That was the Week that Was (Apr 29 - May 3 2024)

Monday Apr 29:

 

The PL clubs have voted in favour of a kind of spending cap. Both manc teams voted against it, as did Villa for some bizarre reason, while Chelsea abstained. What the fuck are they abstaining for? Anyway, it isn’t confirmed yet as this vote was about agreeing to explore the possibility and there’ll be another vote in June when the proposal is finalised. I haven’t read up on it too much as it feels pretty pointless anyway. The top clubs can spend 4.5 times the amount that the lowest earning club brings in per year. Apparently we already spend less than that so the only teams this benefits are ones who want to spend more than that. Had Newcastle voted no it would have made sense, but I don’t know what the fuck Villa are up to.

 

There’s a report today that Mo wants a new contract and there’s another report that Liverpool have no plans to cut him loose this summer. No idea where either report came from, but if Mo’s agent if putting it out there that he wants a new contract just two days after what happened with him and Klopp, that’s pretty fucking snide. Maybe that’s not what happened, who knows.

 

Not too long ago I’d have said it makes sense to extend him. He was having a very productive season. Now? I’d be surprised if it happened because things have changed considerably. Klopp is leaving, Edwards is back, and Mo’s form has been absolutely horrendous since he returned from injury.

 

Edwards doesn’t like handing out big deals to players who are over 30. Klopp won’t be here to push for it and for all anybody knows Slot might fancy not having to deal with the potential noise any time he names a starting eleven with Mo not in it, or if he brings him off when he’s having a stinker. If Mo starts next season looking like himself again then maybe I could see Edwards coming up with some kind of incentivised contract, but as of now I think the most likely scenario is that Mo goers into next season with one year left and then Edwards will assess it as the season goes on.

Hadn’t realised Clattenburg had gone. What a fucking dickhead. He obviously sold himself to Marinakis as some sort of fixer, and now he’s been outed as a glorified “outraged from Southport’ letter writer he’s been let go and Marinakis is probably plotting to have his kids kidnapped and tortured.


No other owners want to complain about City because they’re secretly all hoping to hit the jackpot with a similar buyer. Want to see the other clubs react? Quickest route to that would be a massively wealthy buy out of LFC. Then sit back and watch the football machine and media demand action.

 

EDIT INSERT: Those kit photos. Pure Calvert-Lewin, FFS.

 

And finally, Simon Jordan loves himself so much that he sucks his own cock and is a permatanned fucknugget.

You have to feel for Simon Jordan though, he installed mirrors at the bottom of his swimming pool but had to take them out again when he nearly drowned on several occasions.

Multi club ownership is the torryest thing ever. Never do that , or with Brest obviously, in the fairest way posssible.

 

I have no clue what strasbourgeois sing but it is probably «enculés ». Work on your French, Dave, you’ll need it for the trip to Brest in Champions league next season.

He’ll go if you tell him the chips in Bretagne are the best in all of France.
