Rings true for Legoheed.

Double up this week or week 37? 13 games in each.

Joel Bland needs shooting into the sun with a cannon, the worthless shithouse.

Coe in their pocket. City’s ground is world class and has had public funding. Nothing further required for Manchester, thanks.

Bent American bastards and European old money clubs want to create a glass ceiling to protect profits and their seat at the top table from potential usurpers. They are close to implementing their master plan.

Would literally commit murder for C.

Nope.

Monster. What did you end up getting?

https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-takeover-moves-step-closer-29003060.amp American investment firm 777 Partners have moved a step closer to completing a takeover of Everton after an extension was granted to pay a loan back to a major club creditor. A deadline of midnight tonight EST (5am UK time) had been looming, with the repayment of a £158m loan to MSP Sports Capital one of the four conditions set out by the Premier League as part of its conditional approval for the Miami-based firm to complete its acquisition of the club. Sources have informed the ECHO that an agreement in principle has been reached between 777 Partners and MSP to allow 777 to settle the loan which Farhad Moshiri had taken out with New York-based MSP to help fund construction of the new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock. While the exact details of the agreement are not known, the extension is understood to be ‘weeks not months’, with 777 confident of meeting the requirements set out by the Premier League as part of its owners and directors test. Last month the Premier League informed 777 Partners that they would only be granted approval to acquire Moshiri’s 94.1% shareholding and take control of Everton, a deal agreed some seven months ago, if they could meet four criteria. They are: that 777 loans to the club have to be converted into equity; funds are required in an escrow account to meet financial obligations for the remainder of the season; proof of funding for the new stadium completion; and a £158m loan to be repaid to MSP.

Does it do his chances of a summer move? Regardless not sure he’d want to leave Bologna for a Brentford when the former will be in the UCL.

What better way to celebrate your 6-0 win then to sign two players on 8 year deals up for another year: Chelsea have triggered contract extensions for Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez and Ukraine winger Mykhailo Mudryk, with both 23-year-olds having another year added to what were already long-term deals. (Sun)

Chelsea have a fucker of a run - City cup game, Arsenal, Villa, Spurs - as their next four games. Also Brighton and Bournemouth. So them breaking Everton is no bad thing.

Fan of the club who is the greatest beneficiary from the rule tells you it’s good.

Article reads there are two potential options before we get to administration but…

Is administration still an automatic 9 point deduction?

Ooooooooooh cat amongst the motherfucking pigeons if true.

That’s my vote and shortlist. Feels horrible having to pick but those four have been a cut above.

Tosin has some heavy hitters after him.

Zero chance unless we sell one of the Crown Jewels of Isak, Gordon or Bruno. You lot can though.

Like all the Sinister 6 they’ve got hordes of wacky Twitter (Pessi/Penaldo types) or student/tourist plastics supporting them now. Spent years working in Manchester when City were on the rise 2010-2017 but the overriding feeling and perspective on the ground was there’s far more Man Utd fans, despite the old claim all Mancs were City fans and Man Utd were all out of town day trippers (‘taxi for London’ and all that).

Disappointing they’re not going to ride the Southgate Express.

Given Odd Todd has bought Pochettino about 167 players they can’t use fatigue as an excuse.
