  • Normally I'm quite harsh on these things but there are extenuating circumstances here. UEFA were making changed to FFP during the middle of covid with no knowledge of exactly what the next few years would hold. Expecting clubs to keep up with unexpected changes when they might have front weighted their allowed FFP losses etc. is a challenge.

    UEFA aren't perfect with FFP rule breaches but its not like they haven't attempted to ban many large clubs from Europe before.

  • One of the biggest issues with the sprints is that many of the potential good formats are automatically off the table. We won't get something fun like reverse grids anytime soon.

    At the moment it's all fairly new and constantly changing but at the end of the day it's nothing unique. It's just a shorter race.

    @FabrizioRomano - Leonardo Bonucci, no longer part of the project at Juventus. Club decision is to exclude Bonucci from the first team. - Out of the squad

  • Teams will stop their major upgrades for this season soon though. It gets to a point where its just fine tuning and minor upgraded parts that change where you are relative to other teams. If they really are in the mix then they shouldn't fall away as the Aston seems to have.

  • Perhaps its partly a FFP thing for Man Utd. In addition to the owner issues, their inability to sell anyone at a decent price must affect their transfer budget too.

  • I think its just mainly the price. There's not many clubs who pay £80m+ and even less who have an opening in central midfield.

    Arsenal tried in January but the price was too high, Real were focussed on Bellingham, PSG went with the Sporting guy and Man City dont need him, so its pretty much only Chelsea and Man Utd left who'd pay silly money (other than Saudi clubs).

    @FabrizioRomano - Understand Moisés Caicedo deal is now ‘moving’ between Chelsea and Brighton. The two clubs are discussing amount of fixed fee, £70m not enough.

  • Vid bot guy back again...

    It might be best to switch it off for a week or so. It's difficult to troubleshoot any bot issues when it seems like lemmy.world and the API are having their own issues every day. I'll try to leave it running in a test community for longer and if it runs fine and then bring it back here.

    @skipseagull@lemmy.world if its easier for you to make @Football_Vid_Bot@lemmy.world a mod then I should (hopefully) be able to make it sticky/unsticky itself automatically every day for each new highlights post.

  • He played very well for the Israeli national team the 2/3 times I've saw him.

    Didn't watch much of him at Fulham though. Seems that he was decent there last season too.

    It's quite off-putting.

  • Why would Norris go from being team leader to Marko's punching bag?

    To win races and compete at the front of the grid. Being a team leader of an average and inconsistent McLaren team is unlikely to win him anything beyond a few odd podium trophies per season.

  • You can hide the numbers in the liftoff app (presumably other apps too). Hiding it for all users by default is obviously completely different though.

  • It might take a few days to get the goal bot working again btw.

    Tried last night but it wasn't posting the links as comments. Unsure if lemmy.world going down had any effect on another issues that came up too.

  • Not next year, no.

    If he gets a new contract and has a good 2024 (comfortably beats the competition etc.) then he might have a shot for 2025.

  • I'm my defence there were a lot of people questioning what was happening and no answers.

    If you had login issues that's fine. Shit happens.

    Premier League players to keep an eye on during pre-season - The Athletic

  • Perez was sitting stationary for around 8mins (you could argue 10min+ given he didn't box after the red flag). Sargeant for around 7 minutes. I don't think either had any tyre temp and yet Sargeat got out of q1.

    Perez was suggesting yesterday that it's the conditions which he doesn't like. 4 of the last 5 quali's have been wet I think.

  • Wouldn't be surprised if they delay the kit reveal a week or so if they are close to finding a sponsor.
