I assume this is some kind of creative accounting to negate FFP?.

 

Chelsea really have become a vulgar, grotesque shell of a club.

I see it as the Chelsea owners trying to replicate City Group (Man City, New York City FC, Melbourne City FC, Yokohama F. Marinos, Girona, Mumbai City FC, Troyes, Palermo, etc.) and Red Bull (Leipsig, Salzburg, New York Red Bulls, FC Liefering, Red Bull Bragantino).

 

"One of the core philosophies of City Football Group since its inception has been the mutual supporting of clubs through combined scouting and player sharing. While virtually all large European clubs operate an international scouting network, financial demands make it impossible to access local knowledge in foreign countries to the same extent as a domestic club could. CFG clubs therefore provide invaluable services to each other by using their own local scouting networks to share information on players between clubs."

 

"In addition to internal player movements, CFG has also sought to foster movements of coaching staff within their network also; among the most notable relocations are French manager Eric Mombaerts, who has worked with Yokohama F. Marinos, Melbourne City and Troyes, Manchester City Women manager Nick Cushing transferring to New York and English coach Liam Manning transferring from the NYCFC academy to take over management of Lommel's first team."

 

(Ange... ?)

 

"The second of CFG's core philosophies regarding club collaboration is on- and off-pitch technical information sharing. Based around the tactics of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola – long coveted for the Manchester job by Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain after their experience working with him in Barcelona – all of City Football Group's clubs are given access to extensive databases of Manchester City's tactics and coaching methods, enabling them all to follow the group directive to use the same style of football, a style occasionally referred to as the City Way. This synergy of tactical style extends beyond their first teams to the academies and women's sections. In addition to this, the clubs also share other information, such as medical, performance monitoring and player management."

I'm sympathetic to the basic concept: the sharing of knowledge, etc.

 

They have links to City Group, with some coaches and Ange.

Oh the drama ... 

 

Rangers: Cyriel Dessers keen on Ibrox move

“Dessers remains keen on a move to Ibrox and is waiting for Rangers to make another offer.

“Reports in Italy claimed the Nigerian international had turned down a switch to Ibrox. Sources close to all sides of the deal are adamant that is not the case. Dessers is very much keen on a move to Scotland and for the chance to play in the Champions League.

“Rangers have already made multiple bids for the striker but have still to reach an agreement with Cremonese. The Ibrox side are expected to go back in for the 28-year-old but won’t be rushed into a deal.”

Scott Arfield has completed his transfer switch to the MLS.

The former Rangers midfielder has finalised a move to Charlotte FC.

He has signed a one-year deal with the option of a further season into 2025.

Best of luck to Scott!

I don't understand why we're bothering with Dessers.

[der Berliner 3,755]

Blast from the past ... and present: Jason Cummings scored a hat-trick for the (underdog) Central Coast Mariners in their 6-1 rout away to Melbourne City and secures them the title. This season: 29 games, 21 goals, 6 assists.

 

Hope you can watch this video.

Danke schön, Herr Berliner.

 

Oh wait. I see what you meant. Absolutely. Arfield confounded my judgement all right. A really good signing. He leaves owing us nothing.

I almost agree but the manager must see something.

Because we need to replace Morelos?
