About as expected so far. Their goal was very well taken, but we've controlled the game for the most part. They're gonna have to go all out now though, I expect us to park the bus and counter.

This is a bit silly.... Change scorer to DCL

Bit annoyed he's dropped Chermiti but I glad to see DCL back

Exactly. He's following a Stones-like future and that is why he'll still command a big fee.

-122 fewer seats with 40% of the votes counted...

Oh I know. I just don't see us having many funds for signing on fees for the free transfers

They're going to go full throttle so I'm assuming we just sit back and hit on the counter.

8 in?! I'll have what you're having mate

That's the May games fucked then.

Agree, but I don't think we'll be signing more than 2-3 more than we sell.

I didn't say you had. I'm pointing out that it's a factor that also played a part in making this season harder than it needed to be. Despite that we should be sitting on 12th. 12th! Again, not good enough long term but a massive improvement on the previous 2 years despite the shit run. No,based on the last few years, few of our remaining fixtures were "expected to win" games going on recent times. Absolutely expected to wins back in the 80s tough, just a shame we've only really got 2-3 really good players.

Have been?

Yeah, I've had a lot of patience considering the big picture. Regardless of the bad run, he took over a squad with no morale or organisation, had it weakened, takeover chaos and points deductions, survived the previous 2 seasons by minutes and have got them to perform to a mid table level (minimum) even after the drama following the slap heard around the world. Is it good enough forever? Absolutely not. Is it good enough for now? Considering everything, yes. Sometimes it's been exciting, most of the time dull as fuck, out of necessity in my eyes. But yeah, all things considered, good and ugly, I think he's done very very well.

Thought the same despite the poor run

Hadn't heard of this, thanks!

That's called critical thinking apparently

Fair enough. I'm not that confident in our owner when it comes to finances so I'm biased.

Well why else would Moshiri laden the club he's trying to sell with more debt when he's easily capable of funding the running himself?

The payment is to keep the club running because the current owner won't is my understanding

That's what part of what the 777 money is currently for as I understand. Moshiri closed the taps off.

Who represented 70% of the actual staff I believe

Oh I do. Basic things like not having money to hand for purchase for a start.
