the big finals on a consistent basis. They are most certainly great players but way overrated.
    1
  156. They are not protesters.

  157. Gary has no ability to protect a manager at Utd.

  158. Unless ETH wants a Chelsea player there is no point. Utd getting £60 million for Ronaldo could pay for 2 new young players for the first team. Such as Right back and new young forward player.

  159. The whole Glazers thing is pure anti-Semitism. People keep talking about how they take dividends. Well that is one of the things that a listed company can do or they can just pour the money back in and up the share value. It is funny how city got a pass for a whole decade while everybody piled in on the glazers.

  160. I do not buy into the idea that the Utd club needs restructuring. It most certainly needs a restructuring at first team coaching level but not at the club level. Man Utd have been profitable even during he shut down and they have always given the managers and coaches funds.

  161. If he is good enough to be the manager for 4 months then give him a few seasons to implement his football at the first team level and at the club at large. Utd made a mistake of not being able to integrate the ferguson system throughout the clubs DNA.

  162. @S. Are you talking about the Glazers. They have managed Utd well off the field but not on it. If they stuck around and let Ten Hag continue whiners would disappear for a decade and then come back out with their anti-Semitic rants.

  163. He would be fantastic for Chelsea and the price would be £60 million and he probably would be the top goals scorer this season and may get them to win the Champions league final. He scored 24 goals in 38 games for Man utd imagine what he could do with Chelsea.

  164. Maybe this season Maguire, Varane and Lindelöf will be enough.

  165. I do not think he involves himself in the football side at all. Ole brought him in a few times to liven things up but that was about it.

  169. EPL and FA has to really show up for this or they will look really bad.

  170. Those stats are not that impressive. Both players have had far more games to play in the. The early stages of the champions league is normally full of crap teams were they get most of their goals. The modern game has far more appearances and sports science has allowed these overrated players to have longer careers hence why they have more goals. Pele career was over at 30, best was finished when he was 26 and Cruijff was finished when he hit 30. Players are now going into their late 30s.

  171.    Those players have more opportunities than the greats had in the past.

  172. Man Utd Already had Van Gaal and did not allow him enough time to rebuild the team. Rangnick may have a better team now than Van Gaal had so we will need to wait and see.

  173. Arsenal have money as they have not splashed out over the years and have also paid of their stadium because of that. Man Utd are the same they have cash and rarely spend it.

  174. Not this time.

  175. There has been an offer put forward.

  177. If UEFA and EPL and FA gang up on the clubs they would find them self out in the cold.

  178. If you have the money make the offer otherwise stop being stupid.

  179. The appropriate punishment is easy. City should be stripped of all titles, expulsed from the English league and then have to reapply. Fines are not enough for the level of charges that are being brought forward. There is also a risk that they have issues with the HMRC. There is no middle ground if the EPL does not do what is necessary the brand will be damaged and the Government will appoint oversight to the whole industry. The government is champing at the bit to get involved and are just waiting for the right opportunity. The eyes of the world are on the EPL. This news has already gone global.

  180. Do not be so smart as Burnley have their own genius managers.
