Hopefully today’s strategy is to get 4-0 up before half time, declare at that and we can all go home and get warm. Hopefully. -

Disgraceful Stickers Noticed at LCFC Away Games

Unfortunately we do have some profoundly thick as pig shit, knuckle dragging filth "supporting" the same club as us. -

I'd argue that we weren't even allowed to be ambitious. When we won the league the rules at the time were "short term cost control" which prevented clubs from spending more than 7% than the previous season. As we'd finished 14th the season before winning the league, in 2016 we could ONLY spend as if we were still a bottom half club and not as the actual champions. We exploited that each year by selling one big asset every season and using it to fund smart signings, which Rodgers took from lower top half to actually competing at the very top of the league. There's no coincidence that the night we reached the FA Cup final while we were in 3rd for the second season in a row, the "big clubs (plus Tottenham) announced they were setting up the ESL. The mistake we made was deciding to be ambitious by keeping that team together by not selling anyone in the summer of 2021, when PSR was tightened the year before during the pandemic. Rudkin and the club handled it terribly and should be held accountable for that. But there is no denying that the Premier League's rules - FFP, STCC, PSR - are explicitly designed to prevent ambitious clubs from ascending to upper echelons of the league and staying there. Especially when club's profits are directly controlled by the league through broadcasting. Blame the club and Rudkin all you want - they have a lot to answer for. But you cannot deny the Premier League punishes ambition when the evidence is plain to see.

So were Villa last season. Look at them now. So were Newcastle the previous season. Look at them after that. So were we for two seasons in a row, winning the cup and reaching the semis in Europe. Look at our last 3 seasons. The rules are explicitly designed to punish ambition by a league that directly controls profitability. Whatever happens to Forest this season, they won’t be allowed to progress any further. Villa weren’t. Newcastle, owned by a nation state, weren’t. We certainly weren’t.
