While that's true, I'm sure he'd still be at the match even if he wasn't getting £2m a year. here's not really a way around it.

Well the reality isn't so black and white, we've managed to comply without selling a star. It's odd if that is considered a negative. Admittedly the way we managed it was chaotic. Of course we need to buy some players and sell them on, but you could argue that's what Minteh was bought for.

Has the feeling of a disastrous appointment, have to say. Even though I'm sure technically he's a good manager.

SJP would've been surrounded by an angry mob if we'd sold Bruno to keep Anderson and a player most fans have never seen

I am surprised they’re not giving it to Carsley, big change in strategy to go for a big name club manager.

If there’s one person I trust, it’s Ted Knutson.

Why?

All of the ones with tartan on them.

That’s offensively bad

Yeah, like I've said before, a company with a directing mind and a strategy would probably just welcome whatever money came in so it could become the best sports league of all time. Sadly the PL is a members club and all the members have their own reasons for wanting to stop some of that investment.

Guess the idea of loans from owners is that you never have to pay them back, isn't it? Or practically never...not until the club is sold again.

Why do you say he’s perfect for the England job?

Yeah, should be insta dropped if he’s actually said that.

But we don’t live in that universe.

Just like to add that I’m happy that the captaincy has gone to Shak, he’s a refreshing addition to the leadership group and nothing has really changed as regards my role. Any suggestion of demotion or being ‘snubbed’ is simply uninformed speculation. Allez les blancs.

It’s so-so.

Why would he think he’s likely to be sacked FFS? I really need to stop coming in here.

Thought they might have learned their lesson about spaffing off rules on the fly.

Have England ever poached a top manager while he was having a successful career at a PL (or any top) club? Like we say every time, it’s not a job for those managers.

What are you talking about?

Happy that the Howe thing doesn’t need to be discussed again. Not sure Tuchel will be very good with England mind.

Which we aren’t, you cheeky bastard.

A summer after he’d been sacked by Newcastle maybe.

It doesn't matter how much it will cost them, he's not going to England.

21 and 18 feels a non story to me like.
