Maybe the decision to let Livermore go was due to Omar refusing to play without having the number 14. Something needed to give.
Yes.Is this the same tweet Yorkshire Post did yesterday?
Who got it in first?
You've lost me.
Where does everyone think that this leaves Elmo?
He's back in 3/4 weeks. Silva's signed a full back and wants 2 wingers.
If our wage bill is at around £50m, let's take off £10m to cover the coaches and young kids. That means each player is on an average of just over £30k pw. That's an awful lot for the quality we have.
I'm not, I'm stating facts. Ehab is an absolute tool but in him saying we aren't a selling club, he's correct we aren't. And regarding this transfer window, it was always going to take time to get players because MS had to assess what we had first before he knew what we needed. Again just facts.
We've got almost 170 staff.
They were the lowest two numbers (other than 1, which has been vacated by McGregor), but there's plenty of higher numbers, Evandro took 40.
Burnley's wage bill is meant to be around 40% lower than ours and they have a well balanced squad.
Considering most the staff are on peanuts too
I make it 20 first team players who are currently available, though one or two of them might be injured for Sunday and four of them have never started a game for us...

With the right manager who knows how to keep him happy, there is a decent striker in there. 15mil is quite cheap considering before he turned into a sulk, he was been courted by some of the bigger teamsStoke have agreed a £15m deal to sign Saido Berahino from West Brom.
That's what I can never understand
1- we have a very very small squad (by premier league standards)
2- we have a sensible wage structure (c40k /week max)
So how the **** do we have a wage bill equal to other clubs with 50% more players that pay more. Something's wrong here
Again we sold Livermore this bloody morning! Give MS chance to bloody spend it!Yes and its called the Asset Stripping Allams - all becoming crystal clear now imho. Converting Allamhouse debt into bank debt it seems, selling proven players for large chunks and not reinvesting the proceeds (don't forget Livermore's wage sets off against incoming wages for loan signings so the 10m is free cash flow) - all points one way now. ****ing ****s.
Omar had 22 on his training kit in the video on YouTube.
Is 14 his official number then?
