A load of dudes walked into Sporting Lisbon's training ground and beat the shit out of everyone

I dunno but it's making me think about what we should have done with Moreno a long time ago
 
Wow... Their president has always seemed like a compete shitbag, but this is just insane. Wouldn't blame their players for rescinding their contracts en masse, they must now have ample legal grounds for doing so.
 
We've been interested in Gelson Martins for a while, so he could be one. KingBinny also posted something about Bruno Fernandes, but I'm not sure these are not made up.
 
Martins is utter tosh isn't he? Linked by A Bola publication wasn't he?
 

The league is finished now. They ended on 3rd place. They were in 2nd place, but lost on the last day and Benfica overtook them. 2nd place gives access to champions league playoff, while 3rd goes to europa league.

They have invested heavily to win the league. That's the single most important thing. They haven't won it in 15 years or something.

Everything turned sour a few months ago, their President went online for one of his usual Facebook rants and named and shamed players for their bad performance after they lost to Atletico Madrid in the Europa League. Atletico Madrid. He even said some players forced getting yellow carded so they could get suspended for the 2nd leg.

Obviously didn't sit well with the players so they all put up a post on Instagram saying these matters should be dealt in private, etc.

The president then made another post literally threatening to suspend them all for being so bratty, but quickly deleted it.

Ever since then tensions have been high.

They lost the last match on Saturday and apparently had team meetings yesterday. From that there were lots of reports flying around that everyone (players and manager) was going to be suspended, but then it was denied as fake news (there wasn't any proof to be fair).

And now this has happened.

All The President's Men?
 
I've let you down dude. Love Lisbon too. Next time
Lisbon is a great city. I sometimes say to Mrs Athens why she couldn't have been Portuguese instead of Greek so then we would be living in Lisbon or Porto. I've heard Porto is even better but I haven't been there.

Lisbon is great. But when I was spending some time i Portugal I felt it was the Brazilians that made Portugal smile...
 
Beaten in the cup final by a third tier side with someone actually called Quim lifting the cup. The furry cup?
 
Said it before, and I will say it now, I wouldn't have any of them at Liverpool, saw them Vs Rio Ave, and all 22 players on the pitch were absolutely crap, including Sebastian Coates, who we all know is crap.

This the type of scouting report we need more of.
 
That Carvalho is meant to be a boss DM though. Not that I know what I'm on about.

You've said this before Peatch, but couldn't it have been an off day? If you judged our lot on our games with West Brom you'd say they were all fucking hopeless.
