    Tbf Amanda's communication was great but allegedly she's the one getting the blame for the psr debacle. If true, then maybe less communication is better until it's all sorted.

    It’s weird that football has become more about Sporting Directors, PSR, sponsorship deals and CEOs than it has the ****ing stuff on the pitch.

    Forest have already broken rules to get where they are and their owner has never turned down seconds in his life.

    Newcastle now 15th highest revenue across Europe, so things are going very well.

    Maybe it's an intentional tactic/gamble. They will have their best season ever (in the PL era), then get shunted down the league via points deductions, yet still end up with their highest ever finish in the PL.

    Yeah in theory I guess they would still get CL because any points deductions would only likely be identified as part of the next set of accounts. Maybe that's the gamble, take the hit in PL next iseason for qualifying for CL.

    Hopefully they buy Cunha and sell us Elanga for half the price.

    Which player and how does this training ground impact the stadium (ie will it be a new one?)

    Maybe we'll get those commercial deals through now!?

    Allegedly, us playing hardball over Lloyd Kelly means Juve will instead turn to Todibo from West Ham on loan.

    We also won't sign Trafford because we convinced Dubravka (wtf) to stay.

    I think that's how it'll work; owners can fund stadium/training facility without it counting to PSR, then sell commercial deals on them which does then count.

    And am I going mad or did the owners chuck £240m into the club in the past week or so?
