    Robbie Keane

    He was appointed in June 2023, before the October 7 attack and Israel's response. If he'd taken the job after the scale of Israel's retaliation was known the criticism might have more merit. He did leave at the end of the season.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Well, exactly. I was asking why only 24.9% and not the 25% that would force a mandatory offer? Anyway, it seems the threshold is 30% for Bahamas registered companies (at least according to Google's AI) so that doesn't seem the reason.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Isn't 25% the threshold that requires a company to make a mandatory take-over bid? Or is that only public companies? The purchase seems odd as it comes with little voting rights. I assume they want to take control, so I doubt there will be any investment in t he club without agreement on some...

    The Goon Thread

    It was good to see the two penalties with the stutter step miss and Raya's antics not rewarded. I also found a couple of comments on Gabriel amusing: "The miss from Gabriel Magalhães, his defensive rock, and set-piece tussler-in-chief, was one for the ages." (source) "He is undoubtedly a...

    The Goon Thread

    Yes, I was thinking that hadn't been thought through properly. I doubt the players will be happy about having to appear so soon. Give it a week and they might enjoy the PL win more.

    Champions League 25/26

    Everytime they "simplify" the handball rule it seems to get more complicated. An alternative would be to make every hand ball an offence punishable by an indirect free kick. That would reduce the impact of the decision. Indirect free kicks in the penalty area could be fun. Blatant handballs...

    Champions League 25/26

    Yes, the reasoning was it came off his foot and hit his right hand, rather than directly hitting his hand in an unnatural position. However, subsequent contact with the left hand helped him control the ball. The latter would lead to a disallowed goal at the other end, even if inadvertent...

    Champions League 25/26

    Playing more defensively after getting an early lead is understandable, but playing too defensively is counter-productive. Give away possession quickly and the opposition get more chances. Stop attacking totally and there is no chance of a lucky second goal, while the opposition can safely push...

    Corners in matches

    All referees will give some allowance for time-wasting, but normally this comes at the end of the game. It's rare that there have been 40 minutes of such tactics before half-time and I suspect most referees would be tinkled of by then.

    Determining how to rank English clubs success and where Spurs would rank.

    Overall those results seems reasonable. When the whole historical record is emphasised Everton and Villa are above us, while when PL recency is emphasised Chelsea and Emirates Marketing Project are ahead. One thing I would change is not make it purely based on trophies won. For the league, total points won could...

    Liverpool thread

    I don't think it was the plan, but they got worried by the atmosphere at Anfield in the last couple of games. If it's true that FSG want a coach and not a manager, then replacing Slot may not be the solution. Last summer they made a big deal about chasing Isak, which they did all summer. Even...

    No one slipped over under the pressure.

    To be fair to Kier, he has been consistent on watching football for free.

    Ingerlund

    I guess he's decided on how he wants to play, with natural wide players rather than surplus #10s, and can't accommodate Bellingham, Rogers, Foden and Palmer. It opens him up to obvious criticism if England flop, but he'll get that anyway, so he might as well do it his way. Burn and Henderson...

    Champions League 25/26

    Surprising fact: Budapest will hold the fourth final between clubs from European capital cities after Benfica v Real Madrid in 1962, Real Madrid v Partizan Belgrade in 1966 and Ajax v Panathinaikos in 1971. (The Guardian)
