That’s not just a gut punch; it’s way worse than the worst-case scenario I thought was even possible a few weeks ago. Honestly might be the end of me and this sport at the PL level tbh.

Man if we were more capable of transfers the thought of a £120-150m fee being reinvested would be slightly more exciting though I really can't help but wonder if we've been so hesitant in the market because we may have been waiting to get a huge injection of money first, which would affect the choice of player we go for.

It's probably one of the worst imo A player who is not that good nor fits our system, plus less funds which clearly we so desperately need to maximise to have any slim chance of competing.

Kid Icarus Posted July 24, 2025 Share Posted July 24, 2025 (edited) 17 minutes ago, Yorkie said: I'm not convinced by any of that tbh, certainly not taking a points hit, that would've totally knackered our season last year. We've traded reasonably well with what we've got to trade imo; the fees recouped for Kelly, Longstaff and even Miggy have been very good considering their status in our squad, and I was entirely in favour of the (relatively) huge Minteh sale. It looks like there are commercial opportunities being passed-up for reasons I can't fathom, but nothing should take us away from the fact that there's a set of rules in place that are incredibly effective at benefiting the interests of cartel clubs. I find it a shame that people go straight in on the club when there's this blatant unfairness having the greatest impact of all. It's taken me 4 years to point my finger at the club on this so I don't really agree with your take on going straight for them. Both things can be true at the same time. The set of rules are in place to hold us and others back, while we've also done nothing to work around them. All of the things we've done are about working firmly within the rules and meeting them square on, and even then they've been limited - not enough player trading, sponsorships, or legal challenges. Take for example a points hit - for your argument that taking a points hit would have ruined last season, the counter to that is the reason you get a points hit in the first place. Eg 'over' spending on players can negate that and/or you take the hit but the squad is now a title challenging one (for example) after the punishment is dealt with.

TRon Posted July 24, 2025 Share Posted July 24, 2025 5 minutes ago, Geordie Ahmed said: I get that and I'm not denying that but the club are aware that's the situation And they need to come up with a solution, whether that is to pivot to a different set of targets, go back to the signings we made post takeover, which granted are riskier but give me a riskier signing than no signing I don't agree about the PSR situation, but aside from that the club have handled the leadership situation poorly. Eales should have been relieved of duty months ago so we would be ready for this window. To have Mitchell swan off just when the window opened was really poor.
