@RedDevil766364 @jthemmings Real Madrid is about to re hire Mourinho, 13 years after they sacked him. The coaching options that are available are not impressive.

@jthemmings I’m struggling to accept that the very best in class option available to us next season is a manager with a Championship level CV. I’d like to think that INEOS are aggressively head hunting. If we hire Michael, I want to know what INEOS have been doing for 6 months.

I’d argue actually managing United for 6 months and being that good at it you secure 3rd in the league, trumps managing Hoffenheim, Leipzig and Bayern for 18 months Kompany’s gone there and won the league and he’d only managed Burnley prior and got them relegated 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

@Malachians To me, yes. And Mr Hermel.

@charlespatrick_ To you

The arrogance of this is nauseating. Pure snobbery and a contempt for anyone who finds something entertaining that he doesn’t. There are goals scored every week that can’t be defended because a defender can only react to what an attacker does and if they do everything right, they score.

🚨🤯 French football writer Frédéric Hermel has SLAMMED the PSG-Bayern semi-final as a “TikTok-era” match: 🗣️ “That’s not football. This sport is built on a goalkeeper, a defence, a midfield and an attack — but in this game, there was ONLY attack. Both teams took away three quarters of what real football is. ❌ What we saw Tuesday night is the symbol of the TikTok era — constant intensity, constant speed, no pause, no thinking. Poor football. Poor world.” Do you agree with him? 🤔

that 123M peak is bigger than your favs entire career thats why he will forever be the king of pop. INSANE!

@Metz_BG Players can ask for whatever they want but very few clubs (2-Man city, Madrid)are going to pay wages that are far above average for a player. And those teams already have top players in Oshimens position. So to ask for humongous wages despite knowing this.. is interesting..

Social media has a real problem with black footballers asking and being paid a fair wage that reflects their talent.

@redman_316 @livinlifegrande @ImpressionistAL There is nothing beautiful about poor defending by sides that are supposed to be elites.

@livinlifegrande @ImpressionistAL Always one sad cunt that can't just enjoy the beauty of this game to the neutral

The greatest game in Champions League history, don’t even come at me with recency bias, holy shit this is the beautiful game.

@Metz_BG @PexkRioCFC Oshimen was asking for silly wages, no one was going to pay except maybe City. And city already has Harland.

@PexkRioCFC Arsenal signed Gyokeres. United signed Sesko. Osimhen was available and they both passed on him.

The PL. They're coming from the PL, but big PL clubs have now hired data analyst and nerds who do not want to sign them, because their mates cannot get a commission fee & they won't get any credit for "unearthing" the next South American wonderkid.

@bombholt @privateeyeruss How would time based triggers work in paternity fraud?

@privateeyeruss Alimony has time based triggers. The penalty needs that component. Denial of legacy opportunity is rape.

A law should be passed that a man who finds out he has been supporting a child that is not his is entitled to a full refund plus interest. If a law like that existed the state would make sure to make paternity testing mandatory because the money had to be refunded their cut of the proceeds would have to be refunded also.

@OmarBerrada @B_Fernandes8 bring him to old Trafford. Can’t miss out on him.

@AdamJoseph Are we definitely getting 3 midfielders?

It is noticeable that Aurélien Tchouaméni has been linked to Manchester United by journalists who are briefed directly by the club. They wouldn't be doing this without encouragement from the player's camp. The club, much like with Benjamin Sesko, have been interested in him for a long time dating back to when he was at Monaco. Maybe he ends up signing a new contract at Real Madrid, but maybe he doesn't. Heading into the summer of the midfielder you can't get too attached to one player & the mix of the three CM signings will be more important, but they still need to bring in a #1 premium target. Tchouaméni is that. What a signing & a player like this would do for Kobbie Mainoo & Bruno Fernandes is tantalising.

@UtdEra28 @ConnorF1878 United is not like most clubs. There’s so much pressure playing for United .. it’s more like Madrid in that respect. Man management will always be more important than tactical nous.

@ConnorF1878 This is not to say that man management isn’t equally or not more important. But Klopp, Arteta, and Pep are all extremely good tacticians. United has to have that level too.

