Is it still the case that any cost of ground expansion can exclusive of day to day operating costs and FFP regulations? i.e. Owners just can plough in £150 million or whatever it costs without affecting team budget. I know UEFA were proposing to include capital spend in FFP, so £150m on ground would result in £150m less on squad.

Fuck. We're gonna get annihilated

We seem so bad with set pieces and balls over

I've had two cup final dreams this week. Games were 2-2 and then 3-3 as we reached 90 minutes. Proud of the team, but think we'll lose by a couple of goals today.

Just seen that stud to knee challenge in the Man U game. How the fuck is that not a red if Bruno's was?

Put our chances at 45/55 in Man U's favour when we beat Southampton, but looking more like 20/80 now. It's sickening that our form has collapsed whilst Man U are on fire. Could easily see 3-0.

Likely we'll lose with our respective trajectories, but at least it's not against the scouse tramps I suppose

This is like a living nightmare. Didn't think we'd win, but losing Pope and Dubravka cup tied is a disaster. Dreading next weekend.

Not feeling it for today. Think those shits will get a result.

0-2. Sorry

Fuck sake. Could be another 99 cuo final against this lot if we don't rediscover our energy.

My god we're so bad in final third

Fuck sake. He just ran into Botman

Dreadful. Everyone looks fucking knackered

Fucking hell, is Isak our only fit striker now? With Wilson, wouldn't be surprised if it's 3-4 weeks out, so praying Isak doesn't pick up a knock.

Not much that hasn't already been said, but a Times article arguing the rules are essentially to protect the old guard. Mentions Newcastle a few times as well. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/yes-manchester-city-broke-the-rule-but-the-rules-protect-the-old-elite-ftr25q2lp

His regular job is probably with Dark Justice

Not sure we can laugh at the scousers so much now.

Think you should discount Isak - seems likely he'll have to be left out of squad.

Intentional or now, what a fucking tit. Took a real shine off the game that.

Good news - they've backtracked on the funds!

Rather Spurs top 4 than Liverpool. Klopp is a total bellend and the fans are insufferable on a massive scale.

So that's it then. Only hope for more capacity is moving the ground. Can't see how East stand can be extended, really. Ashley (mostly) and the council have utterly fucked the club over.

Guess money remains tight then. Be a pity if we miss out on top 4 due to a shallow squad.

Maybe PIF's ambitions don't car as far as manipulating FFP and boosting our coffers with connected sponsorships like City managed to do. Our turnover and commercial income remains mid-table level and miles off the big six. After spending relatively heavily last year, could it be our budget is very tight this January?
