ACF

Genuinely teared up watching Vards give him the armband, and then his reaction to the banner. Might be because it’s midnight and I’m pissed but I love him.

game pass just kicked me off and can’t get back in for the trophy lift what a crock of shit

Very disappointed some of the youth aren’t on the bench.

Players out, you account for the cash immediately. Players in, the cost is amortised over the length of the contract. This is how Chelsea got around it, signing Mudryk for £88m with an 8.5 year deal, Madueke £29m over 7, Fofana £75m over 7, Enzo £106m over 8.5. They spent £600m but over it’s accounted for over 9 years so shouldn’t breach regs. That loophole has now been closed, to a max 5 year period. Academy players, we never bought them, so it’s pure profit. If we sell for example Ben Nelson for £5m, it’s £5m added to this years kitty. Harry Souttar, signed Jan 23 for £15m until June 2028. Before loophole closed, so spread over total contract length of 5.5 years. Book value approx £11.25m remaining. Need to sell him for £16.25m to generate that same profit. Note - not an accountant. This could be wrong but it is what I understand to be true!

Need to make sure it’s a legitimately reasonable amount for someone to sponsor the training ground for though. Can’t do what CFG have done and make up sponsorships using company brands and assets.

Rumour was flying about around a potential training ground sponsorship £ from King Power. Might go towards the closing the gap.

Fair play for doing a Sharky one too, class that lads.

A more than capable number 2, and seems really well liked in the dressing room. 2 matches in the league, 0 conceded. 6 conceded in 4 games of the FA Cup, 4 of them to Chelsea. 8.42 xGOT faced. 2 clean sheets. 3 conceded in 3 games in the League Cup, all of them to Liverpool. 2 clean sheets. A good season to build on for young Stol.

Agree with you, I don’t like it. It’s very American, like giving the Super Bowl trophy to the owners first. Join in the changing room and at the training ground, but doesnt need to be in front of fans. Also think him being so close to the playing staff isn’t a good thing - he and Rudkin (shudder) need to be distant to make some more difficult decisions without the attachment. Certain this would have helped the timelines on Rodgers sacking (besides the financial element).

Someone get Ric & Winksy on a narrow boat NOW

Wrap KDH in cotton wool and say farewell. Need that £30m. Start Sharky. Start Souttar and anyone else we might want to sell in the window. Braybrooke, Nelson, Alves minutes off the bench. Have a fookin party.

It’s a lovely gash on his knee 😂

Called it last summer but would love to get Alex Robertson from Man City in our mix. Pompey were loving him until his injury. Souttar’s experience here may play against us but he’s worked with Enzo previously.

Did Melbourne to Leeds one trip, followed it up with Middlesbrough at home, Mahrez’s first game. Did another trip to London, for Palace away. Landed, family had some horrible news whilst we were flying, didn’t leave the hotel room until our flight home two days later. Long way for not a game.

Just adjust it “Leicester City staying up”?

Hear me out. Get Fofana back on loan. He’s been crocked. Needs a season to show he’s fit, he might not get that a Chelsea. Would fit Enzo’s system. Him and Coady could be quite fun together.

This

I want him purely for his name, lovely that

I NEED to see more of this Enzo rather than the press conference Enzo

Early sub???

MAVINDIDI

Thing is we don’t need him to challenge for a starting berth; we just need him to be good enough for 15-20 off the bench to give poor Winksy a rest now and then.

The relationship I have with this club has gone beyond unhealthy to destructive

Vesty followed Diagana all over the ground as was pulled out of position several times. That meant the gap between Coady and Faes was wide open at times. Still think we were better defensively than some other games!

3! The second and third were together, Mads missed it and Hamza saved it, then the header from the rebound.
