    It was mint like, I will admit as much as I can't watch the main films I find myself looking forward to this weekend. It's been a year since any serial stuff I watch has been out then this weekend Witcher and Book of Bobba Fet both drop then Last Kingdom in Jan.

    “My name is Uh-tred of Beb-bon-burg” Vikings knocked that off a pedestal for me, both good though

    Wheel of Time is a bit crap on Amazon. Hopefully the Witcher keeps improving.

    I take huffs when my favourite characters get killed off. I liked Ragnor. :emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Loved the games, and the story's. They ****ed the casting up royally for it I felt, and they've ****ed the story a bit. I'm just really hoping it's been a slow burner as these things tend to be whilst introducing characters in a first season.

    I'm easily pleased, give me violence, gore and sex and its a hit.

    Absolutely loved Black Sails.

    I wonder if this means Michael Edwards is joining from Liverpool as Sporting Director? I found it odd that we didn't move quickly to appoint one, then there was the deliberate distancing from Michael Emenalo. Maybe we're just going to use McParland and Brown until Edwards is fully available?

    I would present a case that because the clubs status is very much in limbo for only a short time that there's two possible routes and two levels of appointments in all areas depending on whether the club stays up or not.

    1. Stay up and you can appoint the best
    2. Go down and you appoint the best you can get.

    Why jump in with option 2 when you could just hang fire and take option 1 in only a few months?

    Then the premier league will find a reason to neither pass it or not and do nothing until the window is shut

    Not an issue though. We are will within FFP atm.

    The only issue is for every month the PL delay a decision impacts on our income release to the profit and loss account. If delayed by another month that 3/12 lost already of whatever commercial income we can generate.

    Honestly it'll be much better but this was never about stopping Saudi Sponsorship or was about this 'fair' amount crap.

    The other 18 clubs got what they wanted not the other way around, but can they get away with it is the question now

    The problem will be when we have done what we are going to do and then they try and retrospectively change it.

    Think about it lads.. there are loads of untapped streams the saudi's can plug/sponsor before we need to even start thinking about fair value.
    Stadium naming rights, training ground, stand, shirt sponsorship (they will relegate FUN88 to a secondary sponsor), Bar naming, stand naming, in ground hoardings etc..... they could pump a **** tonne of money in which isn't even there right now.
    Fatty done a good job depressing everything..
