Yes, probably not. Think his clause will likely keep him at Sporting for another year. Or maybe Bayern/Liverpool (whichever of them won't get Xabi) will take a risk with him.

I really like Amorim, would be a great hire for you.

1. True, we got more bad than good results from the players who were supposed to "bring Barca back". But that's what you get when you give an unproven coach like Xavi so much power. He was our de facto SD handpicking all the signings and we could say that the best ones were actually free agents...

Totally agree that Laporta is way over his head losing touch with reality and still living in 2009. Might finish his mandate doing the club more longterm harm than previous board. As for your first point bringing players through academy is exactly what we've been doing for years. We have 16...

Yes. Could actually see one team play on Tuesday and the other on Thursday as well. It's not like Sporting and Benfica are playing on the same stadium like Inter and AC Milan (or Roma and Lazio) which is the only case when swapping the legs makes sense. And it already happened IIRC.

Cheapest option. Kind of agree but not totally. Cheapest option would be Rafa Marquez who is already at the club so would only need to give him a small wage raise to be promoted to the first team. But after initially being quite highly rated by the board his stocks have fallen lately imo...

What's even worse is half of the victims were kids Stephanie Meyer, chief nursing officer for Children's Mercy Kansas City, said it was treating 12 patients from the rally, including 11 children between the ages of 6 and 15. The hospital told KMBC-TV that nine of the children had gunshot...

Terrible. Would say I'm surprised but tbf I'm not really. Shooting is sadly on a "daily menu" in the US these days.

Nothing surprising here tbf, we were always unlikely to hire a manager who is under contract with another club. Looks like Hansi Flick is our favorite rn. That said, De Zerbi's agents were in Barcelona today. ;) But at the same time they are also representing Ronald Araujo so pretty sure...

True. Just poor tackling technique overall in the league. Not sure how much that is down to coaching though. Clearly it plays some role but I think there are other factors as well. Seahawks were one of the best tackling teams during LOB times. Def a lot of that was because of the talent we've...

He's half of Carroll's age and we went from the oldest HC in the league to the youngest. Would prefer Ben Johnson but I like this hire. More intriguing than someone like Dan Quinn for example (BTW, he was just hired by the Commanders. Their new owner is probably not happy to miss out on both...

Look at the list of our former managers I've mentioned in previous post. Most of them were far less proven than RDZ is rn and have not won much if anything in their careers before getting Barca job. They were either: 1. former players - Guardiola, Vilanova (he was also Pep's assistant coach)...

Absolutely no chance for Pep's return. Also no way Klopp takes over although I'm sure media will run some stories about him. Man looks exhausted and genuinely wants to rest for a year or two. Or maybe take over some NT job that comes with less day to day pressure. Thiago Motta was reported as...

I know we could do worse without him but still think it was the right decision. That I didn't really expect especially since yesterday PC was still talking how he plans to return. This man is a legend and fans should be forever grateful to him for what he's done but it was time for a change...

Yes. Better for us we don't get to the playoffs anyway, we would get demolished there with this joke of a defense. Carroll is out of ideas, he needs to retire and we should hire a young offensive minded HC an draft a QBOTF. We have some good pieces on offense, should find someone who can make...

Humphries from 2-4 to win it 7-4. Congrats. No, you weren't wrong, the highest averages I've posted were from before the semifinals. Humphries ended with an average of 108,75 IIRC. Yes, he was almost unbeatable in 2016-17.

Had 110+ average after 5 sets, too bad he couldn't keep it up until the end to join MvG and Taylor. Overview with top-10 highest averages at World Darts Championships 114.05 Michael van Gerwen (2017 semifinal, 6-2 against Raymond van Barneveld) 111.21 Phil Taylor (Second round 2002, 6-1...

Humphries is unbelieavable too.

This kid is amazing.

He's out for around 2,5 months. Doubt he'll leave Betis in January.
