Graham Potter's move to Chelsea set a new record at the time, at £20 million. Ruben Amorim, linked with Liverpool prior to Slot, held the record prior to that when he moved from Braga to Sporting Lisbon for £15 million. He was rumoured to have a release clause of at least £20 million though other reports suggested it was actually closer to what Liverpool are paying for Slot.

There's lots of "X Saudi Arabian team wants Salah" stories flying around, though the Athletic pointed out a few months ago that the messaging being put out by the Saudis is quite confusing - the focus for this summer is supposedly younger players except the top targets are guys like Salah and someone else whose name escapes me but is equally old and accomplished.

Not a single defensive player has been picked yet.

Do you ever see a bit of news that just makes you tilt your head like a confused dog?

Think the owners probably given an instruction, both to the Twitter admin and Clattenberg to go off.

Is Onana banned for the final?

A Man Utd goalkeeper saving a penalty? Football is rigged.

Makes the local council elections a bit spicier at least - a full third of the council is up for re-election on May 2nd.

It's a very bad day.

It wasn't in the press release.

They're also changing the date of the FA Cup final to the penultimate Premier League gameweek, with no Prem games on either the Friday or Saturday. It's such a shit deal and the FA have rolled over for the Prem.

History will say they were "roommates"

Still a red sponsor so it's a no from me smh.

Tweet's almost a week old and I think Philladelphia is number 1 now but what on earth are Dallas doing?

We are fucking massive.

It would mean that, if the rules the Premier League are bringing in were in place for this season, Chelsea would probably need to find £71.5 million (or £153 million) from somewhere to avoid being over the cap and incurring whatever sanctions there would be. These new rules won't be in place until 2025/26, so there's time to sort this. Kinda mad that being in Europe would more than double Chelsea's cap issue.

They mostly don't have to, given that five of them (and Brighton) make up the 6 teams furthest under the squad cost cap.

Bayern should've had a penalty there - I don't think the Saka is a penalty, but on first viewing I though it was. This angle changed it for me - Saka tries far too hard to initiate contact here. Kane should've been sent off for his elbow on an Arsenal defender though.
-
That's fucking wild.

It will be interesting to see what kind of figures come out about the compensation Sporting will get for Amorim. When he moved to Sporting from Braga, they set a then record for a manager's compensation/transfer fee at 15-20 million euros. That's only since been beaten by Potter to Chelsea and either Tuchel or Nagelsmann, in one of their moves.

Erik Ten Hag's moments based playstyle saves them again. And maybe they could feel agrieved that this was given?

Oh hey, Alex crashed and now Williams have zero good chassis because of him.

Only Manchester United can produce a game where Chelsea are better in the second half than first.

The funniest timeline wins again! TWICE!
