You can't put us finishing down strongly solely to Bruno, our run started on Boxing day with we drew win Man U, and from the next 8 games we won 5 and drew 3, going from 10 points to 28 and from 19th place to 14th. Bruno made occasional injury time appearances in these games and had nothing to do with the results. This run (which Wood was key to), gave us momentum to finish the season strongly when Bruno came in.
Almost feels like you should go and knock one out over Wood. "which Wood was key to"?!?! I'll have whatever he's smoking.
Yes I thought something was off and I thought it had to be the two had been turned off by PIF which is fine because they can’t just keep chucking money at it. The club look like we have facilitated a way of releasing the money early which we tie the commercial deals up with the PL which quite frankly is again restrictions to trade. But this makes sense.
Whether you like it or not Wood played a role in games that started us off on the run. Putting it solely down to Bruno is factually incorrect, he only started in games towards the end of the season.
It will be interesting who our shirt sponsor will be next season. I fully expect it to be upwards of 40m a season. Liverpool have just signed a 95m a season deal with standard chartered. So this has raised the bar even higher. I can’t justify a similar level of deal but half or 2/3 would be bona fide because to be able to compete and to not break rules the PL can’t block it.
We have borrowed up all our income from the PL for this season. Instantly releasing around 120m of cash. The stumbling block is the coffers are dry because the PL have blocked our deals. So now we can spend and they can’t stop it.
I reckon it's Noon.com mate. I reckon they were lined up to do it this year and visit Botswana was the sleeve sponsor until we couldn't kick Fun88 out and then they opted to go Noon.com as sleeve sponsor.
We have borrowed against this years TV money and ticket money in advance from HSBC. Same thing a number of clubs have done like Forrest, Everton, West Ham etc. Allows us to go smash the granny out the rest of the window without ****ing PL rules or FFP using clubs own money without diluting shares. https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/...f612ac425abd620533c1f8baa65b24537ab3dc4faa9d9
