Fuck them I have nothing against Bournemouth, but they are voting for the rules to continue, so yes fuck them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Athletic article it says our new owners converted the MA loan nto equity.

Bournemouth didn't do that they took the loan w/off credit into the P&L I should've tried to read the article before commenting, I assumed it was just about it being written off rather than actually recorded as profit, that seems dodgy as fuck if the PL have allowed it.

Nucasol Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 7 hours ago, The Prophet said: City verdict pushed back until the summer. Enough of a proposed points deduction to relegate and need at least 9 months to run an appeals process so it gets heard and resolved in the same season it’s tabled?

If there were any contract renewals at this time there will likely be an agent fee which might suggest this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton / Gordon / Miley main three. Would expect Lascelles/Dubs was automatic extension so shouldn’t command agent fees, then it’s the transfers we made in Vlac / Kelly / Osula and Hall (which I assume would’ve been paid agent wise when deal was made permanent). Still feels way higher than it ought to be. Been bent over by an agent or two in those deals somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely insane that £409m is leached out of the game like that. It’s equivalent to 460 per seat at SJP, so basically tickets could be half price if all that spend wasn’t required Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
