Wasn’t it meant to be the ‘early learning’ club for Top whilst Vichai ran Leicester until he wanted to hand the reigns over 🤷‍♂️

Am I reading this wrong about consistency of Liverpool, it’s taken them 35yrs to get the 2 titles required to subsequently match Man U & those have come in the past 5/6yrs.

It could be why Birmingham have a vision of building a 62k seater to tap into these semi finals & International games as well as NFL, concerts etc with the strap line of we are pretty central within the country to support most neutral travelling friends.

Palace show Pace beats most things, Sarr unplayable we need to be signing pacey players

Without buying anyone we have a starting 11 that should challenge Jacob Ricardo (C) Nelson. Soutter Thomas Skipp Winks Fats Bilal Mavi Daka Ricardo as inverted RB making a ball playing midfield and putting Thomas as the LCB. You still have the likes of Oki, James, Woyo, McAteer and all the lads from the academy…the rest can bloody do 1. Then add a few signings that could/should take a starting slot. They need to have pace & be around 23/24 or younger.

A bit early again with bigging other teams up, Southampton are just as bad as us

4 subs already probably means we won’t be seeing Monga as you’d assume it’ll be Daka for Vardy at some point

It should have been Reid & Facundo off for McAteer and Monga with Bilal moving closer to Vardy, we need pace ffs. Next subs after that should then be Ndidi, Soumare and Vardy

People better be leaving

But they don’t, they still buy players at 25-40m, this season they spent 127m fortunately offset by their sale of Solanke where they did manage to do a Leicester and stiff 64m out of Spurs somehow but that was basically the only sale. The season before another 127m spent with just a 1.5m sale, the season before that 83m spent & 0m sale 🤷‍♂️ They also like us must be offering incentives to sign for them, yes some will sign just to be in the premier league and will certainly use them as a stepping stone but pound to a pinch they are paying higher wages than they ever have and the longer the stay competitive that figure will rise, I just don’t see how they are keeping the right side of psr year on year. Granted this summer it looks like they are going to get a bumper cash injection from possible sales but they will still spend a vast chunk of that to be competitive, and if they keep the manager he will certainly want money otherwise he’ll be off also.

Yeah that’s why it seems even crazier as they are expanding without closing so it must be up not out & no fans village type affair, just another 10k seats. Revenue from that probably doesn’t even push them over the £10m mark 🤷‍♂️

Bournemouth are looking to buy back their stadium with a view for redevelopment. The current capacity is 11.7k & they want to expand that to 20k with a further potential add on of 3k, it’s peanuts in the big scheme & just gets me thinking about how they are achieving to fall within PSR now and especially in the future, can anyone advise where they sit within the rules currently & where they receive their revenue from? I know the easy answer is having a decent board and recruiting system but they are a premier league team with premier league overheads which only get more expensive with every season they are in. The stadium is a large part of the revenue stream for most clubs, Leicester with 32k capacity still only make around 15m per season from it & it has the ability to be used for other footballing & non football events, how much can Bournemouth get from its current 11k capacity and even the proposed 23k, also is it used for any other event? Man U & Spurs for example receive over 100m per season in returns on their stadiums, Everton will now also be generating a huge income from theirs, I get they also need to pay for these stadiums but at some point profit will out-way overheads/upkeep. As I say it’s great having a decent board and to be careful about transfers and salaries but once an established premier league team as they are now there is no way of kerbing those costs, to stay you inevitably pay, so it just amazes me how they are funding this.

Christ Sky really can’t wait for Liverpool to be crowned champions. On Saturday report highlighting how they could be champions. Didn’t happen so on Sunday how they could champions Didnt happen so on Wednesday how they could be champions later that night Didn’t happen so today there’s another how they can be crowned champions on Sunday ffs they need 1pt we get it

I’m not so sure, Rashford probably got more to his bow than Watkins with Watkins being the better out and out scorer currently. Not sure just looking in the here and now paints the right picture for Rashford, at 1 point he was 1st name on the sheet for Man U & England but lost his way coupled with all the issues at Man U. Watkins hasn’t always been this good he’s having a purple 2yrs or so but he’s 29 was he talked about like he is currently pre 27 like Rashford ,who is 27, a couple of seasons ago? They are probably both feeling the benefits of the Emery affect & a nice problem for him to have, if I could only pick 1 I think I’d probably fall on the side of Rashford with an eye looking at knowing what he can do when fully on it & being 2yrs younger than Watkins.
