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

Pep announces his departures early.

I don't think he's left before a contract was over and he has two year's left. Hard to see this happening this year. I think City started buying his type of players ahead of time. Can't see him start totally blank at Juventus right now.

Not talking about honouring the contract. He announces early he is leaving. Like when he took his sabbatical from Barca that was before the season ended and he was hired by you lot like what Feb 1st.

Lol.

Go to church and pray on it.

“Lol” you can put Pulis in charge and still win the league with that squad

Yeah because Pep ain't coaching shyt!

Injury prone left back goes down so the past 2 seasons he's had an English DM and a Ukrainian attacking midfielder take over the position and won the league both times.

You can harp on about money, but other sides spent more, had fewer injuries, had a 7 point lead and still couldn't get it done. Sorry that Pep won't go to Bolton Wanderers to prove to you he can manage bums.

A French judge has charged the president of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) football club, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, with corruption over Qatari bids to host the world athletics championships.

Judicial sources quoted by AFP news agency said the case focused on the championships held in 2017 and 2019.

Mr Khelaifi, who is also the boss of Qatari TV channel BeIn Sports, has been under investigation since March.

Two payments totalling $3.5m (£2.8m), made in 2011, are under scrutiny.

London won the bidding to host the championships in 2017, but Qatar is hosting this year's championships in September-October.

It is alleged that the payments were made by Oryx Qatar Sports Investment - a firm jointly owned by Nasser Al-Khelaifi and his brother Khalid - to a firm run by the son of Lamine Diack, ex-president of the IAAF, the world athletics governing body.

Lamine Diack, 85, was charged with corruption in March in relation to the case, while an arrest warrant has been issued for his Senegal-based son, Papa Massata Diack. Lamine Diack was IAAF chief in 1999-2015.

He's a well known photographer who shoots all the time and can't even get into Azerbaijan. I'm all for spreading the finals around to places, but maybe make sure it's a place with no issues.

I mean they're definitely getting him. They wanted him when he was at Schalke but City beat em to it. If anything, Sane's time in England is done. He's won everything there is to win in England. Might as well do the same in Bayern and get back into the Bundes national team.

City just trained him for Bayern to be honest. They were always gonna come back for him. Kinda like Barca with Fabregas. And as a German, when Bayern comes calling you gotta answer that call.

This might as well be considered a done deal. Right now it's just the formalities and agreeing on the final transfer fee
