Don’t even think it’s about facilities for me though it’d be great to have better brighter concourses with local products being served. The main issue is the poor design of level 7, its poor sight lines and feeling of detachment from the atmosphere. I’m not greatly impressed by the latest Anfield Road expansion, but the extra tier added at least looks part of the stadium.

Spot on they’ll be voting with the 6 on everything as they’ll have no other ambitions other than profit.

Which shows the folly of signing Barnes, i would move Gordon to the right and utilise Isak,Anderson and Barnes on the left. The unknown is also Minteh if he impresses in pre-season.

Sesko, Hincapie and Scalvini/Diomande would be my 3 big signings this summer if we could stretch to it. Think the back line needs seriously upgraded and we won’t have funds to strengthen every area required. Tonali and Joelinton hopefully back to strengthen midfield and still don’t think we’ve got the best out of Isak. I would start utilising Isak on the left, or in a 4-2-3-1 to get the best out of him and signing Sesko would give us that option. Would love a keeper and another creative midfielder/wide right attacker, but think defence is now priority unfortunately.

With Tonali coming back in the summer at this point I’d blow the whole budget on LB, CB and right forward. Without Botman think the whole team will be built on quick sand next season without serious investment in the back line.

Fucking just send a message that means business 70k new super stadium on Castle Leazes, let the top 6 shit themselves when they see it and try to rush in new rules to incorporate stadium expansion in expenditure.

Semih Kilicsoy young Turkish wonder kid and apparently we’ve scouted him. Would fit the profile of a young striker to backup Isak.

Howe will be here next season even if we don’t win another game this season. It’s to be hoped everyone comes back re-charged and with a slightly refined playing style. I don’t think even without European football we can repeat the high intensity pressing of last season again, without the knock on impact of fatigue and injuries blighting us again. Howe needs to replace some of the less technically gifted players like Burn, Longstaff and Almiron with players who are good on the ball. Pressing has its place but we need to be able to control games so where not playing like that every week. Massive summer ahead and needs to show he has vision in transfer market to take us to next level.

Never been as disinterested in an FA Cup QF it’s fucking dismal.

Seems like City haven’t sold out for tonight, pretty poor show for an FA Cup QF and 8k aways supporters.

Hopefully the 8k there just have a good day out in Manchester, get pissed and sing their fucking hearts out win, or lose.

Unlikely I agree unless Joelinton doesn’t sign a new contract. Still think we’ll get a few off the wage bill this summer if where ruthless.

At this point I’d be fucking over the moon with Diomande, Mamardashvili, Ederson, Gibbs-White and a young striker. We’d be a left back short but surely they’ll have shown Hall how to defend by next season.

Watch out for random manc twats fleecing you, would park in city centre.

Apart from FMV haven’t we voted with all these changes ? I would imagine that wouldn’t help us with any legal challenge, which makes me think at this point we have no intention unfortunately.

I’d imagine we’ll hear something soon on the training ground. This season has been anti climatic after the CL exit, but who knows win tomorrow and the city goes into a cup frenzy and 40k will be planning another weekend in the smoke. The summer will see a new DOF, new signings, opening of new stack and adidas launch. There building slowly and sustainably don’t think we can grumble to much.

You’d be surprised was on the yacht when Staveley convinced them to buy NUFC.

Doesn’t come across bad on that podcast, talks some good sense in relation to Howe and tactics.

Take the ITK stuff away he actually talks some sense in relation to team and tactics, don’t mind the kid to be honest.

Watched a podcast last night and it was rumoured that feasibility study has said 6k more seats possible. If that was the case and I would imagine the costs would be astronomical, surely at this point a new stadium is the option. If we can’t even get above 60k and I’d guess a big proportion of the 6k seats would be corporate, it just seems pointless staying at SJP, as any development wouldn’t be transformative in terms of finances, or letting more fans see the team.

I’d like to say table 9 must be east standers, but reading some of that lot the whole support is fucked, just give it up lads and find a new past time would be my advice.

Anyone suggested foam hands and rattles ?

Watching tonight I fail to see what someone like Onana would really add, where crying out for quality on the ball.

@Heron it’s simple for me only a designated area of at least 3k clearly advertised as a singing enclosure can save the atmosphere. This has to be aligned with members being able to choose their own seats to sit with pals. An area for fans under 25 would also be welcome.
