Wondering if this means anything for Rodri…



That’s a 4-5 month ACL recovery

Scalvini is a 20 year old peak athlete. Let’s see when he actually plays and how he does.
Adrian Peterson was one of the best athletes of all time. He made it back I think 8 months from surgery and it was seen as a medical miracle at the time. Maybe the treatment has improved since then, but that’s seems like a really short turnaround

8 months is the short end of average now. 8-12 months is the average for returning to sports. Being in training at 5.5 months isn't really that crazy. Like it's definitely impressive, but until he's actually playing matches, it doesn't seem outlandish to me.

"It's all fun and games until KDB Rodri gets healthy."
Kevin did just come back you know

They are only five points back, haven’t had two of their three best players all season; the fancy stats are still good AND they haven’t played LFC yet.

There’s a long way to go

Moving much too slow.

Premier League clubs have approved changes to the associated party transaction (APT) rules at a meeting in central London.

Manchester City, Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forestwere the only clubs to vote against the proposed alterations.

Manchester City, whose arbitration with the Premier League in the summer led to an independent panel finding some aspects of the APT rules unlawful, were the most vocal about the changes being knocked down.

Premier League clubs have approved changes to the associated party transaction (APT) rules at a meeting in central London.

Manchester City, whose arbitration with the Premier League in the summer led to an independent panel finding some aspects of the APT rules unlawful, were the most vocal about the changes being knocked down.
These were the changes that the Man City arbitration case spawned.

The PL said "yea these are pretty easy fixes and don't undermine anything" and City obviously took the approach of "one tiny thing is wrong therefore they're all garbage and they're impossible to fix"

Shockingly, it was actually an easy fix.

Biggest change is that shareholder loans will count as APTs and need to be at market value. There's going to rules on how existing ones get implemented and likely you'll just see some accounting shenanigans to bring them in as equity or something so teams aren't really impacted.

I'd be surprised if it was Moyes.

Cooper was a weird hire for Leicester, not in keeping with their general track record of preferring more... let's say... elegant mangers. I expect that they'll hire from the continent.
I mean whoever they take better be cool with the Championship next year. They (and Ipswich) are the worst team in the league
