Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

[AmericasToffee]

Could be sagrilege, but should Atleti consider a new coach

Theyve had Simeone for so long and he has done wonders there but still

He was "on the hot seat" earlier in the season

Get in. Well deserved.

I like El Cholo but Leipzig earned that W. Wish Felix had played the whole 90

This isn't an underdog story Clive Tyldsley and let's not even try advancing that narrative when a billion dollar conglomerate is pumping money in. Super League now.

Cheeky €12m in RBL’s back pockets for winning that.

Their record signing is £26m and they have a £30m budget this Summer. Let’s not pretend just because they have a billion dollar owner they have the financial clout the other teams do.

two plastic teams in the SF line against each other, love it

It felt strange wanting Rasenballsport Leipzig to win a game, but that is what happened tonight lol

 

[verreauxi]

Wow...didn't expect that result!

Yeah it certainly isn’t an underdog story. There’s a reason Leipzig are always hovering close to FFP trouble, they pump in a lot of money into that team in comparison to what they make.

They have spent a fortune over the last few years to get to this point.

They are a horrible plastic football club, tonight was a rare time it was good to see them win.

at almost 4/1 i thought it was worth a punt to bet on RBL to win

happy days

Can’t ignore that they have a very good side as a feeder club for them that they can use to develop players exactly how they want and take off them for pittances.

I’d still argue it’s underdog compared to who they’re up against at this level. Record transfer is less than Watford’s. Playing a team with a £100m+ forward (Felix) and £60m striker (Morata) on the bench. Will play PSG with two £100m+ players in the team.

They bought success up till promotion to the Bundesliga but after that it’s all down to proper coaching, decent scouting and the Red Bull network. Since promotion to Bundesliga their net spend is almost even.
