Quote from: Ethan Tremblay on Today at 11:13:40 AMWould McKenna risk his reputation going to United or Chelsea at the moment with the state they are both in? Both are a poisoned chalice. 

He has done a brilliant job getting Ipswich successive promotions, and there would be little expectations of Ipswich in the PL next year, survival probably the height of it. 

If he had any sense, he should bide his time before going for the bigger job.  United are still going to be in some sort of disarray next season, and Ten Heg going is a matter 'when' rather than 'if' at this point. 

If he had sense he should let Ten Heg absorb and resolve some of the issues over the next few months (clear out players etc) rather than jump into a mess he has not created, and get trashed for it. 
If he doesn't take a big job now, and Ipswich struggle next year, which is likely, He may never get an option of a big job again. Expectations are prob low for both United and Chelsea now so you'd like to think he'll get 2 years without much agro given the starting point.
He could go to either and regardless of how they do, he will be financially in a different place. Even if they ditch him before the end of the contract.
Vincent Kompany just got relegated with Burnley and looks to be on his way to Bayern Munich now!

Decent game, the Aviva looked well. Deserved win for Atlanta.
Didn't Lookman play for Everton previously ?

Quote from: Blowitupref on May 22, 2024, 08:13:27 PMGood start for Atalanta rewarded with a 1-0 lead.  2-0 now a good finish,  Leverkusen  unbeaten run in danger now.
Sure they don't start til 90 min plus!

Used to follow Shels when I lived in Dublin,lived beside Tolka Park so went to games.
Bohs/Shamrock Rovers probably biggest rivals both on and off the pitch.

Was easy enough for City in the end, it's bizarre how some thought it was bizarre that they were favorites  ;D

Did Man United make it into any of the European places?
Do they get the Europa League because they are in FA Cup Final?

Quote from: From the Bunker on May 19, 2024, 07:19:06 PMFergie won a league with 75 points in 1996–97. Newcastle were 2nd with 68.  ;D
Have the top teams got better or have the lower teams got worse?

So the Klopp era ends with a win. As a neutral I've admired him greatly. Liverpool are a completely different club now compared to the one he took over.
What a job he has done for them.

City 1 up after 2 mins, not going to be much excitement on the last day it seems.

Quote from: snoopdog on May 16, 2024, 07:40:35 AMSpurs had a great season and they're only 6 pts, 2 wins better than a bad United side. If United by some miracle  win the Cup, Ten Hag has had a better season than the Farewell Flopp. The main issue with that team is being constantly over run in the middle. 1 correct purchase could be worth an extra 10 points next season, but it's not too often utd get it right in the transfer market this last 10 years or so.
Would a cup win really be a better season over Liverpool?  Liverpool punched above their weight given the big overhaul in midfield and competed for the title for a prolonged period of time and qualified easily for Champions League.

United are more than likely going to finish on a negative goal difference over 38 games(embarassing given the money spent) and have shifted little or none of the deadwood that ETH inherited when he got the job. 
Don't go there statto, apparently he was only fishing  :D
