That sponsorships are being held up by the Premier League (and largely at the behest of Arse/Pool/Man U) wouldn't surprise me at all.

Rumours were correct last time, so...expect only change to be Mainoo for Gallagher tomorrow. Likely means Gordon benched until at least the 70th minute.

As already mentioned in this thread, it would go some way to explaining why investment in infrastructures seems to have halted, and no more progress with sponsorship opportunities. PIF have been successfully slapped down by the Premier League and superleague six.

Well, it has surely dawned on them that they can't realise their ambitions with the club. If we're forced to sell Gordon, think that firmly establishes that 5-7th will be the typical ceiling for us and pretty much every other non-cartel club.

We certainly need some cover for centre back with Botman and Lacelles not back till December at the earliest. And it seems probable we'll have to raise £30m+ to avoid points deductions. Otherwise, would probably be happy with no other activity at this point.

Don't be ridiculous He'll be back November at the earliest. Likewise Lascelles. If PSR allows us one quality signing (£40m plus bracket) this summer, it'll have to be a centre back.

If Isak is keen for the move, can see us accepting £100-120m. Howe won't want a player who wants away in the squad.

Our PSR situation must be pretty dire if this is being considered. Would rather cash in on one player (except Isak/Gordon/Bruno) to avoid a points deduction and keep Minteh. Maybe another centre back on a loan/free. That would be it for the summer.

Gordon on the front page of The Times sport today, and both main writers demanding he starts.

If Man U hadn't been absolute sly fuckers, made a proper approach rather than an illegal one, and hadn't gobbed off to the media, and hadn't offered a fee lower than what we paid Brighton, we'd have probably settled on a more reasonable fee and business would be done be now. But no, they acted like total bellends. Hope we keep demanding £20m and keep him on gardening leave for as long as possible. A good chunk of fans on Red Cafe still can't seem to comprehend why it's come to this.

He would be perfect for England. When his teams score, he want them to keep pushing immediately for another and another.

Was gutted that I was to be stuck at work for the entirety of the match. What a blessing that turned out to be!

If TAA didn't play for Liverpool, would he even be in this team? I'm not so sure.

Southgate will be too cowardly to make changes until the 75th minute. Even then too afraid to take of Foden or upset one of his stars.

Fuck this shit. Bring on the Premier League season.

5 Live just said it themselves. We score, Southgate has everyone in retreat to protect lead. Fucking pathetic.

Diabolical. Better double down on getting 11 men around the box....

Get in there

We've already spent £28m on Lewis Hall this summer. That's a hefty sum if we're under heavy PSR restrictions. Unless we cash in £20-30m from our squad, that could be our biggest piece of business, with any other incomers on a free or loan.

Hopefully October to December is kind whilst we wait for Isak, Miley, Barnes, Longstaff, Livramento and Joe to return from injury.

Disappointed no one values him at £100m+ tbh

It's not working well with Trippier. It's killing that left hand side not having a natural left footer.

Back to a typical Southgate set up ffs.

Oh look, our c*ntish fans booing

Finding it hard to ignore that the like of TAA play for the superleague cartel, and should they excel, it will also be to the benefit of said clubs. Almost want TAA and Maino to embarrass themselves.
