Could leagues maybe step up and threaten them somehow? Lord knows nothing drives teams crazier than international breaks.

Unanimously approved.

Just skimming over the details, I can't even begin to impress how much I hate what they've done.

Newly-renovated soccer stadiums (particularly one that is arguably the most famous on earth) are not supposed to look like this only 2 years after completing construction:

It's probably negated by the money they gave him but Unai Emery leaving Sevilla for PSG seems like the worst managerial move ever right now. Sevilla is second in La Liga 4 (7) pts back of Real, has maybe the easiest knockout round game in the Champions League and is rather fun to watch play. Meanwhile, PSG is 5 points back of Nice, has to get past Barca to advance to the QF's of the Champions League and is totally reliant on whether or not Edinson Cavani remembers how to play football on any given matchday. Ouch.

That was a thorough demolition job by Everton on Pep and City. Doesn't get much easier from here - Spurs visit Eastlands next week and they travel to West Ham shortly after.

In case anybody was wondering why a league in a country as prosperous, populous and football-mad as France battles for prestige with the likes of the Portuguese and Belgian leagues instead of England and Spain, well, apparently their fans will spit on you if you make money lol.
