Financial Fair Play

Financial Fair Play (FFP) refers to a set of regulations, introduced by UEFA and adopted in various forms by domestic leagues, that aim to ensure the financial stability of football clubs by requiring them to operate within their means, balancing income and expenses over a set period, and preventing excessive losses. The core principle is to promote long-term financial health and sustainability in football, preventing clubs from going bankrupt due to overspending, and to curb the ability of wealthy owners to create an unfair competitive advantage by "buying" success
cor i thought it was fish finger pie. cheers mate!
 
Kid needed a loan for sure. But sending him to the league ranked 27th in the world? Come on now.

Then again, what else does you expect from a bunch of clueless morons who don't know shit about football?...

Lad could even have stayed put and be our own Rio Ngumoha. I'd rather have him back up Brennan than the two overpriced Frenchies.
Make no mistake Celtic and rangers are two massive clubs. He’ll be under pressure straight away and will be involved in at least two of the biggest, noisiest and most aggressive derbies in the world. Every game he plays in will be a learning experience. And he will very much appreciate what he’s got when he comes back, the NLD will be easy for him after an old firm derby. And what’s the point of having Wilson and tel here, we don’t know yet if they’re overpriced until THEY get some actual experience here. Sometimes I think people just try their hardest to find negatives in everything this club without any real knowledge.
 
Garnacho gets shitted on but the kid has talent
Mainoo doesn't fit their system and describing Garnacho as "extremely talented" is laughable...maybe we should sign him...bet you'd be happy with that wouldn't you and seeing as you wanna play with stupid 'gotcha' nonsense I'm pretty sure you've mentioned how shit he is in the past, why have you changed your mind now then?

What are we even doing here?
Wtf have a look at our debates about Garnacho a few months back(this is just one quote)???

You made it clear you didn't rate him and was having a go at me for rating him....now you suddenly rate him??? Wtf?
 
He has said that he wants to join Chelsea. He’s a Chelsea fan. Chelsea want him but have been fucking about trying to get their house in order because they’ve got too many players.

Garnacho was a priority because LW cover was more pressing than CAM.

If you were in Simons’ position you’d probably be fucked off that the team you’ve been keen on hasn’t treated you like their priority and either one of two things is happening.

1) He has had enough and is going to join us to play regular first team football and stick two fingers up at Chelsea for stringing him along

OR

2) He is using negotiations with us to give Chelsea a kick up the arse and as leverage to get a better deal.

The biggest issue here is why the fuck we’ve waited until 4 days until the window shuts to do this.

We are clueless
 
It'll be interesting to see if we pivot to Lopez if Chelsea do prioritise Simons. You'd have to question what these players are thinking if they all join Chelsea. Simons and Lopez both behind Palmer in the pecking order. That's before you consider all the other options who like to play in that role
So if Jackson's off too it's

Delap/Joao Pedro

Gittens/Garnacho, Palmer/Simons, Neto/Estevao

It's slightly more coherent of a squad than it was the last couple of years, if I'm being fair, nevermind that 6 of the 8 would be new signings.
