Throwing money around like confetti?

Sources?

Surely not?

That would be hilarious.

Especially once they inevitably sack Zidane as well.

I thought this was their opening offer for Trossard!!!

Express.co.uk - how’s this for lazy journalism:

Potter's reign in west London got off to a dream start with a nine-game winless streak, including home and away victories over AC Milan in the Champions League. Things started to unravel, however, after suffering a heavy defeat at the hands of former club Brighton in October.

why would a club "submit offer for" an out of work manager? weird wording, as if its made up using the template for a player transfer.

I doubt the credibility. However the offer could be to Zidane himself.

Its a very funny story, whether its true or not

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

“OK Diario claim that a huge £44.5million-per-season offer has landed at the feet of former Real Madrid coach and serial Champions League-winning manager Zidane. The 50-year-old has been out of management since 2021 but Boehly is reportedly prepared to make him the highest-paid manager in the world.

"Zidane has a firm offer from an English team," Eduardo Inda told El Chiringuito. "Specifically, from Chelsea. They have a coach [Potter] who leads the team down the street of bitterness and they are thinking of changing him”

Street of bitterness

It’s the express , not exactly a credible source .

 

[Swansman]

I would imagine Zidane will end up in PSG or maybe Juventus. PL not very likely. He's never expressed any interest whatsoever in playing or managing in England.

The Express lifted the story from OK Diario.

According to wiki:
Okdiario is known for promoting falsehoods[9][10] and has been at the forefront of several controversies related to misinforming and fabricating stories.[11][12][13] According to a study by the University of Valencia published in November 2017, it is Spain's worst rated media outlet.[14]

Surely not?
