parsforlife Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) There must be some absolutely massive champions league qualification bonuses in the newcastle contracts going by those celebrations.

The Master Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 It’s not a terrible point for Leicester that. It puts a bit of extra pressure on Everton because they’ll now need to beat Bournemouth if Leicester beat West Ham. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think West Ham will make a good few changes for that match, so if Leicester can get ahead early on it will at least ask the question of Everton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentGuerin Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 The Premier League really delivering this week with plucky former League One team Man City winning the league and Newcastle, only recently relegation candidates, coming from nowhere to muscle in on a Champions League spot. Don't give up on your dreams, folks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) I am always a bit skeptical when football managers command huge salaries. Players - fair enough, they have a unique skillset that cannot be replicated by some guy on the street. Managers less so. EPL managers and paid more than many CEOs of huge companies but manage (only a part) of pretty small/medium sized companies. However, this EPL season has shown how important the manager is. The relegation battle can be split into two camps based on good / experienced manager Vs inexperienced / crap manager. The likes of Emery, Lopertegui, Moyes and Hodgson are a clear cut above the others and have guided their team to safety. The likes of Gerrard, Smith, Selles, Jones and Gracia have failed miserably. Hasenhuttel and Marsch at least have decent experience but were decidedly meh. Jury's out on Allardyce and Dyche but regardless they are far more in the Dean Smith camp than the Emery/Moyes camp. Steve Cooper is ok and did a decent job with huge investment. The two outliers are Gary O'Neill who looks inexperienced but good (a huge step up on Scott Parker) and Brendan Rodgers who was at least a good coach once.

Regardless, he's a big step down from guys like Moyes or Lopertegui. I was speaking partly in jest But if we're talking solely in terms of this season then it's a fairly limited sample. The difference between a good/bad manager and a manager who's had a good/bad season isn't always clear. Although as Napoleon famously said "I would rather have a general who was lucky than one who was good." so maybe it doesn't matter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentGuerin Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 What would you do tonight if you'd just signed a contract worth seventy-five million quid over five years? I'd probably take the missus out for a Chinese. A nice one, mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
