Technically we did right? Until we got shot of Anderson and Minteh we were ready to let him go go for Gomez and cash we eventually pulled the plug.

The fact we are giving him a new contract after less than 25 good games kinda makes me thinking the contract expiry date of next summer 26 are true.

Lack of interest now aye, but back then after the season we finished 4th im sure we could have got some money for him.

I think the point being Wilson should have been moved on 12 months ago and we should have more quality up front in general.

Sodexo still hold that contract? Fucking hell some Ashley stuff is still ongoing.

The summer was an unmitigated disaster and despite that and all of the talk from all parties we are still none the wiser as to precisely why we left the supermarket empty handed.

I mean the pain can be managed by pumping him full of drugs, I’m not sure how you alleviate the lack of rest or he can maintain any sort of fitness without training.

Discussion in the match thread

Would love to know how you manage a broken toe.

Aye, I don’t think so although the club and transparency with injuries means we might never know.

@HaydnNUFC

Which is the concern right? 5 games in and potentially making the same mistakes as we did last season. (Botman playing with a potential ACL ffs).

Players generally don’t play with broken toes do they?

Isak has a broke toe ffs? Was this the case before Fulham?

Your definitely the type to wear all of this at once anarl.

Again, the league is made up of the clubs who decide collectively and the league proceeds to enforce it. It’s strictly business for these people hence the lack of punishment for clubs who tried to double dip. The owners know they earn more money keeping Liverpool and Man United happy than the what they would earn if they somehow left hence the current situation. Basically big money ruined it.

All my anger is reserved for Paul Mitchell.

The strange thing about all of the issues the PL face is the clubs absolutely insist on having rules which tilt the scales. It’s very difficult to argue against rules which promote fairness and an level playing field.

Oh yeah, we have this to look forward to

Too many unknowns at this stage to say anything with any degree of confidence. That being said, the theory is PIF can pump money on via sponsorships without having to prove the value, due to the size of PIF nobody can match the muscle they have financially.

Are they? The PL as an organisation is just following through on the votes the member clubs have taken. Ultimately, the majority of the league voted for such silly rules.

Thats too much potential competition and these clubs do not want competition.

I understand, it’s hard for people to critique the folks the saved us from Ashley. I’m with them on that to an extent. problem is. It’s the owners that said these things unprompted so as fans it’s up to us to hold them accountable.

The goal for such a venture wouldn’t an immediate increase of pnl it’s about increasing the value of the club as a whole. And yes it’s a gamble but we won’t be “number 1” with our current facilities.
