    Robins

    We’ve spent 45m - the targets are not impossible whatsoever. Top 6 is a progressive target and attainable. 2 years ago Sunderland, Ourselves and Luton didn’t spend anywhere near that and made the play offs. Just because you’re happy to just be here doesn’t mean the rest of us are. We want to...

    Andy Murray retiring

    It’s a 250 point warm up tournament for Wimbledon… which Alcaraz went on to win for the second time, beating one of the Greatest for a second time. There are levels to this I’d be pleasantly surprised if he gets past Sinner

    Andy Murray retiring

    He’s been good. Great win for him - But his draw massively opened up. I think he was in Alcaraz’s quarter.

    Andy Murray retiring

    I’ve also found out that Draper is the first Brit to be in the US Open semis since Murray won it in 2012. really shocks me that he never made the semi again given that it was always seen as his best slam in his early years. Murray was unfortunate to come in the era he did 10 year earlier or...

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    He was - but he’d signed a new contract in the championship. He was one of our better players when we got relegated

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    It went to a league vote on whether to remove us. Whilst in Northampton there was a rule we had to be a certain mileage form the city centre the reason we sold Clarke was because wolves tapped him up. We weren’t under threat to sell him. We had Murphy, Christie, Baker on Championship wages - we...

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    Depends on the way you wish to restrict. If it’s based on revenue - we’ll never be able to compete. I actually favour the anchoring idea being discussed for the prem everyone can only spend up to 4x the bottom club’s revenue - limits spending - but allows growth if wanted

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    You said “I genuinely wonder how many of our fans would be comfortable had it have been us.” the answer if we get around some poorly written arbitrary rules designed to keep the big clubs on top and win a league title then yes - I’d be comfortable with it

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    I’m sure we’d all be gutted watching us beat Sevilla and watching Liam Kitching lifting the Premier league title.

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    I don’t doubt it makes it harder. I’d also argue it deters others from also buying a club like ours. what’s the point if your path to success is hamstrung

    The football competition is a corporation, it is bound by business law.

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    Gifts get messy though, they’re taxable - ultimately. I accept the idea. But ultimately that’s no different. It’s still an oligarch running the club and flouting “FFP” as I said the damage was done in 03 when Abramovic came in - the Prem made its bed then.

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    I don’t care what Birmingham are doing. Their owners have ambition. They don’t want to hang about in league one. Ultimately the prem shouldn’t have allowed United to go PLC or allowed Abramovic to come in. But they did and they benefitted from the better foreign players coming in. Sky paid more...

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    I’m one of these people who doesn’t agree with not allowing teams to move up. The fuck up was allowing United to become a PLC in the 90s and loophole that. how are you supposed to organically grow when the deck is stacked towards the teams already. United were paid more prize money than most...

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    You can’t within law charge someone twice. They don’t deserve to be sanctioned because the rules are pure bollocks. I said it earlier it’s just bitterness and jealousy. If I became a billionaire over night there’s not one person in here that wouldn’t be cheering me on to spend 500m
