John from Bootle's latest activity

Matt Le Tissier's highest ever wage was 3.5k p/w :eek: He retired in 2002. To put that in perspective, John Barnes was earning 10k p/w in the early 90's and before that decade was out, Roy Keane was getting 50k p/w Learned that watching this:

Never watched a drama series more than once other than The Soprano's and that's only because my wife wanted to watch it. Pretty much every decent sitcom (mainly English) has been watched several times. My favourites being The Simpsons and...

I used to enjoy this thread. Then you shower of miserable bastards ruined it. Koff ye miserable shitheads

You can tell some people read an athletic long read once about how it’s good to sign young players and now apply it to every situation without any nuance whatsoever.

Imagine spending all day whinging about 4th choice centre back Michael Keane signing a one year extension when the most promising left-footed English centre back in about the last 20 years has just signed a 5 year deal. No doubt the same people...

No worries, I was only thinking about us in that scenario and how we used to generate cash flow ourselves. It's an interesting question you raise though.

I don't think it will be an issue. Transfers will still be set up on payment plans on a case by case basis. Money doesn't necessarily need to change hands the moment it is agreed. If TFG are able to pay up front, that does give us an advantage...

No, I weren't suggesting they were gonna borrow against it like that. I just imagine clubs don't have the most cash flow at this time of year and that it might have an impact on how much can be spent early in the window for some. As I said...

Isn't there something else about cash flow also? I vaguely remember us waiting on a date for tv money under the last donkey who owned us. Cash flow was talked about a lot. It might be irrelevant tbh, not sure.

We literally have Barry lined up which would put us right up there just below the Super League clubs in money spent. Thats how little happens early on. Think its mainly down to a couple of things, PSR being the big one But the other is waiting...

Where?

BBC Football are doing a 'live' transfer thread every day it seems. I had a little perusal of it late yesterday, it features a lot of comments by fans. Man Utd, Forest and Newcastle are particuarly twitchy and complaining about not getting...

Sky are just as complicit in the huge wealth gap that has now opened between certain clubs and the likes of us, they constantly put a certain number of clubs on tv much more than others, which they get paid more for, it's shocking and has ruined...

Why exactly? If he'd have been good they'd have kept him. It was a standard contract that triggered a permanent transfer if they were promoted. Covid meant there was a date for that to be activated but the season overran that date. Like I say, if...
