I can't imagine it being any different last season if he'd been asked "do you still think you'll be here at the start of the season? " his answer would have been a similarly caged never say never type thing but I'll stay while I'm happy......just now people are asking the question and looking for every blink and pause to mean something.

Re Argentina and their racism shenanigans. It's surprising cos they're not exactly Aryan are they ?

Exeffingzactly !

Right, being an old man you'll have to tell me if that's racist ?

Is there anymore interviews, that's the 3rd today I've watched I didn't take from that what you did, it's being sold as a major thing on the usual BS merchants but it didn't sound that way, more so of a "let's see what his remit is as it seems different to Ashworth's", not "I need barriers !!" Everything sounded positive to me except Tino and Willock still aren't properly training

Link please.

His lips move.

That wasn't in the 10min total sport interview then.

I didn't even get the "wants power lines defined" bit. I heard him setting out a few caveats in the line of "I'm not going to say I'm stopping forever cos who knows what will happen", I heard more "Nothing has happened yet to make me want out".

Bruno, Isak, Botman ffs.

Wow there's some in depth reading of banal professional media speak here. Ffs many of you would panic at the 10 o'clock news meaning there won't be an 11 o'clock and the world's going to end.

Ginola, Albert, Ferdinand, Barton

Surely there are enough deals out there already to use as precedent ? Why dont we have a pillow partner yet ? A Saudi tyre partner like Man Utds Thai one ? I do think we are awaiting the outcome of the Man City case but we should be ready with deals whichever way it goes.

Even if it were deemed FMV ? (See Noon)

We'll see. I honestly think the reason we haven't already is because we know we'd lose. PIF didn't give a fuck about turning the golf world upside down so I don't buy the being nice to gain favour BS. It will always be tinkered with but it won't be brought down until there's a ESL which I'm no fan of.

That must mean PSR is against business law as well. Makes you wonder why it's not been challenged ?

We want a plug and play CB. The reason other clubs didn't go for Yoro apparently was because they didn't think he'd be able to go from the off.

An agreement with the unions can circumvent law ? The clubs voted to pass these rules "tyranny of the majority" but an agreement nonetheless ? There are many areas in which business law works differently with sports clubs and leagues, so as you say, let's wait and see.

And why have so many other sports got salary caps etc, surely business law would say that's illegal, and the company (club) can pay whatever they like infact the whole PSR, FMV etc situation is all illegal. I'm no expert on business law but I reckon theres more to it than ensuring any business can spend what it wants.

That's the way laws work, something happens, it's deemed wrong or unhelpful, laws are brought in to stop or lessen it. There is nothing in business laws about salary caps etc but we have them in many sports. If football clubs are just businesses can a player sue for being suspended by the FA causing them to lose appearance money etc ?

But restrictions etc are put in place on normal businesses to aid competition (ie Stagecoach being stopped from running free busses just in front of other smaller companies to drive them out of business). If it's seen that allowing us and Man City almost unlimited sponsoring would make things less competitive then I'd guess rules within business law could be used to, in their eyes, even things up a bit.

Given that many sports have restrictions like this in place I'd be surprised if they arent treated differently to normal businesses.

I thought it was against the Premier leagues rules ?

I feel sorry for him, due to the curse you just know by November he'll be a jibbering wreck mumbling "How ?......but ?.......we.......I don't understand"

You have no soul.
