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.

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.

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.

Every time we're coming up to the window or the window is open we do the hard up act :lol: 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?

Howe following on from Eales interview yesterday seems kind of deliberate, although to what end I don’t know.

Drive prices down.

Massive amounts of negative vibes coming out the club recently. Can't remember the last positive noise we made.

 

 

You miss the match last week ?

Do we really think that the publically produced accounts and the FFP regs are all an elaborate smokescreen to help NUFC drive prices down?

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.

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

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.

Let me guess you're a Mourinho guy right?
