I was sort of making the opposite point that what he can earn at some of the ‘rich six’ academies before he’s making first team squads is way higher than here. Seeing how unpredictable injuries could affect his career might affect his decision. I saw a kid leave arsenal for yanited at 16 a month ago because of what they were prepared to pay him.

More than two he’ll look at nyoni and his progress at Liverpool he’ll look at the £1m fee that Man City paid us for a 14 y o noubissie he’ll look at how ACL injuries for two of our brightest prospects at 18 may have affected their career progression it’s very nuanced and unless he’s from a staunch city supporting family, he’ll likely do what’s best for them as well as himself

No one will know until accounts are published. However, to do that deal we must have needed it in the books by end June. Otherwise why bother until the end of this season??

He could go to a different academy at the end of the season and we get a fixed rate of compensation. Probably couple hundred K in his case. with his profile and playing at U21 level already, we would hope to keep him at least until we can expect a much higher compensation claim (as per nyoni when it eventually happens). I presume that means him signing as a 16 y o ?? a lot of what happens with him will depend on his family and which agency they choose. (And of course the player who could go in any direction on many levels ( mentally), given his tender age).

There and back obviously wasn’t a very direct route!!

Who could have known that this team needed some pace out wide? (apart from everyone whose name wasn’t Southgate) trying to jemmy in all the best players irrelevant of their form and fitness cost us again

I think alves was subbed around 70 mins ?

Is draper ill? he seems to want to avoid too many long rallys - just can’t be sure EDIT: he’s defo ill - such a shame.

Ha not signed by pep pep wouldn’t have signed him ….

You made my point ? You don't get the gig at Man City unless you’ve already proved yourself.(which he and others have done). Once you’re there you will get better service than at other clubs.

Draper needs to improve his service in this semi or he’ll lose

It’s been mooted bit Schulz has said it won’t happen. The idea was that they were sent to the facilities the U.K. had paid for whilst their claims were dealt with. If successful then they could return to Germany. i believe that the uk’s plan was that anyone sent to Rwanda wouldn’t be allowed to return to the U.K.

Not really it’s pretty obvious that if you play up top for Man City then you’re going to get better chances. But you HAVE a to prove yourself to get that gig .

71% possession 19 shots 2 on target PL Haaland is definitely helped where he is he doesn’t score 1 goal a game at forest

Something says nagging away in my mind If we’re claiming that the PL cannot charge us because we were a championship club then why can’t the EFL charge us? This would open up lots of nuances an elf sanction could be either a fine or a points deduction for when we are next relegated- neither of these are a benefit for the PL. if the EFL apply a sanction for 19/20 to 21/22 period then if we breach psr within the next two years in the PL, they couldn’t apply any sanction for the years already dealt with under double jeopardy. I think that the PL will actually allow the EFL to take on the overspend if they’re minded to take on the potential legal spend. Their public declarations that we must be punished demand that they do something. If they do nothing then I wonder if that indicates the PL believe we will breach to 2024 and want the previous two years available for sanctions to be applied.

Borsan indicated that it was 35 for the promotion season (to June 24) and then whatever they were entitled to for the previous two. Ipswich would have 61m in that case and would be miles below it. For this season they would still have 61m whereas we would have 83m. On the basis that they would have been budgeting to fit below 39m, you can see why they’ve been able to spend a lot on fees with that additional 22m to play with.

The hotel sale only works for them because of the increase in value with it being in Chelsea. They sold it for 76m. We must assume that it hadn’t been revalued in their books for some time so they were able to take the asset value increase as a positive in their psr numbers. If they had it valued in their books at 76m and then sold it for 76m then it would be neutral. Your question about them buying it back for 80m and that being deductible on the basis that it’s infrastructure investment is interesting. Does infrastructure spending have to be on new development ? In any case, the selling of this type asset is not allowed by uefa so Chelsea will have to find a new way of meeting their obligations because the PL is coming into line with uefa spending rules. assuming that the rich six will want to keep this asset sale option open, it only needs one of the other 14 to agree to keep it. it was nine in total on the June vote. i believe that their approach with long contracts for young players on reduced wages (65/85k per week) could actually prove to work on a financial level. But it’s very much questionable whether it will work on a football basis.

Knew someone would put the Swiss ramble numbers on here 👍 the good news from those is that even if allowable losses to 2024 are 105m and the next three years are 83m, if we’ve avoided a breach to June 2024 then we should be able to avoid further breaches beyond then. However, a relegation in May 2025 would then mean our allowable losses to 2026 would be 61m which would require further pruning of the squad around our best players where an sig profit is available.

Pickford has made more errors so far this season early days yet Everton’s defence has been worse than the premier league’s legal team ….

Forgot about the game v Bournemouth. Cooper must have been sat next to you …

Won 2-0 with two late goals switzerland down to ten men after 52’ abdul and ayew played for Ghana who lost 1-0 at home to Angola. One way of avoiding AFCON problems is if the players don’t qualify !

In our current position I’d like a pope or a Pickford. we don’t need a keeper who is good with their feet this season!

That transfer spend is negative 11m in that season’s psr we know it’s the wages that have killed us 21/22 is the year that ‘killed us’ because we made no big sale in it.

You’re not wrong - the three year cycle doesn’t care about single years we breached but no one had the authority to charge us

I don’t think we’d be charged as an efl club because by the time we filed we were a PL club
