Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Yes because the bottom of the league was closer and clubs like Forrest threw the kitchen sink at it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’ve studied our accounts for the last 3 years and we may be in breach depending on certain rulings from the Everton and Forrest appeals. The club have been asked to be squeaky clean since the takeover. And there is no doubt it’s not a coincidence that we have spent absolutely zero (Klopp can fuck off with his ceilings) this window so far. By all means we are actually touting our players out. Surprised they let you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) 5 hours ago, TomYam said: True. Until two seasons ago they had spent as much time in the 4th tier as the first. Over the course of their history, their average position has been about 4th in the 3rd tier. On a par with Barnsley certainly, or possibly Grimsby, Plymouth, Hull, Bradford and Rotherham. Unlike those other towns, however, Brighton has long had a booming population and economy. Barnsley I can see. Definitely not the others. Prior to their modern day successes Brighton had more time in the topflight than Barnsley/Grimsby/Plymouth/Hull/Rotherham combined with at least similar support to all of those mentioned. Not saying they've not done great and smartly however, just that they're not a Wimbledon. Edited January 23 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 24 minutes ago, cubaricho said: We already have Tripps replacement in Tino and with the 45m or so it seems like we can go out and get MGW as Miggy's replacement and stay within FFP. MGW will cost more than £45m. Thats how much Forest paid 18 months ago. And he’s not a RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Also, it looks like I might be the only one non-plussed by MGW. Just looks like a good PL attacking midfielder to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Local press was saying yesterday we wanted 30 million for Miggy, if we have agreed a deal, I wonder if its anywhere close to that. 25 million or above would be fantastic for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So starts the dance with the PL’s independent FMV police.

gbandit Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Don’t know why I did it but I checked out a thread on Twitter where someone was defending Miggy and giving him credit. Cesspit responses followed from “the fans”. Honestly don’t get why some people follow football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnonel Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Agreed. As limited as Miggy may be, he worked his socks off for the team. I will never forget his smile. He goes with my best wishes, and if he ever comes back to ours, I will give him a standing ovation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Love the lad, and all his foibles. I’ll miss the joy he evidently plays the game with and his non-stop running. When he puts his head back when accelerating, like he’s dropping a gear, always makes me smile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Seems rare to see clubs agree a deal before the player has given the go ahead these days. Makes it feel very club-driven where Miggy would stay if he could which makes it feel like we're kinda kicking a puppy here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I just can’t help feel that 99% of everything being reported is guesswork, even more than normal as local journo's have very little in the way of reliable sources any more. Factor in the fact we are a "big story" again and it’s become bullshit, clickbait central. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonsays Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 So the club we are selling Miggy to isn't one of the PIF owned clubs? I assume we would still have a massive 'unofficial' influence over them though, but it wouldn't be subject to fair market value test? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
