Incompetence is incompetence. Your splitting hairs for the sake of provincialism.

Dolan is spending money but keeps choosing incompetence (Phil Jackson, Mills/Perry). Glazers are sticking with incompetence (Woodward) because it's making money.

They are very different. Glazers have not shown any evidence that they want a winning team. They want a money making team. And as long as sponsorship money is coming in, United keeps scraping into 4th place and making it onto biggest teams lists they are more than happy.

Meanwhile Dolan has never shied away from spending money or going into luxury tax. All he wants is not to be enemy number 1 in New York.

Dani Olmo went from Barca to Dinamo Zagreb and learnt Croatian, even though everybody knew he wouldn't spend more than a year there.

Those are all romance languages so yh of course they descend from a common language. Just like swedish, norwegian and danish are very similar.

But Luka's native languages are slovenian and serbian so I don't think he would have it easier to learn spanish

English sentence structure is more rigid than other languages. Spanish, Croatian, Slovenian, etc are more flexible and are able to change the order of the words without changing the meaning of the sentence. Also those languages have specific grammatical gender words which English doesn't really have outside of sex.

All valid points. I argue that misguided spending is just as detrimental as an absence of spending. Hell, just look at what breaking the bank on Phil Jackson did to the organization.

I've been getting back into football over the past couple of months. It's cool to watch games while I'm training, which I also got back into doing weightlifting and whatnot at home during the lockdown. Glad to see my Inter doing pretty well! We're back :bustback:

Man I want to complain about there not being like an Amazon Prime/Netflix for football. I had to cop two different subscriptions, one to watch Serie A so I can watch Inter, and then one to watch Champions League, Europa League, and international football. The good thing is that both of those packages come with a lot of extras - the Serie A one is through Kayo Sports here in Australia, which also includes Bundesliga, La Liga and Ligue 1 as well as a whole bunch of different sports, and the Champions League one also includes Premier League and (lol) Korean and Japanese football too. But still, I'm paying fukking $40 a month for all that. I would be so much happier paying say $30 a month for a single service that has everything I wanted. Imagine if you could actually pick and choose which specific leagues/sports you wanted to subscribe to, and work out a custom deal at a custom price with the provider. By rights I should be getting what I want for $20 or even $15 a month. I'm not trying to watch fukking Ligue 1 or Korean or Japanese football :scust:

The last thing I want to say is that neutral games just aren't hitting without a crowd being there. Unless I have a strong reason to support one team, I find them pretty boring because of how silent they are and the total lack of atmosphere
