Love how Liverpool have managed to stretch out the Coutinio money 
We'll doku replaced drunken jack and he's still there.
He probably won't go, he'll get about 10games this season now pep realised he's not a system robot.
The blanket Silence from all as city do another billion on transfers while under investigation for something they have already been found guilty of by UEFA is a joke tho.
So you are just chatting **** again, accompanied by a river of tears.
Good to see Pep lives rent free in your head, even when it is preseason lol.
He has kind of got a point mind.
Loads of spotlight on clubs for FFP and PSR and whatever other bollocks they can invent but only police while it suits, and yet City and Chelsea just spend what they want, freely, in plain sight.
What's the point in having all thse stupid acronym rules and then do **** all? Might as well stop ****ing pretending.

Yeah a point he cries about daily.
They probably will never do anything about it, but since when did fans start getting interested in financial rules, the days we started paying men millions of pounds to play a game of football is the day any rules went out the window.
it was probably no different in Clough's day, when little brown envelopes were being handed out under the table. Yes I exaggerate but it's not that far from the truth. 1992 saw a change that was meant to improve English football, it didn't, it just made people greedier and selling their souls to get to the top.
Do you think I care as lower league fan what Pep or his owners are doing, when I see a Championship now split in two due to parachute payjments, then when they come down another league (L1) clubs like mine can't compete.
Now my lot have got American owners, who have more money than the last owner, it's all got beyond caring, until players wages are capped along with the transfer fee's I don't care what the rules are.
Goodluck to Man City and Pep I say and **** the rest them, if you can't beat them, join them.
They need better lawyers, but it's good to spot where all the tears emanate from...Pep took your trophies, never mind.
It was the greed of all the top Prem clubs that led to the state we are in today, no one cried when the likes of Bury FC disappeared as a conseuqence to the continued greed.
Yeah Man City made that even worse, but the damage was done long before they came along by ridiculous transfer fees and wages...

All the names are there, £80M for Maguire ffs ...
The fans of a small northern club deserved better than to witness their club destroyed by bad management and financial speculation...
Football is about more than money, however much lucre has come to shape the beautiful game. Over this summer, English top-tier clubs had spent a total of £1.41bn, with Manchester United shelling out a world record fee on a defender of £80m for Leicester City’s Harry Maguire. Yet these amounts and the teams that spend them are symptoms of an unsentimental business model that is indifferent to tradition, place and practice. It is eroding the sense that many football clubs are a central and vital part of people’s identity.
That is why the end of Bury Football Club after 134 years is important. Before it was shut, 400 supporters had volunteered to mop and sweep the Gigg Lane ground hoping to show that the true value of their football club cannot be counted in pounds and pennies. Bury FC was the town’s pride until 5pm on Tuesday. The club disappeared after prospective buyers said that there were “systemic failings” that could not be overcome. With capitalism increasingly dominating community as the driving force in modern football, other clubs could risk a similar fate.

I loved the bit about Spurs in there
