The PL called for arbitration, why would we enter into arbitration when we won the appeal, there is no logical reason for the club to do so. The statement claim from the PL about arbitration, is about them saving face nothing will come of it We will see, I'm pretty sanguine about it. Never said it was, I was just stating there is precedent of them dealing with things before teams return.

Forest are going to finish 7th.

Sheffield United were punished and given sanctioned by the EFL with a 2 point deduction for the start of the EFL 24/25 season when they were still a PL club The EFL could have already started procedings once the appeals panel agreed with our arguments we weren't a PL club at the time of the offence. Why wait?

You can't amend rules and apply the retrospectively, it would never stand up in court. The 22/23 breach is done dusted.

Would like to see PSG win it.

At least we aren't one of the worst offenders at paying the hangers on, agent fees per club Feb 2024 - Feb 2025

Not a chance he's here for the first game of the season. They didn't keep Dean Smith after relegation who made a decent effort of sorting out Rodgers mess.

Enzo was announced as Chelsea manager on the 3rd of June, after around a week of negotiations. Vestergaard extension was announced the 7th of June, now I will give you maybe maybe Enzo encouraged the club. Ndidi wasn't announce until 12th of July, not sure you can blame him for that one. Winks and Mavididi both good signing did the job they were meant to do get us out of the Championship, and both have enough to be PL players under a decent coach. Coady I will give you.

Walks into our side.

You could say the same about the likes of Maddison and Tielemans. You don't realise what you have until its gone.

Still better then Cooper and RVN.

So painful watching Barnes play for Newcastle, should have been a LCFC legend.

I think people underestimate the impact of losing Enzo and the possibility of a points deduction. Losing Enzo put us on the back foot. The points deduction looming would have reduced our ability to attract both managers and players. Not a chance we sign, Skipp, BCDR and Ayew, Edouard with Enzo at the helm.

I had an Italian flag when Enzo was in charge with no fire certificate, had no end of trouble getting it into away ends.

Think Nigel is happy enjoying life.

Live table has Chelsea on 54, win give them 56. Forest on 57.

Believe it our not we are probably in a better position from a PSR point of view this summer

Win and they are 1 point behind Forest.

Need to offload as much of the high earns and deadwood. We need to get rid of as many of Faes, Daka, Soumare, Ayew, BDCR, Vestergaard , Coady, Thomas, Kristiansen as we can. Probably add Vardy and Ndidi to that list too.

Unlikely for the money we would want.

Good point, it was very Cooperish.

Most important things is has the correct fire certification if you are planning to take it into a ground.

It's like saying having the shits is better then being sick. Both dreadful managers.

There is always contact in football, contact doesn't mean its a foul. In the law of the game a foul is deemed as a physical offence which is unfair. For me both players are tussling and pulling at each other, so Thomas contact isn't unfair.

For me anything you have to look at 12 replays to decide is not clear and obvious. No issue with the Coady one but I think the Thomas was harsh.
