Football Special

What communication are you looking for? There's not much on any Championship club website or social media this week other than updates on international players and some ticket news as nothing else is going on

Dont take it as a given that one more game triggers "a large sum of money" to Arsenal just because Pilchards speculates that it might, very few people will know the specific contract details between the clubs, it might be a milestone but also quite possibly not. If his salary contains a lower basic rate with higher match appearance bonus then thats fine, worth paying additional when needed

Lol. Get the ITK badges out. I have a friend of a friend who works at Staplewood and even within the club there are conflicting rumours

This thread is full of posts that sound like they are informed but none of them know, they're just guessing

Feels like this might be what really does for the owners, if directors had been signing off accounts knowingly understating wages and therefore tax paid on them that should be an easy target for tax authorities to go after. Football finances do make me laugh though, I'd still rather City's owners investing their own cash than Man Utds debt based Glazer leveraged buy out that put the debt on the football club rather than the individuals making the purchase

Absolutely right. Man City/ owners have helped considerably to the regeneration of that area so its not surprising Burnham will have got on well with them in that role , they would have bought a lot of goodwill not that it will be much use for them now

Harry you have no idea so stop panicking , he's withdrawn from the Israel squad as a precaution, having Ramsdale as part of our squad should make us much less worried. If anything happens to Larin then thats a different issue all together.....

You are guessing on that We're still paying his transfer fee installments and wages anyway so he's still costing us Use him

He'll be assessed when back at the club, not necessarily out but has withdrawn from the Israel squad so 50/50 at the moment Ramsdale has been training throughout international break so we do have him and clearly should use him if we need to

I think we all need to prepare ourselves for a 0-1 home defeat to Wanderers in a couple of weeks with Baz masterclass keeping a clean sheet

Last year Southampton Central Station was closed all weekend for engineering works. Seems to be open this time

Much worse than Pompey who stole from charities? Isn't Man City the opposite of stealing? They wanted to spend more of their cash that they would never see back Modern football is fucked anyway unfortunately, hard to get that worked up about this

Isn't it why FFP was introduced to prevent over spending ? Or was it to deter new owners from spending to compete with established elite who already had high turnover thanks to global fanbase, corporate sponsors and Champions league money?

I get why clubs shouldn't be able to run up massive debts and end up like Leeds United a few years ago, but if an owner just wants to invest their own cash on their own team why shouldn't they be allowed?
