Generic small time football blather thread FOREVER

They never looked this bad under Ole iirc. This is terrible news, I'm proper gutted I was hoping for another full season of Ten Hag, maybe another one or two truly rotten signings. But at least with how Ineos have done so far there's hope for more comedy in the future. -

Also shows how confident ManU hierarchy are about their FA Cup chances, doing all this of days before the final You'll always be fondly remembered Erik. I can't think of anyone else who's ever made a billion pound team look so rubbish. -
Well all this is has shown is that the mighty US of A is the place to be for meaningless friendlies.

He's 22 though. I agree it's still probably a little bit of a concern for potential suitors.

DCL would be absolutely insane, Wilson's injury record with less goals. Some upgrade. Don't think there's much in this story, its CN after all, but I'm with Gloom on Bowen. He's going to cost more than he's worth. Olise might be a better shot for that kind of money and he's much younger so you have sell on value.

I thought Rogue One was pretty decent, probably the best thing they've put out in recent decades. Andor runs it close.

Didn't he play for a couple of the completely unmemorable PL clubs too? Everton?

90M Chelsea bid incoming

I want to know how he tried to delete that email. Did he try to delete it from his sent items folder?

Chelsea btw I was just thinking the other day that they could be a problem for us next season too if they're smart in the summer window. This is a brilliant move and hopefully resets the progress of the last 6 months, Please please let Slot be a clown too. Can't wait for next season -

They can't assume that when UEFA and others are struggling to prove anything right? Imagine a EY/KPMG partner walking up to the City board with all their connections, and saying "Erm, you're in the news for being dodgy, so we're going to conduct a forensic investigation and charge you a couple of extra mil this year". Completely unfathomable even for lower profile companies than City and it's owners. Most large companies have a number of open cases they're fighting at any given time, auditors give them a cursory glance to the extent they are likely to affect the financial statements. That's mainly it. Let's say the situation was more clear cut, with City fined and being looked into by government authorities, in that case the firm would have protocols based on risk, from withdrawing completely to amending scope and limiting liability to cover their arses. Very rare. -

Having spent years in one, it doesn't necessarily work that way. 1. Statutory audits and other audit engagements aren't designed to detect fraud, if you pick up official audit engagement paperwork you'll see disclaimers around that. 2. Auditors and big firms know the sum of feck all usually, they occupy themselves with filling checklists and forms, and rarely know much about whats really going on at the company. They also dont want to upset their big money clients. Big firms are routinely fined millions of dollars for lack of care and substandard work, just google it if you wish. -

Definitely not going to forget about this from next season

A season when we've had to go up against almost everything that lady luck and more have had to throw against us. 7th is pretty decent. Slightly disappointing in the end since we were in the driving seat barely a week ago, but we gota keep perspective. Back Howe in the market, he's what makes this team what it is. He's the man who'll get us that first trophy. Brilliant season coming up.
