I'd be bothered more if they didn't sell their ground to their owner to justify funding for the FFP rules. But the hypocrisy makes #Nofuchsgiven 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see much of an issue with it personally. It's just us being extremely savvy and Wednesday being totally naive. It's not our fault the rules work the way they do - in exactly the same way as our administration. Though this comment was ****ing perverse: ID0555932 Patchdog 2h ago 01 Didn't the guy who facilitated, effectively oversaw and sanctioned this system abuse end up in a chopper accident?

Gerard Posted 9 August 2019 Share Posted 9 August 2019 They also didn't play George Hurst at any level in his last year because he refused to sign a contract which is his right. I don't blame Hurst for making sure they received minimal compensation when they tried to ruin his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxer Posted 9 August 2019 Share Posted 9 August 2019 Lawro's assessment of us is quite encouraging: "I have heard a few people saying Leicester might be the team that breaks into the top six next season - well, not for me. I don't understand why they did not replace Harry Maguire after selling him to United for £80m, and they rely too much on Jamie Vardy for goals. If he gets injured, they are in trouble." He then goes on to say that a top 10 finish for wolves would be decent. He obviously thinks the top 6 is decided already then despite man u, Chelsea and arsenal all having major flaws 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still annoys me that his arrogant dismissal wasn't ever challenged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Babylon Posted 9 August 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 9 August 2019 On 05/08/2019 at 13:55, Cardiff_Fox said: Within the Athletic's article on the transfer market, it references us agreeing to sign a player but his agent insisted on him joining a club abroad because of the higher agent fee, to which he hated his time there. The player I reckon it is would be Patrick Roberts - well linked, goes to Girona, and hates it. Do these players not realise that their agents are not their owners, they are paying them for their service and the agent should do what the player says. So I have little sympathy as the players themselves are often only focused on the gravy train. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
