You are giving way too much influence to Ferguson. He is really highly rated there (and he should be) and they are using his connections to smoothen some deals (like Ronaldo's), but Ferguson cannot and does not make any strategic decisions.
The club is a private company and he is not the owner so he only recommends some courses of actions, it isn't Ferguson who's still keeping Solskjaer there. Owners are patient in finding his replacement, but I feel Ole's time there is finished.
From what just read the owner still maintains Solskjaer until the end of the season So Solskjaer only focuses on increasing teams without worrying about the problem of dismissal. There are things that we don't know why the owner keeps it , there must be a reason for it the final decision will be seen at the end of the season That's why in some of my previous posts, I said if Ole position is now very safe despite all the bad results that can be obtained by Ole in manchester later, the support from Ferguson seems to make the Manchester board still trust Ole to this day, despite a lot of speculation that has sprung up that Zidane will replace Ole but I don't think it will happen anytime soon. |

Seriously, Napoli will lose to Inter Milan?
I think now Napoli are in their best form, although maybe you think Inter Milan is better than Napoli and I don't know why you chose Inter Milan in that match, but I don't think 2-1 is not the ideal score, I personally see Napoli will win the match or at least the possibility of the match will end in a draw later and my reason is of course by looking at the current performance of both teams.
Why not? Look at the statistics of Inter's games at home against Napoli, it says a lot. Inter is also a very strong team, which is not going to just give points at home, no Napoli, or for any other clubs. It is quite possible that there will be a neat game in which one goal scored can decide the outcome of the match. So why Inter can't score a goal, and close in defense? I looked at the odds of the bookmakers, for Inter win they give 2.1, and for Napoli the odds are 3.3, that is, according to the bookmakers, Inter is the favorite of this match. From the head to head that exists between Intermilan and Napoli, Intermilan looks better than Napoli when playing at home, but I don't think we can use head to head as a reference if Inter Milan will always be win of Napoli, we also need to see how the conditions are both teams this season and Napoli who are unbeaten at all are certainly in high motivation to maintain their record, after all this season Inter Milan have drawn several times despite playing at home, and it shows that Napoli can also get one point in San Siro Stadium later. |

The upcoming game for Barcelona is going to be against Espanyol. And I've no doubt that Xavi is really looking forward to having his first game as the Barcelona manager. He is a legend of this team already and it should be really meaningful for him to be the manager of his old team. I'm pretty sure that he wants to achieve new successes with Barcelona in the future. But he needs to be patient as they will need time to recover. And the Espanyol game is looking like a good place to start for it. I'm believing that Barcelona will destroy them.
The match against Espanyol was his debut match during his time as coach of Barcelona and of course this will be quite emotional for Xavi, moreover they will play at the Camp Nou Stadium which is the pride of Barcelona, as a Barcelona player, Xavi has shown his quality so far but as a coach, of course Barcelona fans should not I expect too much from Xavi, because in my opinion, Xavi, who lacks experience, certainly still needs time to prove his capacity as Barcelona current coach. ^ Yes, that is true but I think that Xavi will at least be better than the previous 2 coaches. What's the problem here is that he lacks experience. But as we all know that the current situation in which Barcelona is in it will take them a lot of time and money to overcome this situation so I think Barcelona should be patient. If we look from the coach experience, Koeman actually has this compared to Xavi now, but in fact Koeman also failed to be able to restore Barcelona performance, I think maybe Barcelona real problem does not lie with the coach, but maybe lies in the quality of their squad so far who obviously couldn't move on after the departure of messi and several other important players, to be honest I doubt that xavi will be able to do a better job in barcelona than koeman with the quality of the current squad. Yes, it seems that Barcelona fans have to be patient enough to see their team improve again and in my opinion, if Barcelona want to return to what it used to be, the first thing they have to do is improve their financial condition first. |

