Unbelievable

Lewis Hall

Right, bring back Dan Burn. We look lost defensively without him. Or even better, get Sven back to fitness

Kelly man, easy block

Oh FFS

Man, we'd better win tonight. These are shite

Harvey Barnes to the rescue

What a goal that would have been...

HOW!?

Livramento and Hall man, what were Chelsea thinking?

FFS Gordon should score

Fucking linesman

Oh great, Longstaff has knackered Willock now

Damn, thought that was in

Fuck sake

Strong start this

Howay the lads

He should be fine for a few more appearances as long as he doesn't have to get out on the pitch

Strength of that bench compared to this time last year Here's hoping Kelly has a good game at CB.

Don't think so. The 105m/3 year rolling is allowable losses.

Didn’t know you were on the commercial team or management board..?

So with the current rules being unlawful and no new ones being voted in any time soon, what is the actual current situation with respect to FMV testing of APT?

I subscribe to the notion that we are being hamstrung in attempting to compete with the current best clubs due to a large revenue gap and measures in place to stop us from increasing our commercial revenue fast enough to catch up anytime soon. Having said that, I do think (commercial) revenue is far from a decisive factor on its own and is easily trumped by better management of the footballing side of things. Look no further than Man United and their bumper 2023 EUR 746m revenue, 355m of which commercial. Arsenal for example have pissed all over them the last couple of seasons, despite having only just about half of Man Utd's commercial revenue (EUR 196m). As long as our owners invest in the right areas that for the most part are exempt of PSR, such as the academy, the best youth prospects and upgrading our training facilities, as well as continue to grow revenue at a higher rate than our competitors (a bigger stadium will help) we will eventually catch up. Personally I am still delighted about the trajectory of our club, and satisfied that it doesn't have the artificial feel too much of a PSG, Man City or Chelsea rise to the top merely by throwing money around. We are well managed, heading in the right direction and the owners have restored pride in our team after 14 years of purgatory - that is all I ever wanted and long may it last.

Right, but the likelihood of 14 clubs accepting a solution like this is much greater if the alternative is a free for all than if the alternative is the continuation of the current set of rules (which albeit deemed unlawful suited them fine).

So what happens if these are rejected assuming the old rules can't stay in place?

Jeez Kaiz mate, that must have been such a shock. Here’s hoping the treatment and pills make you feel better and you can make it over to one of these in the future. In the meantime, look after yourself and get well soon!
