Probably the moves that make most sense for all clubs:Conte apparently out at Inter.
Spurs have done so well with previous Chelsea managers....why not another?
Inter are broke. Have to sell £80m worth of players give or take.
Because at its heart, this is really a FIFA vs UEFA kerfuffle and they've made a bet on the FIFA side.
It looks like you're going for more official sized goals, so maybe typically playing with goal keepers and 8-10 players or more? For our yard, the 6' Pugg pop-up goals are great. We got some barely used ones on craigslist years ago.
I think you have to take things like this with a grain of salt in today's world. I doubt Inter is in the same financial situation without COVID. Things are gonna look a little different for a couple of years, but things should look better after fans are back and teams resume their regular revenue streams.
Not without his issues though. He's ended several manager jobs on bad terms.
Inter’s financial distress is not directly related to COVID - I think their Chinese owners have financial stress that is impacting Inter.
Are you just wanting Pooch back or is PSG ready to give up on him already? I still think he’s a quality manager and I think he’s better than Ole (for example).
We have some nice small popups for small sided games but my 13yo son wants to work on his free kicks and finishing so looking for something more like what he'll be using in games.
I want Poch and he has been talking to Spurs about returning.
We'll see. Italian clubs weren't that fine even before COVID and their new deal with DAZN for domestic rights doesn't give them much more (if any additional funds)....
I know some of Suning's problems were self made or were caused by government getting involved, but the pandemic HAS to have affected their business as much as any other issues have.
I’m mostly ok with it except when you have an ET away goal eliminate a team - especially in a scenario where the team at home in the 2nd leg was supposed to be “rewarded”.
IMO, FIFA has already lost and lost big.
Pretty sad that you have to pull for UEFA on this...
Agreed that ET goals shouldn't count as away, but otherwise love the rule. Beats extra time or a shootout and (IMO).
it is worse than watching 2 1980's old school heels wrestle each other.
We'll see...this is just the first salvo. The bigger salvo is the WC every two years which effectively takes money from UEFA and reallocates it to the rest of the world. Granted the Euro's could move to off-years even then, but they loose their luster.

Conte does this every so many yrs. He'll have some success make some demands and then when said demands aren't meant he'll threaten to leave. I guess Cote decided he had enough of Inter and empty promises. Theres some speculation amongst Calcio that Conte left as he knows Inter's Owners Chineese Suining is in bigger financial trouble then whats been led on. Also lukaku and Conte are really close and one of the only reasons he went to inter was Conte. So now there's speculation if Lukaku ask's for outConte apparently out at Inter.

Inter's Ownership is bankrupt. China also told all big companies to stop any big foreign financial and economical transactions outside of the country. There's rumors that Inter have yet to pay Lukaku transfer in full and may not be able too as well. There's also been speculation that Inter may not be able to afford to pay player wages too. It's a mess. There's some rumblings if Inter can't pay the player and coaching wages Serie A might dock them Points that would strip the Scudetto from them as well, but we haven't gotten nearly that far yet.
Feel like the excerpt is enough. Wouldn't want any part of him in a locker room. Great player, butI am stillat that Zlatan piece. People online say the whole article is full of goodies like that one...
Fifa and UEFA did nothing to really solve and protect club owners from themselves. This is one of the good things the Super League wanted to incorporate that their economical ruling would protect clubs from themselves. The bigger issue is you don't get into owning a football club to make money. If you do, then you clearly have no idea how soccer works from a financial standpoint. Big clubs pay huge fees to take younger players and ok with paying agent fees. Lets take Paul Pogba and Mino Rialo for example. He went to ManU and they paid a huge fee for him plus a huge commission to Riola. That started a downward spiral of bigger transfer and agent commissions. This is why Gigi Donnarumma will not be Milan's Keeper next year because of this.
They were having issues before Covid. The Chineese Government has some impact on this as they told Companies to stop big financial investments outside the country.
If Inter and Milan can get their New stadium and Inter fix their ownership issues both those clubs would be in a lot better shape.
Good news for Milan and Diaz depending on the new manager at Madrid. Brahim wants to stay at Milan and they want him. Depending if he has a future with the new manager or not Milan might ask for another loan with Option to buy this time around.Exclusive.

Yes we can thank Mino Rialo. There's talk he's going to Juve or Barca as they are offering 10M a year and big commission to Mino. This is what I was talking about above why some of these clubs are in terrible financial shape.
Inter in talks Simone Inzaghi & Allegri (who is negotiating a contract with Juventus) according to Di Marzio
