So why do we bother getting commercial deals and sponsors etc? PIF could just allocate us a billion. Oh, you mean they can plough money in but it doesn't count as revenue, got ya.

Well not entirely is it? Because income is limited by related party and fair market rules. If the owners could plough in as much cash as they wanted, we wouldn't be talking about finance at all, would we?

Is bigger investment allowed to come in? Guess so if it's for things like training ground and stadium?

Maybe not but I was asking about how it would cause her to sell.

I don't fully understand how this works, each shareholder has to invest relative to their percentage? Couldn't they just let her off her bit if she can't afford it?

I don’t understand.

Maybe they mean he's not going to be a success anymore? BTW fair play to anyone who can actually find the content on the Chronicle website.

He's not RW though is he?

Is Philogene different from Philogene Bidace? Also thought he already played for Villa. I'm confused

I was talking about someone who has won things and who can help us through difficult times etc really, rather than just age.

I think we'd up there with the same squad and less injuries TBH, but obviously we will do a lot more than that.

Only own astro boots now, can't imagine wearing proper boots ever again. Had the same pair of Nike Magista X for about 8 years, love them.

Ugarte and Lisandro is rock hard like.

Used to sign Jonathan David on FIFA about 4 years ago, feels like a link from the past although he's only 24.

I think Barnes potentially has the tools to be a striker but obviously we haven't seen it.

Same, I don't care for the rumours but I like the deals done.

Jesus

Elanga would be a good squad player but a massive let down as the first choice.

I always imagine there’s a third Dimbleby brother they keep in an attic. Gummo Dimbleby.

Bide your time for 3 years and come out all guns blazing for Miggy FWIW he's absolutely right that we shouldn't be sentimental in moving these players on, and I'm sure we won't be. But that doesn't mean we need to forget their good points.

After a quick Dennis Wise scout, would sign.

You're an absolute bum.

Haven’t we signed Kelly?

I've always said, it feels like something as subjective as fair market value is an absolutely crazy thing to try to assess. If Man City shirts are worth £60m, who is to say if ours are worth £60, 50 or 40? Makes no sense. You could say "Hmm, that looks a bit expensive" but I don't feel like you can say it's unfair with enough certainty to fine people and dock them points.
