Who is this guy?

I agree. I genuinely don't think it's who we need. Plus with AFCON he'll be away January/February.

That’s on the proviso they start buying well and are ever ran properly again. I’m sure these exact arguments have been made for that past decade and if anything they've continued to regress. its all very well saying they have more money, but they still have to invest it effectively. Their recent actions don’t suggest that is something they’re about to suddenly achieve.

No chance they vote for it - the PL was established to reduce the top division to 18 clubs 33 years ago; they didn’t do it then due to money, and it’s even less likely it happens now. There are 17 clubs who have to seriously cock up to go down; why would they vote to guarantee at least one of them going down?

Qarabag were infinitely better than Man Utd, there's a bunch of teams that were in the EL this season that should've easily dispatched B/G in a knock-out match-up. Spurs and Man Utd aren't among those, because they've been absolute shit all season and just because they're English doesn't mean them being horrible all season will suddenly change. Bilbao will bum Man Utd so hard they'll not be able to walk for the rest of the season. Spurs'll most likely get a win at home, but not by more than 2. Only two teams have bettered B/G by more than 2 in the last five seasons of European football, like fuck will Spurs be the third. Bilbao though? They'd be capable of doing that, which doesn't bode well for Man Utd.

Man Utd were still England’s biggest club when they went 27 years without a league title. They’re one of those clubs where they’re effectively failure-proof. With or without FFP, Man Utd are not going to fall away in wealth terms. And their wealth more or less guarantees they’ll be back - remember, they have to make the wrong calls constantly every season for many, many years to get to where you’re talking; at some point they’ll get lucky even if not by design due to the wealth and lure of the club

The point of course to illustrate just how vast the gulf is between the two clubs, not to be taken literally. I think there will be those who’ll see Man Utd’s plight and think we’ve overtaken them - we haven’t, and they’ll be back at some point. They’re too big not to.

That local pub team will be challenging as well considering they're closer to us financially apparently, wonder how PSR effects them? 🤔

I could easily see clubs making a lot of money when broadcasting is brought in-house and they launch a Premier League "Netflix" for fans all over the world. Only issues there will be how you distribute the income and if the money will go straight through the clubs to players and agents.

Think we could spend big, if it’s on a player or two we accept could be off the following summer or one after if they do well, and we’d be happy to sell for a profit. We now reaching the stage because of the limited youth players/kids, the signings we make have to be with a view that they could be off in 12/24 months.

It was an xG massacre bobby.

I look great in it.

Who won the xG though eh ?

Wilson stays, we must be signing a young(ish) 2nd choice striker so they have some experience to work with on training ground.

We've already battered Glimt to be fair. One of the worst teams we've played this season. Hojlund got a brace.

I hope Spurs smash them just for those quotes.

Don’t think anyone knows what the future financial landscape can end up as trends change. But say Man Utd don’t challenge Premier League in next 10 years, their finances may stay high, but everyone else will close in and overtake and theirs could be like 6th highest in Prem. Only way they mess up financially and do harm long term, is they have more seasons of wrong investment than have to take on a sizeable chunk of stadium debt. Ratcliffe won’t be there long term, and football clubs to be bought for say £3bn are not logical investments because of how much they cost to run to be competitive. So it’s then all the debt repayments needed to various people which if there’s an average billionaire in charge, would find very challenging.

Spurs will win 2-1 at home and then lose 3-0 away. Spurs are absolute trash, as are you guys. Bilbao would wreck Glimt beyond recognition, though.

Consistently stays like that for a bit, every chance the 18 Prem league may get voted through (with two down), because more sides will fancy their chances of never going down due to gulf in finances, and 18 sides means more wealth for them as there’s 2 less sides to give money too.

The dude who was main footy kit designer for Nike 5-10 years ago is a Geordie and loves the toon. We’ve been pals since school When he was there he always said he would love to design our kit, but alas, twas not to be

Vardy and Jota were good finishers, but it doesn't look like it anymore. DCL is way below the line, which raises all kinds of alarms. Its easier to forgive Nico Jackson, because his pace/power will be creating some of the many opportunities he's had. Above the line, Wood and Welbeck are having great seasons in spite of their historic finishing abilities. Is the circle size minutes played?

Spurs will batter them though.

No malo.
