What makes it the right thing, in your opinion?

Nah, they'll just spin it and try and take as much credit for it as they can get away with

Who was it a while back basically asking the Saudi's for handouts, was it the council? Regardless, I remember thinking at the time that on the surface it wasn't a great look but really if we hadn't been neglected by one government after the other then they wouldn't have to.

Personally, I'd say if he's fit he starts, if he's not then why put him on the bench?

So just under £140m of that valuation is based on the entire squad? What are these hypothetical new owners going to do, sell everyone and play Darren from the Working Men's Club up-front? Yes, players have "value" but you can only realise that value in cash terms by selling them and more often than not you're going to have to shell out for a replacement.

Just another name for the same thing Border Tartan

@Shadow Puppets did say the home kit could divide opinion... Edit - "Controversial" was the exact term

Looks like his kid has a pretty big head though. Grumpy looking fucker n'all

In fairness, at no point did I question the owners ambition. I do question anyone who reckons we can continue to add 40% year-on-year without a major reshaping of the current rules.

Yes, but they didn't do it in five years and they aren't standing still so your original point of 40% year-on-year is wildly optimistic, "Basic mathematics" or otherwise.

This has been explained before though - we've already signed off the big deals. The amount required for that 40% growth increases each time, where is it all coming from? 40% on £150m = £60m 40% on £210m = £84m 40% on £294m = £118m ...and so on

Someone at Adidas hire @Kid Icarus ffs

My thoughts exactly. We've just got out of a PSR-shaped-hole and we're going to celebrate by doing exactly what got us in that hole in the first place...

This thread; "Nobody sings any more" 😠 *Sings song* "NO not that one!" 😡 *Sings different song* "YOU'RE SINGING IT TOO FAST" 🤬 (posted partly in jest...)

But if we have deals turned down, then the latest rules are also found to be null and void...

I'd be quite happy just doing what we were doing. Any top PL club could have signed Isak, Bruno, Botman, Gordon...it's not like we put £120m and £500k/week on the table to blow everyone else out of the water. Now we can't even do that, without selling one of those players to one of the clubs we're trying to overtake.

Do UEFA have their own version of APT rules?

Which three were found unlawful?

That's fair, and is one of the main issues at SJP. The problem is that, like in SJP, there hasn't been an effort to facilitate that sort of grouping together of likeminded supporters. Again, credit to Wor Flags for trying to do just that but I think it's a huge uphill task without support from official channels.

Yeah credit to @Heron and the Wor Flags lads and lasses but I can't see the atmosphere being any better than last time out seeing as its largely going to be all the same people attending. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Transfermarkt has him 75% on the left

A right-footed left-winger you say... Do they have any goalkeepers they're willing to part with too?

I just don't think we can shop in that £50m+ bracket. Or at least we can't do that and fill all the gaps in the squad.

He'll tear his pectoral putting the pen down after he's signed the new contract
