Arteta has finally seen the light. Ramsdale has been the weak link for them down the stretch for 2 seasons running, he's ****ing abysmal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as some comment say get more revenue etc. But yes it does seem like a real case of the haves and haves not.

All I hear is “Villa sold Grealish for £100m” Yeah? In our case certainly I’d say we’ve made more in sales than most other clubs. I think Villa and Everton know that whilst nothing will be done and never will to the likes of Man City, Chelsea, etc, they’ll get a free pass too.

Popular Post Daggers Posted 31 July 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 31 July 2023 I wish they’d form their little super league and fvck off from English football. The top flight needs to become competitive again and offer all sides a crack at winning it. The financial dominance is poisonous. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree there, I'm baffled with how clubs like those you've mentioned seem to have avoided all FFP charges, issues or w/e. It's almost as if FFP isn't real with enough money. Makes it even more depressing we went down due to trying to adhere to FFP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's going on there? There are no FFP concerns with the sales we made, that was just to make sure we didn't get into trouble from next season onwards due to projected losses for last season and this. The owners have clearly taken a choice to spend less and make more profit to help as much as possible. This has pissed Lopetegui off as no doubt the owners gave him the big sell last season to get him through the door. We can afford to spend money, but the club is going through some kind of cash flow crisis where we can't afford to spend large amounts on initial payments for transfers, hence the freebies and cheap option arriving or due to arrive. The squad needed trimming of the players who don't get picked, which has happened and is a good thing. But you've also got to replace them with players the manager does want. Whether that happens and they loosen the purse strings a little towards the end of the window is yet to be seen.

BKLFox Posted 31 July 2023 Share Posted 31 July 2023 The differing side angles & contracts like these will always keep those clubs above the rest of the league clubs who scratch around for £10-20m per season contracts https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66358793 United said that the new deal has "a minimum cash guarantee of £900m, subject to certain adjustments".

HighPeakFox Posted 31 July 2023 Share Posted 31 July 2023 It all looks very much like they've created a cartel where if you make one small mistake, or enough small mistakes, you're absolutely dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 31 July 2023 Share Posted 31 July 2023 Lopetegui, unlike Rodgers, didn't have the luxury of the highest net spend in his club's history and his own staff filling the place when complaining about not being backed. I'd take his word any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'd be good for the league if they ever got relegated, after so many failed seasons. - Would've thought Kompany would do better than Redmond and Townsend. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66363967 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose2010 Posted 31 July 2023 Share Posted 31 July 2023 Not sure if it's just me as I've not really bothered to follow the prem pre season but there seems to be a lack of signings. Especially for the lower half prem teams. I know there is a month left of the window but nobody seems to be signing that many (just selling to Saudi!)
