They aren't. I mean obviously gift wrapping them goals doesn't help.

Well done trips.

These lot are nowhere near as crisp as they were.

They have two layers.

Chat GPT ball, boring as fuck.

Given we've been on our best behaviour this whole time I doubt we sue. As we don't appear to want to rock the boat our best hope is to be a mediator between the other clubs and city and be the party which pushes for consensus. Broker a compromise basically.

Hahaha What news to wake up to. It's important to remember this is all the cartels doing so they can get fucked. The PL used to pass rules based on every club agreeing, they've decided to piss that model away and go full protectionism of the rich. People shit on city but city were fine with rules which restrained them for years it's only when the PL started taking the piss they got clapped.

You say that about Dubs but it's pretty difficult to argue how well he's done this season. The age profile is a massive issue but I wouldn't be surprised if the club kicked the can for another year.

OR Eddie is happy with the current situation.

It never was about this, the fourth estate did a fantastic job of selling it.

Correct, extremely difficult for these rules to be removed by consent. Only a legal challenge will do it.

No, we can't afford the wages these guys are paid and that's taking such a bad idea seriously.

The issue isn't renewing him, the issue is believing he will be fit or offer depth when his injury record clear shows this isn't something he can provide. If we keep him and get someone else in it's totally fine and opens up an opportunity to loan Orsula. If we keep and don't bring someone in and expect him to fulfil the role of a rotation player we are asking for it.

I don't they can avoid this so easily. The cartel want blood.

Should we qualify for Europe we need a second striker who can play and play a lot. We've seen what happens when we don't have this. Renewing Wilson makes zero sense, his availability means he barely qualifies as a body

Do these people understand we have absolutely no need to sell. One of them laughed at 150m but why on earth would we sell for less? The media are totally delusional.

No, just no. He can't be a back up if he's never fit.

No idea who this guy is but branks you just made me day

The one problem I do detect is they will be downbeat and say we've got nought to spend in the summer as well. It's one of situations whereby no matter what they say at this stage it's going to be deemed as wrong/negative.

I think they should, because you know the moment we lose a couple of games on the spin some fans will be calling for various heads to roll.

The last one is the issue I take. So why don't we have an allowance of 1,3b to level the playing field? It makes no sense this isn't a thing. When you adjust for inflation it's an absolute joke these rules exist.

Ratface is right on that point, all these rules hurt us internationally. Real Madrid are top dogs worldwide.

It's problematic in terms of if everyone can spend 500m per year but they don't have the revenue to back it up then who covers the gap? It would give credence to the patiently false original intent which was to protect clubs.

Anchoring won't run alone, it will be anchoring plus squad cost it's just anchoring is the upper limit.

Yes because both of them combined net out to be a positive. Squad cost without anchoring is worst for us than the current system however we need all the details.
