Bro, stop it. the third party payments were proven by Uefa (you got off on a fine bar, a technicality). as for the shell company sponsors, that’s also known and been proven. Don’t get me wrong, I think FFP is a protection racket and any club outside the those old big clubs were absolutely mugs for voting for it.

Absolutely, those clubs fans just want a closed shop. If we are going to have these rules let’s make them fair and competitive. Let’s calculate how much every club has spent Adjust for football inflation and set the budgets based off that. It’s ridiculous clubs could attain a position based off spending prior to said rules. Let’s give everyone the same opportunity and see how things pan out.

Why? You lot are guilty of those charges though.

If the premier league wants to continue with the farce which is FFP they had literally zero choice but to throw the book and the same will be the case for any other clubs they breach it. Ultimately, these rules are what these mugs all voted for.

Makes perfect sense, take him to court to recoup the cost, they recoup that money it reduces the loss, they didn’t so can’t argue the hit they took.

Time to open the cheque book, the precedent has been set, fffp can be ignored.

What questions do you want to ask? Eddie has transformed us in the same way KK did and the same way SBR did. No questions to ask this season imo.

He’s not under any pressure, it’s complete babble.

Cash only broke boys.

Must be, dubious logic but that makes the most sense.

Why?

Cities revenue is 700m according the latest accounts.

He is, but he turned down Villa also. Very difficult to prize clubs from Athletic. Also it’s rumoured Barca want him.

Just loans if it passes aye, it would be subject to fair market value tests if it’s permanent though (and the Ineos deal actually goes through).

Nah, I don’t think so. He wouldn’t overly suit our style of play imo. Also not getting any younger and our average age is on the higher side already.

It’s a very sample size, and very system dependent. but as you mentioned, the odd comparison drawn makes my point moot.

Your right, a handful of irrelevant games not even worthy of mention.

Philips being better than rice is an absolutely mental take btw

Radio silence on this front, we were looking for land 18 months ago, not sure if we’ve acquired any yet.

I mean yes, but we are unable to right? We have so many injuries so we can’t rotate, we can’t rotate means everyone is knackered. It’s a vicious cycle. We have an unprecedented (for us) crisis in terms of player availability, given this it’s extremely difficult to draw any conclusions. This factor has basically made me reevaluate my expectations in terms of both performance and league placement. I’ll be over the moon if we can get back into Europe next season. it’s simply not possible to compete at the same level as we did last season with the extra games we have and the amount of players we have unavailable.

More technical players will come in time; we need technical players who can play at our intensity level.

We have more unavailable players than you and a smaller squad.

And I’m sorry to be clear, all of our players should be instructed to withdraw from the international, no if buts or exceptions.

Can we sub Ritchie, offers nothing at this level.
