Need a Globemaster rather than a Gulfstream for that rancid pile.

Ego.

Dunno. Was that an EU rule? Presumably post-Brexit rules would apply now, at least for domestic competitions.

I can understand the Saudi teams having to pay inflated wages to get players to go over there but the inflated transfer fees make no sense. If a team will accept £50m, why are they steaming in with a first offer of £80m+?

I mean they absolutely should but I'll be gutted if they do.

Wait, are you going to a match?

Still laugh whenever I hear the phrase "the traditional big six".

Lots of Twitter chat that Mbeumo will go to Man U, looks like they could be offering him big wages.

I know it's not this simple and they've still had a terrible season, but Spurs sacking their manager after winning a trophy would be so funny. Proper "that's not what we do here"

I know you're earnestly trying to be a WUM and witty to boot, but it isn't working. Stop being a silly billy.

Aside from sorting out our summer transfer business? What's the point in a little more headroom when you're busy sucking up all of the oxygen?

But not as good as Kellehers, in my opinion of course. Also, I find the Cunha deal a bit strange. Amorim has been quite ruthless in his approach of weeding out the bad attitudes and egos only to have replaced them with another..

Even if you weren't being daft, that's not how FFP works. We don't need the 40m to buy players - money isn't the issue - 'headroom' is. Selling Gordon for 40m + a 30m trade wouldn't mean we have 40m left over to spend.

Marketing. There's an entire generation of under 30s in the wider football world who don't know that. And some very interested parties who would prefer they didn't and want to keep up the Saudi interlopers narrative so they can insist that the Chelseas and Tottenhams deserve special favours based on their historicity.

Are they saying Isak ISN’T signing for Arsenal now But they’ve spent an entire season making their fans believe it was a sure thing. Now they’re saying the complete opposite. Guys, they’re gonna’ protest now.

Not sure that's true any more since Murphy's breakout season. If Mbuemo can actually double as a striker then maybe, but I'm not even sure he plays that role effectively.

Eh?

Why should they? 14 years we had Ashley for, they were not responsible for his actions. Telling people what they largely already know isn’t going to change anything. They only thing they can do is make steps to get us back there and above it.

Down a YouTube rabbit hole I stumbled across this old gem. Love it 😄. https://youtu.be/OBnW-hCS1RM?si=29FZCTx3AgdKI7ad

Near enough two decades really.

The club should really spend a little bit more of it's own time hammering this kind of point home, along with the ongoing discussion in the other thread about how many times we'd have been in the Champions League if it was based on modern standards. We were in a big 4 before there was ever a big 6. Make the Ashley decade look bizarre rather than what's happening now.

This. The narrative that Stavely got us into the shit is itself a load of shit. We're not in the shit. We're further away from being in the shit than we've been for years, thanks in large measure to her. If she hadn't gambled on spending big, we'd probably have been relegated and up to our necks in shit.

You done anything nice this weekend?
