Both clubs share the same principal partner in Dafabet and in recognition of this, the game - the first pre-season friendly to be staged at the stadium since 2008 – will be known as the Dafabet Cup, with the respective trophy awarded to the winning side.

Yeah this 5 million for Murphy is a one of those Mackem lies that have been repeated so many times they've become truth.

 

if the rumours are true they want to sign him I hope we make sure to charge them the £5m they keep claiming he cost us.

Mustve been around the time they decided it was better to devote the stadium pre-season to those lucrative and high-profile summer gigs which brought millions of pounds into the local economy and raised the profile of both the club and the city nationally and internationally...

 

...that we just nicked.

Can't believe they're getting £5m for Borini. Along with Pickford and the probable sales of Kone, Ndong and Khazri, they might raise a decent chunk.

Isn't that roughly what we paid for Murphy?

 

More.  We paid around £3m for Murphy.

Still, shows how little you get for those sums. Ageing third choice Championship striker, basically.

£5m is a pittance to be honest like, likely does nowt but cover what they still owe Liverpool.  They paid £10m for him 2 years ago so I'd be very surprised if they don't still owe £5m for him.

I would consider sticking money on them going up tbh, there is still plenty of s**** in that league

 

Have you seen the state of their squad ? Unless these new owners (if it happens) throw a ton of money at them, a better bet is for them to go down again. Look at how badly Villa struggled last year with a way superior squad and a real manager !

I had a feeling that somebody would have beaten me to it!

It just isn't going to happen.

The current ownership have thrown a ton of misplaced money at it and that's a fundemental part of why they're in their current predicament.

Their next ten years will be a lot more austere than the last ten.

In the post-war era they've been out of the top Divison for five consecutive seasons on two occasions and for six consecutive seasons on two occasions. There was a brief run around in third tier in their somewhere. At the minute it looks like all the conditions could be in place for a reord breaking run. Btw, apparently only three league clubs have had three consecutive relegations (Wolves, Luton, Bristol City), unlikely but there's a winnable competition, actually wouldn't require much effort... just keep doing nothing. "3 in a row FTM!"  :flex:
