Exactly

No idea as to FFP but I think so? It's income at the end of the day. From what I gather the Saudis aren't keen on getting stung on deals and have more than enough cash to see him rot for the next couple of years rather than lose face. I think a compromise will eventually be reached but they'll not give in or bend for anyone. They'll have a price they're happy with and it'll either be met or it won't

Honestly think the demand is there to fill 70k each game if the tickets are priced adequately. I also think that if the sweet-spot is 70k then you may as well build it up to 80k to future proof it should we be really successful, we're only going to (potentially) do this thing once in all of our lifetimes so why cap it at 70k? All that said I'd still prefer the current location or as close as makes no difference. I'll just wait and see and keep my mind open to what's possible and what's not.

I think the situation is the same as it was a month or so ago: 1) They pay the money and he goes 2) They refuse and he sits around doing nothing for another 18 months then he joins for nothing in 2026. Appears we're making moves to replace him so it'll all be a bit moot soon enough. Maybe if they'd done things a little more privately and professionally then he'd already be there by now? All I know is that, as it stands, we currently value Ashworth more than they do and nothing will happen unless they equal our value of him. He's history up here regardless, good luck trying to slow-roll the richest and most ruthless cunts on the planet

I think all we can do now is to just win as may points as we can from the last 6 games and see what it brings us. No worrying or fretting about things beyond our control just focus on us and take the rewards or consequences. 6th and EL? Champion, good for the profile and income. 7th and CL? No bother, good chance of a trophy and a little bit of glory. 7th and no Europe? Bit of a blow but fair enough but we can put all of our efforts into getting top 5 next season without the extra European fixtures. Just need to roll with the punches and try and enjoy it regardless come what may

She's a good woman. She deserves me tbh If it wasn't for the restraining order...

Hope they're ready for the inevitable TripAdvisor pile-on they've just triggered

From wiki: Al-Khelaïfi was honored by ESPN as the seventh most influential individual in the realm of world football in 2015. His influence was further solidified in May 2020 when a France Football ranking positioned him as the most influential personality in the sport. Draw your own conclusions

It's the only doctor that needs a transit van for his patient's medical notes

Unless it's ridiculous money then his worth to us is far more than the £12m(?? or whatever) we'd get for him. Brilliant professional, still top notch RB and his experience on the park is intangible. He had a rough couple of months and was making some shocking mistakes in the Autumn but he seemed to play himself back into form. He's still fit as a fiddle and needs to be kept at most costs

So you can transfer a £76m building/asset from one part of the company but you can't transfer £76m cash from one part of the company to another? Complete layman here but that doesn't seem to make any sense at all

Time for Keano He's just the bloke you need in these situations

This is when I like Carragher. Just analysing footage and explaining systems. No bullshit, no gimmicks, no bantz - just pulling clips up to explain how teams got the results they did. Wish he did more of this and less of his shite
