Financial Fair Play / Profit & Sustainability

Reminds me of when i was teaching Saudi students at the Defence College of Aeronautical Engineering (ooh get me, trust me not as grandiose as it sounds) One of our civilian instructors kept using manyana, to describe when theyd get some information. One of the Suadi students asked him to explain what that meant, he obliged, they then exclaimed "that will be why we don't understand, there is no word for such haste in our language" -
Definitely my recollection of the chat at the time too as it did look shit without at least a number

I think Arsenal have to have an honest look at where they are too tbh, they have won exactly the same as us post takeover and are looking miles off it this season. I doubt Isak is overjoyed at the idea of being the new Peter Crouch in Arteta's expensive version of Pulis' Stoke

I think we are getting to the point where Alex Murphy etc should be getting minutes if they’re ever going to be good enough -
To be fair a while back I’d imagine Chelsea fans were thinking Reece James and Ben Chilwell were going to be England's full back pairing for the next decade too.

This 👆 You definitely don’t want to go drinking with any Armed Forces lot, if you consider spewing mid night out is horrifically unprofessional and shocking. I was still doing that way beyond the age of 34. Might've been dared to drink someone else's for a shiny liney pound too

Can't imagine how this place would've coped with Julies back in the '90's

Step away man, he's this forum's Simon Jordan. Less coherence than a pissed Rory Jennings

How does the ad tagline go again "should’ve gone to Specsavers", I mean I know this place is prone to the odd bit of hyperbole, but fuck me this is right up there.

I may be in the minority I accept, but he does nothing that Schar doesn’t for us. He plays accurate long balls in behind for fast wide forwards to exploit. The big glaring issue with this at international level is that space doesn’t exist, as no international teams press and squeeze the pitch, like some PL teams do.

They might do, but surely those who seemingly wish to form a European Super League must notice how the recent change to the CL format has diminished the excitement and wonder if we did this would we be slaying the Golden Goose -
Did autocorrectr remove the lifting?

That wasn’t a loan from the owners to the club though. That was a loan between owners to maintain shareholdings. They aren’t the same thing being discussed here. As highlighted elsewhere NUFC as an entity currently have no interest free loans from owners -

They also ruled the onus to prove a deal is fair shouldn’t lie with the clubs themselves and that not disclosing the figures other clubs have for similar deals is in of itself anti-competitive -
Remember a game just over a year ago against PSG? Ring any bells? Are they just a poor, lower half PL side?
-
So he conceded 3 😳

I think they’ll be happy to extend it to any club that sells a metric fuck ton of merch, I think ourselves and Celtic fall into that category
-
So an improvement of one point on last year then 🤷🏻♂️

Erm if it were so unenforceable why have they not been legally challenged Ala Bosman then? There have been multiple high profile cases of players being refused high profile transfers etc, if it were so obviously deemed unenforceable by law then I'm pretty sure it would have already been proven so before now. -

A lot of high tech/High skill industries have similar circumstances. Oil and gas and Aviation regularly had really punitive bond schemes if the companies paid for training etc. it’s not as uncommon as you might think, not to the extent of footballers transfer fees no, but beyond the means of the worker involved -
This I have no doubt that either Keegan or SBR would’ve found a way to maximise his impact, because players who could do what he could are really few and far between

Nah fuck the lipless twat, history constantly gets rewritten regarding Hatem, he was kept out of the side by Squidward who was terrified of the ball.

They had big units in their own box and we didn’t have much of an aerial threat, probably the thought was to try and lure them out and create space in behind. They sadly were diligent in keeping their shape though, which meant it didn’t work