Looks like juventus are really ready to bear the loss by selling dejan Kulusevski to another club, because I know Kulusevski was bought by juventus from atalanta for 44 million euros, but now they will sell him for 25 million euros, although he is a good player, but in my opinion he is not the right choice for arsenal, moreover they have to sacrifice pepe in the purchase, actually pepe is a nimble player but he only gets a little playing time in arsenal so he can't show his best performance so far.
Loss? Kulusevski is a great player and all, but they could sell him for a lot of money, as high as 50+ million euro if you ask me, and if it is not that high then they do not have to sell him neither and just could keep him and use him. That guy deserves to be sold for at least 50 million right now, only 21 years old and they already paid a lot of money to get him, which means that unless they are making some profit from it then there is no reason why they should not keep him. If they are selling him for anything over 50 though, in that case they are making a good chunk of profit and they could end up buying another player for that much money and could even pay a lot less and keep the change, could even get as much as 2 players for 30 each if they could sell him for 60 million. That is not a loss if you ask me, that would be a lot better for them in the long run. How can you say if juventus won't sell it with low price? Kulusevski performance with atlanta was really very good and made Juventus buy for 44 million euros, but with Juventus he couldn't show his best performance so far, and forced Allegri to sell him in January later, How can you say if Juventus can get a lot of money , if Juventus plan to sell Kulusevski for 25 million euros? https://www.google.com/amp/s/football-italia.net/why-juventus-could-sell-kulusevski-to-arsenal-in-january/amp/ |

Poch is not doin enough for this PSG side, their champions League group matches are not going well in my opinion Paris Saint Germain should have be crushing team's but still they struggle, I think if Paris Saint Germain didn't go far at the champions League this season they will have to cut ties with Mauricio Pochetino. You can't have Mbappe, Neymar and Messi and not be the best team in Europe.
Even though they have many quality players, I think Pochettino is currently not able to make progress for the PSG squad, even if PSG are currently at the top of the Ligue 1 standings, it is not an extraordinary achievement in my opinion, because without messi, mbappe and neymar they are has been the ruler of ligue 1 so far, the club goal to bring in messi, neymar and mbappe is to win the champions league trophy, but so far it seems that PSG are very difficult in the group phase, inevitably with a squad full of star players of course many people will question Pochettino current ability at PSG |

Lewandowski can be said to have become a Bayern Munich icon since being bought from Dortmund in 2014, and now Lewandowski has become Bayern Munich mainstay goal machine, especially now that he has won many prestigious trophies with Bayern, so I don't think there is any reason for Lewandowski go to other klub, the only hope that may still be in Lewandowski mind at this time is to win the Ballon d'Or and also a prestigious trophy for his national team, besides that I think now his career at bayer munchen has been very extraordinary.
I guess that he maybe will end his career at Bayern Munich also and take a job behind the scene , I can imagine that very well. For sure it all depends on what kind of money there he will get and maybe there is some other Club want him even he is still one of the older players. But yes he is an icone since he was getting to Bayern Munich with all the things he has done for them. Yes, I didn't even realize before that Lewandowski came from Dortmund. Lewandowski is indeed old, but that doesn't mean he will choose to retire quickly because even Messi and Ronaldo are older than Lewandowski and they are still actively involved in the team. I personally would have preferred for Lewandowski to end his career here at Bayern Munich but yeah, we won't know either because there is probably a better offer out there for Lewandowski and he is willing. Basically, the Bundesliga is still suitable for players of Lewandowski's age as well, so I think allowing Lewandowski to continue playing in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich would also be fine. Many Bayern Munich fans hope that Lewandowski will stay at Bayern until the end of his career, because after all Bayern Munich fans love Lewandowski so much,and during his time at Bayern Munich, Lewandowski has managed to help Bayern Munich win seven Bundesliga titles, three DFB Pokal titles, and one Champions League title. @hahay, I agree with what you're saying, because it's better for Lewandowski to stay in the Bundesliga, because we know that the Bundesliga isn't as competitive as other leagues like the English Premier League, and at 33 years old it would be difficult for him to force himself to play in a tough league like the English league. |

