Another point about going in the home end of a European game is obviously where in the ground you decide to buy your ticket. As above you're unlikely to have any issue in most of San Siro, but you'd definitely have a problem if you got a resale ticket in the middle of the curva.

The best thing we got with Mitchell was Bunce. I’m pleased to see he’s staying!

Gives us something to talk about if nothing else

I think the feeling is it's likely to be the Europa league. Given the right wing tendencies of their supporters though it's no great loss.

Liverpool getting £10m to allow Trent to leave a month early. Mental.

Makes sense tbh. He seems like the type of twat who would prefer to sit on the bench in London than come and build a proper career at Newcastle.

Did it for PSG last time as wanted to go to at least one CL away tie (got to three Europa last time when I had my ST). Glad I did it, and had a great few days in Paris, but wouldn't make a habit of it probably. It's really not enjoyable being unable to celebrate. Think the only ones I'd possibly do it for again would be the Bernabeu or the the new Camp Nou. There's strong tourist vibe anyway in the home end of those stadia.

I didn't say we can't get work done, I just said it's not helpful that we can't seem to get a DOF established long term since the takeover. How can changing personnel in such an important area be unimportant? Otherwise why even appoint one? Mitchell was brought in specifically to identify good value transfer targets as far as I'm aware. If we don't need that then was that not a required appointment?

Honestly, don't think Fernandes will be a crazy loss.

We did this for Milan last time and no issues. We didn't wear colours or owt and kept quiet enough. Everyone around us knew we were toon fans though and they didn't care. In fact when we were leaving and going down the spiral tower thing we saw loads of other folk in toon shirts and there seemed no issue. Was going to try in Paris too but got warned against it and despite speaking French didn't want to risk it as PSG fans tend to be a bit more cuntish as a rule.

Those sweet sweet Floridian dividends. Glazers going Tampa Bay Rowdy for the sack of filthy lucre heading their way.

There were loads in the Dortmund home end last time, but I think ease and/or danger varies massively depending on who it is.

I don't even think it's a guarantee we reinvest that money. You might just see the return of the dividends.

Has anyone had any experience of going in the home end for a European away tie? That is my only option to get to see us play away and happy to take the risk.

I know coefficients aren’t as important as they used to be (in sporting terms anyway, now more relevant for finances really), but I’ll repost this excellent site for all things coefficient: https://kassiesa.net/uefa/data/method5/ccoef2025.html

Absolutely ridiculous fee for a 30 year old. Man Utd are right to rip the Saudi’s arm off for that sort of cash. Ultimately it’s all spreadsheets not soul these days.

In the world of PSR (which Man Utd are one of the biggest proponents of) selling a 30+ year old for £80m is almost always the right decision.

Cracking thread - thanks @Marko NUFC for picking up the baton on this one.

Constantly changing DOFs now doesn’t have a massive impact. None of them have stayed long enough to have made a meaningful long term impact that we’ll have to adjust.

Ramsdale would be very specifically the one player that I'd put my trust for Howe aside for. I cannot emphasise enough how shit I think he is.

I have faith in you Shay, and when this random Spanish bloke with a proactive agent saves the pelanty that wins us the Chapions League the rest of you are going to look pretty silly.

There much confidence Nice can make it through qualifying?

Best case scenario would be they sell Fernandes for that and their recent transfer success remains as is. It would take a hell of a coup or scouting insight to replace him like for like, so they might have to Moneyball it.
