Tuchel to United mooted ... the dream. We'd get to enjoy ten Hag eating shit again in public before probably moving on to a better run club within weeks, then a period of improved results prior to a guaranteed multi-party dummy spit.

Paquetá denies wrongdoing and any knowledge of the suspicious bets, which have been traced to Paquetá Island, off the coast of Rio de Janiero.

If he didn't want to get caught, he might have avoided having his partners make their bets from an island named after him. 😆

That's actually good news for us, he looked headed for City and would have helped them out a lot.

    CPM that means they can go for whatever CM we want instead.

      CPM Terrible news for West Ham, bet that wiped the smile off Lopetegui's face and made Moyes' furlough piña coladas taste a little sweeter … instead of raking in £50m+ they'll be chaperoning a Tonali-style situation for a season or something.

      In my mind's eye "Paquetá Island" is a place a bit like Tortuga from PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, but with a gigantic boardwalk sports bar where all Paquetá's deadbeat Brazilian pirate mates sit around getting trashed and placing bets on his disciplinary issues. 😆

      Southampton promoted to PL

      I think we're better equipped now to smash them at their place rather than succumb to a limp loss.

      I know it’s their 4th consecutive league title but that’s still a travesty.

        Didn't realise Manchester had gone back into lockdown.....

        The way Leicester collapsed from a huge points lead and almost gave away automatic promotion tells me I should be happy with this appointment.

        I would be worried if they appointed Mckenna instead

          Very quirky leadership at Chelsea. It's this combination of demanding to be seen as ultra-rational, progressive and innovative while actually being megalomaniacal and madder than a cut snake that's funny. In the old days the madmen were happy enough to be thought of as such.

          INEOS are showing signs too.

            Clrnc I still think going from Ipswich to the high stakes car crash that is Chelsea would be a step too far for McKenna. Ditto for going to Man U. Brighton is a more feasible step up for him.

              Clrnc is he? Seems just as likely to get sacked mid-season and fade into obscurity as anything. Stock may never be higher.

                Coombs

                Highly unlikely they’ll sack him, and anything above 18th and his stock probably goes up.

                  I have seen more people at bus stops than this
