Premier League 2019/20

[Tigerstyle]

Something I am definitely taking away from the social media generation is the thing Man Utd fans always complained about Liverpool fans doing has come full circle.

If he takes some time out to recharge, I think he could easily land at a Premier League club in the middle of next season.

Were he and Sean Dyche the longest-serving managers in the top four leagues then at this point? I think it was around 2012 that Dyche replaced Howe at Burnley and Howe went back to Bournemouth for his second spell in charge.

Here's the top ten:

Name	Nat.	Date of birth	Club	Division	Appointed	Time as manager	Ref(s)

I didn’t realise that Klopp had been there longer than Guardiola. But how sad is it that Klopp is the second longest reigning manager in the premier league, let alone the fourth in football league, while the guy is an absolute treasure and won his first title this year. Makes you wonder who the other teams (other than City) think they really are and who are really going to do the job.

Klopp's been at Liverpool for a while. They should probably get rid of him before he goes stale. : /

The list is already out of date after the National League playoff final...

Suck on that, Ainsworth?

Maddison and his friends were fairly well known for being drunken knobheads on nights out in Norwich. I can only presume his ego inflates tenfold after a few shots. There was even a court case loosely involving him, where I think a few of his mates supposedly beat someone up for disrespecting him.

[METALMAN]

Would you get your friends to beat me up if I disrespected you in Norwich?

[Naitch]

The master of pen-based self defence? It'd be a death sentence for them.

[Tigerstyle]

What an awful collection of teams to get promoted this year.

I know fuck all about Brentford but I always like a new team to get a shot in the prem so I feel bad for them.

[Colly]

Mitro is back.

Boooo on you.

West Brom are the worst. I'd rather Brentford had gone up than them.

Arsenal laying off 55 staff at a yearly saving of 2 million... or around 36,000 a week. FA Cup prize money was 3.5 million. Ozil refused to sign onto the 12.5% one year pay cut, which if he had would've saved Arsenal 44,000 a week...

[Baddar]

People have been laying into Ozil on Twitter as well, but really, a club their size shouldn't have to make those kind of layoffs. And it's those who made that decision who should be blamed, not Ozil.

I agree. He has a contract and no loyalty to the people or the club, he’d happily take the same amount of money elsewhere and if someone wants to pay him, sure. But they don’t, because he’s on silly money.

[Tigerstyle]

Have Arsenal signed anyone/offered increased contracts this summer?

[stokeriño]

Supposedly they're about to give Willian a 3 year contract on whatever kind of money a 31-yr-old international gets in this day and age (maybe similar to what David Luiz is on?).

Probably more than the 2mil a year they’re saving by sacking all these other people I imagine?

[stokeriño]

Given that £2m/yr is roughly £38k/wk...yeah. Much more.
