Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I think its a compliment to say you'd be shite as a football pundit on SS tbf. Its unreal I'd rather listen to Mark Chapman's thoughts on football over any one of the pundits that sully that channel. He was Chris Moyles' sidekick ffs.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Was "Chappers" not on Moyles? Could swear he was at least for a bit in some capacity. Maybe it was only Scott Mills. Regardless, my point stands Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyprickles Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Nah he deffo was with Moyles also. Did the sport but was one of "the gang". Comedy Dave ffs. edit - maybe it was Scott Mills Edited March 29, 2022 by rickyprickles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) If they're relegated they absolutely are fucked financially. It's a stay of execution in many ways. Their first team squad is chronically bloated. We're talking like almost 45 players involved this season. They should save about £12m in wages when Gylfi Sigurdsson, Fabian Delph, and Cenk Tosun leave but I'd imagine any available money (before further departures) will be funnelled into central defenders. Yerry Mina isn't bad but he's injury prone. Then you have the English quartet of Ben Godfrey, Michael Keane, Jarrad Branthwaite, and Mason Holgate. It's debatable if any of that group are good enough, let alone good enough to play in a Frank Lampard system. Edited March 29, 2022 by Thiago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, even Bruce had a 'system' it was just written with a pen from a betting shop on a receipt from a service station. It doesn't necessarily mean complex or even successful. Rather, under Lampard, defenders play much higher up the field and they're asked to build out from the back. That's easier said than done as shown by the contrasting fortunes of Van Dijk and Maguire. The issue under him is compounded by the fact he often leaves his defenders open and facing 1v1 situations as we saw at Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think stadium costs are included in that loss figure, they're not included in the FFP calculation anyway and every club got a year off FFP for 19/20. So, yeah, absolute joke if no action is taken, the 18th placed club at the end of the season will rightly feel aggrieved that they were allowed to continue to sign players in January while the PL knew knowing they were already way over the FFP limit. Particularly in the context of it being at the same time as tightening the rules to limit us. If Everton had been challenging the big 6 for a Champions League place they 100% would be docked points.
