On top of the league fixtures getting piled in before the break, the CL/Europa teams have group games starting 6th September. Those teams are going to be really stretched.

It would take a monumental/catastrophic implosion for us to fuck it up, even with an unenhanced squad:

It's also notable there's no interest, it seems, in any of our players by other clubs, Too many on wages higher than their worth and none wanted or valued on the market, problem shifting them and that's also a negative effect on our FFP.

I am sure they are doing that, within the constraints they have, they won't spend over what they think is the right valuation if, in their opinion, it doesn't deliver sufficient upgrade over what we have. I am chilled whatever happens.

The owners will call the shots in terms of setting the budget, but Ashworth will be running the show now, he's been in place well long enough. Even with current squad (based on performance since Howe arrived) I would expect upper mid-table to be very achievable and a sufficient sign of progress for players, who in the main will move for the best £££ anyway. That said, I trust the powers in charge know better than me and will be happy whatever happens. 34 points to go.

Other than setting the overall budget I would doubt the owners are involved and it's Ashworth/Eales running the show tbh and I do trust they know what they are doing. All well and good spending £40 Mill on a player you think is worth £30 Mill now, but that extra £10 mill comes out of a future pot due to constraints of FFP, if you know that commercial revenues are going to take off (they should) that £10 mill spent today could be the difference between going for/getting a £50/£60 mill player later as your budget increases/FFP becomes easier.

We've signed quite a few compared to years gone by.

Or it's: that's our valuation, take it or leave it, they may tinker with the structure, more up front less as add-ons etc. perhaps that's what they are setting up their position to be, NUFC will offer what they are prepared to pay "take it or leave it".

They are not going to turn Webb around just to get a viewable photo of your tadger mate

Tories have been purged from the Tory party, never mind this board, the cuntservative of today is UKIP on acid.

This going to be mighty confusing when Fish starts his “original, I did it first before PaddockLad” match day thread in about 3 days !!!

Olivia Newton John, greased.

That’s not helping, anyone just reading the thread title and seeing the thread starter will immediately think PaddockLad is amusing, which is obviously a grave misrepresentation of the truth 🙄

This is an outrage, Wiki has to start the match thread, we then tell him his bum looks big in whatever he’s wearing, he deletes the thread in a fit of pique and then, and only then, Fist starts the lucky match thread.

They also shouldn’t be counting any chickens based on beating Bristol City, lad I work with is Hull ST holder, when we were talking last week he said “Bristol City were shit, anyone needs to be shit for us to beat them and they were really really shit”.

Brings whole new meaning to “I wouldn’t be caught dead in that”

Haven’t bought a kit in donkeys years, but I am soooo fucking tempted to get the white one 😂
