Nowhere in the article was it suggested that he needed direct communication from the CEO or Boehly. They just included those two in the list of people he had not heard from, including any department heads.

He was basically given no communication at all until just before the season and even then it was sort of a gradual reduction of duties with no reason given.

It’s definitely a non-standard way of letting someone go.

It’s not really another way though is it? Or rather, or it’s not adding more decisions to be made. Previously it was “Do I give this person a a yellow or nothing for saying that to me” and now it’s “Do I give this person an orange or nothing for saying that to me”.

It won’t be millionaire footballers doing this lol. Why would they?

face a three-match ban

I don’t think that’s right. Van Dijk only got an extra game for “personally abusive” language, so I’d bet Dunk gets the same.

10 of those 23 minutes were to Liverpool as well, until Grealish turned into the best player in the world.

The headline is accurate if that’s what you’re asking.

That’s pretty much how all UK papers work, yeah.

De Vrij’s agent took a commission on his transfer to Inter that he didn’t tell him about. De Vrij was awarded half of that commission and now the agent is appealing that.

This is asking for the opposite. Fewer soft penalties.

There is one maxim of /r/soccer.

If a headline has “How” in the title, there will be at least one snarky comment in the replies oversimplifying the point of the article.

I will say this about the FA. I take a lot more stock in what they have to say about referee abuse than I do the PGMOL. They need to consider the standard of refereeing at every level of the game and there is a huge problem with attracting referees to the sport. The PGMOL are just soft twats.

Depth isn’t only a matter of numbers, it’s also a matter of quality.

Liverpool don’t even have an injury problem this year compared to the rest. What are you on about?

I see this repeated a lot but it’s not true in reality. Pep and Klopp rotate more than anyone. Having deep benches allow you to do that. Clubs with shallower benches are forced to play their best XI more often.

I have no problem with the premise of the headline, but how tired do you think the headline writer was when he wrote “and the stats suggest…they will go higher”. If raw cauliflower was a sentence.

Chelsea see HG money as key

Redditors have just invented this FFP quirk as something that Chelsea are using as their accounting panacea. They still have to build a functioning team.

It sounds like the update is that he’s been left out of the England squad, meaning he’s for sure out a couple weeks. Not a lot of details beyond that.

It’s how a lot of people end up going at that age, even more so if they’re not in a care home.

It is funny that the club tries to dunk on Spurs over the Willian transfer with pieces like this when they apparently had to fudge their accounts to land him.

He wouldn’t have slept a minute last night.
