The Prophet Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Thought yesterday's interview with Eales was overwhelmingly positive. Commercial revenue up 40%. Sela, Adidas and CL prize money to come. Howe going no where. Ashworth seemingly staying. The only slight negative is going forward we might need to trade players to invest in the team, but we already knew this. The media narrative is noticeably negative though and that discourse drives football these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverThere Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 2 hours ago, LFEE said: Having had time to listen to his press conference it’s quite clear none of our best players will be sold. So when sales are mentioned it will be along the lines of Longstaff. Not the PIF marquee signings. Given the injuries who could we really sell at this stage? I assume we will stand pat and sell in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Howe following on from Eales interview yesterday seems kind of deliberate, although to what end I don’t know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 1 hour ago, Jordan said: I’m baffled why at this stage we’re not massively exploiting this. The loophole will be closed very soon so it’s really only this window we can use it. PIF won't want to weaken their own league. Unless a player is actively pushing for a move, I don't think it's just an open market for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenC Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Every time we're coming up to the window or the window is open we do the hard up act had mackems and scousers at my door all day laughing about us having to sell all our players and get Mitrovic on a loan It's like this literally every time, is it not?

Yep. If we pay £7m loan fee for KP or overpay for anyone this window a la Wood then I’ll hold my hands up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t agree mate - it’s a matter of public record. There’s no secret slush fund we can draw down from. If were still in Europe and weren’t having such an awful run in the league, then I think there would be wriggle-room. December has cattle-trucked that. The club isn’t able to hide anything, so there isn’t a strategy here - other than perhaps to make their gripes public to join the noise re FFP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're softening us up as they've done the feasibilty study into extending St James' and it can't be done so they'll announce a new stadium and link it with us having to do it to compete financially.

Potentially. The tone is definitely different from previous. Easiest way to gain £50m a season on naming rights as well. We wouldn't accept a rename of SJP, but new stadium means thry can do what they want and state it had to be a high price due to previous backlash.
