The Football Thread 2023/24: Real Madrid win 15th Champions League title, Mbappe to join in July

[Peter Crisp]

Luton will continue to not spend wildly in the transfer market even with the money from this season as they remember what happened last time they went money crazy.
They're putting the bulk of the extra money towards the new stadium so they can have a stable future.

[Ploiper]

looks like Ross Barkley is off to Aston Villa, talks are advanced. Transfer season has truly started.

A bit of a slow build but you knew where this was heading

On 25 May 2023, the Gambling Commission of Great Britain announced that it had sanctioned PPB Counterparty Services (trading as Paddy Power and Betfair) for sending promotional push notifications to the devices of self-excluded customers. PPB has been fined £490,000 for the breach of its gambling licence.

Their adverts can be amusing, but Paddy Power really shouldn't be pontificating on the fair play of others.

Beautiful. A footballing family. Who wouldn't want to see their big brother do well?

Just imagine the self congratulatory video they will make when they are cleared of all 115 charges.

I've seen hostage videos with more charm.

Poch is gone.

Poch is gone.

... . We all know that Chelsea have underachieved for a while now, but it seemed like the manager had started to get the team performing a bit better over the past couple of months?

[Denster]

Yeah. I think that's a little premature tbh.

[Preezy]

Absolute basket case of a club, dreadful decision given their great upturn in form

[Ploiper]

De Zerbi will be the next chelsea manager i recon, can see that happening

[Psychic]

What a brainless decision. The results weren't great at times but they had one of the worst injury lists in the league and shockingly for Chelsea, I don't remember hearing a iota of drama from the players this season. I could understand the decision if they were guaranteed an upgrade but the market for top managers is pretty low stocked at the moment. Baffling.

It's just that EA acquisitions meme but with Brighton managers.