Who would ever believe that Serbia would win Portugal a 2-1 defeat? Would it be the money that their President promised them(€1million bonus) that motivated them to beat Portugal in Lisbon on Sunday that earned them a direct qualification to the World Cup?
Which after they won, they donated the money to help treat sick children 👏
I just hope Portugal wins their next match, if not they won't be able to qualify for the World Cup
I bet for Portugal victory in that match, but I didn't think that Serbia could destroy Portugal in a match that was quite decisive for both teams, I think the bonus promised by the president of Serbia really motivated the Serbian players, even though they conceded in the secound minute the start of the game, but Dusan Tadic and the other Serbian players did not look desperate, and even they played very enthusiastically after conceding the first goal. Portugal journey to qualify will certainly be a little difficult because they have to undergo a play-off match, but I personally also believe they will be able to qualify for Qatar. |

actually, it's not so important for both clubs because they guaranteed the places in the next stage. there is only question which team will take the 1st spot and who will take the 2nd.
It can be said that the main mission of the competing clubs is to qualify for the next round, but as much as possible they will aim for the grup winner as their last position in an elimination grup, as group winners of course they have the opportunity to avoid other teams who also end up as other group winners and that way at least the group winner will most likely face a team that ends up as a runner-up in another group and has the potential to meet a weaker club later. |

Talk about the odds, I do not have many chances of winning dice games. Maybe it is about 5x but that will be rare for me as I think I do not have better luck than the others. Dice games as an exciting gambling game for me can attract me to play longer but fortunately, although I do not have much luck in dice games, I can handle myself not losing much money. I think other people will have their chances to win on dice games as I see some members have their fortune to win a lot of money on dice games.
Just like you, I personally have never had the biggest win in my life while playing dice, and maybe it seems that luck has not been on my side, so far the biggest win I got was no more than $50 in a dice game, and the win it didn't last long because I used the money again to bet on the game  |

The game between Liverpool and Arsenal will be a significant test for Arteta's team, and I'll be cheering for Arsenal to win.
Going for the underdog huh, thats kinda weird choice considering that the game will be on Anfield. As I had said several times in this thread, Liverpool is a different beast in Anfield. On the other hand, Arsenal has been getting pretty decent result so far but this time its not going to end well for Arsenal. I dont think Liverpool is going to lose another match after failing to get 3 points against West Ham in the last round though Liverpool is not an easy team to beat at home, Anfield has been quite famous for being awesomeness for Arsenal and the proof is that the last time Arsenal won at Anfield was in 2012, after that victory until now Arsenal have never won once at Anfield and even Arsenal often lost with a big enough score when playing at home to liverpool, I think the match will be a tough challenge for Arteta to continue his positive trend in their last 10 matches, the defeat in Liverpool's last match will certainly motivate Liverpool players to return to winning ways and most likely they will make arsenal as an outlet. |

My predictions for Laliga for this weekend Laliga games:
Lavante Vs Athletic Bilbao 1-2
Celta Vigo Vs Villarreal 1-2
Sevilla Vs Deportivo 2-0
Atletico Madrid Vs Osasuna 2-0
Barcelona Vs espanyol 3-1
Getafe Vs Cadiz 2-1
Granada Vs Real Madrid 1-2
Elche Vs Real betis 0-1
Real sociedad Vs Valencia 1-1
Rayo vallecano vs Mallorca 0-0
Did Xavi's arrival to Barcelona make you win Barcelona against Espanyol? I personally will bet for Espanyol to win in that match, although now Barcelona have a new coach, but it will not necessarily improve their performance and at least Xavi needs time to make Barcelona better again. My prediction : Lavante Vs Athletic Bilbao 1-2 Celta Vigo Vs Villarreal 2-2 Sevilla Vs Deportivo 3-1 Atletico Madrid Vs Osasuna 2-0 Barcelona Vs espanyol 0-1 Getafe Vs Cadiz 2-0 Granada Vs Real Madrid 1-2 Elche Vs Real betis 1-1 Real sociedad Vs Valencia 2-1 Rayo vallecano vs Mallorca 2-0 |

