Personally London’s a shit hole and not a fan! So that’s why I don’t get the fuss of being there tbh. But each to there own 

Alan? Is that you?

The thing is the teams we will be competing with for players - Wolves, Southampton, Everton, etc. The teams who are next in line to the top 6, we will pay similar wages.

Getting shown around this place is going to turn a few heads. Imagine looking around Seagrave and not being impressed.

Not enough is made of the fact that Short Term Cost Control is what held us back after we won the league. We couldn't increase our wage bill by more than 7% annually, and therefore we couldn't compete in the transfer market with the traditional 'big' teams.

 

I now believe that has been in a blessing in disguise. Look at Arsenal paying £350k a week to a player to not play. Where are they now? And look at Man Utd, who can afford to pay a world record fee for Maguire and pay him 3x what we were. Let's let those two make very, very expensive mistakes. It genuinely suits us. 

 

This training ground will give us a competitive advantage over most of the league - just imagine where we'll be in the next 10 years.

You can't describe a city as vast and varied as London a "shithole" like it's a one size fits all thing.

I’m impressed seeing it every time I drive in or out of my village, night time is best obviously as it’s lit up like a Christmas tree, I even noticed it from Kendal Road/ Avenue Road junction last night which is the first time I have seen it from that spot.

 

It’s a bit like the Eiffel Tower or the Shard popping up in all odd locations when it’s dark.

 

Amazing complex.

Is today the day? Or tomorrow if today is day off?! I wanna see that silky video of the players seeing it for the first time. Madders doing an Ali G finger click and Kasper hugging Top. Birch and the tea lady flirting in a canteen that looks like something off a Kubrick set.

[Hales]

I really want to see a film of the players seeing it for the first time. The place looks insane! What a workplace 🥰

I can't believe that some of the players haven't already had a sneaky preview or two during it's build.

Funny you should say that, all staff (playing and non-playing) are being encouraged to work with life coaches/therapists the club are providing in a bid to help change their mentality to reflect this new era. This has been pushed from Rodgers.

Perhaps should be extended to some of the fanbase on FT. 

[Speedwell 🦊]

Before the training ground plans were announced,I never thought in a million years we’d get a facility like that.

The pictures are just breathtaking.

Really exciting times ahead for this football club.

Looking forward to a stadium announcement whenever that will be.

Curious where you heard that. I haven't seen or heard a peep from him about sports psychology since he left Liverpool. Happy days if he's still a believer in the power of psychology. Thoughts create reality and all that. Always looking for an edge.

This post was the news I posted about on this front on here last week ('An announcement is expected later this week').

Hopefully you’ve installed a secret listening device in Brendan’s room, so you can get the inside track in transfer rumours

If that doesn't entice Messi to sign then nothing will.

Plus at least £600k a week

Who wants to tell him?

So we have @Billynomates& John Percy to rely on for news. And thank them we do!
 

The biggest investment in the club’s history, and not a peep from the club. In this respect, that’s hopeless. We are rarely given any reason to knock the senior management at the club, but on this project their comms have been dreadful
