Nailed it

That's ridiculous- Football is just rotten to the core

Weren't City after Diogo Costa?

Would depend how much £££ they throw at him - when it is generational money it's hard to turn down. I will be fuming if this has any truth in it especially as it's a PIF owned club.

Dude from the Athletic says otherwise..

Fair comment

Noooooo

It's fine - Popes got us covered..

They could just try for Rodrygo - seem to have a bottomless pit of cash

Gordon bid incoming?

City getting a £1 billion sponsorship deal being point in case - how can you possibly compete with that? It feels like they are playing Football Manager with the cheat code - just able to buy / spend whatever they want.

So Isak didn't go back to Newcastle then - I will take that as a +ve

It is too much tbf as he's totally unproven - Pedro would have been better value at £60mil

Isn't that what we supposedly offered? So it's the add ons which take it to £80 mil +? Sky saying Liverpool is his 'preferred' destination - as opposed to 'only Liverpool'. I think that's a fairer reflection.

The model they work to in PIF may work for businesses in general but it is not fit for purpose for a football club. Issue is who is going to tell them?

tbf we would have earned some TV money on top of that

Not sure how you can say we are a failed investment when Newcastle are already reported to be worth £1 Billion? I would say that's already a pretty healthy return on their investment. https://onefootball.com/en/news/newcastle-united-now-valued-at-more-than-1billion-report-39824534

Should ban posting Romano tweets unless it's a player we are signing

That is fair - I guess what we don't know is how much influence he has to make decisions - as it feels everything needs to be run past the board.

100%

It's 100% down to Eales - wasn't his biggest selling point him building Atlanta from scratch - anyone know what he has achieved in this time here?
