Shit Club No History

Claudius

Meatwad this. I don’t fuck with Argentina

flobaba FIFA has gotta do something but I still wouldn't want to be the FIFA bureaucrat with my name trailed on hundreds of fascist and "anti-woke" media outlets for supposedly having expelled Messi into premature retirement from international football.

flobaba

You do nothing, and you've potentially started the end of FIFA as an organization. It's not something that can be ignored or swept under the rug. You lose all credibility. They have no choice, they will do something. It's how you balance what you have to do with your proclaimed zero tolerance for racism - that is the line they have to skillfully tread now. I don't think they're that skillful

Mirth

Must say I have new found respect for the usual PR press spin that's published in the past when other players get caught out. At least it kills the story without emboldening the racists.

Meatwad

damn, kolo muani these racists wouldn't be heard from today if you had done your job.

French and Moroccan fans are not having a bar of Argentina.

Edit: just noticed the immutable headline "slug" in the article permalink announces the wrong result. 😆

What a club

Segway

Wow 😆

GooneriC

He's gonna get sacked soon enough. Easiest payday in world football for a manager

Burnwinter

GooneriC He's gonna get sacked soon enough.

Not if people keep saying "You're just going to sack him, aren't you?" to Boehly. The guy's incredibly susceptible to reverse psychology going by his transfer strategy.

I wonder if the second string is going to lead a Spartacus style revolt.

Claudius

Burnwinter I wonder how many players he can genuinely recognise and name.

Burnwinter

Claudius "Yeah, well, actually I went along to development training this morning. That Spartacus is a real peach. Great physicality, great opportunity, great prospect. He's really going places."

Are you guys following this? Chelsea is a proper three ring circus right now.

JazzG

I've got my popcorn ready and hoping the club is run into the ground!

Claudius

None of this shit makes sense. I can’t believe a high return PE fund looked at one of the most valuable football clubs in the world and thought “yeah, this is where we wil get a whopping return”. I’d love to see the investor presentation. These guys definitely had some crazy ideas about how they could outsmart the system - through better player trading or a super league.

Burnwinter

This is all karma after the corruption of the Abramovich era. Sounds like it'll hold them back for a little while longer.
