They’ve moved their model recently to that price point which will see more Ls and losses made. But people 2+ seasons will still rave about their business.

Murphy embarrassing him.

He’s so good, wingers and CMs will want to join us to play with him because they themselves will become better players as a result of his play.

Got what we needed. Now back to the real business next week of getting a big performance at home.

Chelsea could be 7th by end of today

Their form has been beating sides that are like 9th and below. They keep doing that, they have a good chance of UCL.

New Man City guys starting, be interesting to see what that CB is like.

Massive let off, but the CBs still concern me loads. Need to make a signing there because they’re literally on last legs like Schar.

If a PIF owned club once again bails out a direct rival by overpaying for a player that helps that club, then they need to fuck off Going to be owned by blood money, need some positives to it.

Week of league cup final too if we got there? So stitched up with less recovery days.

£8m for Whittaker Christ, that’s a great deal being missed by so many clubs, ourselves included. Solid squad player at worse where money is easily recouped if things stall.

Also Chelsea must be desperate for a new stadium when you see even them being left behind these days. That for them would see match day and commercial increase by a collective minimum £150m you’d assume (£100m match day and £50m stadium commercial).

They’ll always remain top 8, unless TV deal collapsed, but they’re sliding down and it’s not far fetched to think come end of this decade they will be 8th unless things suddenly improve which no-one 10 years ago could ever see happening. Barca will leapfrog up there once stadium is built. Bundesliga think have got a new bigger deal so more money for Bayern. Arsenal I’m sure are coming up for sponsorship renewal and now they’re back regularly at top end should be a big increase and Liverpool are continuously increasing with the stadium redevelopments and from being successful.

Team going through the emotions as they approach yet another fun game.

Probably say around 42k would be mark if a 70k stadium. 60% of stadium on seasons tickets. Then up to 10% away fans, between 5%-10% corporate (if they’re counted those seats, which I assume they are for safety purposes), leaving circa 20% for members / general sale for lower cup games. Need to keep some gateway for new fans to get to games, having 70% season ticket would be daft. Seen the issues currently of getting tickets if 35k estimate is close (which is 70%+ of stadium).

I mean, as much as we want to cook the books, we’re a side that has one season in Europe in past decade and no cups. Consistent seasons in Europe, with a cup, that will start to shoot towards £250m+ mark by end of decade. Then a new stadium will help drive it further as we move into 2030. There will be limits to what we can do, why we need to get off the field spot on for players to keep us in that consistent top 6 group and the increased commercial that comes with it.

People are still hyping up PSG like a top side when they’re anything but. Got a gift of a penalty last kick of game last season against us to avoid going out in group stages.

£50m shows Man Utd are desperate for money, despite the reports saying they’re not.

Guessing knee injury wrecked him? Because he had low level ability where he should easily be chugging along in L1/L2 picking up circa £3k+ a week.

Defo. Gamble moving forward is spend beyond their and PSR means, and hope PSR is binned / watered down over next 12 months. Enables them to be in a better position than others who have tried to play it by the book. At worse, they have countless players of good selling age to fall back on.

Giving how Forest have operated since being back, wouldn’t be shocked if they spent a load by end of Jan on a big signing and if they make some form of Europe, spend another £100m+ to try and stay at top end. Owner will gamble and happily run the risk of a small points deduction.

They will drop off soon and in that time they’ve signed Kovacic, Doku, Nunes for £135m, all who won’t have much of a market to recoup unless Saudis bail them out. Ederson, Ake, Stones, Akanji, Walker, Gundogan, KDB, Silva, Kovacic and Grealish. That’s a big group of players where Ederson aside, the sales are likely not there for good money. So need to find funds from somewhere in coming seasons and they can’t keep selling off the youth. Bobb / McAtee / O’Riley / Lewis all need to be key squad players and pathways open for them over next 18 months or they will be fucked. Do think Pep will hold the side together next season, but when he goes, people will act shocked at the drop off because the squad is overlooked.

Any full back will lose against a winger with pace if they are one on one every time Need to be like a prime Ashley Cole otherwise. You can get a full back that matches pace like a Davies, but then often you see them have lapses of concentration when play is on other side of pitch and not be goal side. Probably because they’ve used pace as a get out so often in their career. Having a CB that can eat up ground in seconds is key for a top side. Just makes attackers question themselves and gets side thinking outside of ‘clip it direct’.

Always happy to give people a pass when they’re in a toxic environment. I can imagine the atmosphere at Wolves is horrendous, similar to Everton of the past seasons. Scouts will know peoples mentality and behaviours from good due diligence, so anyone we sign I’m confident they’re a good egg.

Man City used Alvarez loads, one of the reasons for their drop off. And for all of Man City recent stuff, they have made some seriously bad buys which will come at losses and they’ve decimated their youth team so will need to wait a few years to be able to sell again on same scale. They will be restricted in coming seasons unless they move on O’Riley, McAtee, Savinho for good money. But then their squad is aging so can’t afford to lose them.
