The Mailbox keeps it light for the weekend, asking who is your club’s worst celebrity fan? Schalke fans – we know. Also: tales of getting a lift off Merse and having tea with Danny Blind. And some sportswashing stuff…
Curly Watts, Osama Bin Laden, Matt Hancock… who is your club’s worst celebrity fan?While Arsenal were top of the league, I started seeing tweets from Piers Morgan, banging on about how great they were. As much as I admired their young team, that was enough for me to not want them to win the league.
Paul Merson lived not far from where and friend and I lived and we cheekily asked him for a lift home…..he laughed and told us to duck off……10 minutes later getting Wrighty’s autograph Merson blasts the horn on his Range Rover and shouts “are you coming or not!” Cue two 13 year old gobsmacked running and jumping in and having a great time chatting about everything football whilst he dropped us off at end of his street.
Imagine our surprise when Glynn comes trotting out with the rest of the team at Meadow Lane and proceeds to score. What a top mester.…To Overlord Megma. I too miss the ‘meeting footballer’ stories. The blander or more annoyed/annoying the footballer the better.1. My dad meeting Rod Wallace at Leeds training ground. My dad said “you’re my son’s favourite player”. Rod simply said “thanks” and ran off without saying anything else.
1) Identify weaknesses in your squad. We need a centre forward lads. Yes strength in depth in other areas would be nice but we literally don’t have a single number 2) 9 at the club who can be relied on to stay fit/score actual goals. A centre forward, sign a bloody centre forward! 8) Kim Min Jae? He’s a centre back?! We need a centre forward. Ok good you f*cked that up, could’ve been costly that because I’m not sure if you know, but our budget is limited and we need a Centre Forward.9) By all means bid for Declan Rice but he’ll go to City anyway.
The suspicion, unproven, is that the PIF own a larger-than-we-knew stake in the firm that owns Chelsea and that, in turn, these transfers are going to be for over-inflated values to manipulate Chelsea’s precarious FFP situation. Which then makes me think, whose team, optimized with the PL’s best, would win? Using a bit of recency bias, I reckon it would be Pep Vs Klopp, with Mourinho’s best XI potentially sneaking in. Pep has beaten Sir Alex at his best, and Klopp has beaten Pep at his best. Mourinho on his day can beat anyone. Nobody did it longer than Sir Alex, and nobody has been undefeated like Wenger. I will create the best XI’s below, trying to avoid the same players.
I really feel it will not last, and despite the vast sums being offered to players, it won’t become a long term or sustainable project. There are a few reasons for this. This is a two-way street as well. How long before the Saudis and their fans start to get annoyed at European fat cats just showing up for a paycheck, and not really caring all that much? How much outward investments before they begin to see the diminishing returns?
Let’s just focus on the football because we don’t have time to discuss all sports, but the Saudi’s can’t buy a top 5 league because, even if they spent billions of dollars filling out their league with foreign players so that the teams barely field a domestic player, mostly no one will watch it. Just imagine how much money it would cost Saudi Arabia to fill out the league and pay the wages. First without exorbitant pay none of the players would go. Saudi Arabia is not California, its a strict Muslim country expecting certain strict moral standards, not something young footballers with vaults of disposable cash might ideally choose. It also does not have the sporting competitiveness or glamour to draw anyone in.
