That would be King Eddie doing his best to win manager of the season next year!

It’s certainly true in the case of certain agents who are currently arguing over the rights to a prem player’s contract. He’s pretty high level and they have a number of players on their books so likely very widespread.

It totally is outrageous, given that being an agent is a largely unregulated business. It just adds a little more perspective on player wage demands. They might be asking for more as they have ongoing liabilities to their agent/staff. It’s a bit like a boxer having to pay trainer’s wages etc out of their fight earnings, the headline figure might not reveal the whole picture.

Interesting point on player’s wages. The agent takes their percentage not just on the transfer fee and/or signing on fee, but also of the entire wages throughout the contract. So if an agent is on say 10% commission for Tielemans, the agent will pocket £20k per week through the contract at £200k.

I want Chris Rigg for the fume!

I really can’t tell if I like this :-S

It’s clear as day that Maxi has Isak’s respect for his skills. That’s commendation enough for me. Maxi stays

That kills you!

I agree but only for today. And if they lose my truce will end at full time.

30 cattle up a steep hill!

Second time I’m crying before I’m even doing the school run. Bloody hell I’m a mess!

I suggest we make New Astor a proper kingdom. Make Eddie the King, all monies the club generates comes to him, then he dishes the money out to whom he pleases. Gives players peerages and titles, same with staff etc.

We all know #2 should be Mad Dog Tinds but sadly he’s not been nominated! 😜

Love to take Ferguson from Brighton!

In the eyes of the EPL we’re like Lord Sauron trying to rule the big six with the One Ring of Power. Sir Edward Howe: “We’re not here to simply compete, we want to be the One Team, To Rule Them All!!!”

May I add, for both sides of the argument, Wout Weghorst?

Eddie’s style may evolve again next year. Perhaps calmer more possession-based football. He doesn’t have to play the same style each year

100% correct post. You've won the Maxi debate. All subsequent replies should defer to this post.

Did they have to time it from the end of our Fun88 contract? Wish they’d have started it this summer so we could crack on with the new improved deal!

Bruce did a good job on us, but a terrible job for us. It's important to be clear with the small words that communicate the big difference.

Yep, he's shown he has a proficient knee-slide celebration. It's a yes from me!

Dodgy ankle and still the best CM in the league. Other prem midfielders must be gutted reading that

In his welcome video Schar said to Gordon that Gordon needed to earn Schar’s protection. As far as I’m concerned he’s still yet to earn it. Needs to wind his neck in or let Schar on him one v one after training Schar came through years of Bruce abuse. I can’t imagine he takes nicely to seeing Gordon treat Sir Eddie like that!

Man Utd win for me. We don’t need to finish above both teams, only 1 of them. If both us and Manure beat Spurs it knocks Spurs out of the race. So I want Manure win first, draw second.
