Basically laughing at the thought that we can demand such over inflated transfer fees when the money clubs come calling. We should roll over, let them steal our star players and be grateful. Still some work to be done on the image of the club. He won't be laughing when someone comes in for Bruno thingy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhandfox Posted 5 August 2022 Share Posted 5 August 2022 The elite doesn't want Newcastle in the hen house any more than us. They didn't want PSG or Man City either, they just so happen to get in before they got a workable FFP solution in place 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ARM1968 Posted 5 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 5 August 2022 FFP pretty much creates the European Super League within the existing structure. It crippled anyone with pretentious to crack the ivory tower of the top clubs and does it in a way that suggests fair and sustainable. Joke. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it is designed to separate the super league six from the rest of the league and make it easier for them to poach our best players, since it makes it unviable for us to offer the wages they can Edited 5 August 2022 by FoxesWalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's incredible cognitive dissonance given that our own issues with FFP are the only reason that any media outlet has taken this saga seriously.

Here’s £350k for Saint-Maximin, take it and f-off” 🤩🥸🤑 They'd probably say he's better than anything Leicester have got. Which would be awkward, cos Barnes is quite literally twice the player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand enough of it to know, but from the untrained eye it’s hard to know how even Chelsea can spend all this money this summer with the players they’re linked with.

Sunbury Fox Posted 5 August 2022 Share Posted 5 August 2022 Maddison signing a new deal would hopefully put an end to the media nonsense that we're in serious financial trouble and need to sell our best assets to pay off the debts that we have accrued through trying but failing to get into the CL for the past few seasons. This is basically what they said on 5 Live last night before Steven Warnock predicted that we would be the biggest underachievers this season and finish bottom half. To be able to attract good players we can't afford for this narrative to become the accepted 'truth'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
