The stupidest part to PSR in my mind is the three year cycle applies to your losses AND profits. You can't 'bank' profits. So we basically lost the Jarrod Bowen sale benefits because the Allams didn't want to push the boat out. So they just evaporate. If we sat on our hands and turned a profit for the next three years, then in the fourth year the profit we made in the first year drops out of the calculation. We don't get to bank it to use at a later point. So in a way we're actually encouraged to burn through the Philogene and Greaves money over the next three years, which seems the opposite of sustainable.
all the players who came in January did it to play for rosenior and took pay cuts etc and they’re parent clubs paid the majority anyway I know cos I was told so on here by experts
He’s a bag of **** With the greatest respect hes a bag of **** “I’ve shagged your wife” “You ****” “with the greatest respect, I’ve shagged your wife” “Yeah that’s fine, fancy a pint”
with the team we had and the position we were in at Christmas we should have been in the Premier League now, which is where a number of our players are heading or returning to - don't feel sorry for Rosenior, he was a major part of the problem and the reason we are where we are today - has anyone snapped up our ex young talented manager who we should never have sacked - it's all gone very quiet
I think actually Buckingham in the athletic said it Chazz. He said carvalho only cost us 500k or something.
I was talking to a former teacher friend yesterday who in the past taught the kids in the academy at Southampton. (As an aside also taught Mane English). He said about 5 percent of the academy make it through to a professional contract with Southampton but pretty much all the ones they release go on to a good career in football. I have no issue with picking up players from the top academies and hope one day we could establish a Category 1 academy and emulate Southampton.
This bit jumped out .... " ....I think we have a very good team..." Eh? No we don't. We barely have a team, and if that team played we'd be nailed on for relegation. I pulled up Rosenior on his comment about 'leaving a great foundation'. He didn't at all. And the picture has got far worse since then now that we have seen who else, in addition to all those loanees and released players, has left or are still to leave, and seen that we actually had no chance of re-signing the likes of Delap, Carvahlo, and Morton, and that there are no early signings, etc. I'm sure they'll somehow pull it around by the end of the window, but that still doesn't mean it isn't currently a **** show.
Don't shoot the messenger but the 2 names I'm hearing .... Gordon Zola Mo Zarella. Zola is no for me, imo would stink the place out. Mo is a decent, versatile option. Muslin socks firmly on.
I’m really concerned people thought we were going to spend the big out of the transfer fees we are accumulating now. Nowhere has it said we won’t be spending on players, just that we are taking a more refined approach looking for value in the free agent market etc. We should’ve done this 2 years ago and it’s absolutely the right approach when you need to bring in 8/10 permanent players alone
Here we go. Called it weeks ago. Not saying it would be a bad thing, as good as he has been at times. But just makes the enormous task even more ...err.. enormouser.
Is an interesting one as he’s probably our highest paid player but under Walter we seem to be moving away from needing a midfielder like him. I’ve always wondered how much we are actually paying him to be here given he didn’t even want to come in the first place really
Should have been in the Premier League ? Based on what ? You think we had a better team than Leeds and Southampton ?
