Iirc Ashworth was one of the best paid in the league so you’d imagine it would be a canny rise for him.

They will be absolutely fuming if he joins Saudi fc then.

Big salary, long contract and don’t need to move house. Very appealing.

Don’t worry, we won’t be selling for chicken feed. Would take something jaw dropping to us to even consider it.

Cracking win that,

Tosin and Kelly are such no brainers

It always happens on here, someone does well against us and they suddenly become amazing. And again, I’m not say Friedman is bad or anything like that; just echoing KI sentiments. Either way if we appoint him I’ll be fully behind him.

Nope it’s totally fair, this forum suffers from recency bias and are over ratting him due to us being smashed by them. Palace have been in the league forever and never made any progress beyond mid table. before I’m jumped on I’m not saying he’s bad or anything like that but again, nothing to suggest he’s elite or best in class at this stage.

If they can get the others to agree to it the FFP limit would be raised and they’d avoid being punished.

Hopefully he can bring his Georgian mate with him.

Uefa don’t give out stringer punishments so maybe that’s a factor? Or maybe it’s as a suggested as city are playing politics? Drop the charges or we blow this wide open? edit. Also, Uefa aren’t the ones restricting income, if the PL are knocking back sponsorships this hurts them both domestically as well as in Europe. Lots of food for thought though.

From what I heard anchoring hasn’t passed yet, they will explore it more by consulting directly with the PFA now. It will also be open to legal challenge. The league is such a mess, they used to pass rules by consensus they’d get everyone on board and pass rules without issues, now they try to strong arm and it might come back to bite them

Yeah, these are factors why I’m unsure as well. I mean what value do Sela get out of this deal with us? How does sponsorship of us help Sela? Noon is a bit different as they actually exists and selling iirc. If you remember shortly after the takeover it did seem as if they were intent on raising our profile in MENA I wonder if @McCormick could chime in and let us know if that’s still the case?

You can’t compare because they had no limits on what they could and couldn’t do. Also the league is much more competitive now and revenue gap with the financial restrictions are obscene. We are half of spurs I think people don’t realise how much of a gap that is and how hard it is to bridge.

If city get rid of RPT rules then it’s over for the PL it will kill FFP as they can just park losses at whatever market values they like on clubs who don’t even matter But part of me wonders if city are making threats to horse trade and politic.
