Let's not rewrite history. Everton gambled the family silver and bet it all on shit footballers. Despite this the league worked with them to get back on course. Moshiri took a more hand-on approach, appointed Benitez and ran a tight ship for 6 months. Benitez signed Demari Gray for 1.5m plus a...

The press can laugh at that decision because they know 19 other clubs supporters will laugh with them. That's the problem, the sport is too tribal for its on good, we laugh on a Saturday and then screwed by the same ineptitude 3 weeks later. This is an opportunity to finish off PGMOL, there is...

Quick summary from 2 year ago from 30 second Google. Look at the numbers and divide by 20. Then ask yourself is it worth it? Is adding 8 minutes on to matches worth it to correct 5 decisions in a season? Is having the spontaneity taken away from every goal worth it? Maybe in 3 or 4 big games...

Reading this thread you would swear it's 1990s Bagdad you're heading to. Dublin is amazing, its a rip off, but one of the best Cities in Europe. Once you're expecting to be fleeced for drink in the City Centre you will be fine. There has been 2 high profile attacks on an American and British...

Comes across as a modern day Robinhood. Giving snippets of information to help ordinary workers top up their income.

50 minutes into that video they state it was sent from an Abu Dhabi state email address and not his MCFC one. 70m is a lot of documents before you start including 3rd party to 3rd party mails too. Speculating here but either he didn’t do it or he was paid to find very specific information.

Has it ever been explained why they hacked Simon Pearces non MCFC email account? On the face of it correspondence between him and a commercial airline wouldn't seem very footyleaks? It's easy to say with Hindsight that an investigative journalist would join dots but we're supposedly talking...

The article lacks details but it's clearly aimed at swap deals. Barcelona were involved in 2 if memory serves me, they bought and sold a keeper and midfielder for huge money, Juventus and Valencia were the clubs involved. Both deals were as bent as a banana but suited the clubs for short term...

Have they paid big money for any player so far? From what I can see it's all freebies, they aren't interested in giving established clubs huge chunks of money. Like LIV golf, the aim is destabilise. Ian Poulter would have pulled down his pants for 20% of what he was offered, same Kante, Benzema...

The Abramovich and Glazer models are both hugely flawed but they were in before FFP. Neither model should be allowed happen again. Arsenal, Brighton and Brentford are living proof from this season that you can compete by being smart and sustainable.

If you read the auditors notes it's blindingly obvious why FFP is needed. Everton's owner has written a non binding letter to say he will cover the losses, say he decides to cut his losses then Everton are f**ked, not my opinion but the official opinion of the Everton board. I'm not looking for...

Make them an offer for £3 or whatever the fee was, document the offer and go to court, tell your side of the story. I paid £90 against my better judgement for a £3 charge over 10 years ago. It still eats away at me any time I pass that bridge. One of the biggest regrets of my life being bullied...

Why was the club in administration?

You mentioned in the podcast about auditors being mislead. Does this necessarily have to be the case? If Mancini is paid x amount by Man City and x amount by a third party in a different jurisdiction, then what has that got to do with auditors in the UK looking at Man City's books? That is...

My take is the PL are waiting for the numbers to stack up. Once they have 14 owners agreeable to their position then they pull the trigger. By my count Arsenal, Villa, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd, Leicester West Ham and Spurs will all vote to convict regardless of the outcome of any...

Leeds get an extra £10m if Barcelona miss the original payment date.

Simon Kuper is a journalist and literary put it in a book in 2021. It hasn't been kept quiet by the cartel.

What was the score?

Can you stop the silly chairman talk? He quite rightfully wanted mad money to compensate for losing a player that all but extinguished any hope of CL football. When the whistle blows this evening its highly likely Spurs will have CL football (and money) and still own Kane. I think he's been a...

I always found QPR's tip off to be really weird. They were losing 3-2 and they literally lashed the ball out of play like an out halve in rugby. I can't remember the results of the other games they were relying on, maybe there is something in that but even still it just looked really strange. If...
