It is unfortunately it seems to face widespread opposition, any notion of moving is shot down.

Exactly with related party transaction rules in place us being owner by PIF is heavily negated. What’s more as far as I’m aware the new squad cost rules have no provision for owner investment (it’s currently what? 33m per year? From a cursory glance it appears at minimum we are 200m per annum behind the smallest of the so so called big 6, and my question is where is that 200m per annum coming from? My guess would be smaller upticks in commercial revenue plus player sales. Our growth path will have to be organic due to the rules and this is extremely difficult as it will be extremely tough to be selling players whilst trying to become even more competitive. If someone has an alternative view I’d love to hear it. in addition this is all based upon those above us not growing, if they do we need to find more. To close the gap we have to outgrow them a ridiculously tough ask.

More. We need more.

They aren’t thick at all. They obviously lack some sense and experience but ultimately they are haphazardly building a high quality squad full of young talent. Some will work out some won’t but that’s the nature of football. the biggest risk they have is they are all youth no experience which will cause issues

I don’t think so. I think we would need the clause value at least. He’s got a long contract and they have form for paying out clauses.

Aye of course. Doesn’t mean he will come cheap.

Nah if Bruno wants to leave we will sell that I’ve got no doubt.

He’s meant to be really good but I think the challenge of the premier league for defenders means it can go either way. It they do get him it will be a big commitment in terms of both salary and fee they’d need him to come good. It’s also why those big clubs love Psr, they can take these really expensive gambles without a second though, because they generate so much revenue. The fact they’ve tied spending to previous success from a period of no regulation is really something, they pulled a master stroke whilst the others nodded it through.

The Liverpool lad is untouchable it seems as for Kilman I doubt it, I think he’s slight outside of the age group we are aiming for.

Unlikely, too expensive for us. Will be on a massive wage at Bayern.

This is a very pessimistic way of looking at it like. We probably have a list of players who we deem would fit and the first two are definitely on that list. As for the Italian if the rumours is coming from that side I wouldn’t put too much stock in it.

Romano said the same, less than 10m.

Matt Hughes from the sun saying less than 10m

Aye nothing will happen either don’t you worry. If we believe the reports they offered us 50m + Kellehar (who they value at 27m) so a package of 77m, our response was the offer wasn’t serious and this is when we were separate. TLDR Gordon is too expensive to buy for other clubs.

You don’t spend 45n on a 22 year old to give out 3.5 year deals it will be 4.5 at least with 5.5 being the most likely.

Yeah but the Northumbria FA only moved out last month, so I can’t knock them for not doing anything with they IF that is Indeed the plan

They practically all voted for it and it’s really good for the majority. Especially with the championship having similar rules. Basically everyone is looking over their should and not forwards, most clubs have done to accept the position they have and are happy to ride the gravy train. PSR is only an impediment to those wishing to challenge the established order and most of the league are quite content with how things are, that actually hasn’t changed.

The training ground issue only makes sense to me if the extra land we’ve nabbed off the Northumbrian FA is enough to build out a proper complex. If not then I find the delay baffling.

Putting your CFO hat on, and of course I know revenue generation wouldn’t be your wheelhouse but what do you anticipate the plan is to catch the big 6’s financials?

Given your lack of posts recently I’d argue your worst you read all of the shit and don’t even input that much recently

Brother, we live on here of course we do

Aye, was carefully structured to avoid the last financial period.

Hope we can get some money for Wilson, Miggy Targett etc.

I forgot we hadn’t actually paid for this lad yet. so that’s about 60m left to spend?
