Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

English syntax is different to other languages. Other languages share similarities to each other, so it's easier for a French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese native speaker to understand the others language while learning.

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

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.

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.
