I wonder if the new regulator will have powers to get involved in specific FFP cases such as Man City. Or will they just be sitting in the background shaking their head at the PL for taking so long on this case. I hope they have intervention powers for this type of thing.

England. Might work out best for all parties if we have very poor end to the season.

Well that will change soon. The season after next I expect my season to go up from £550 it's been for about the last 13 years to about £900 ?

I've had a season ticket for decades and not a bed wetter or glory hunter or ungrateful. We've lost 12 of 28 in the PL conceding 48. We are 10th, below Brighton and Wolves. SB finished 13th and 12th in his two full seasons. For his sake I think EH needs some positive results and sign of improvement to take into the close season. Otherwise we may find out just how much influence (or not) AS and JR have over PIF. I dont think the Saudis bought us to finish mid table.

One Chelsea sub cost £80m on £200k per wages. Our combined five subs cost £15m on about £140k per week. The gap is massive and will continue to be.

The warning signs have been there since the start of the season. Brighton took us apart and our game management against Liverpool was shocking. We were so lucky to not concede at Milan. With hindsight our early season home form papered over a lot of deficiencies.

This is absolutely shite and has been for months. Since we beat Man Utd.

If the relevant costs are wages plus amortisation of transfer fees, then it must mean that stadium infrastructure costs are not included. So we can expand SJP or move elsewhere with no need to worry about breaching the new rules for this expenditure? As someone said above, the devil is in the detail and we've not seen this yet.

Unsure! Its breaking news. Just been voted in at today's PL meeting. On now.

PSR being replaced by new rules aligned to Fifa's. One SSN now. Might start this summer.

We'll catch these on the counter in the FA cup next week. Need to make sure we take those chances.

Its getting ridiculous now, more and more clubs impacted. But Leicester is a good one as Lineker will be pissed off and hopefully very vocal about on social media where he has loads of followers. His tweets might even make the front page of the Daily Mail!

Next item on his to do list is to work out a way to play Gordon and Barnes together from the start of a game. On paper that's a brilliant forward line alongside Isak. 40-50 goals between them is achievable.

How dare you say that. Those advertising hoardings bring in £300m revenue pa, all at fair market value of course ?

I think Bruno will be away this summer as at least one club will be prepared to meet his release clause and offer him a contract far higher than we could ever afford. I think his replacement is already at the club in Tonali. Not a like for like replacement but close enough and already taking into account for our ongoing FFP calculations going forward.

Agreed. My biggest criticism of Howe is being too loyal. Last summer was the time to cash in on Miggy, Wilson and Longstaff. Especially with our FFP restrictions. They are worth half of that value this summer.

We've really missed this guy and with hindsight Phillips was definitely a bullet dodged. But why the fuck didnt we sign a physical nasty CM in January. Even someone on loan from Italy, Spain or Germany would have done. Or one of those shit-house Argentina or Chile type of players!

I'd play Burn and Lascelles at CB on Tuesday. Cant be any worse and both have a point to prove.

Not seen any replays only the game in the stadium. Thought Miley was MOTM, great display. Dubs made two great saves first half but at fault for both goals. Solanke is worth £50m, he's like Wilson from 6 years ago but without the injuries Sell Miggy for FFP purposes plus Longstaff. Gordon is fantastic and a future England international. Tino is the future, but think he may settle in midfield. Stick with Howe.

Was just about to post the same. It happened in separate incidents as well. They weren't happy with him.

I made this point in the Pope thread last week. But apparently I was talking shit according to some and its solely the midfield to blame and not Dubs!

This is bullshit like. Nobody in my part of the stadium on Saturday was turning on Howe or the players. And not all 'the fans' were happy 'lapping up everything Ashley, Pardew, McClaren, Carver, Bruce, etc gave them'. You cant generalise about 52,000 fans in a stadium. Did you attend many matches over those 14 years? Did you not hear the Get out of our club songs?

He's been the biggest injury miss hasn't he? The difference in goals conceded before and after his injury is frightening! We actually kept five clean sheets in a row after the Brighton game in September. Seems like a lifetime ago now.

? 'roll out the red carpet, the mags are in town' ?
