Maggies

Our ownership without Howe will be successful. Howe without our ownership structure then we won’t be successful. Hopefully Howe stays but if not then so be it. We’ll move on and still be successful. The model being built by the club is bigger and more important than the manager.

Amanda and Mehrdad deserve our thanks but they just didn’t have enough equity to continue. Can only be seen as a positive that PIF have purchased the majority of their shares.

Merino header! Reminds me of Palace at home.

Same season but the winner at home to Wolves. On a low following cup final, but scraped a win and never looked back. Worst memory - Milan at home this season, missing an open goal as wouldn’t use right foot.

I think it means… £15m added to amortisation line equates to spending £75m this summer on new signings. To be PSR compliant we would then need to sell £17m worth of players (e.g. a Wilson or Almiron). If we sell more or bring in more commercial revenue then we can spend more.

Maybe the Anderson transfer was an offer too good to turn down. Worst case figures from people like Swiss Ramble had us needing £40m so hopefully the Anderson plus Minteh gives us £30m more profit than needed… I have no idea to be honest. But if we were ready to drop £60m on Olise then you’d like to think there’s a decent chunk of money available to spend.

Subs happen while the game continues

Southgate is insane

Wouldn’t be surprised if someone like Anderson still leaves tomorrow.

Totally agree - supporters have been nothing but positive so far, but if this happens then expect significant backlash. Competence of those running the club will rightly be questioned.

We would need to sell him for £70m to £80m to make a decent enough profit to affect PSR. Convinced this is paper talk however if not the club have hugely messed up.

100%. It’s hard to judge these potential signings until the window is finished. As a squad player, I’d rather have Elanga over Anderson.

Feels we can’t judge this transfer until the window has played out and we see who we bring in. If our RW next season is still Almiron and Murphy then this is a disaster.

He is exactly what England need. His pace and direct running means defenders sit off him which creates space for everyone else. Just that one change alone will mean better performances from most other players.

Saudi transfer window doesn’t open until 17th July

Based upon we sometimes go back for players we’ve been linked to, Raphinha would be dream signing.✍️

Pretty much, unless we beat Slovenia by 3 goals without them scoring and Denmark beat Serbia.

Very likely we play Holland in next round if we top the group ignore that, think I’m talking rubbish again…

Has it been confirmed that Armstrong was onside before the penalty incident? Thought he looked off to me

Has to be a PSR thing where both clubs can bank a sale prior to 30th June deadline.

City are also claiming damages from the Premier League. The rule must surely be immediately lifted if they win otherwise the queue of damage claims will grow.

Has a manager ever been sacked at half time?

No way they will put in rules to prevent/reduce investment in the women’s game. The negative press the Premier League would get from limiting this would be huge.

At the top, Man City will continue to dominate for the foreseeable. Other clubs may pick up the odd trophy, but to call it a ‘Big 6’ is false. Mid table teams e.g. West Ham, Brighton will never win the league. They may pick up a low profile trophy every 10-15 years. Newly promoted clubs don’t have a hope in staying up unless they gamble like Forest and accept a points deduction is coming. Clubs like Forest, Palace, Everton have zero hope of ever winning the league again. If you predict what the league will look like in 10 years time, I bet majority would be correct. Clubs literally need to win the lottery like we have to progress and even then, show patience during the process. Football is screwed unless drastic changes are made. I don’t understand why more fans aren’t pushing back against these rules like they were for the Super League.

Weird one this… if we sell Minteh and keep Almiron then bad business. If we sell Minteh and Almiron and get a world class right winger in then great business.
