They would need 500 people which might be a challenge.

In Australia, the current immigrants of blame are Indians. Australia always has a current group of immigrants who are responsible for the bad driving, lack of housing etc. You know you are Australian when you are complaining about the next group.

Yes, although we will still record the parachute payments as income, and some of the owner funding can be spent on wages. The point being anyone out the door is good at this point. literally anyone.

That would be a silver lining at least.

While I am not suggesting the majority of bullying would ever escalate to such awful behaviour, this is why is it so important to stop it early. You never know what tragedy will result.

I used to live near the Chelsea training ground (and hence the squad), and the term entitled **** was created for this guy.

It's important to note that while we have committed those future payments to Macquarie, they are still income to the club when they are received, so form part of the max 60% wages / fees to income ratio in L1. The owners can put in funds to cover the cash requirements, but not much of that can be used to fund wages / signings.

How can this be legal? Seriously. Time to ban political donations more than say 10k. Including from unions.

What I'm saying is literally anyone we get an offer for needs to leave. We cannot have second string players on 40-60k a week. If you are not the first name on the team sheet, anything over 10-20k is not sustainable.

In many many countries the guy would be shot dead immediately, so on balance kicking him - and not all that hard really - in the head while he was still holding the knife was well within reasonable force.

Agree literally everyone is for sale. We can find 4 centre backs, or more likely 2-3 and youth player back up.

It already seems to be spreading to the idea that the press are in on it. Are they taking advantage of the situation? Of course. Did they arrange it? No of course not.

I find it hard to believe they see anything better on the training ground from anyone else.

The only commendable thing Starmer has done recently is stand up to the nonsense Trump is coming out with. He should continue to do so.

Completely disagree, this is what the lords is for. Stopping crappy legislation. We fix it and come back.

I would guess around the time their oil starts flowing?

I think with the right manager he will be an asset. Better than selling at a loss imo.

How is he doing?

The guy is mentally ill. We are in enough trouble already.

It is easy to write your anger, or let it out in the pub. Harder when there is miserable looking little bloke in front of you looking like someone just kicked his puppy.

No more stupid wages will be possible. Not a chance.

Shows what you know! They play Polo in Europe in the summer....

I think the point is, if you announce someone, get the approval of Trump and align his official accreditation as Starmer did, then chase daily for the approvals, you created an impossible situation where you effectively approved them and the sign off of Robbins was assumed. Robbins didn't have any choice imo.

Lestohians surely.

Firstly everyone out of contract leaves. No new deals however cheap. Everyone else is for sale. We need to get a manager sorted in the next few weeks. They then need to sit down with the DoF and agree who they actually want in the squad. Those they don't want or cannot afford to keep train apart and are told to find another club either perm or loan. They must be nowhere near the squad in the meantime. The DoF then has a list of gaps, a budget for wages and goes out to try and fill those gaps. Attituude is more important than skill at this point. Any gaps at the end of the summer window are filled with youth. We accept we may not get promoted next season.
