    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    That maybe true, but now the legal arguments have concluded that the FFP breaches were under the EFL you must be praying that you don't get relegated. As starting with a large points deficit next season could ensure more than 1 year in the championship with the implications for your finances...

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    The financial gap between the "slippery six", who were potential super league members and the rest of the PL is getting wider. Added to which to financial gap to the Championship is a massive difference. The problem for the PL is that any adjustments of the FFP rules will be met by a response...

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    The issues surrounding FFP and PL parachute payments needs reviewing urgently. If you’re a free marketer then the scrapping of any restrictions on spending makes sense. If you want to provide equality of opportunity, then you’ll favour restrictions on spending to exist . The current situation...

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    If I’ve understood the reasoning behind this judgement to be that Leicester financial year end being 2 days after they were PL members. Therefore, the overspending comes under the EFL rules. Along with their overspending in 23-24 season. If Leicester get relegated this season, surely the EFL...

    Muddled thinking

    My concern with yesterday was how predictable we are. We are slow moving the ball forward, allowing teams to get all their players back and reduce any space centrally. When the attack breaks down we are left with both fullbacks high up the pitch giving teams lots of space in the channels or...

    The system is rigged in favour of the PL clubs now, so don't expect much money coming our way

    Viktor Moving on

    I read that Charlie Patino is also leaving Arsenal. Is there a glimmer of a hope that they'll make a late bid for Vik?

    Match Thread Bristol City FC - Coventry City [LC] Match Thread - Tuesday 13th Aug

    I'm guessing at the focus being on Oxford, so a line up of: Wilson Burroughs Lati Kitching DaSilva Allen Howley Tavares Palmer Mason-Clark BTA Opps - didn't notice Saddles post! So obviously, I'm totally wrong!

    Transfer Rumour Milan Van Ewjik

    MVE has 3 year left on his contract and he's worth far more than £8.6m. This looks like a journalist story to fill a gap in their daily quota for publishing.

    If you could choose which Keeper to move on

    Collins. His confidence level seemed to be very low at the end of last season. Wilson seems a more positive individual

    Big clue that Vik is off?

    If Arsenal is his potential destination, then the delay in any move might be attributed to the failure for the Nketiah deal to Marseille to go through?

    when was the darkest era for the club?

    The worst I felt was the L1 relegation season and the game against Sheffield United at home, where we lost to a late goal [if i remember correctly] and their fans taking the p**s. I thought that with all the court cases and SISU's total lack of any interest in the playing side, we would be...

    Match day prices

    Reflects the statement of: Football created by the workers and stolen by the elite. It's difficult to see how someone on an average or below average wage can afford to attend a match.

    There are some late challenges coming in. I hope no one else gets injured. That kick into Kaseys back whilst he was on the floor was nasty. No wonder he reacted. we are playing some good football

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Whilst Cyril is up there as one of my favourite strikers of all time. He was never as a prolific goal scorer in comparison to Vik. Having said that, if someone stamps up £85m for Vik....I'll be celebrating as it means we don't have any pressure to sell Sheaf

    Transfer Rumour Mitchy Ntelo

    What helped us in the home leg was injuring their keeper early on in the game.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Whilst I agree that we have some stability, in comparison to last summer. Attacking wise, we potentially could be very exciting and could be really good. My concern is that last season we conceded more goals than previously and we are going into this season with essentially the same defenders...