Although they are now above group F standings, but the position of manchester united in the champions league is still very risky to be displaced by other teams, and maybe now Ole's focus can at least make manchester united qualify for the last 16 so that Ole's position will be more secure, I think Ole's current position is quite safe in manchester even though the three matches given by manchester did not get negative results, but until now we can see if Ole is still retained and this proves that manchester still believes in Ole as a coach even though there is a lot of speculation that Ole will be replaced by zidane. We just need to support management's decision to determine who will replace him if Ole doesn't get another chance this season. He's not so bad, nor is he so influential that it's still possible to expect titles from a coach other than Ole. Manchester United's inconsistency in performance was a factor sooner or later in management's decision to make change, but Ole will still get a few more chance at Manchester United just to improve the situation. There have been previous experiences where Arteta was quite close to sacking and changing coach, but he's got a good recipe for improving his players' form at Arsenal to this day which has made the situation safe. Now this is Ole third season at manchester united and not even a single achievement can be given to manchester united so far and the proudest achievement of Ole may only be able to take manchester to the Europa League final in 2020/2021 season, you can't compare Ole performance in manchester with Arteta is at Arsenal, because it can be said that so far Arteta's performance is still better than Ole because at least Arteta has managed to present the FA Cup and Community Shield during his coaching, besides that Ole actually has a better squad than Arsenal but the inability to manage strategies makes Manchester slumped. |

Interestingly, there is only one team that have guaranteed promoting to the 1/8-finals now. And it is Lyon as they won all of their four matches and their nearest opponent has 4 only points. There is no other team that have guaranteed to qualify for this round or the 1/16-finals. Considering there are two match weeks left, this means that the competition will be at a high level.
Lyon became the first team to lock up tickets to the last 16 of the Europa League after winning 4 matches without defeat, even though they still have 2 matches left but the 12 points that lyon have will not be able to be caught by other teams at this time, I think lyon must maintain its performance in the league Europe this season, because although it's a little difficult, of course, Lyon has a chance to get a trophy compared to its chances in Ligue 1, the Europa League trophy can actually be a target for clubs that are not able to compete to win trophies in their respective leagues, such as Westham, Lyon and as well as other teams, besides winning the european league will certainly get an automatic ticket to the champions league next season. |

Bad decision with Ole only appears if the board feels that Ole can not help the club to complete this season somewhere in top 4 and fail in Champions League too early. They can skip a few bad matches if Ole can finish the given task.
No one knows what's on the mind of the manchester united board right now while still keeping Ole, even though we can see if manchester united is currently really down in the english league standings and for the champions league I think they are also still in critical position at this time in the group, but fortunately Ole has ronaldo who is at least able to make changes to the manchester united match as happened in the match against Atalanta last. |

My predictions for this weekend Seria A matches:
Atlanta Vs spezia 2-0
Lazio Vs juventus 1-2
Fiorentina Vs AC Milan 1-2
Sassuolo Vs Cagliari 2-1
Bologna Vs Venezia 2-0
Salernitana Vs Sampdoria 1-1
Inter Milan Vs Napoli 2-1
Genoa Vs Roma 1-2
Verona Vs empoli 2-2
Torino Vs udinese 2-2
Seriously, Napoli will lose to Inter Milan? I think now Napoli are in their best form, although maybe you think Inter Milan is better than Napoli and I don't know why you chose Inter Milan in that match, but I don't think 2-1 is not the ideal score, I personally see Napoli will win the match or at least the possibility of the match will end in a draw later and my reason is of course by looking at the current performance of both teams. |

Nowadays many big football clubs in the world are starting to create Fan tokens to increase revenue for the club, besides that fan tokens are also created to make it easier for fans to access fan-related membership facilities such as voting on club decisions, prizes, merchandise designs and etc. but what we need to know, fan tokens don't have to be backed by the value principle underlying Bitcoin or Ethereum, so fans receive their value from how much fans value to be able to participate in the club and benefit from the club later.
so the value of this token depends on how strong the club is, and how many followers they have. so if you want to get a hold of this type of token, maybe, choose a football club that have strong social media presence as well as large number of supporters. and if you are a solid fan for that particular club, i believe you can optimise the use of this token by participating on their events or acquiring items related to the club. the token itself is not backed by any known alt, but the value is determined on how strong the demand of the token is in the market. What I know is that the price of club tokens is not too affected by other cryptos such as btc or ethereum, but what is certain is that the price of a club token is very dependent on every rumor or what happens to the club, and the proof we can see when Lionel Messi was rumored to PSG, at that PSG token price rising slowly and when lionel messi officially became a PSG player, the price of the PSG token broke the record for the most expensive price of all time and even now the PSG token has the first rank as a fan token compared to other club token fans. |

