Well, at least at this point, the ownership isn't changing. Does this mean that results on the pitch are more important than real estate projects? Maybe. Do we see them more willing to spend and back the manager(s)? Who knows. A lot of supporters felt that when Poch reached the Champions League finals in 2019, that the ball was dropped and that was an opportunity to bring some players in and show some ambition.
There's no question that ENIC has done well. They've brought big concerts, some go-kart thing, and obviously a lot of NFL games to the stadium. From that perspective, it's been enormous. From the perspective of on-field success, it's a whole other issue. Have we been more successful than the team down the road? Sure. We won a major European trophy and had a quarter of a million fans line the streets for a huge celebratory parade! But we also had a fantastic team in 2015/16 and arguably the best striker on the planet, and came away empty-handed year after year.
I guess I’ll get to see how entertaining it is for a neutral. That was more difficult when you’re so wide open at the back. But hey, he did get us a trophy in his second season just like he said he would. I can’t argue with that.
Former Premier League referee David Coote has been charged with making an indecent video of a child, Nottinghamshire Police have confirmed.
The 43-year-old from Collingham is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates Court on Thursday, September 11 and is currently on conditional bail.
The charge of making an indecent image of a child refers to activities such as downloading, sharing or saving abuse photos or videos.
Coote was sacked by Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) in December 2024 after a video appearing to show Coote making derogatory comments about Liverpool and their former manager Jurgen Klopp was widely circulated on social media.
In August this year he was given an eight-week suspension by the Football Association over the Klopp footage.
The PGMOL investigation also covered a second video which emerged in November 2024, appearing to show Coote snorting a white powder, purportedly during Euro 2024 where he was one of the assistant VARs for the tournament.
Obviously the intention is just to make it look like they’re taking this seriously, but not actually do anything. The newest charges there are nearly a decade old! It’s farcical.
I guess in another decade they’ll get around to looking at the money that was transferred from the hotel, or the ladies team transaction? Maybe in 2045 they’ll look at why the money owing to Abramovich just disappeared?
