Nobody

Fucking hate journalists use of emojis in their tweets, seem like they think it makes them more reliable if the add ✅ to it or something. Hope bloody loves doing it and all, the absolute rectangle that he is.

It's literally impossible, even without FFP, to "buy the league", like Chelsea and Man City did. If it was even remotely possible, Chelsea would have already done it tbh, and look at where they are now. Even just imagining if PIF had free range when they came in to spend whatever they wanted, I still don't think we would be anywhere close to winning the league.

What are the other 30% supposed to go to that you're not allowed to spend on transfers/wages? Just banked by the owners or something?

I said this about 6 years ago about him

Yeah but they were brought back too early/over played because we've had a massive injury crisis though. It's not even a chicken/egg situation, because he has had to gamble to even field a functioning starting eleven. When was the last time we had anything resambling a bench that was fit for purpose? The fuck is he supposed to do like?

What a joke

The vote on the loan player thing was the most ridiculous thing ever.

How the fuck is that a free kick for Rashford?

He really isn't, absolutely incredible player. Pep seems to have a massive love/hate relationship with him though

I mean, that's what they do literally every game.

Sick of seeing our bench so fucking shit like

Last time I was at a game at SJP ffs

The source is solid, Expressen wouldn't mention us if they didn't know we were in for him. The wording in the article is incredibly vague though, basically just saying we're one of the four clubs that has put a concrete bid in with the club and player. @AlanSkÃrare is a writer for that paper, and arguably one of our best football journalists in Sweden (that's not just coming from me mate btw), so maybe he knows more. I would say it's not even worth getting excited about at this stage though.

I don't watch a lot of Swedish football not involving my team, AIK. Only time I watch that lot is when we play them, and I'm usually not sober enough to pay attention to their players and we usually batteri then as well. I know he's highly rated, and their DOF is talking him up as a huge sale, but tbh I rather we didn't give them cunts any money.

That is fucking adorable man

Our highest paid director is only on 7k this year apparently (down 99% from last season), so if anything that would being the average down. Does sound like an awful lot like, wonder if it includes signing on bonuses perhaps? Last season we paid off a lot of erroneous wages in our books as well.

Guessing it would be a minefield deciding who can afford what. FFP is absolutely shite like, but at the same time Im happy there are regulations stopping another PSG, because a) Fuck PSG and everything that loathesum club has done since their takeover and b) I massively doubt these last 18 months would have been anywhere near as good if we went out and splashed out on Mbappe and the likes while in the relegation zone in our first transfer window. Doing it (somewhat) organically has been so great for us, having Dan Burn scoring in a semi final probably doesn't happen without FFP Tbf. However, now it's getting annoying how much it's crippling us. Like not being allowed to replace Tonali in January because of something he did before coming here feels wrong for us.

Not like they didn't have previous with replacing Carroll with free transfer Ba (which luckily turned into our best striker since Shearer). That Cabaye sale though, arguably one of the worst pieces of business under Ashley. At the time, PSG were spending like it was going out of fashion and Cabaye was one of the most sought-after CMs in the league and they let him go for like £20m. Should have been at least double, probably even closer to triple if we would have been a club with any sort of ambition.

Aye, its literally counter productive to what football is about as well. Got a young local lad thats doing well? Well you're better off selling him and buy a merchant from abroad ror the same money. How does that even remotely make sense? Plenty of things wrong with FFP, but Id get rid of amortisation completely and have it just be straight up transfer fees. Maybe give more leeway the more academy players youve got in your 25 man squad as well.

Stay off crack, kids.

Fucking howay man Just be honest, it was a pathetic dive made even more pathetic due to the opposition. Look in the Almiron thread if you want to see what we think about our players diving, it's certainly not encouraged.

Wouldn't mind seeing a Mcmanaman special against Fernandes after that dive like

Be shocked if we dont get Liverpool like.

Fuck off Barton you absolute prick
