It’s all a bit shit really. 2020. The year that keeps on ‘giving’.

It's one for the 'Shitness of Modern Football' thread. Gareth Bale currently gets paid more than that in a week to sit on his arse in Madrid.

Exactly. Most people here supported Macc & one of the Manchester clubs. Why neither of them couldn’t have helped the club out prior to this with a friendly match.  Never mind. 146 years of history all over now.

Tuchel could be unemployed by the time he's having his cornflakes in the morning.

18 M€ for the sacking according to L’Equipe.

Cheque will have to be post dated.

Sadly I think this is inevitable unless something changes. Lower league clubs live hand to mouth. I dont know how many have managed to survive with no fans in stadiums.

 

And what fucking use is 1000 fans in a ground to anyone? Utter joke.

Agree on both counts

One for the "Guys Who tell Porkies" thread:

 

Former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said he only watched 25 minutes of the first episode of the club's All or Nothing documentary.

Ssn saying Bale to Spurs is a one year loan worth 20 million the fuss they are making over it you'd swear Messi was checking in 

[TheHowieLama]

There is zero chance Spurs are going to pay 20 mil for one year of Gareth Bale.

Wages and loan fees apparently

That may be the "total" fees but I would be surprised of Spurs pay half of that.

 

Edit -- I hope they do, but they won't. This is a guy who has scored @ a dozen golas in the last two years. TBH I think he will not do much if he comes back - so I hope he does.

[Bobby Hundreds]

The amount he's played the last few years surely his body will implode.

Half his wages is £15 million plus a £5 million loan fee?

Ridiculous to even consider - this is a guy who never scored 20 golas in a season playing for Real Madrid in fuckin La Liga. He had a single good season for Tottenham - think he will get found out real quick in this league.

During the last few seasons I've only really seen him in Wales games and he's only half the player he was. 

[Josef Svejk]

If Bale can stay fit, he'll be good. Not sure why people are so dismissive...

[aws]

He'll be good but I don't think he'll be getting back the pace that made him special. 

[TheHowieLama]

20 million a year for a good player is not good.

[Harry Squatter]

Some nice news in between all the transfer news.

I see the first two games today are relegation six pointers....
