My word. Why would anyone?

One of our lot has family there. Lovely people, he was NUFC through and through but with the thickest, I'm guessing Smethwickian, accent ever. Put us up and put up with us, cracking and unexpected Sunday dinner as well. But I'd never seen so many Ford Cortina's, even passing a car with a cover on, lifted the cover what are the odds.....a Mk IV fucking Cortina !

They fucked it up, that's why. 

 

In the case of Everton, they've wasted horrific amounts of money over long periods - if you spend huge amounts of money on shit players for so long, surely you can expect to dance with relegation?

 

Nah I think it's bollocks tbh. Having the audacity to upset the apple cart and they've been fucked because of it. It's shite. Just seems like a system aimed to scare off anyone who dares to try and compete with the established clubs. Just takes one or two iffy windows from Villa and Newcastle, a poor season in the league, and we're in the same boat.

FFP seems to be forcing Everton and Wolves into a sort of Leeds/Portsmouth situation despite the fact they're not financially in that position.

Makes it look more like the horseshit it is for me if so and could harness a 'cant win why try' status quo mentality amongst clubs and eventually fans. Which can't be good but not far from what the elites probably had in mind with it.

There is an element of that sure but evertons signings have been terrible. My hardcore Everton fan mate is 100% that the club deserve everything they're getting currently

If Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool have a shite window and poor season, they can write it off and spend £150m without flinching. 

 

Everton and Wolves do similar, they can't spend to put it right. I don't think that's 'financial fair play' at all. If the owners have the money to correct what they've done, there shouldn't be anything to stop them. 

 

All we're going to get if clubs continue to be punished this way is a big 6, then the rest filled up with clubs like Palace and Ashley- NUFC, happy with their lot just to be in the league without threatening the big boys.

On a graph of people versus task, where does the line go?


You know ONeill has two assistants and I don’t even know what he uses them for. When ONeill was managing Bournemouth, Jagtens perception was that he’s having a laugh. Mucking around at the expense of Michael B Jordan and William Foley. 
 

Jagten got the impression that O’Neill would rather be popular than steer Bournemouth in the right direction.

Great cars, though, very redolent of my childhood, my Dad had a series of them.

Had a bit of a soft spot for Wolves, not dissimilar to Leeds, Sheffield clubs etc. Probably a combination of nostalgia and geography, although for some reason I've always felt nothing for clubs like Derby or Forest.

Notwithstanding Man City and, before them, Chelsea took the piss but isn't the top and bottom of "modern" Top flight football that you have to get the big calls (transfers) bang on. If you don't, and you're general turn over can't accommodate huge levels of transfer failure, you're doomed. All about revenue.

I actually agree with that model in principle, but it's basic economics. If you throw money around hoping you have invested well - great if it does, tough luck if it doesn't.

 

Our problem isn't money, it's that other clubs have been allowed to spend theirs in the last 20 years and we are now stopped from doing it.

Aye, the cunts have pulled the ladder right up from under them. Boils my piss even more that the FCB allowed our turnover to fall so much.
