Bournemouth may have lost Richard Hughes to Liverpool which is a massive loss, but picking up former Roma boss as a replacement in Tiago Pinto looks like a solid gain
Bournemouth appoint former Roma director as head of football recruitment
Tiago Pinto succeeds Richard Hughes, the former Cherries midfielder, who joined Liverpool in March after a decade on the south coast

In reason #48 of "why do people care about Football at the very top" Real Madrid have just won the Champions League for about the 15th time in 18 years
And promptly signed Kylian Mbappe
I really don't know why everyone didn't just let these behemoth clubs (and Spurs) fuck off and play in their own sandpit.

10 different winners in the last 24 years and 5 in the last 6 years isn't actually that bad

I reckon if you stretched that out to semi finalists you wouldn't add many clubs.
And considering you are talking a competition covering the whole of Europe, you've got the same 15 clubs represented at the pointy end every year. And much of that dictated by the QF and semi final draw.

In both of the last 2 seasons, the quarter-final has put the best 4 teams on the same side of the draw - meaning finals for Inter and Dortmund and Real Madrid/Man City knocking each other out. As DM says, they are changing it to make sure that the top teams get through wherever possible.
If you finish 9th to 24th in the 36 team league(!) and make it to the final, you will have played 17 games instead of the current 13 games.

I see a kiwi has been snapped up by Bournemouth. Fair play to the lad. I think it’s just him and Chris wood.

Is he a Kiwi or an Aussie? Either way, unfortunate for the Phoenix because he was great this year. Nice piece of business though, and great achievement for the player

Alex Paulsen is from Auckland.
He also can't be loaned back to an A-League club as they changed the rules a few years ago when Melbourne City exploited that loophole.
no, but he can be loaned to Hibs, Lorient of which he also owns.
Top squad do need a new goalie as Radu won't be extended so there is still a good chance he stays in Bournemouth
