Where did you predict we'd finish last season?
Yup that is my prediction from the minute Maddison got injured. A deadline day move for Mcatee! Levy will see it as a risk free gamble. Even if he flops this year and doesn't make any impact, he's still a young english player with value.I didn't realise that James McAtee has one year left on his City deal
Only 22, English, a hardworking number 10/wide right attacker, good attitude, won't be asking for crazy wages
This is the classic THFC opportunistic deal just waiting to be completed
So...Do you think Daniel Levy was lying when he claimed the new stadium "Would be the game changer that allows us to compete with Europe's elite"
Were you lying when you said « not one brick » would be built. Or were you itk about the concrete pillars? Architecture seems to be your things
I agree, but that's outrageous for the 8th riches club in europe!
Are we actually even open for business ?

McAtee wouldn’t be the worst bit of business, but it should be accompanied with the signing of a more established 10/LW. Given Levy’s penchant for leaving the squad incomplete, you just know they’d leave it at McAtee alone.
Yeah I'm not against McAtee as long as we sign Eze as well
Oh and Rodrygo on a one year loan deal
3 players that would give an instant lift to our attacking options and offer fans some hope for the season ahead
Forgive me, but I bought into that!!
I believed Enic had a 20 year plan, training ground, stadium and that revenue etc to attract and afford the best of the best, and for years to come we would be challenging for the top honours.
This window, more than ever has shown how naive I was. I will allow myself a small amount of leeway purely because of my desire for this to be true, and I should have seen the light after the CL final in 2019, when it was glaringly obvious where Enic's real focus lied but I am ashamed to say I continued to believe!
I'd never relay this to my old women because she would never understand, but I'm putting it out there to you in the hope you will, when I say, I'm broken!
As I have said before it is total wages that matter where we were 7th. 5 of those above us are richer than us. It is not that players can get more money from the likes of West Ham as if that was the case why did Kudus move to us. I have not seen his wages but he is bound to be getting more. We got Frank from Brentford and are you really saying he got more at Brentford.
I am not disputing we are not competing on wages or transfer fees with the top 5 but we are with the rest.
It is in the accounts which have been produced and debated on here. They were for 30th June 2024 but we are unlikely to have reduced it.
24/7 as long as it's not football related.
No dividends have been paid.How much money is transferred to ENIC?
Joe Lewis had a misdemeanour in the USA and had to paymillions did the club contribute to this. This is why we need new owners!
We're going round in circles here Malcolm
You acknowledge that we spend a lower proportion of our revenue on player wages than every one else..not just in England but in every major league in Europe.
The obvious conclusion is we are not attracting the quality of player we could if we invested more. And obviously we could invest more if we chose to.
If Liverpool, for instance, only invested around 40% on wages, they would not be signing the quality of player they are now.
It's a scam Malcolm . There's no other word to describe it.

Stop calling him mate TM thanks
Maybe not.
But if we are investing a lower proportion of revenue in player wages than every other team in every major league in Europe (as every reliable source confirms) where is that money being spent?
Owe £300m in back payments - piss poor management of player assets.
Skint - piss poor management of club income streams.
All = levy is not as clever as he tells Gary Neville
