Recent media has suggested that the forthcoming season has brought about a £10 bet challenge between Jason Hopton and Garysean Wilson. The possible bet which has yet to be accepted by the mouth of the north Wilson is who will finish highest between his Inter Milan side and Simon Marsh's Atletico Madrid. Wilson was scathing in his attack on Hamza 5-3-2P Siddiqui for caretaking the side into champions league contention. Wilson wanted more and returned to the club to steer them to a 7th placed finish, just below Atletico Madrid. Fresh in the press this week Wilson appeared to claim that Inter Milan would have finished higher had he been at the helm all season. However, finance man Hopton was complimentary of the job that Marsh has been doing over 3 seasons with the Atletico club. Wilson was quick to scoff suggesting that Atletico, formerly known as Ascoli were a top side full of quality and that Marsh has done nothing. Certainly Marsh has deliviered 0 trophies and has not come close, although he would argue that luck of the cup draws has not favoured his side. However, Ascoli had the 14th highest wages in EFL1 when Marsh took over and they have punched to 08th 08th and 06th placed finishes over those three seasons. These are the statistics that Hopton clearly favoured Atletico continuing their improvement but Wilson was having nothing off it claiming Marsh rarely deals in the transfer market. There could be some truth in this fact with Inter Milan taking first advantage for the forthcoming season by pipping Atletico to the signing of Danny Olmo tonight.
