Re: Jarrad Branthwaite

Being said we've put a 75 million tag on the glorious lad. At that price, I can see there being a few possible takers. The likes of City, United, Chelsea, Arsenal, even Newcastle wouldn't flinch at that price if they want him badly enough. He's young, English, already looking very good and has a ma...

Re: Financial Fairplay Investigation - Deducted 10 points

Have we fielded any ineligible players? Have we failed to pay wages? I'm not entirely sure exactly what the actions of the Welsh version of our Sunday League has got to do with the richest league in the World if I'm honest. What sort of crowd would you expect at a typical Pontypridd game, 3 men and ...

Re: Today's Football 2023-24

They definitely weren't equipped for the demands of champions league and premier league combined, and they've had terrible injuries plus lost their expensive midfielder though a betting suspension. I think it's a valid excuse tbh, but obviously sky etc have their narrative which I can imagine is pr...

Re: James Garner

He's like Alan Harper in terms of his versatility and that's not a criticism. Great asset Harper at the time. Alan Harper was a fantastic asset at Everton. He would literally play ANYWHERE on the pitch and would never let you down. There was nothing flashy about him, he was just a solid player who ...

Re: Financial Fairplay Investigation - Deducted 10 points

Isn’t each position in the Prem worth something like £3 million ? So even if we survive but don’t get at points back we are being penalised by millions of pounds again. Which is kind of why I'm hoping we don't get them back. It just means that we'd be in a position to be an absolute pain in the ars...

Re: Our Captain Seamus Coleman

Fantastic to see him back. He brings so much to the table, even at this late stage of his career. We've had our sixty grand back a million times over from this guy. Surely he must rank right up there among the best value signings of all time. Absolute machine and definitely worthy of legend status. ...

Re: James Garner

Based upon what we paid for him, he's a decent, steady, premier league midfielder. He's not world class, but neither is he shite.
He's young and will improve and was a decent solid player for the money.

Re: Financial Fairplay Investigation - Deducted 10 points

Am I correct in thinking the Premier League wouldn't allow us to play Sigurdsson and the panel refused to accept that as a factor in the overspend? Kind of ridiculous to ignore the possibility of selling our record £50m signing during an investigation over a £19.5m overspend. I don't think the Prem...

Re: Financial Fairplay Investigation - Deducted 10 points

You think that the threat of a second punishment may be engineered to try to hush the club up and stifle any appeal. Take your ten point deduction and crack on or else we'll find another rule breach to shaft you for. You can just see us appealing, getting a small reduction in the deduction from 10 p...

Re: Financial Fairplay Investigation - Deducted 10 points

Is it...is it actually corrupt? Like what is corrupt about it? We've lied more than any other party here! Yes, of course it's corrupt. The Premier League, just like any other football league, is supposed to be a level playing field. When you see, time after time, certain teams being treated entirel...

Re: Financial Fairplay Investigation - Deducted 10 points

Because we left a whole in our finances. I'm struggling with the compensation claims to be fair. If we had not overspent by 19.5m, one of the clubs who finished below us might have stayed up, but then again, they might have still gone down. Who knows how the results would have looked without that ov...
