No tactics board/data set can explain it
After 25 years, Coventry City finally get promoted to the Premier League
And somewhere in that noise, in that pull between club & crowd, you see what Frank Lampard gets right:
Football isn’t solved, it’s felt!
Arteta really thought that he could fluke a win by cheating and parking the bus like Burnley..
Brother this ain’t Premier League
This is the fucking Champions league!
NEW 🚨 Liverpool have shown heavy interest in Coventry City’s manager Frank Lampard. It is to my knowledge that Frank Lampard wants to continue at Coventry and has rejected the opportunity to join Liverpool Football Club.
#PUSB#CCFC
This is what Lampard had to deal with at Coventry.
Think about a club that has never touched premier league in the last 25 years being capable enough to the walk the league with a huge lead, when 3 teams get close to this amount after getting relegated from the Premier league.
🚨 The financial power of the Premier League is becoming RIDICULOUS. 💰🌍
Wolves are set to earn almost FIVE TIMES more from getting relegated than Inter Milan will earn for WINNING Serie A this season. 🤯
🔸 Wolves are expected to receive around £120M through Premier League TV revenue and parachute payments after relegation. 💰
🔸 Inter Milan are set to earn around £25M from winning Serie A and domestic TV distributions. 🏆
A relegated Premier League club earning massively more than the champions of Italy says EVERYTHING about the current state of European football finances. 📈
