All clubs suffer injuries and whilst you clearly have clearly missed players like Rodri this table points to the fact that the number of incidents suffered by you this season isn’t close to the worse Premier League Injury Table 2024/25 Which team has suffered the most injuries this season...

When there is an information vacuum speculation, rumours and fears fill that vacuum

Maybe

From the outside looking in I find it odd that so many are trying to suggest that there is a single reason for your current poor run of form. Sorry but to dismiss the off field issues as being contributory is I think burying your head in the sand. No matter how well paid the players , the...

My understanding re Utd was that the figure shown in the accounts in terms of Covid losses wasn’t the sum that appeared in their PSR submissions. There often is a disparity between accounts and PSR. PSR restrictions for instance in the areas of transfer fee amortisation isn’t in accord with...

If you rely on commercial lenders that specialise it seems in loaning money to football clubs like MCKENZIE ( spelling) who in effect take a charge over future income such as gate receipts, TV revenue, and transfer income then we have a realistic measure for clubs like Leicester & Everton . You...

The clubs had the opportunity to change the rules reassert sale but choose not to. Because of US rules Utds holding company had to quantify and publish the sum they believe in terms of losses was attributed to COVID but it’s almost 100% certain that the sum allowed for PSR wasn’t the same...

There were other payments ( I assume) disclosed in the press but most of those track directly back to companies owned by RA. Based on what little we know these payments may be in respect of sums that should have been paid through clubs accounts but equally possible is that they won’t be proven...

You would have thought wouldn’t you . What we seem to have admitted to is submission of information that potentially may not be complete what that actually means we can only guess. It may be the subsequent leaks give a clue but without any issues with the PL reviewing Chelsea books or indeed...

Too a degree the way in which the hearing is progressing is irrelevant it’s the fact that there is a hearing is the issue. Every supposed insight or gaining a hint is as much as a red herring as anything.

Interesting comments re Arsenal. As MC18 will confirm I have had several exchanges with blind Arsenal supporters on a site called Untold Arsenal.Without doubt the Goons on there are the most blinkered posters in the football world. Everyone from the Arsenal side of things willing point the...

I think Tevez paid 26 times and Mascherano 16 times in that season so hardly a few but that season had WHU lost just one game it would have been them relegated and not Sheffield Utd. From memory the last game of the season WHU won the last game of the season away to Utd ( they won the league...

Westham ended up paying £20 million to Sheffield Utd following action bought by Sheffield Utd so he’s at least one club has achieved compensation

Strange really because even CAS ruled that City didn’t comply . Yes as we all know UEFa didn’t land the charges that were the main issue as far as they were concerned but all that is taking over old coals! I don’t want different uses for any club and as for things being hunky dory as you put it...

In 20/21 the charge for finance in their accounts was £39.8 million . In 21/22 it was £4.3 million but they included a fair value charge of £16.7 million in 20/21 and 21/2 &22/23 they accounted for circa the same amount those sums were on top of the sums they were paying to commercial lenders

Just to add to the debate I personally can’t see that any charges , irrespective of the arbitration outcome, can be laid for clubs that were complying with the rules that were in place . Add to that any PL club were able to take advantage of the now flawed concession. Just like converting debt...

From memory Arsenal included comment in their accounts stating that they had to include in their FFP calculations a sum ( not actually make a payment) in respect of advantageous interest rates that KSE were able to borrow money at on behalf of AFC In other words the owners facilitated a better...

No ones suggesting that you won’t be here “for the long run” but the evidence is on this forum that a significant of amount of time and energy including several thousand postings show that the charges are something that most do indeed give a fuck about. If they didn’t then sorry there would be...

The thing is that in terms of greatest teams certainly in England dominance is very much cyclical and I think some of you are mourning the demise of your great era way too early. Injuries are sadly a given and of course they impact significantly harder when you loose the best player in the...

Having read the white paper and the suggested changes I personally think too many are expecting things from the regulator that simply isn’t being proposed Not too distant from UEFA licensing already in place there will be all sorts of requirements to obtain an English Club licence but once you...
