did you watch their first 6 games then? Go watch it. He got Forest’s player of the month award for that month, mind you.

We once have some so called plan B players that can change the game by offering something else. And we celebrate their leaving because they “couldn’t break into the starting lineup” or “simply doesn’t fit Howe’s tactics”

I wonder where are the guys that once said “trust the management, we don’t need to care” “how dare you question the management who has done a marvellous job”

He is NOT playing as a ten in Forest. Stop this nonsense.

Botman recorded one of the fastest running speed in EPL history last season before injury Sometimes people really got misled by tall players body build.

Fans rarely move from clubs to clubs. If they have to leave, they will simply quit football and find another interest/sports

Yea, reasonable response from the fans, but the harsh reality under current PSR is like that. I probably should add we could buy 2-3 more prospects in addition to Minteh and Anderson

I think Man City would just keep on raising Legal cases until EPL surrenders and give up all the charges And if UEFA started the war, Man City would do the same These rules would only triggers lawsuits. We have predicted this long before and now probably the time has come.

You know what? I even love that. Anything that could fuck the EPL up - I would welcome it now. Fuck them, all are corrupt bastards. If the norm is to cheat through the failed rules, just do it. That would be “fair”. I don’t fucking care where our money comes from now. It is fucking obvious that the whole league just want to fuck us up. Just us. Just because we are deemed not “glorious” enough to have a chance to be competitive. Fuck them all

and what they are trying to do is to make football becoming another “vacuum”

I remember Viana was not SBRs preferred signing and he had a tough time thinking how to fit in such a classic style no.10 He obviously has had enough talent to cut the top level. It’s just a poor transfer that ruined his career

Just to add, those promoted from Championship needed to invest heavily to stand a chance to survive. Which, by the rulebook, is pushing them to violate the PSR rules. Nottingham took the risk and even though they are playing the marginal game, they are far superior then the likes of Ipswich and Soton, who are not dare to spend and simply stand no chance for the survival battle. The PSR rules is ruining the promotion / relegation system as well. It needs to be completely taken down. Man City is not angel but these rules are fucking Satan

Wait until the small clubs realize the current system in fact would not benefit them and would instead make them become Everton / Leicester City / Villa, forcing them to sell players for peanuts in other to escape from penalty I am pretty sure back at 2021 Everton and Villa were those voting for the rules in order to stop us from being competitive. After three years they knew they have been fooled. If Crystal Palace got relegated this season, suffering from a huge loss of income, they will change their stand in the future as well. The PSR rule is simply unsustainable

I am wondering whether the upcoming voting would be another case subject to Man City’s legal challenge since it is initiated by EPLs statement which Man City lawyer regarded as “far from truth”, aka misleading. Man City got my full support anyway, as long as it can blown away the cartel shit

Yep, exactly what I mean. No way EPL has to resources to challenge so many deals. Say we sign a new shirt sponsor deals worth 40m, just 15m more than Sela, how is it “feasible” for EPL to challenge?

I sincerely hope he is still here after Xmas. We need three points

I find it funny when one of the Saudi Arabia’s intention of buying us is to compete with Abu Dhabi’s Man City, after seeing how successful they have been raising their profile and reputation and now the EPL is so shit that they two decided to become allies at the moment

I think the FA guys will continue to go that route and secretly sending CV everywhere targeting to quit within 6 months, leave the shit to those staying behind

So do we have 7 clubs hold together to stop the proposed new changes? Man City, us, Aston Villa, Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, Everton? Did I miss someone?

Only Everton would be massively hit by the notional interest added to PSR, assuming the annual rate around 5%. For Arsenal it’s just 12.5m per year - it’s easy.

I think the only good thing to us is the burden of proof of APT now lies with the EPL, which means whenever they want to challenge our sponsor deals it will likely go to court and thus incur a lot of legal fees that they likely cannot do it every time. We should have better sponsor deals coming which helps a bit For the ownership loan interest, the impact is not that big if the club can simply change it from loan to equity interest. For some clubs with multiple owners that might be troublesome. It won’t be big enough to scrap the whole PSR However, I think a lot of still yet to come. What we don’t know is how this first ruling affects the other 115 charges. Finger crossed

I just got a question, re the shareholders loan. So if it’s deemed to be RPT, and notional interest should be calculated and added to the equation, could the clubs get around it by changing it into capital injection / direct donation to the club?

believe it or don’t.

I just wonder how much would be the transfer fees if we need to find someone to replace Burn, and on what level of wages

Not really. Within most companies, usually, it’s the working level that is able to grasp the in depth details instead of the managements. Probably around 50% of the management personnel is redundant. They may have their own networking, they might be good at relationship management, but they might not be really good at the aspect or area they are looking after Too many managers, too little workers. That’s a common problem in working organisations nowadays. If you have followed the gaming industry, Ubisoft is probably the latest example I could think of. Top level investment banks have their own ranking system and database re all the management level personnel / directors / CEO etc.
