There's always 3 or 4 teams each season that collapse but I'd say all the others are capable of giving anyone a game, which may in part be down to the generally high quality of managers throughout the division.

i dont know about failing to attract top quality players. most of the best ones are there already

the one hurdle i see for someone highly valued i suppose is the insane amount of games they must play, and the abundance of injuries that can ruin a career.

would you? i wouldn’t. it’s fucking nuts. borderline abusive. a darwinian experiment i guess.

can’t ride a ferrari like a delivery truck though

as for managers, yes, they make all the difference. i think before you had the ones who played english ball and the ones who copied the europeans (arsene, rodgers). now you have everyone from everywhere doing real innovation right there.

still cant believe conte was let go. i know theres a story behind it but—fucking conte!
