And in Austria, three clubs are still in the mix for the championship with one game to go ... but RB Salzburg isn't among them, as they are only in 4th place. After 10 straight titles, they won't win silverware for the second season in a row, and they face similar problems like their sister club. They fired Pep Lijnders (Klopps assistant in Liverpool) at Christmas, but his successor Thomas Letsch hasn't been much better. The squad is a mess, and while they could still finish 2nd and go to the CL qualification round, a 4th place finish would mean Conference League. Abysmal for a club that has more resources than the rest of the league combined ... but their work has been shambolic ever since sporting director Christoph Freund left for Bayern Munich in summer 2023. It's been nothing downhill since then.

Your hate for Red Bull is one of my favourite things.
