Blimey, now we’ve got AI calling itself out.

Didn’t Martin Russell play on the wing for us in the 80s?

He wouldn’t last 5 minutes, imagine him in the Inter-continental derby. New signings would be eating his bollocks and eyeballs as part of their initiation.

The big one will be Man City, we wouldn’t have breached the rules at all if they hadn’t. Good luck to all the authorities dealing with the knock-on effect created if they’re found guilty.

Usually the showpiece friendly is the home one immediately before the season starts.

That’s a turnover of £2m+. Given the number of concession seats in the Family stand, it is likely that the 430 seats in executive boxes are creating more revenue than those 5,000 seats.

Do you want to start the thread or shall I?

Legacy benefit would last indefinitely.

I think he was referring to the scenario where if we sued Man City then they could too.

The potential repercussions of this are berserk. Man City and Chelsea cost us 2 CL spots. It’s inconceivable we’d be in the situation we are now if it wasn’t for that. You then get into a causation debate, should Leeds sue Man City because our breach that may have affected them was down to Man City breaking the rules.

Where’s the low ball offer coming from? He’s started in 1 Championship win since November and his attitude stinks. No PL team is going to touch him or, I doubt, any club with promotion aspirations. That just leaves clubs who can’t afford him. The only chance he goes is if we buy out his contract but his agent isn’t going to entertain that unless he’s got somewhere for him to go as a free agent.

It would be a first from top flight to 4th tier. The closest examples are Luton who had 3 successive relegations from the Championship to non-league, and Northampton who went from top flight to 4th tier in 4 seasons.

He does an ACL and just gets a wage off us for a year.

Oh I don’t remember that. I do however remember Simon Grayson juggling the ball with his hands at Tranmere in a playoff semi.

Winning the game of football that must hold the world record for the length of its name. Zenith Data Systems Cup Northern Section Semi-Final. The only match in history to take up 2 pages on Ceefax.

Most of it will be in black and white with a posh bloke commentating two seconds ahead of the pictures.

I believe it helped Daka work and rest but we’re still waiting for the play part. One for us gen-Xers.

About £450k iirc

Well we haven’t competed in anything this season so that’s progress.

Or 115 new rules in their case

Especially when there’s no news on Man City 8 years after the investigation started, 4 years after they were charged and 18 months since the hearing concluded.

You did well to stop at three. To a greater or lesser extent you could have added Beckford, Wood, Nugent, Perez, Musa, Okazaki, Slimani and Ulloa, imagine that’s 11 off the top of my head and still not exhaustive. Bloody hell, we spent £150m + wages + agents, trying to replace him while he was still here!

It seems short sighted not to have included guidelines on sanctions but if they had, it would be difficult to apply in a play-off situation. It’s either in or out at this point, I suspect it will be in.

For a club our size, the EPL will always be a fragile existence. Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford etc. are all only a couple of poor transfer windows from a similar fate.

Football fans are, in general, obsessed with the future. Giving up success this season to be in a bigger competition you won’t win the following season is just weird.
