Yes sir, actually the entire thing is just one big funnel to the top and nobody else is allowed to join the table, Sheik Mansour was the last person allowed to board that train.

Guys, please understand the PL shareholders are the club, masters is an employee of the PL, he does as he’s commanded by his masters. If he happens to leave nothing will change he has no real power.

This is pretty much where I am. Ultimately the other clubs are also pushing to increase revenue which is why during the Ashley years the a chasm opened between us and the big 6. So in order to progress we have to close the gap which is difficult because we are limited by FFP. We are not allowed to invest into the business because of the rules I know it’s repeated a lot but I truly can’t get over this. So basically we are left hoping for miracles, or we have to become the best traders in football to open up headroom, so when we sell a Bruno we need to find two more.

And this is the key point I’ve been driving at, we are about way off budget wise and in the league money wins every time, it’s why I’ve been wondering how they will square that circle

Btw, we’ve had great revenue growth since the takeover but over the next few years I expect them to slow a lot.

I know we all like Amanda and dislike Bruce but I imagine he will be on the phone to his lawyers given her comments about him

It’s likely the period when they were given 8 year contracts and stretching out the amortisation.

They only lost 90m quite remarkable lol.

Absolutely, having 4/5 wingers being right footed isn’t sensible.

We have been monitoring for 3 years like the good old days

Any source for that?

Your bang on, I was walking around the central business district here in SG yesterday lunch time thinking damn, I’m surrounded by rich people really makes a mockery of the UK where in most places you think, damn why is everyone so poor.

Cracking post thank you for taking the time. Sign me up for the summer transfer rumours thread

Stif man, reality check nobody is going to watch a league featuring us Villa and Everton. Of all the scenarios people come a breakaway domestic league is the most fanciful.

This also isn’t going to happen, the super league is dead in this country, the fan revolt from a breakaway of the premier league would make the super league one look like a toddlers tantrum before nap time.

They can’t own the league though, well they can be in order to do so they would have to own all of the clubs in the league and that just isn’t going to happen.

Love it thanks for sharing. So given the above, what would you expect to see happen in the summer in terms of sales and purchase? What kind of net spend would you project given the very limited information at hand.

From what you’ve seen how much of a FFP hole are we in?

That would make zero sense for us, you’d imagine that new contract at Arsenal would been significant and to get him here would be expensive in both wages and transfer fee.

It’s full on cope tbh, and I don’t mean it disrespectfully either. As requested, if you can provide something concrete to disprove what I’m saying is genuinely love to hear it. Your argument above is basically don’t let your mind limit what you believe.

You are absolutely right we don’t, but then it makes what we were told a lie. And even then, if they want the club to be increase in value it will need to have a modicum of success, if not other clubs may look like better deals. and I echo your sentiment on the stadium, but it seems staying at Sjp is the majorities favourite option so in that regard you can say we are holding ourselves back.

I can see why your drawing the parallel but I think they cases are different, the PGA/LIV GOLF is more the equivalent of them buying the whole premier league, to be very frank, the league doesn’t need us or the PIF yet we need the league. Also, all indications so far are we are going to abide by the rules as the club have stated a million times.

This is the only way I see as well, but I don’t see us doing it someone else might sure, but in reality I don’t think they will. Most likely candidates are forest and Villa imo. it won’t be us, and it won’t be city.

And btw, if I’m off the mark please do let me know? Maybe I’m wrong and we can compete with 7th highest budget for major honours? Or maybe I’m being pessimistic and we can bridge that 400m revenue gap to city? I’d genuinely love to know how we get there.