Madrid and United will always need an elite man manager over a tactician you (should) have quality across the pitch, inflated wages and players that think they’re the best itw—you need a manager that can juggle the politics of the role Nagelsmann is not that man

@SwedishRumble But do we really want to match city's wage bill?

‼️A few extremely important notes to this: 🔺 It is — total wages — payed to all employees. Man City has a very slim organization since they buy different services from City Football Group (which is a general cost, not a wage). Man Utd on the other hand still have a behemoth of an organization with many expensive employees to handle NYSE listing requirements etc. So while City’s wage bill is “just” £140m more expensive than United’s (ie equal to 14 players earning 200k a week) the real difference in player wage bill is closer to £180m. 🔺It is often said that these high wage bills are just bonuses. But this is the wage bill City has when finishing 3rd in the PL and losing in the R16 of the CL. Liverpool played in the Europa League in 23/24, and their wage bill was still £402m. £80m more than United’s last season when United went to the finals of the EL. So this enormous difference between the wage bills of City/Liverpool and United has nothing to do with bonuses. With the exact same results — the gap is £100-150m in player wages. 🔺I have posted about these things for years, because it was getting no coverage. People still thought Utd had high wages due to Capology which is just random guesses. But I still don’t think people realize just how big the difference is. Like last season, the difference between United and City’s player wage bill was literally at least equal to the cost of 15.5 players earning 200k a week. And if you take into account wages for non players, and it’s over 18 players on 200k a week. 200k a week is 10.4m a year. 180m is 18 players on 200k a week. Again — this is when City is finishing 3rd and losing in the “play in” in the CL. I’ll repeat it — their player wage bill exceeded United’s with a cost equal to 15.5-18 players on 200k a week. How many pundits following United/the PL do you guys think have grasped this? I called @AndyMitten out for not pressuring Berrada about this in the interview before the season. How can anyone seriously think United can compete being this far behind financially? They claim that they believe it’s realistic to win a title in two years. 🔺Then people think we have a realistic chance of winning a transfer race for an Antoine Semenyo. Elliot Anderson? I heard Ben Jacobs say that money won’t matter for Anderson, it’s all about the project. Facts are that both these players will earn about 37.5-50m more over 5 years signing with Liverpool or City. That is generational wealth for all your family and relatives… it takes a lot leave that on the table. 🔺Pep sat at a presser like a month ago talking about “net spend”. City Football Group invests many many hundred of millions a year to produce young talent each year that can be sold for 75-100m to bring down Pep’s net spend. Last summer Bobb, McAtee, Couto and Perrone went for 100m. Facts are that it’s simply absurd and purely dishonest by Pep to claim that City doesn’t have 1.5x the resources of anyone else in the PL besides Liverpool.

Don't shoot the messenger but I've just seen Jonny Evans in JJB Sports trying on a pair of Predators.

@bettybrownsu @VioletaQSmith @evanwch Yes, agency on the woman’s part is important. The world is full of people who do things that require us to show some backbone when we encounter them. If your response to such a situation is to give him what he wants when you don’t want to then you’re not ready to be an adult .

@charlespatrick_ @VioletaQSmith @evanwch This is such a bizarre conversation. It appears this guy was constantly on the prowl, inappropriate with subordinates, a serial douche and cheater and who knows what else, and the focus is on the women’s agency and their responsibilities?

"I gave him my Snapchat" "He started sending me photos of his genitalia" "I felt he could help my career, and if I pushed him away he would stop talking to me" This is such BS. I’ve had men send me unwanted messages as a political operative. You know what I did? I blocked them because I have agency. I have cognitive functioning abilities and can make decisions for myself

@bettybrownsu @VioletaQSmith @evanwch Because she is an adult . She has to own the responsibilities of her actions.. rather than pretend she has no agency.

@VioletaQSmith @evanwch Why does that even matter?

Oh gooo on then how the fuck am I gonna do this names In a wheel of whoever follows me n likes the tweet?😂😂✅

@RFtipsss Yes

Who wants a similar bet tonight for United corners? 👀
