Fun aside, that would be a no. I doubt any experienced, top level manager would align with SR's "genius" policies.

It's not just cheapness as a reason they go for up and coming managers. Noone serious would put up with their nonsense. It would quickly end in acrimony. Jesse Marsch saw through it quickly enough to avoid signing up.

One of those "Arteta quits after 3 days, after realising SR are a bunch of charlatans. Police also investigating a bump on Arteta's head, and a dodgy signature, both appearing just before he was announced as manager."

I can see Arsenal pulling the trigger on Arteta at end of season.

He's been there 6 years and has won fuck all.

Interesting that you’d post that now and not after beating Real Madrid twice in the space of a week. They’re second and in the CL semifinals, he’s going nowhere.

Nobody is really going into the playoffs with any kind of form. Between the four of them, their last three games have been W2 D2 L8. Sunderland also have five straight defeats. Can’t see much beyond a comfortable win for the Blades.

For obvious reasons I want the strongest team to win the playoffs, which presumably is Sheff. Utd.

7 years next year then....

Arsenal have gone from several seasons of finishing outside CL places at the end of Wenger / start of Arteta to finishing 2nd three years in a row.

I think they will be happy with that for now. Pressure will come if Man City and Chelsea get their act together and Liverpool maintain their form and Arsenal drop down next season.

Their main failure yesterday was highlighted on Motd ie they failed to shoot when a shot was on . Taking another touch or crossing the ball or laying it off for someone else to shoot . They need a touch of shoot on sight Pelle !

See the trouble with Arsenal is they always try to walk it in.

Manchester United truly are utterly dire. It’s a shame the promoted sides are just that bad because they would be fighting relegation any other year.

Meanwhile, the PL seemingly can’t wait to get rid of us as my “favourite team” in the Fantasy app has changed itself to Newcastle.

AFC Totton have today been promoted to the National League South.

So you'll be able to manage them on FM26 😉 😇

Because they play the same dogshit formation as we did and totally lose out the midfield, Amorim same as Juric stuck to a formation that worked in slower leagues but won't in the epl unless you've 2 world class cm's
