LionOfGosforth Posted June 29, 2024 Share Posted June 29, 2024 Glad it appears to have been worked out and our immediate PSR issues solved. Still stinks a bit, would have been nice to see what Eddie could have done with him, especially since he plays exactly where we need a bit of a quality injection. Honestly, when the takeover was announced, my personal excitement for it centered, not around the superstars we'd sign, but the naive notion that we'd never again have to sell if we didn't want to. The big 6 cartel and PL put paid to that with their bullshit rules. Nevertheless, glad this appears to be done, the alternatives were not worth thinking about.

This isn’t the norm for us, we’re not used to it. We get good players and hold onto them like precious diamonds. You sign for us, you’re one of us. This just feels cold and alien. £33m is a very good price. We’ve made back more than 5x what we paid for him. I can stomach watching him tear it up at Brighton if bring in the 2-3 we need to push on. Anyway I hate this, I hate football and I hate June. July comes around and we’re going for it. Admittedly I haven't bothered learning owt about PSR. Does us having to sell Minteh to balance the books, equate to us having more money to spend in July? I thought it was purely to avoid punishment.

The College Dropout Posted June 29, 2024 Share Posted June 29, 2024 7 minutes ago, Andy said: Seems like we've got ourselves out of jail at the last moment, really makes you wonder what would have happened if Minteh wasn't on the books though or if he didn't do well last season, as we clearly can't shift anyone other than the obvious ones you wouldn't want to see go. Important that the club learn from this and don't end up in this position again. We have to assume the rules are here to stay and are only going to get more and more strict Aye and also. We don’t have (m)any other Mintehs. Villa and Chelsea have academy’s that are producing talent. We don’t. Chelsea has options of players to sell. We had Minteh and then a crown jewel. minteh lad has saved us from catastrophe. And him moving is a mini catastrophe too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted June 29, 2024 Share Posted June 29, 2024 We haven’t managed to get rid of Miggy and Murphy yet. I’m not confident we’ll be able to move them along for decent fees.

It’s the biggest lot of shit ever. Not a chance the club did that to ‘soften the blow’ there has been an air of desperation around this whole thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
