These losses of 105 million over a 3 year period should increase with inflation.

I don't know when these figures were set but wages keep increasing as do transfer fees. I reckon loads of clubs are just treading water.

It's the fans that suffer ultimately.

If they were deducted 10 points for the 1st Breach then that's what Forest can expect.

2nd time should be another 10 points minimum.

That's how I see it.

For context, in the first week after signing Zlatan, Man Utd generated £76m in additional revenue...

Know what it was when they resigned Ronaldo?

Would Villa have any chance of Messi now we have Adidas?

Would make business sense!

Curious to know who " Balabans Boot cleaner " is now.

He says he's been a designer for 20 years etc. 

How is he getting info... wonder if he's connected to the process?

If it's that good crest, I assume by application it will be some sort of rubber adhesive etc.

If the digital version is the more detailed one as well it will actually be ok.

More why he won't show it all just random angles!

Kompany really having a blast at VAR mentioning our game a lot!  

They will have the Club World Cup every 2 years or is it 4 years?  That's all the best teams from all the confederations.

A month of football for people to fly in for from all parts of the world.

Unai just said Bertie and Callum Chambers are the only ones that he will let go.   If they move on maybe we can get someone in.

Unsure if this has done the rounds already. Better with no shadow and a bit of gold. 

If they could get a gold lion onto a shirt then maybe just maybe.

very much against any sort of trivialisation of our logo. I think by nature we're a grown up club, we're old money, the aristocracy

Exactly this it's our USP if you want funky hipster badges then we could introduce a fashion line but anything the club wears on the pitch should echo what OBE says here.

Big game Sunday at Goodison we know The Don will have been working all week on a plan.

Players will be all in for this one then a nice little warm weather team bonding/training 10 days.

Each game as it comes our away form has been up and down so The Don will be working on consistency.

We are so lucky to have him.

Right then, do adidas use the originals logo on their kits or the stripes

Trefoil on Elite Teams 3rd Shirts only apparently.

As a round badge die hard even I think that's not bad!  Very Retro.

Back at the start of the prem with the laces kit was the first time in my life we had a shield i thought it was a nod to the past one season only. The away kit had the round badge.

So why could we not have both like that again?

Shield on Home, Round on Away.  Everyone is happy!

Still have to sort out a decent shield mind you

Where have you seen that? That looks like a tremendous deal!

Just my imagination but logical

I’ll be shocked if it’s the same ballpark as Newcastle, in fact I’d be stunned if ours was anymore than £25m per season and I think even that much would be a stretch imo.

It will be a tiered deal standard 15 million per season.  20 for Conference 25 Europa and 30 for Champions League.

Sensible from both parties.

They showed him on TV going to his seat next to Mcginn and other subs

Maybe he came back out but as the rest of the players went to the bench from being subbed he went down the tunnel might have needed a shit  

Straight down the tunnel after being subbed.  Not sure if they showed it on TV I am at the game.

Surely he starts tomorrow in the cup.  Can't see us loaning him out unless we have someone lined up.

Man Utd no one comes close utter rocket polishers always were and always will be.

Thats not even a foul, never mind a red

Misses the game against us though!

Same as the Mee tackle on Bailey studs up is not allowed.

if I can use the classic footballer analogy, he really needs a pre-season.

If he's a footballer he's Ross McCormack came in with the hopes of firing us to glory but took the piss and used bullshit excuses.

The fella whose missus work for the club suggests we put an offer in for a “ huge” name player.
