You can also do what Man City and Chelsea do, which is buy talented youngsters from overseas that cost buttons. Develop them knowing they are unlikely to ever play for the club and then sell them on for inflated fees because you have the best youth set ups so everyone just assumes the kids are class. I think the profit is the key measure (stand to be corrected) - So selling Longstaff for £20m would be more favourable than selling Isak for say £75m as it is pure profit of £20m and we'd only get £15m of profit selling Isak for £75m since we paid £60m for him. That's my limited understanding of it like and it could be wrong.

Bournemouth, Liverpool, Everton, Wolves - a quick Google search shows that of the 20 teams currently in the PL 15 have majority owners from outside of the UK. Strange then that a survey looking at foreign investment in football would 100% focus on just one of them....

No, because that was blocked by the PL and delayed the takeover quite some time while the legal team of our owners ran rings around the charlatans representing the PL.

"Hi, I am a mackem living in Dublin and I am just looking for some ammunition to take back to RTG as we're running woefully short of decent material. Any chance you could fill this questionnaire in for me please, marras?"

still trying to work through it for you Keego 👍

Happy to help

TT welcome in 3.....2.....1......

I avoided it by faking my death in a canoe accident.

Maybe the bizzies have got the social involved given how both parents stunk of stale booze, piss and had powder burns all over their nostrils

"he's like a new signing" *shudders thinking about the Pardew days*

So the social services involvement sounds like it's a ropey slag trying to get one over on a ropey scouse cunt. Standard council estate craic tbf. I grew up around this shit, and saw many a neighbour get a knock at the door because one parent had grassed the other during a barney That said it sounds like the kid would be better off in the foster system if that's how both parents behave like. Neither sound fit or worthy to look after the poor bairn. 31 and he's going on like that is pathetic mind - He's only a few years younger than me and pretty much everyone I know / grew up with had wrapped in the 'lad' shit by about 23-24.

Not quite a red, but an easy yellow that one

If getting pissed and shouting at the telly during the match is social services worthy then I'm (and presumably most of the people on this board with kids) walking a fucking tightrope. That said, I don't do drugs and I am making an assumption that the drink and drugs are not match specific for this lad and he's bumping coke off prossies arses on a late Wednesday eve match or no match. If he's older than 22-23 then he needs a fucking slap, especially with a bairn at home. Some people are so hell bent on being 'lads' that they can't see that they look like epic thundercunts to everyone else. I don't think he gives a shit about the kid tbh, if he did he would never be doing the shit he's been doing. You don't go "I bucked three lasses over the weekend" and then "I miss my family" in the same breath - it doesn't track. This lad seems like a bit of a dick tbh

They are trying to figure out a way for Man City to get a slap on the wrist whilst also protecting themselves from a dry bumming, legally speaking, from Everton.

Aye, I'll piss myself if by tea time there is accusations of anti-competition levelled at the PL and the rules are suddenly reviewed. It isn't going to happen like.

I thought it was shite, personally. Harlan Coben has basically written one story - changed the names and locations a bit and sold it as a shit tonne of books. I don't think he's alone in doing this tbf to him, but I think the samey feel is across all of the adaptations. Safe was good, the stranger was decent but by the time I tried to watch this (purely for Keegan if truth be told) I felt like I'd already seen it a few times. I saw the twist (there's always a fucking twist) coming a mile away.

I wonder if Zaro is still checking in on this thread in absolute bewilderment. The cunt still hasn't told us how he wipes his arse.

I want them to avoid a points deduction, purely and utterly to see the reaction of the Everton fans. It's already funny seeing them hold up their shitty little "corrupt" signs, it would be even funnier if those signs were dotted with the tears of the blue mackems. That said, for consistency Man City should really have the book thrown at them with at least a 10 point deduction - they won't, but they should.

Season 1 of From was class. Season 2 felt like it struggled along a bit at times but ended really well IMO.

I reckon even if they were stripped of the titles officially I doubt their fans would give a shit. They still have the memories. So, even if we blow billions in the summer, win the league and then the CL only to be stripped of them and relegated to the Conference North I'd still remember the successes even if they aren't officially recognised. Also, imagine how fucking good Joelinton would be in the conference man. He'd smash them all to bits.

Is RTG in full blown tin foil hat mode making insane assumptions that this is MPs telling the PL to stop pissing on Saudi chips?

So he's perfect to ring in the next generation of national disappointment for England.

Wood did score a hattrick for them against us tbf. Also, I think he's done okay for them since signing. The Shelvey one is hilarious though.

It's certainly a mitigating factor but he's just massively unsuited to the role tbf. He's a great centre back, but a rubbish CDM.
