anyone hear of this ?

I kept wondering why during Queretaro/Pumas the announcers kept saying Nuevo Queretaro and whatnot

Apparently the original Queretaro got relegated, so what their owner did was buy out another team in the 1st division (Jaguares de Chiapas) and moved them to Queretaro - voila, they stay in the 1st division

So Jaguares people buy out another first division club, San Luis, to become the new Chiapas?

I don't know what the fukk I just read or typed, it took me like 10 minutes to read 2 articles and look at wikipedia and get my head around it.

Bottom line: how the fukk is this allowed

They went the fukk in.

I used to hate that fukking commercial so much.

unicorns in reverse
btw "unicorns in reverse" sounds like an indie rock band founded by oft members

also, didnt the owners of rangers try to buy out some spl team after they got relegated?

I was watching that match confused, like, didn't they get relegated, looking for the relegation tables for last year and this year, but figured my Spanish wasn't strong enough.

This is crazy.

This was after Eddie Johnson point blank miss​

Am I the only one that thinks £20+ for Soldaldo is too much ?

With the new TV revenue coming in , 20+ for Soldado isn't unreasonable. I'm confident he'll fit in well, between the Chadli and Paulinho acquisitions i think we can push on and do better this season.

I'm not sure of the accuracy of reports, but people are saying that Chucho Benitez has died....
