You are talking this and that and you’re very far from the simple point I’m making and you just don’t seem to get it, or refuse to see it.  Let’s just leave it at that

 

You've jumped in and played mediator, that's all good, I do get what you're saying.

 

You don't get what I'm aiming at though, yes have an opinion, but don't regularly drive conjecture!

and there's a few posters that love it.

Research all you like, and share what you discover, but fuck off doing your conjecture posts on every bloody player.

 

Not you of course 

 

But hopefully we both understand each other now.

Not if he's referring to the transfer of organs

Does FFP affect London clubs. Just wondering.

 

Is it a North East tax or something?

Not when they get free stadiums. Though this isn't an unfair advantage, no.

They sold rice, FFP won’t be a thing for them for 2 more years.

Rice 

 

City are just playing the waiting game to see if anyone will panic and pay their ridiculous loan demands. All these links are just part of that. Think Phillips won’t move until end of the window.

Unfortunately I think if West Ham want him, they will get him. They can afford (fuck this perverse world) much more than us at present. 

[Dr.Spaceman]

Ah yes, West Ham, the club that once finished 6th amongst a litany of middle of the road "nothing" seasons.

Yeah I’m just saying that I think all clubs, West Ham included have baulked at the City’s loan demands (rumoured 7m loan fee for 4 months is insane). Don’t think West Ham will pay it just because they can.

They’ve finished top half more than we have in the last decade tbf, won a major trophy last season after reaching the UEFA Cup SF the year before, and are a London club with an average gate 10k above ours.

 

Not sure we can thumb our noses at them just yet.

The stadium shit still really fucks me off, getting a nice big windfall off selling Upton Park and that

I’d love for us to win it, but the conference league isn’t a major trophy imo.

Likewise.  Man City’s still does two decades later.  Tax-payer funded freebie

It definitely is for me - any of UEFA’s main tournaments are.

 

It would trump a League Cup

At least City spend a fortune on the area though, plus two i think expansions

That wasn’t on the cards when they were given the ground - and the improvements were still less than the cost of a new stadium.

I’d disagree, it’s much harder to win the league cup imo.

Obviously, never said otherwise. Just saying at least they did something. For what its worth Sport England paid £77m of the £119m cost so still not in the same league as West Hams £537m freebie

Difficulty of winning it doesn’t come into it tbf - the UEFA Cup was harder to win than the European Cup until relatively recently.  But the European Cup had more prestige. 

[Keegans Export]

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to win the Conference League but it's not a major trophy.

 

League titles, Champions Leagues and cup competitions like the FA Cup or UEFA Cup I'd say are. The Conference League is more like the League Cup - it's still a trophy at the end of the day, but if you've got high aspirations they don't stop at one of those. 

[Geogaddi]

Although it's obviously a more prestigious trophy the conference league reminds me of that daft pizza cup the mackems won, it's one of them where you don't really want to end up being in it and you end up playing a load of dog and duck type teams ,but if you are in it and have a chance of winning it you may as well take it .  I wouldn't class it as a major trophy though .
