Take It or Leave It: getting rid of VAR, closed leagues in Europe, when to fire a manager, and Weston McKennie's next club

2024-05-1658:19

Your favorite semi-recurring series is back: it's Take It or Leave It time! We've got plenty of your takes to break down, including... 1) Getting rid of VAR entirely would be absolute nonsense 2) One of the Big 5 European leagues will become a “closed league” before MLS implements any form of promotion and relegation. 3) MLS will eventually have pro/rel but only by forming a North American Super league that both MLS and LigaMX promote into 4) Firing a manager mid-season is the wrong call 90% of the time 5) Mckennie's next move should be to Borussia Dortmund 6) Arsene Wenger once said Arsenal is at a disadvantage over Manchester United because it has more derbys. How are we taking or leaving that one? Sponsors! Today’s episode is brought to you by… Mack Weldon! Get 20% off your first order at mackweldon.com by using promo code “TSS”! LinkedIn!