But one aspect from the perspective of Bayern is true: even if Lewandowski performs so well right now and probably will perform well for another two or so years, they already have to deal with a potential successor. The older players get, the more they are injured. Imagine Lewandowski gets heavily injured and missed four months or so. That would be a hell of a scenario for Bayern during a season. Salihamidciz already said that they are watching out for Haaland.
It is quite a challenge and a hard decision to make for the bayern officials at the moment regarding the future of Lewandowski in their club. In recent years Lewandowski said a lot of times, that he wants a new challenge and stuff like that and he even hired a new agent a few years ago in order to make a transfer to another Club happening, but Bayern always managed to make him stay with a higher salary. Now it seems like the odds have changed a little. After this season Bayern can have haaland for 75 m € and i think they will definitely try to get him for that. I don't think Lewandowski will leave easily, he also has to consider at his age that he is no longer young, at least Lewandowski will only think about his retirement. Challenge at Bayern Munich itself I think is good enough, because most players want a consistent club to be in the UCL, so with Lewandowski staying at Bayern Munich I think that is enough for him at this age. Lewandowski can be said to have become a Bayern Munich icon since being bought from Dortmund in 2014, and now Lewandowski has become Bayern Munich mainstay goal machine, especially now that he has won many prestigious trophies with Bayern, so I don't think there is any reason for Lewandowski go to other klub, the only hope that may still be in Lewandowski mind at this time is to win the Ballon d'Or and also a prestigious trophy for his national team, besides that I think now his career at bayer munchen has been very extraordinary. |

Calciomercato reports that Juventus Turin winger Dejan Kulusevski is interested in the top club from England. According to the source, the footballer is at gunpoint at London's Arsenal. The head coach of the red-whites Mikel Arteta is personally interested in the Swedish player. It is also reported that the London club is ready to offer its winger Nicolas Pepe in exchange for Kulusewski. Recall that Dejan has been in favor of the black-and-whites since 2020, and his current contract is valid until June 2025. https://www.readfootball.com/arsenal-i-yuventus-mogut-poyti-na-obmen-igrokami-245367.htmlLooks like juventus are really ready to bear the loss by selling dejan Kulusevski to another club, because I know Kulusevski was bought by juventus from atalanta for 44 million euros, but now they will sell him for 25 million euros, although he is a good player, but in my opinion he is not the right choice for arsenal, moreover they have to sacrifice pepe in the purchase, actually pepe is a nimble player but he only gets a little playing time in arsenal so he can't show his best performance so far. |

Since yesterday all kinds of outlets are reporting that Manchester is now actively promoting a potential engagement with Zidane. Of course nothing is official, but to any rumor there is usually a little bit of truth. And if you ask me it would also make perfect sense. I also think that Zidane and Manchester fits well. If Solskjaer now doesn't deliver the next two games, I would say it is going to happen.
This rumor has appeared in the media when Man United this season began to experience bad results that Ronaldo wanted Zidane to go to Old Trafford, but there are also media reports that Zidane's target is to be able to coach the French national team, but everything can changed. Whatever it is now that Man United needed is new coach if they are late in doing so it will be more difficult for them to compete to stay in the top 4. sourceMaybe this week Ole can be save because they will play against watford but next week it will different. Right, Manchester United will get a tough opponent in the next match. Playing away against Watford may not be a difficult obstacle but after that, Manchester United will play against Villarreal in the UCL and against Chelsea in the EPL which all matches are away matches for Manchester United. In the UCL it is clear, against Villarreal it is a mission to win because if they lose, it is very possible that Atalanta will shift United to second place. With a schedule like this with tough opponents and a very decisive result, I'm not sure Ole will be able to keep United's squad and gameplay going well. Although they are now above group F standings, but the position of manchester united in the champions league is still very risky to be displaced by other teams, and maybe now Ole's focus can at least make manchester united qualify for the last 16 so that Ole's position will be more secure, I think Ole's current position is quite safe in manchester even though the three matches given by manchester did not get negative results, but until now we can see if Ole is still retained and this proves that manchester still believes in Ole as a coach even though there is a lot of speculation that Ole will be replaced by zidane. |
