Marcos Rashford

Marcos Rashford has come out slinging away at his pundit critics, Rashford’s two year cycle form has been diabolical, to stink bomb, to sit alongside a shit attitude, football’s Mr Sulk, all at the cost of 300,000+ a week, daylight robbery.

Footballs Changing Values

The phrased the game has gone is a term to be phrased around the football circles, has football now moved on to be lightyears away from its traditional values, are the supporters and the communities that are the hub of clubs enhanced in the lower leagues being hit with rising ticket prices and ever increasing merchandise above the norm, is the soul of the game being killed? Club’s inceptions birthed by their communities, a generational theme, supporters values need to be heard.

The government legislation in part to give supporters more influence over their clubs, but will that be the case, it could take two years for the wheels to start burning the rubber, fan consultation is a central requirement, supporters voices to be heard and views considered, the regulator to platform with a more constructive approach, the new regulations need to be implemented correctly for the supporters to be enhanced, the clock is ticking on entry.

FIFA’s Opacity

FIFA playing their deck of dirty cards responding to the world’s players union FIFPRO accusing the union of grandstanding and to blackmail Mark FIFA stating that the union does care about the players’ welfare, Infantino’s lunacy. It is Infantino who likes to grandstand, to sit in his glass stadium cage with one’s caviar and fellow slurping dogs with the monster that Infantino has become.

A meeting of 58 players’ unions was conferenced voicing their concerns of too many matches in football’s calendar which Infantino disputes, where’s the FBI to investigate FIFA’s corruption in cahoots with Infantino? It seems that the orange haze DJ Trump is all ringed up with the Infantino, ‘ooch’ wicked!

The ATP Rulings

The rumblings of the rumbles came to an end with a settlement being agreed between the Premier League and Manchester City over the ATP rules (Associated Party Transactions), Manero articled that the ATP is the cement builder that holds the Premier League’s rulings intact. And that City cannot be allowed to succeed in dismantling the rule book, proven, to stop City becoming the head hooters in the Premier League, in their quest, the rules have proved to be valid and binding.

The crystal ball effect reflected at City was the club’s sponsorship deals linked to companies attached to the club, of a secret veil, the Prem League lensed into City’s secret pact, the ATP is not linked to the 100+ charges facing City, link to article 26 Nov 2024 Manero Calls Out the City Perpetrators.

Will Still

The appointment of Will Still as the Southampton manager would have turned a few nodding heads, a remarkable rise for the 32 year old, with the age being factored in. Will’s career started as an academy coach at Preston North End on a university course working with the Under 12’s, quote Stills “I realised I had the talent, I tried to open as many doors open as I could, I got lucky at the right times and me the right people along the way”.

The Manero thought process, that’s the same in any industry, to say there is much talent who do not get the recognition they deserve. Prior to the Preston stint, Still born in Belgium to English parents, began coaching in his homeland at the age of 17 to eventually make a breakthrough in the pro ranks as a video analyst with Still’s reputation enhanced as a very talented coach. Still’s development was fast tracked to become the manager of Lierse in the Belgian First Division (B) at the age of 24 and following Lierse’s bankruptcy (filed) four years later, Still was appointed as the manager of Beerschot in the same league. Still’s reputation was harnessing to a high value and one year into the Beerschot Rein Reims in France (Ligue 1) came knocking where a 2 year spell ensued with Lens also of Ligue 1, France giving Will’s a further opportunity as their manager, in 2025 Will’s was appointed as the Southampton manager. Wills has a trend to set his teams on long unbeaten runs, at Lierse came a seven game winning streak, with the Reim’s tenure leading to a seventeen match unbeaten setting a new Ligue 1 record. The Will Still’s philosophy is to open to his teams playing on the front foot, to be proactive, a high pressing system. Still has entered the unforgiving environment of the Championship, his biggest test, can he deliver, link to article July 30^th 2022 55 Minutes and Out, Young Guns on the Manager’s Block.
