  1. This is purely a cashflow thing and has nothing to do with FFP which is done on accounting profits or losses. Its not our owners doing something smart to get around FFP (as I have seen mentioned in some places) this cash is an advance on income for the year, if next year our expenses are more then our income and that totals more than is allowed under FFP (lots of articles out there that tell us how much we are allowed to lose in the next few years) then we will fall foul of FFP. The question is why do we need to get an advance on cash if we have rich owners who can loan it to us or provide cash injections as they did when they first took over to fund the January transfer window. In my view them doing this isn't concerning. They may have got a good interest rate and one that is favourable to PIF using their own cash. Its likely they will use a combination of advances and their own cash going forward. Any arms length sponsorship deals are separate and will help with FFP as well as cashflow. They will help with FFP as our income will increase meaning we can spend more money on wages, and players (amortised through the P&L). They will help with cashflow as hopefully they will be for more money then we receive now. In summary this is almost certainly part of their business plan when they bought the business and nothing to worry about.
  2. Going to watch them today with a cov mate. To say he's seriously pissed off about the whole situation would be an understatement!
  3. Both good Yeah admittedly it wasn't the most in depth or insightful interview!
  4. Met Pards this morning by the Ritz. When I asked him about signings he just said that was the reason he was down here in London. Must be for Remy surely? Oh and he says he doesnt have much to do with Joe Kinnear on a day to day basis at all.
  5. if you look at the whole game Simpson was arguably our best player....kept chamberlaine in his pocket. On a side note did anybody else just want Krul to smash RVP in the face?!

    i like him to be honest. Obviously i'd have like to have signed a #9 striker but in all honesty the only striker that I really wanted us to sign over the summer, who we were linked with, was Gameiro. There is a lot of dross around at the moment and although our strikers dont get us excited the way they have in previous years, the fact is in most games we are going to be playing five midfielders. Not sure what my point is but ba and best will do a job until we find a quality striker for the price we are willing to pay. If we continue dealing like we have ben arfa and cabaye I reckon we can get a really good striker to suit our system and not one that we are buying for the sake of it.
  7. I fucking hate liverpool. that is all.
  8. i am torn between wanting to see ferguson play and hopefully seeing the ameobi's on the pitch together!! against this overwhelming feeling that we are going to get stuffed even worse then kilmarnock currently are!!
