    I’m taking a wait and see approach rather than be negative or scared during our best season in yonks…

    the last comment Unai made on this was “it is not a drama”…

    If he’s not worried, I won’t be either…

    Let’s see rather than worry…

    I don't see it as negative. Just reality! Doesn't take a shine off the amazing season so far. Just looking ahead.

    OK Chris

    Keep burying your head in the sand I don't care.

    The finances known are there. They show one clear thing. To comply with bullshit PSR it will happen. Are you ignoring Emery saying as much last week?

    I don’t disagree with you and I’m not desperate to sell anyone other than the players we’ve sent out on loan that we couldn’t organise permanent deals for or those that we struggled to sort either option on.

    Yeah I think you’re right on the loans too, I was just pointing out the options and personnel.

    My main point is that I don’t want us to lose anyone important and don’t believe we need to or that it would actually benefit us if we did. Would do more harm than good imo.

    I don’t believe the FFP talk or scaremongering either, I still think we have capacity for signings but maybe not “big” ones…

     

    The thing with Digne is his age and wages, we’d be foolish NOT to sell if a reasonable offer came in because he is kind of a luxury in that sense. We do need to offload him asap because he is overpaid and won’t be able to sustain performance levels (esp relative to that expense) for many more seasons… if he could agree to a drop in wages that would be fine but highly unlikely…

    We have been foolish in the past for putting players on long contracts and high wages and then struggling to offload them, especially the ageing ones… we really need to find a buyer for Coutinho.

    Mate we have made gigantic losses. Our revenue is tiny compared to the teams around us. One of Luiz, Ramsey, Martinez or Watkins will go.

    It's just reality. Don't do it and we will get deducted points.

  4. We will be selling at least one first team player for sure. Ramsey or Luiz maybe. Anyone who rejects the idea of that is living in some kind of fantasy land.

    It's a matter of who. I guess Ramsey is the easiest to replace overall but we would get more for Luiz, then again Ramsey is pure profit. 

    Either way not going to be fun.

    I just read that Uefa report you mentioned and it scared me.

    Our wages jumped by 38% last season from £139m to £191m. We had extremely high ratio of wages to revenue. Based on that, I would expect player sales for big profit ( someone with zero or low net book value) before we can bring someone in.

    And apparently we made a loss of £118m! Doesn't bode well for this summer. All this rumours about selling JJ might have to come true.

    The Holte Lower was refurbished last season with the addition of the self service, pre-paid and walk through units and the Holte Upper was given a refresh at the start of the season - they've also given a number of kiosks over to concessions like the Pietanic people, the Indian food, the coffee stands and the Chicken thing. There's an awful lot that could be improved on the concourses, but there have been changes.

     

    Can't do anything in the North stand. Which now stays the same. And will cost more again next season no doubt.

    I'm sure I've asked this before, but why do you continue to inflict this torture on yourself? What are you, some kind of masochist?

    Not that I'm complaining or anything - your synopses are pure entertainment.

    I often ask myself these questions. I decided after years of Mind The Gap from the custard bowlers, and the general bitterness/hatred and resentment from the rest of the teams inbred followers, i need to keep listening because if we ever got good again they salt and pain from them would sustain me.

    It really really has.

    Joyous.

    All around general creepy bloke, and sex case/monster, Jason having great bants with DTS 🤮 suggesting that he should go to Amsterdam next week. I shudder at the thought, bloodlust dead prostitutes with their faces cut off and him walking round in a psychedelic rage wearing them plus wanking  in private  booths over midgets whilst laughing incessantly like he does on the radio

    Crime spree incoming. Even prostitutes are disgusted by him and will cry for him to stop.
