Was coming.

Need to make good on those threats of legal action we made via Lee Charnley right after the takeover about self sponsorship. No other route to dramatically increase income. If big name sales are a possibility we’ll never catch up with the Cartel. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/2900252/2021/10/20/inside-incredible-premier-league-meeting-what-it-means-newcastle-beyond/#

If it takes 14 teams to change PL rules then we need to start working with affected teams to propose a rule change and vote.

Maybe we did until someone bit on the Minteh bait?

My take: -It’s shit we have to sell a promising player to meet PSR rules but no guarantee he would come good in a stronger league. - Selling Minteh (who I would have preferred to grow with us and see where he reached) is preferable to losing Gordon, Isak, or Bruno. -If we were sailing so close why did we not bring in self sponsorship deals for the training ground which has been revamped and is to be expanded (perfect reason for such a deal) after the NFA moved out. Is it possible they want such sponsorship to fall into the next accounting period and need a sale to cover 2023-24? Not sure what the benefits of that are as I understand it looks at a rolling three year period. -Couldn’t we get £15m each for Wilson and Almiron before selling a promising player? Other teams are selling youth prospects with no game time for £18m?

Yes!

Italians making lots of fouls, ref letting them get away with it.

Rooting for our boy Schar and Switzerland.

Enough with this selling players bullshit, take the points hit.

We did and we didn’t sell which suggests maybe we’re not that desperate.

We still had a chief financial officer in charge. If we were at risk he would have raised the alarm to the owners and if we needed a sale and offers were received it would have happened.

14 is enough to change the rules but here we are with those rules. Suggests there’s more than the cartel six who are happy with things as they are (the happy just to be here and pick up the TV money brigade).

Didn’t they say they agreed personal terms and it was up to us now. That doesn’t necessarily mean we’re trying to hawk him for psr reasons, could be another club saw his performances and fancy him and we’ve told him he’s not in our immediate plans for a starting role?

Isn’t he best in a three man defence or so I recall? Is Eddie looking to add some tactical variety with the possibility to go 5-3-2 (Isak and DCL?).

Shit is my wife in charge because I get told the same every time I add more carriers bag’s to the overflowing bag drawer.

Which is fair enough, his success or failure should be due to the decisions he makes and not ones made by others. Managers have to have the final say or things go pear shaped when others sign players the manager doesn’t want.

We’d only need him to be back up to Isak. Think not being the main man and having to return to the team and play through injuries will help him stay fitter.

He’s played a lot on the right as well. Mostly as a RW during 22-23 season but mainly LW this past season. Regardless he won’t come here as elite clubs will be after him. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nico-williams/leistungsdaten/spieler/709187/plus/0?saison=2022

Dude tactically fouled him, hits the other Italian player with his head as he falls and then the Italian player smacks him in the head with his arse as he falls on top of him?

Lovely skill by Williams

Watching Spains play and wishing England could string passes like them.

That would be really unfair on Guehi, think he’s been brilliant. TAA should be the one to miss out.

What a load of shite that was. Nothing will change Southgate will serve up more of the same and then a QF/SF exit.

Shite by Rice.

No Alan we don’t need a second striker up with Kane to do his running.
