Merging Cultures

This is shite.

Why can't Soumare do that all the time?

Did we play tonight? I mean, I watched a game, I saw some people running about, but I assumed they were just out for some exercise. No one seemed to need to get above 50% exertion, on either side.

We played well, then brought on Winks, who gave the ball away constantly. Ridiculous handball and offside goal. I do think there were quite a few positives though.

Joke of an offside.

That's an awful team. We'll win now.

Shocking defending

It's encouraging that we are not talking about the GK. Pleased for Stolarcyk and for how well he has done so far.

I understand they are in arbitration - so sitting down with the club and a third party to try to resolve the issue in a mutually satisfactory way. Which is completely to help them find a way to save face. They are probably trying to find a way to get us to agree to pay a small fine, so they can point to that and say they punished us. I doubt we want to do anything though as I am sure we are confident of winning if it goes to court for an appeal.

He and all the others need to criticised harshly for all the bs they put out. They do not know clubs finances until they are published, and they do not fully understand all the complexities of the PSR rules, at least not to the extent of Nick et al.

They are in arbitration, and it won't go anywhere beyond that imo.

Happy Belated Birthday John, never doubted you!!

We seem to be in the mood for that, and we certainly have the legal team to do some damage!!

There isn't. The jurisdiction case has been solved re. the PL. We weren't a PL club. I imagine there is something for the EFL, but I am not sure how that works if we were only a Championship club for one year?

They are clearly cleaning up the books, but it does take time. They pushed hard after the title, and yes paid for it. Contracts are hard to untangle from.

Basically. Sell a player for £20m, record it in this year's revenue. Buy a player for £25m, amortized at £5m a year over 5 years.

What a gimp. They just write rubbish to cause a stink around us.

I hope we do some PSR swaps, like the KDH deal, which allows us to bring in a few players with their cost amortized over a number of years. We should be able to buy a few decent players that way.

This is good. But the press around it all has been damaging. I bet we don't get the same level of coverage for not being charged. Now let's get some players in and kick on to stay up.

It's good for the league and football generally. We need to see teams being competitive, failures etc it makes it interesting.

Why haven't the PL got hold of our Nick and paid him millions to clean up their rules? I am glad they haven't though.

At HT

Triple captained Haaland. So he'll blank at least.

Poor start, no one getting a hold of the ball. Let's keep our head up, we can come back.

JJ left out to dry there
