They couldn't make a firm choice on a new manager from the available pool so I guess ETH had some power in that respect. I'm not too surprised at how it's gone though. The background management is still not 100% so whatever.
We go again. Injuries didn't help but how he set up the team needs to change. He needs to be #brave.

It's a prudent move by ineos.
It's not a big commitment on their side but looks like a backing whilst giving him an extra year's security. It give ETH time to fix his mistakes.

seems like they’ve verbally agreed a deal, but they’re also saying liverpool are interested, and are still trying to sign him.
By bud Go To PostNot convinced he has the ability to step up to the required physical level (strength / speed) that the EPL demands. Felt he struggled few times against Mouhs Roma, but a step to a club like Brighton is at least a smart move.

Thought this was still in the early stages of negotiations. Good to have someone in charge of recruitment. Things are coming together pretty quickly now our football ops.
Expecting Argentina tonight to either destroy us or we play some of the worse anti-football since 2004 Greece and lose narrowly. There is no circumstance under which I expect us to win tonight unless Argentina gets like 3 red cards. Even without Messi, Argentina should beat us.

He's not ready for a club like Liverpool yet. Brighton would be a nice move to get used to the EPL. If he does well I certainly hope we've negotiated a nice sell-on clause. 👀
Excelsior are also expected to receive a nice fee: 15% of the net profit.

I was promised the best generation yet but it has been very mid.
By recon_zero Go To PostI am so disappointed in Ecuador. I was promised the best generation yet but it has been very mid.That's what happens when you don't pick the 26 best players to represent your country and instead pick players you want to show off on a big stage so you can then sell cause the corrupt football federation is in bed with the owner of Independiente del Valle. This isn't speculation either, the owner of Independiente del Valle was vice-president of FEF until he resigned "cause he didn't have time". The true reason he resigned is because the blatant conflict of interest and naked corruption was generating too much criticism so now he can work from the shadows and have plausible deniability. They hire the worst manager (Félix Sánchez Bas) from the worst team (shit Qatar cunts) of the last World Cup to be a powerless puppet who has no say whatsoever in anything and is merely a public figurehead. Players not in the Independiente del Valle network are discouraged from being called up. If we had a real manager with a real structure like say, Guillermo Almada, we'd be a real football team that can compete instead of the sorry-ass auction house we currently are.
Also, this whole "best generation ever" is nothing but a crock of bullshit generated by the media (traditional and social). There isn't a single fucking player on the team as good as Alex Aguinaga. He would be the undisputed superstar if we walked into the team today in his prime. Same with guys like Agustín Delgado, Iván Kaviedes, Ulises de la Cruz, Iván Hurtado, Édison Méndez, Chucho Benítez, etc... The 2002 and 2006 World Cup squads would smoke the current team.
By BrentMused Go To PostIs it just too hot over there for 120 minute matches? Extra time is normally shit anyway.I think it's a CONMEBOL thing cause the rules in Copa Libertadores are the same and this is technically a CONMEBOL tournament with CONCACAF as co-organizer.
By Scum Go To PostStrong signing. Get a real world-class 9 like Osimhen or someone in that mold, stop fucking around with shit bench players like Tap-in Jesus or Eddie Nkeitah, and they'll win trophies.
He looked great at the Euros, I imagine we'll be eventually phasing out Gabriel though which is understandable as he is the weakest part of our back 4 atm but still I love him :lol

By Scum Go To PostLiked the way he played for Italy. Wonder if Arteta will use him as a LB. Arsenal back line of Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori looks strong.
