I had a look and they are in 12th place. Last year they finished in 11th place and the year before in 12th place so not struggling and have a tiny budget.
Yes Rio are doing okay and Olympiakos fans are currently very happy too.

What a complete and utter car crash. The blame starts at the top.

What a bizarre season the appointment of ange was the start I’m afraid and we’ve been holding on ever since

Unfortunately for all the good Marinakis has done for this club, the blame for this season lies mainly with him
He wanted us to progress too quickly. I’m convinced he was looking at managers over the Summer and that is one of the reason Nuno got wound up over the summer. Then buying a whole new team again too late in the transfer window instead of 4 - 5 first team players as early as possible to give them time to bed in. Then hiring his mate Ange, who everyone could see was never going to succeed.
I don’t blame him for the appointment of Dyche because at the time it sort of made sense but the football has been terrible.
Finally hiring Edu, what has he actually done for the club
Rant over. Let’s hope we make the right appointment now and stay up, although I think it is unlikely

I hope others are right, but I can't defend sacking three managers on the season. The one thing it does bring is focus on where the blame will ultimately lie if we do get relegated. A new manager is unlikely to make us much more clinical in the final third.

EM won't go down without a fight.
Fair play for rolling the dice again.
Yes he has made mistakes (who doesn't) but he won't just roll over and die.
Hope his latest decision pays off for him and for all of us.
