I'm sure you'll allocate sufficient praise if they get a "fantasy" signing over the line?

We couldn't afford him, nor did he want to sign for point deduction circus FC. Beto was available for literally £0 upfront, and we inevitably paid a premium for that. He signed 3 games into a season with us bottom of the league after we hadn't...

Just go out and buy Oliver Glasner.

It's sound to not have an opinion. It's sound to wait before having an opinion. It's sound to also change that opinion later on.

I would say seat unique on the face of it, is an expensive way to go. Even for the cheapest seat they offer it’s £125, but you can buy for any fixture this season, today. So you can plan your travel, etc and maybe save that way. Whereas, if you...

Presumably they’ve planned for +2000 wanting to spend the £10 credit each game and at the moment (early days admittedly) I can’t see how that’ll work with yesterday’s setup. Maybe the self pour will be a game changer? The seats are great (worth...

One possible fly in the ointment is the change in PSR to a wages percentage of turnover. Unless or until we get regular European football or start winning pots again, it will be a constraint albeit a navigable one

But you can loan a player for a fee, and still pay 100% of their wages on top. So it's semantics but I'm sure how it's allocated in football tedious finance will differ.

Our AI overlords think differently To be honest though I don't really care. It bores me the finance stuff. But you do hear of loan fees and/or % of wages.

It's been reported as no initial fee, but yes, swerve if we have a fee as well as his wages.

Didn't know that was the case. But you sound confident and your new here so I'll give you the benefit of doubt

Villa paid Chelsea £11m just for a loan fee for Ross Barkley... Before wages. If we have to pay a loan fee in addition to the wages reported, then yikes. Hopefully not.

You'll be at the mercy of availability to move your seat to elsewhere? Bingo - though the club are claiming they'll ensure only Club View people can access it. But will they? On what planet are stewards going to be checking thousands of people...
