Slight correction...they may return to the EFL next year. The EPL is still four years away.
Jesse March available to manage the USMNT now.
Both Leipzig and Leeds said they would give him time. Both cut him off at the knees. Every new hire is told they will get run but interesting to see who is actually given leeway and who is not.
Odds ManCity faces any real consequences here?https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12804623/man-city-premier-league-charges-explained-what-are-they-what-could-punishment-be-whats-the-timescale
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
I think it's weird - or perhaps unforgiving - to bring in 3 starters this transfer window and then not give him time to integrate them and see the results.Especially after saving them from relegation last season.Is there something we don't know?
Either way, I actually agree he shouldn't be the USMNT pick at this point, but I think he should be snatched up in Europe pretty soon. He'd be a great pick for a Championship club with promotion aspirations or a lower Bundesliga club.
Define "real consequences". I think a record setting fine will be the bare minimum. I could very well see a 12-month transfer ban. I think relegation or after-the-fact stripping of titles are unlikely.
£5000 fine and Preston North End gets relegated. 2 things against City: they can't appeal to the CAS and there is no time limit for the Prem to bring charges, unlike UEFA. Kinda crazy that both City and Pool could be looking for new managers soon. (I think Klopp is done after this year.)
They can't appeal to CAS because the Swiss company has no jurisdiction. They can appeal though. I would also replace time limit with stature of limitations. We also don't know how severe the alleged violations were because the court didn't even look into them in 2020 once it was determined they were outside the aforementioned statute of limitations. Another interesting tidbit is that there is no timetable for when this could be resolved. It could be finished this season, it could take several years. From what I've read thus far, it seems like the most severe it will get is a one time points deduction for whatever season is underway. As much as the League wants to make an example of City, they don't want to kick them out because of the revenue they bring. For reference, Juve were just deducted 15 points (although that was by a completely different governing body), and Derby County have recently had a 21 point deduction. I would imagine that any deductions would be significant enough to completely remove them from European contention for the season, but they would not be serious relegation contenders.
Wrexham v Sheffield United in the fourth round replay in the FA Cup. SHU dominating possession, but had Wrex simply connects a couple passes in the attacking third, they may have a chance. They like the long ball counter after drawing SHU deep in their defensive third. Never seen the show, but admittedly I’m feeling the Wrexham buzz watching the game.
About as brutal of a finish that you can have for Wrexham, yikes.
