To pass FFP, we are talking margins of 10m being deal breakers. We are sailing that close to the edge.

Our big winner is that they discount some wages signed before 2010. I say two years not because of compensation but because it will get us out of the first Monitoring Period and presuming we continue commercial growth, we can afford to sack him.

I cannot see any possible way we can sign big in January unless we sell a big player.

In regards to the CL finances, if we sacked Mancini and his staff, brought in a new manager and his staff and could do so in under 20m then it could be done. But if this new manager doesn't go to the semis or later, we're buggered financially.

I don't see the rush if I'm honest. It's safer to wait two years which also will help our coefficient and get easier groups, than needlessly gamble away the financial or competition sanctions. We should be thinking about a period of consolidation to align our finances with other clubs and FFP.

The first MP we should be ok, it's the second one which I'm concerned abouit.

Sorry pal, you are well wide of the mark on this one.

You are essentially stating our owners are prepared to to sit on their hands for the next two years at least, regardless of results on the field, in lip-service to FFPR.

I'm sure they have been prudent enough to include various caveats in Bobby's contract, otherwise why offer him five years, why not four, or three?

It's a contradiction in terms to suggest our owners are long-term thinkers because they believe Bobby is the right man in charge, yet not accommodate future bumps in the road.

As for our financial figures, a couple more weeks, and we'll all get to see what they look like.

I also expect the January window to enlighten a lot more people as to the new direction we will be taking.

have you something to tell us :-)

Steady ;-)

And that doesn't even include the fact that we could have got much better value for money as well.

if this does have guardiola implications i'm not sure how much of barcas success was down to the amazing talent at his disposal, and how much was down to him

spain have won everything in the same period with more or less that same amazing midfield and no messi

he did develop the high pressing game but i don't think you can say for certain he would be a success

Rights to Premiership football in USA being negotiated and reports suggest a 4 fold increase on the last deal.

Man Utd official, I forget his name, also very confident of enhanced commercial income in US, China and India. That is good news for us. Less so was the claim that Utd would have £60m free cash per year (after interest payments).

So Marwood will be responsible for the academy and Txiki will take care of the 1st team transfer market.... lets hope he can do better.


So his best signing were Ronaldinho & Eto, and worst were Ibrahimovic and the Ukranian defender.
