After Mourinho defeats Hansi Flick to the title next season, fans are going to call for the return of Guardiola which will set up the final battle between Good and Evil. Good here being Mourinho

Alonso is an excellent coach tactically and some would say he shoud’ve waited for a better job. But the big appeal for him here is he also wants a lot of control instead of the modern head coach-sporting director type relationship. He wants an Arteta-type blank canvas where he can override the board to make signings that he wants.

For Chelsea’s board, their recruitment model is not good, so Alonso’s demands are a better bet than trusting the guys in their hierarchy to build the squad. We have a 4 year sample size of transfer failure with them. Alonso shaping their recruitment vision, is a last Hail Mary to save the Clearlake era as they have shown themselves incapable of forming a hierarchy who makes good decisions.

Whether Alonso has a good enough vision to warrant this type of control is still TBC and make or break for this appointment to work. Recruitment at Leverkusen was purely handled by Simon Rolfes who is excellent and gave him excellent young talents to develop. Alonso instructed Real Madrid to sign Huijsen, Carreras & Mastantuono which is a mixed bag.

Generally I’m against coach’s having majority recruitment power. They have too many responsibilities to be doing this job as well as coaching the team. But there are instances like Arteta where the pros outweigh the cons.

Alonso’s player pull will also likely be big, so overall I would’ve done the same in Clearlake’s situation. Look forward to seeing the first transfers as it will tell us a lot about the direction/success of this appointment.

Gotta admire the Catholic Church's sense of humor in assigning patron saints because why is the patron saint of dermatology and skin diseases the guy who was skinned alive

[Geronimo Morgans @GeronimoMorgans]

Diego Simeone gets paid £26m per year (the highest paid manager in the world) to assemble a squad that masters the art of running around like mad men, looking incredibly busy whilst doing absolutely nothing. his greatest trophy is eliminating Barcelona. losing finals. and building a team that serves absolutely no meaningful purpose to the football world whatsoever.

I don't know if anyone has noticed this but Nairobi is emerging as a global MICE hub. Nearly 100 events in just a few months, with more flowing in daily. As uncertainty grows elsewhere, the world is choosing Nairobi. We’re sitting at the center of opportunity

@TheMutaD I know a project whose approval letter has delayed because the 'Minister' who's supposed to sign it is still disappointed because she lost Parliamentary elections and is not available..🙌🏿🙌🏿
