English Premier League 2020-2021
LFC - 26 of 30 points in the final 10 matches, with wins in the final five, and moving from 8th in the table on Feb. 7 to 3rd at the end. Nat Phillips, who was headed to Swansea on loan, and Rhys Williams, who was to get playing time at the 6th level, solidified the centerback positions. Most definitely a positive finish and well punctuated by the fans in the stands at Anfield today. Now the wait for the first training match.
Where did you find this at? Or did someone text this to you?

It was a picture in a text.
Brentford defeats Swansea City 2:0 in the EFL Championship play-off final, clinching the final promotion spot. For the Bees, it will be their first time playing English top-flight football since 1947.
Certainly not the news I wanted to see today:
Nuno Espirito Santo appears to be the odds on favorite to replace Ancelotti. Other names being rumored include Eddie Howe, David Moyes, Antonio Conte, and Rafa Benitez with names like Graham Potter, Gareth Southgate, Paulo Fonseca, and Frank Lampard being seen as longshots.

Lots of rumblings today about Conte to Spurs. Of those available, he'd probably be my top choice.

i think lampard should be given another chance.
otherwise, it's just the same old story between Sarri, Conte, Benitez, Ancelotti constantly moving clubs every couple of years. seems there's not much managerial stablility anymore. pep and klopp staying as long as they have is very fortunate for those clubs but they have to wonder how long they have until they move on too e.g. barca comes calling for pep again. and somehow many of these managers are winning titles in their first year (granted, they are great managers and they're typically not stepping into a dumpster fire unless jose was just sacked). i'm torn between wanting a proven winning manager even if only for a couple of years and giving arteta more time to re-build.

Sounds like Nuno is gonna be the choice for Everton (or at least they're discussing the opening with him).
As if things weren't going swimmingly enough at Everton, now there are reports that Richarlison wants to join Ancelotti at Real Madrid.

real madrid only has eyes for mbappe at the moment. i'm hoping we can get odegaard back for more; much preferred him over ceballos.

Sounds like the Everton job is down to either Rafa Benitez or Roberto Martinez. Benitez has the support of the owner but his comments when he was Liverpool manager calling Everton a "small club" may not endear him to the Everton supporters. Martinez has the support of the director of football and the club chairman. Benitez's availability at the moment may also play in his favor.
Rafa Benitez officially named manager of Everton.
I mean, I get why many in the Everton fanbase would be against it. Though to be honest I don't know if there was a much better option (i.e. available, which Roberto Martinez currently isn't) out there for them.
I'll be interested to see how much the roster turnover will be with Rafa at the helm. I know James has talked about leaving since Ancelotti is gone. Perhaps this move keeps him at Goodison Park.

neither one sound like great hires.
perhaps levy is finding it difficult to find someone to work with him?
rafa looks good on paper but i can understand the fans not being happy.

Levy's problem is that he's a cheap SOB. They could have had their pick of several managers, but most wanted more funds for themselves or a guarantee of funds available to spend on the squad. He finally found someone whose demands fit within his little box.

If there was any doubt, it has been leaked/confirmed by an Icelandic newspaper to be him.
As if this offseason hadn't gone well enough for Everton already.
