I’m not suggesting doing anything Chelsea and Villa haven’t. That’s a precedent. if you could share compelling evidence of the contrary I would change my opinion.

Like a training match - PSG are barely out of 1st gear

Amanda and The Rubens being Tories hardly equates to blatant bent practices does it. Come on man, for fuck sake.

Don’t call me victim Dropout. Odd thing to say to someone. PSR is about running a sustainable operation but its actual function is really to benefit already rich clubs who has no restrictions prior to; it’s financial restrictions do not increase with inflation while everything else in football does - and cute little loopholes make the whole thing a joke.

Naturally he said he didn’t know anything but did smile knowingly at Nick Popes post on Trafford.

Rumours Villa have sold their women’s team to themselves

Get him to comment something cryptic on one of our transfer targets insta posts, and see how long it takes to go viral.

Who'd have thought the dynamics would be the shady US owners vs the straight shooting Saudi's...

Does PIF owning the club make you sick? amanda and Reubens are literal massive Tories right? You hate them too? I actually agree with you. But we are a massive part of the problem. But we I mean our owners.

Every time I check back on this thread, I'm genuinely impressed by its ability to discover entirely new depths of dysfunction. It's almost an art form at this point. Keep it up please

How sure are you about this?

Any news of any PL teams needing to scramble to sell tomorrow? I know there were vague whispers of Villa and West Ham earlier in the window but are they still needing to get rid of some?

But we signed some sort of agreement with the PL that we would not challenge their rulings if they allowed PIF to buy Newcastle. Chelsea owners didn't. I'm not saying that stops us bending the rules in the same way, but PIF do seem pretty determined to play strictly by the rulebook.

Your putrid Thatcherite views on our beautiful game make me gag. We should be fighting to save our national passtime, not further entrench the downward spiral towards mass consumerist bile. How does your ideas on how we break the rules to compete help lower division sides, non league or grass roots? Oh that's right, it doesn't at all, because you don't really care about football at all. Makes me sick.

Great shout, they need to get 12-13 million by the end of tomorrow to avoid fines. This could be the out of nowhere signing we need to kick start this transfer window.

What have Betis got to do with this?

Just getting on the plane home with him now. Reckons he might be fit for start of the season but it’ll be tight. Pre-Season starts on Monday.

Yes. If only she'd had the sense to veto the acquisitions of Isak, Bruno, Tonali, Gordon, Botman, Barnes, Hall and/or Livramento, then we'd still have Elliot Anderson and the Minteh kid. Of course we wouldn't have won a trophy or been in the Champion's League twice in three years, but at least we'd be able to offer more money for Joao Pedro before being outbid by Chelsea anyway. Dreadful incompetent woman. Wish she'd never darkened the club's door.

We're nowhere near Chelsea's way of fucking playing. They should have folded when the bent Russian fucked off. They've been insulated from suffering the effects of their rule bending and consistent underperformance on the pitch. There's not another club in world football that can finish outside European spots and then slash 200 million+ for central midfielders

Renan Lodi vibes.

DCL on a free transfer would be good business. If we’ve shown interest before this one will almost certainly happen.

We are owned by a nation state. We signed the AC Milan captain in an offer deemed too good to turn down. We signed Isak after Betis finished 6th in La Liga and we finished 11th. If our owners wanted. They could buy assets into Newcastle and sell it to themselves. They have the financial resources. We can hate the game. But it’s futile hating the players when we are one. And one of the worst if we’re being honest from a worldwide perspective.

Given we are supposedly chasing Jao Pedro, how does that make DCL an alternative if Pedro goes to Chelsea? They are completely different types of player.

Gan outside.
