The sport of football needs 100 Martin Calladines

A fun thing to do whenever a manager complains about expected goals is to google their name and "better chances." Sometimes you get something especially beautiful like "At the start of the season you can ignore this and hope it levels itself out"

A lot of discussion is understandably taking place about the rules on multi-club ownership groups.
The best approach would be to ban them. They have no legitimate purpose - creating two-tier football in pursuit of allowing rich people to buy sporting advantage.

The bigger question is how someone could lose $34billion in a day and how it likely makes no difference to that individual. What a system.

Sports is one of the few arenas where billionaires come up against employees who they cannot easily direct and where they frequently face humiliating outcomes, but it seems never to teach them humility.
Seemingly, by the time you become a billionaire, the damage is irreversible.
