What makes everyone think we will get Olisse. Chelsea are after him and so are Man Utd. I believe he is a Man Utd fan. We won’t be able to offer bigger wages than Chelsea either.

Not sure some people on here have quite grasped the whole FFP thing yet. Would I want to sell Minteh? Absolutely not in an ideal world where you can spend what you want but we are not in that world. would people rather sell Bruno? Minteh unfortunately is a saleable asset. The likes of Wilson, Miggy, Longstaff, Targett etc clubs know we want rid of them but those clubs will try and get a cheap deal and these sales will take ages. FFP is shit but it isn’t the clubs fault it’s the corrupt Premier league and the clubs like Man Utd, Spurs, Arsenal,Liverpool who dont want challengers to their top 6 or 4 ambitions. And then you have the clubs happy to sell players and get a cheap frill with never being close to PSR like Brighton and Palace who are the so called big clubs lap dogs. The Premier league is fucked as you have too many teams looking after their own ambitions or lack of.

They are opening a JD sport in Saudi

It isn’t PIF though and they are just becoming a major sponsor not purchasing the Falcons.

Centre half will get the line moving up for offsides by shouting ‘Are you gonna go my way’

Who is working at Asda????

I thought the money from the Australia games now covered that?

If he was a girl he would be ‘livin’ in a lonely world getting a midnight train goin anywhere

Sure I read recently that for this Australia trip we are getting 2.5 million, which is what we are short on PSR for this calendar year. If that’s right but if a coincidence they have offered 2.5 million no more. It’s and someone has been giving them information about our financial situation ?

Also if they are taking the piss out of our owners they should tell the Saudi cubs don’t buy their shite to help them with PSR

Sounds like Man Utd have been taken over by Scrooge McDuck ?

They offered 2.5 million cheeky fuckers

An email that Dan Ashworth sent to himself about being approached by Manchester United could be crucial in the forthcoming arbitration against his former club Newcastle United. Ashworth, who is still being paid his salary of more than £1 million a year by Newcastle despite being on gardening leave for three months, emailed the incoming Manchester United chief executive, Omar Berrada, making it clear that he wanted to accept an offer to become the club’s sporting director after the pair had held a conversation in early February. In doing so, he sent a blind copy to his own Newcastle email address. Club staff were therefore aware of that message when Ashworth, their sporting director at the time, revealed to them that he wanted to talk to officials at Old Trafford about taking up a post there. The email sent to Berrada by Ashworth also went to the sporting director’s Newcastle address PA The Premier League’s rules state that each club and director should behave towards each other with the “utmost good faith” and it could be a breach if they were to “act dishonestly towards another club or engage in conduct that is intended to circumvent these rules”. It is felt this information could now be crucial in swinging the pendulum in favour of Newcastle before the arbitration that Ashworth and Manchester United hoped would help to facilitate his move to the club. It had been due to start at the end of this month. The Times can reveal that Manchester United have so far offered about £2.5million to end the 53-year-old’s gardening leave and allow him to begin his new job this summer but the clubs remain some distance apart. That is less than Newcastle paid Brighton & Hove Albion when they took him to St James’ Park in June 2022. It is thought that Ashworth disclosed details to Berrada, who is also on gardening leave and will begin his position at Old Trafford after a move from Manchester City on July 13, of the agreement that took him to Newcastle. That could be a breach of confidentiality. Ashworth’s gardening leave in his contract with Newcastle is due to run until October next year. Newcastle are still open to negotiation to end the impasse but want a figure of about £10 million. Newcastle’s desire is for the figure to reflect Ashworth’s worth, what the club paid Brighton and also what he has received in salary and bonuses since taking up his position at St James’ Park. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Manchester United’s new minority shareholder, was critical of Newcastle’s stance in February. He said then: “I think it’s a bit silly, personally. What I do think is completely absurd is suggesting a man who is really good at his job sits in his garden for 1½ years.” Manchester United declined to comment on the story.

Aye the youngest

Absolutely not, all hardcore Newcastle fans now wash your mouth out with soap and water ?

Fair enough then sorry. I know his Dad and him well probably being too over protective ?

It’s a tattoo with a picture of him playing football with his brothers on the beach at the bottom you fucking melts. fucking state of some of the replies on here

This whole anchoring doesn’t make any sense to me as to why clubs have gone for it other than stopping City, Man Utd, Chelsea spending loads of money. It still allows them to spend much more than any other club. There must be more to it that we are missing.

That Kieran Maguire was on Talk Sport today and said anchoring would allow clubs like Villa and Newcastle to go for it. Also if you over spend in Europe you just get a fine now don’t you?

The current rules include all costs these are only player wages and transfer fees so is this not better for us? Ever so slightly anyway

Longstaff has had 2 good seasons one under Benitez and then last season. He is a decent premier league midfielder but that is it decent. he never puts a foot in and falls over so easily when tackled. He runs round like a headless chicken not really achieving much. from a FFP prospective he is a ideal player to sell but I doubt that will happen as I’m not sure many clubs will want him.

You were sent that ?

Has to be a wind up

I was sent this team seems a mental line up Dubravka Murphy Lascelles Schar Botman Burn Willock Longstaff Bruno Isak Gordon

I am honestly gob smacked at some of the takes on here. The weak chain currently in midfield is Longstaff. Honestly watch him in a game closely. He constantly looses out in 50/50 challenges as he doesn’t seem to want to put his foot in. If he gets even the slightest of touches he goes down rolling around as if he has been shot which generally means the opposition team then attack us as he has left massive space. For a 17 year old he already for me looks better in midfield than Longstaff. Does he need a rest yes but he should be in ahead of Longstaff all day long
