Maggies

I really hope we have some deals that were knocked back between 2021 to 2024 that we can now go after. As a minimum I should imagine we could argue the Sela and Noon deals were limited due to the illegal rules.

Premier League would have to give other clubs less money to pay for this damage. Imagine other clubs funding our transfer war chest after we win a sizeable payout for loss of earnings!

How does this work - the Premier League potentially going bust?!

Yes. The Premier League may try to stop is as the current rules remain in place, however the current rules are likely to be found illegal and we will then sue for the loss.

Let’s go!

It’s not a run of the mill league match so I think atmosphere will be canny enough. Glad it’s Sunday so we get an extra day rest after Liverpool.

Hopefully he uses the time to heal fully and is back on form when he returns.

Anyone know when Box Park goes on sale?

We need a new #1 keeper in the summer but Dubravka is a decent enough #2. Pope will be sold.

Yeah - I suspect most people who didn’t attend one of the matches just forwarded on the email instead of official transferring route.

Loads. Not many tickets sold yesterday.

Happy with a home draw. Shame the other matches are walkovers for most of the better sides.

Just wait for the chaos on the FA Cup final when we’ll have even fewer tickets!

If it’s like last time, you’ll be able to see seat availability. So if you have someone in your group in pot 1 then they can just keep an eye on tickets and then act accordingly. Pots 1 to 3 are all guaranteed tickets, so the risk is just whether you’ll be able to sit together.

Pots 1 to 3 guaranteed a ticket according to FAQs. Also, pots 1 and 2 could wait until pot 3 to buy together if they wanted to. Pots 1 to 3 can’t enter ballots however.

Definitely a confidence player. I think he still has a role to play in the squad where you need someone for last 20 minutes to run around a bit. Unfortunately he’s not technically strong enough for where we want to get to. Feels like we have higher priorities to sort out this summer rather than Longstaff replacement, unless a decent bid for him comes in.

Longstaff is horrendous. Confidence gone so he plays the easy option and kills any momentum.

It is. We are such an entertaining team at the moment. Bring on a bit more quality for the last 20 minutes and will it be a couple.

These players just get us fans. Lucky to have them.

Ortega is as bad as Dubravka

Surely we can now go for a loan with an obligation as we know £20m is coming in the summer.

He’s done. Loan out to bottom half prem team and sell for £15m in the summer.

He’s our best defender, has to start next game

He’s our best keeper, has to start next game.

We’re far too easy and predictable to play again now at home. Until we have defenders or a goalkeeper who can pass through the press then we’re screwed against teams like Fulham and Bournemouth.
