Incredible the amount of people who managed to get flares in to the stadium.

This tap-in has put Eibar ahead against Girona in the Spanish Segunda play-offs.

And they plan on replacing Poch, a manager whose primary tactical plan focusses on an intensive form of pressing and counter-pressing, with Marcelo Gallardo, the River Plate manage whose primary tactical plan focusses on an intensive form of pressing and counter-pressing.

I haven't seen anything about Gallardo, where did you see that at? Not doubting you, just wanted to see it! Everything I've seen is that since Zidane is a no go, they're going after Christopher Galtier, the manager who won Lille (so a guy who Campos knows and trusts) the title and then went to Nice

Might've been a bit older (last week+) but Gallardo was being linked a lot. Seems to have dropped off, which I didn't catch.

I did not realise Zidane was a no too. They need to sort that situation quickly if they want to build on getting Campos.

Isn't the prevailing rumor that Zidane is waiting for Deschamps to leave the France job (potentially after the World Cup)?

[Moses Julep]

Hope Poch stays unemployed long enough for him to take over once Conte inevitably implodes.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta said the club have sold 25% of Barca Studios to Socios.com for €100 million to help register new signings. 

 

Really hope this backfires completely in the long run.

Haller's tumor is apparently malignant and he's to undergo chemo. Hope he recovers fully.

Was just reading they've miraculously found a way to register everyone.

[Baddar]

They probably argued that Real will walk the league if they're unable to do so and it'll hurt the image of La Liga so were told "oh go on then".

[Szumi]

TL:DR Barca still trying to cheat to register signings, got caught doing it, and it's possibly illegal what they did.

 

[METALMAN]

Hmm I remember a couple of weeks ago I was all LOL BARCELONA ARE SO SHIT WITH MONEY and you bunch of pseuds were all like OH ACTUALLY I THINK YOU’LL FIND THEY KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING.

 

WHO’S LAUGHING NOW

[gunnar hendershow]

Between this and Triple H now running WWE, quite a run you've had.

[METALMAN]

Yes, this is as good as it gets. I’m just trying to enjoy this moment and not think too much about the future.

This is the most self-righteous I’ve felt on EWB since I told you all to get over Kony 2012 back in … 2012.

[Szumi]

Barca have sold another 24.5% of Barca Studios for €100m. It STILL may not be enough to register all their signings, but if it's not, it would only require some guys like Pique agreeing to another salary reduction, which is very probable to happen.

No surprise the cheating cunts found a way to do it.

[gunnar hendershow]

Hard to call it cheating when all they're really doing is fucking over the long-term financial health under the hope and prayer the Super League will eventually come to fruition. It's more like high stakes gambling where they've amassed a huge pot on a game they don't really quite understand.
