Presa really is a cartoon villain. I'm half-expecting him to bring a giant briefcase of all the cash from the Chavarria and Mendy sales to the match Thursday and light it on fire in the owner's box like the Joker.
25 million euros plus a 12.5% sell-on clause, that is quite a return.
Here comes the latest Presa vanity signing: a washed-up striker who will be 34 in February and in his prime was too much of a dickhead for the Argentina national team
spotted in Boston today. the lib stay behind army is still active.
I'm sure lots of political and bureaucratic hurdles to clear, but a renovated stadium at the same spot is closer to becoming a reality, assuming Presa doesn't sabotage it somehow
He has an interesting background, became a head coach very young and has coached all over the world (Saudi Arabia, Bolivia, Chile, UAE) before his most recent job at Eibar.
Seems he did a pretty good job at Eibar, took over in the middle of the 2024-25 season when they were in danger of relegation and took them up to 9th, then finished 8th this season only a few points off the playoffs.
Not gonna pretend I've watched any Eibar matches but a look at their stats indicates he likes to press, which is what you'd expect from a Basque-born coach, so he should fit in nicely.
what a bonus this would be, Olympiacos are richer than we are so Unai must really want to stay.
im so excited for next season already.
congrats to Palace on a deserved victory. it was always going to be tough against a team of that caliber, to win we needed a moment of special quality in front of goal and one never came.
Palace looked really dangerous when they actually tried to play instead of that unwatchable long throw shit, their midfield was incredible Wharton is a hell of a player.
i also have to say that if we’d had Isi available during those five games he missed we’d be back in Europe, he was so good as usual.
the European journey is finally over and what a journey it was, I hope everyone makes it home safely and I can’t wait to do it again next season.
