Relegation/Promotion in US Soccer....

[Kentucky Bandit]

no, you have 3 auto qualifiers with one potential.. liverpool would be max 5th which iirc is max teams from one league

I believe the problem would have a rose if Man City had won The Champions League this season, but had finished outside the top 4 in the BPL. Along with Liverpool wining the Europa League.

Well that's it- With Sunderland dominating Everton (which was kind of shocking)

Newcastle, Norwich and Aston Villa are relegated

Brighton, Middlesborough, and Burnley promoted


Newcastle fans gotta be pissed...

Correct, If Liverpool wins Europa- they are in.

They haven't finalized the 3rd promoted Championship team yet - they still have to play the tournament between 3rd and 6th place. Brighton still has to win it.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Brighton and Hull City vs Derby County will each have a 2 legged playoff to be the 3rd team promoted. I just hope it isn't Hull City. I get sick of seeing them promoted every couple of years only to go straight back down and play boring soccer.

Being a Manchester City fan I can't wait for Pep to get there and clean house. We have a number of players who are just shells of what they once were and Pep is going to replace them with players who fit his style. I'm hoping for one or two of Pogba/Gundogan/Thiago Alcantara

I think Pep is in for a rude awakening in the BPL...not for sure that style will work in BPL.... To me it's gonna be interesting to see what he does with Aguero who wants out as well as aging guys like David Silva and Yaya Toure... Also, I don't think Hart can be the type GK Pep wants....that GK/Sweeper combo....might gonafter Ter Stegen .... Where does Sterling fit? If Aguero goes to Real Madrid can he convince a Lewandowski to come?

Gotta say I like the sound of Arsenal supposedly already agreeing to terms with Granit Xhaka....Now we just need a Striker, RW and CB.

Nc should switch to MLS so they don't have to worry about this crap.

Aguero doesn't "want out", a lot of people have just assumed for the past couple of years that he would leave for Real Madrid but as of right now it doesn't look like he has any interest in that. He did say he would like to go back and play for his hometown team in Argentina at some point in his career. While Yaya should be the first player gone, I don't think David Silva is going anywhere. He has a few good years left in him and will be the most Pep-ready player in the squad. He might look at replacing Kompany. As good as he is, he just can't stay healthy. May well bring in another GK too. We really need center-mids and fullbacks. I think Sterling will eventually be fine if he gets consistent playing time.

Just read an article that is suggesting one of the richest men in China looking at buying AC Milan. Would be pretty big.... I still have no clue how they went from being so dominant to what they are now so fast.... Some of those teams they had were unreal.

 

[BigBlueSean_rivals178247]

To me Milan is a club that can easily flip the script...Get high roller investers from China, get Ibra back, hire Pellegrini from Man City, maybe take Yaya Toure or a couple other key pieces and Milan could be back to full force in a relatively short amount of time.
