Aye, the idea behind FFP was supposed to be that we wouldn't see clubs taking on massive levels of debt and risking their existence like Leeds did. So while we have clubs like ours who could easily spend £1bn and not incur a penny of debt we have clubs like Barcelona with a debt of over £1bn still winning La Liga and Man U with similar debt but able to spend over £100m in transfers every season. It's a joke and I'm surprised that no one has challenged it under EU law.

Congratulations to @Isegrim for getting published!

I don’t think he ever had any intention of selling the stadium naming rights. It was just another free advertising opportunity for the business he actually cared about. There wasn’t a square inch of the ground that wasn’t covered with that minging sports direct logo.

Still time to get plenty of shagging in.

Check out Tommy Robinson over here.

Bournemouth wanting £50m for Solanke is like me wanting sexy time with Emily Blunt. Wanting not getting.

Unhinged. There is clearly an awful shift to fascism on the right. In Germany a meeting got uncovered where right wing figures fantasised about repatriating people on the ground of nationality and ideology. It is like the 1920s leading to the 1930s all over again.

bournemouth will apparently want up to £50m for solanke. i know strikers don't come cheap but surely there is better value to be found elsewhere? this is the first season that he's consistently scored goals at this level. feels like a punt, particularly given the FFP constraints

don't like the smarmy cunt. obviously watches too much strictly judging by how many times he mentions 'the journey' not to be trusted. fuck off.

He's versatile - he's shite in multiple positions.

I would legitimately prefer we brought Ayoze Perez back in on loan than that mental fat cunt

Well if anything is going to bring Noelie back from the dead that'll be it.

Mitrovic on loan is an option that we’re exploring according to Downie

To who? wyki’s missus?

Seems a bit rich to constantly complain about FFP and seemingly only focus attention on the hyper inflated English player market

Only 4 of them would bring in any sort of decent cash for me. Botman, Bruno, Joelinton and Isak. I'll pick Wilson to avoid having to pick one of them.

I’m amazed Al-Kebab of the Saudi pro league haven’t come in with a £40m bid for Miggy

The Sports Direct Arena (for no money) was one thing. But I’m sure we’d all tolerate Sela St James’ Park for an extra £50m a season or whatever. Everyone would still call it SJP so who gives a shit?

Exactly. The money from Sela as well as increased income because of playing in the CL will show in the next accounts.

Tbf that’s pretty decent progress in a short amount of time. Especially when you think of how far we’d fallen behind under Ashley. Also, this current year would be a significant improvement on that, wouldn’t it?

They say late at night, you can hear the mournful cries of "CUNT..." echoing around the graveyard

Mate, it's "immoral".

I’m getting stupider reading their posts, and I didn’t have a lot going on to start with

Gemmill, Renton, Paddock Lad, Christmas Tree, ewerk, even Tom. Well I mean life is a terminal disease. If we're going to start putting in people who are not actually dead, where to draw the line?

Imagine companies like Facebook (meta or whatever they're called) Google, X all coming together and pushing for a law to say that companies are only allowed to spend a certain amount. It basically keeps them at the top table. That's probably a really shit analogy but I know what I mean

Found this whilst out walking this morning, so if anyone has lost an elastic band, please get in touch.

I’m not having that Bramble couldn’t pass btw. The big dopey cunt could knock 80 yard rakers one minute and throw a hand grenade at Given the next

Saw a link and translation of his thoughts on his time here, seemed to hate it and the country in general and said 'the crowd would go nuts in Argentina for great bits of skill but they would have a wank over getting a corner'. Or words very close to that.

This is all bullshit for me because we shouldn't be looking to sell. But ... there's no way Wilson, Schar or Pope would command big enough money to give us the sort of wiggle room we're after in the market. Willock too is no guarantee given the disruption to his season. What could we realistically hope to get for Wilson? And from who? He's a massive risk for anyone looking to buy a striker. Unless we ship him off to Saudi. I put Bruno for a few reasons. Firstly, there appears to be a desire from some truly massive clubs to bring him in so there's buyers. Secondly, there's a minimum release clause in place that shuts down much of the bullshit about what he's to be sold for if he were to be sold. If he were sold for around 100m we could reinvest an enormous amount (4x/5x the transfer fee or so when considering amortisation) to get 3-4 players of potentially his quality into the club in multiple positions. That is actually a potential game-changer. Selling anyone else is not in the same ballpark and not to be considered the type of game-changer that selling Bruno would be. (Apart from Isak, but I think Isak is actually completely off the table because for the most part strikers are more difficult and more expensive to replace.) Mind you, I'm not convinced that selling someone is on our agenda (unless it is for ridiculous money). I think we are still nowhere near our revenue ceiling with more money to come in from sponsorships for this that and the other. Hopefully, we can hold off for a few more seasons and keep building the squad before we start thinking about selling off one of our key assets. We should sell Matt Ritchie to Al-Oilalala FC for 80m. Then invest 20m in lawyers and the rest in the squad. Easy peasy.

ARE YOU WATCHING RAFA?

We absolutely will challenge FFP, FMV and whatever other bullshit there is going forward IMO. Probably just a case of keeping the old head down until we collect enough commercial revenue to strengthen our case

If (we wont IMO) drop £50m on Solanke then the FFP stuff is just mad. I cannot see us dropping £50m on him.

Thank fuck for that.

it’s a fake account. Nice nip shot though.

Daniel Cordone briefly looked like a player, then lengthily not so much.

Other Interests I am the junior vice president of the bandage appreciation society, having joined as an apprentice bandage appreciator in the summer of 2019. I am an avid headband enthusiast. I am heavily involved in the receipt of free watches at the metro centre. I am on the waiting list to be appointed moderator of a thread on an NUFC message board for a player I love, but who never justified that love. About me I don't get caught up in the trivial things such as tracking back or end product. I am all about the stepovers, bandages and constant injuries. I hate people who track back, score goals and get assists. It makes it worse when they look like the HIV has took a hold of Rod Stewart - people like that make me sick. I call them headless chickens (lol). Please give me a job at your bandage and headband factory.

If I was his granddaughter or his dog, I'd be seriously worried.

When you say crosshairs, do you mean the when you go on excel and do borders inside 4 cells and none on the outside?

The best midfielders do not necessarily equate to the best midfield. Willock has been a massive miss to us with his running and ability to link the midfield with attack.

Guess the poster who has too much time on their hands?

Lee Ryder / Nefilim was quoted as saying: "I've got a full head of hair first and foremost...It's in this Heron's bag and attached to me ma's heed, but it still counts"

I'm pleased for him he's not cut up about it or has any rage. (Also pleased we won which denied him tearing it off by the root had the scoreline been the other way).
