LFEE Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Howe: "I'm not sure there are many clubs out there that are willing to help us currently. "To agree a loan deal, you need the club to agree to that deal, so we're in that moment where I'm not sure we have many friends in the market." No one likes us.

I was against it at first, but fuck it, everything else is in place to stop us we may as well exploit the one thing that isn’t whilst we can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it very strange as well - the clubs hungriest to win exploit every loophole they can find, and, in many instances (City, Everton, Chelsea etc), go so far as to openly violate the rules and (largely) get away with it. With that said, this posturing from Howe - "[no one likes us]" "[no one wants to deal with us]" - might be the club publicly setting the stage/expectations for some late-January moves that'll come in with the Saudi clubs.

Aye, if you completely ignore what they came out with just over 24 hours ago, showing that the club continues to grow off the pitch, which is what we need to grow on it, then it's clear there's not much difference between this lot and Ashley.

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...

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?

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...

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.
