Still accessible - Memphis depay, dangerous driving

Thanks. I'm getting this though.

I was hoping for a like from @Mad Eyed Screamer at the very least

No you have to give him him three options.
He is good at getting the correct answer.
He would be brilliant at TV quiz shows but I cant seeing ever be persuaded to do so.

Unfortunately for the rags Martinez is the worst butcher they've had, since Louis Edwards.

I said… I said…

Questions like:

1) have you ever been on eggheads
2) Do you like to talk about it
3) How often do you bring it up in normal conversation completely unprompted

;)

There’s always seems to be one club who are mid to lowish mid table that cannot buy a result beginning late Feb to April that gets sucked into the relegation mire. The usual problem is a team that cannot score goals at all.

Would love to see this happen to the rags but it won’t down yo two things. Firstly, they have accumulated enough points his scruffy results ie that abortion of a result against us. Secondly, the competing clubs are just dreadful. Soton have been cut adrift. It also seems Wolves will get it done. That just leaves Leicester and Ipswich to get its collective shut together and put together a nice run. Cannot see that happening unfortunately.

And thats why the established lower half premier league teams vote for ffp

 

[foggy1974]

Villa obviously think they can make use of him regardless of what percentage of his wages they're picking up. I'm quite looking forward to his debut for them, fascinating to see how he performs (and if he looks any better than the recent pictures!).

He probably score the winner against us in April

Brilliant!

 

[northendenton]

Yea he is better than Eric Morecambe and Les Dawson

But not in that order

 

[pauls]

Is this the twat getting away for these 2 footed challenges? Unfortunate for him but at least the potential for injury to opposition players has diminished for a while.

Yeah
He was tryna do the Palace player and came worse off !
Erlings dad had similar issues with dirty Irish b****** !

 

[heslops barnet]

Cannot believe Villa are picking up 75% of his wages. Hopefully they put a drug test/breathlyzer clause in it as well..

Won’t 75% of his £350,000 a week be a lot more than the highest player at villa is getting paid?
Can’t see that going down well in the dressing room…..

Yep, like so many Rags through the years, avoids red cards that any other team would get. The "Butcher" also went off crying his eyes out

Other reports say 60% being paid by Villa.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Other reports say 60% being paid by Villa.

Their financials are always misreported to suit their narrative. Must be a cartel club thing.

 

[fulabeer]

A sale to the Arabs you say.
Surely that would involve 'dirty oil money'?

They already have an excuse waiting.
"If you cannot beat them join them, so it's City's fault" etc etc...

 

[fulabeer]

WOW!!!

No sympathy.

 

[Vienna_70]

WOW!!!

That’s fucking uncanny, even if he’s 12 months out.

yep
I don't see anybody at Villa on that sort of wage, United will be paying 50% or more of his wages

How many more have United got out on loan at the moment, Antony, Sancho £170 million

 

[fulabeer]

United are in a debt spiral.
Due to their own insistence on having FFP/PSR to stop City, they cannot even inject their own money. (that's even if they had any or wanted to)
They have shifted debt. Hidden debt. And even invented new £70m debt rules just for themselves. (Covid allowance)
Yet they are still in a debt spiral.

They will be without Champions league football for two seasons, further reducing sponsorship/income.
I await an announcement of "renegotiation" from their sponsors to cover this.

There are NO signs that things on field are improving. In fact, things are also spiralling downhill there to.
How are they supposed to attract top/new talent with no Champions league football other than offer silly wages with money they haven't got ?
The answer is they can't.

I think they will fail FFP/PSR, but watch how the league(s) will look after them. They will get the minimum penalties allowed. Maybe even another "special allowance".
Wouldn't surprise me if the Prem announces a pause or abolishment of the whole thing.

I think they are in bigger trouble than is being reported...
