  1. We send Jarrad, we get Rowe + 30m.
  2. Most football fans remain loyal for the rest of their lives. Yes, they are often brought in by the hype especially during their younger days. I would say that if Man City suddenly fell off a cliff and became a regular mid table team, their fanbase would not see a significant decline for at least one generation, which is about 25-30 years. Just my thoughts.
  3. Gaza is 365 sq. km. Israel has a superior and technically advanced army. If they wanted to end this quickly and efficiently they could infiltrate Gaza with tanks from all sides and kill whoever stays in their way. They could seize control of the whole strip in a matter of days. But they chose to bomb from outside, even though we know and they know that Hamas fighters are hiding in underground bunkers. They cannot do much harm to Hamas this way. It is obvious that the whole plan is to exterminate Palestinians and the Western world is cheering them on.
  4. I don't rate him either. He's on £150k per week, and we should be prepared to pay, because other clubs will be willing to pay his wages in full. That makes £7.5 million, and it is a lot for a player on loan. I would rather use that money for someone like Garner, who cost us just a bit more but on lower wages and became an actual asset to the club right away. Also, transfer values can be offset to ease with PSR; the wages can not. So another James Garner type of signing is better for our current financial situation than Kevin Phillips on loan.
  5. I got all names but 5 and 10 from the players.
  6. Moshiri apparently gives zero fucks about the club's future. He will sell to whoever pays his asking price.
  7. So there's still time for 777 to borrow money they don't have, get the shares, put the club into administration, sell every asset that can be sold, and spend the rest of their lives peacefully on a sunny island. Sounds great.
  8. I'm the opposite. I specifically want oil money. It holds the highest value in football. With oil money, you can win trophies and avoid PSR. It's a win-win.
  9. At this point, my only hope is that the crooked Premier League rejects 777. I don't care if they win all their legal cases, their reputation alone is damaging to the club. Moshiri seems to not care, but only wants his money back. We are so fucked.
  10. You might think that if players are out of contract, they are up for grabs. However, if there are other clubs interested, it will be difficult to snatch them. Moreover, we should be prepared to offer competitive salaries along with signing bonuses. It is Telwell's job to identify lesser-known players from inferior leagues who can be signed for cheap but still offer good value for money.
  11. You're going into details that we don't know if they're applicable in this case. Still, I don't see the point, especially since the loans for the majority of the construction were secured. Either way the club owes that money plus interest. In my opinion, it is best for the stadium to start operating as soon as possible and begin generating revenue. Additionally, this stadium is a huge asset that could eventually be sold to cover the obligations. Getting a massive loan and abandoning / delaying indefinitely your investment plans is far worse from a financial standpoint. Valencia did something similar to what you suggested, and it has not been going well for them for over 15 years already. But they are lucky to be playing in an inferior league and have avoided relegation numerous times.

  12. It was a poor piece of business from the start. I believe we were desperate and he wasn't even our fifth choice. Considering his stats at Udinese, in an inferior league, it seems we've been ripped off. There are plenty of similar players in the French league who could perform just as poorly for under 5 mil. At one point we were linked with Serhou Guirassy from Rennes, who ultimately moved to Stuttgart for a bag of sunflower seeds and is currently tearing up the German Bundesliga.
  13. When Usmanov was sanctioned the loan deals had already been finalized along with agreements with Laing O'Rourke and other subcontractors. At that point there was no turning back or putting the construction on hold.
  14. Do you really think our squad is better than our current position in the table, considering the six points lost in arbitration?
