FFS. Who knew that only having one actually functional full back at the club was a risky strategy? Let's hope it's not too serious or poor Jimmy G will be playing half a season at left back.
Howard Webb is a moron and still has the attitude of a small town copper. It's what happens when the refereeing industry is dominated by self-assured dimwits.
Yeah, that wasn't my point. I was responding to a comment about whether our wage bill will be reduced or not. I made no comment on whether there is value in the £12m or not, I was simply querying where it would be accounted.
«"Chomping at the bit," also known as "champing at the bit," is an idiom describing someone who is very eager and impatient to start something.»
Props to the English language for being so easy to navigate for non native speakers
I never understand football economics. Either we're paying him £12m in wages or we're paying city £12m and they pay it to him in wages. Either way we shall be out £12m in 2025/26 which will be on our accounts for PSR. I think!
How they deal with that Grealish issue probably dictates it. But yes, it's for wages and with that 12m they are probably narrowly higher or equivalent.
