      Salah to Saudi?
      Don’t think he will entertain that but can you imagine the money on offer. Given his heritage and religion etc he might just be tempted

      Don’t think it will happen but the money…….

        7) Spurs owned by an insider dealer too old to be a wanker if that’s the acceptable vernacular?

          When will people realise that FFP in its current form just won’t work.
          Believe it or not I actually believe there needs to be a restriction on NET SPEND combined with a restriction on write off periods- say a five year maximum and not being able to spread the cost over say nine years.
          There also needs to be a limit on wages:turnover ratio but using a rolling average for example to provide some flexibility. In addition there needs to be an acceptable net profit:turnover ratio.
          For the Balance sheet there needs to be a minimum debt:equity ratio so that owners cannot finance an acquisition by debt such as happened with United and one or two others.
          A wages cap would be more problematic but is possible.

          If a more sophisticated system based on the above there would be FFP.
          Also more latitude could be given on P&L parameters for teams newly in the league but Balanced by tighter debt:equity ie owners having to provide more equity to finance costs.

          Then there is the issue of foreign ownership backed by wealth funds. That can’t be ignored so scrutiny into equity investment is necessary or something else…this one’s difficult.

          But the current system merely creates an oligopoly and just a few clubs benefit provided they can get on the ladder.

            Definitely not a red.
            Two games gone refereeing as expected worse than ever.

              PS
              The CPS always look to chase a high profile individual.
              Years ago I dealt with a tax case involving a well known individual. The amounts involved were relatively small compared with many but HMRC, Inland Revenue in those days, insisted on not accepting a settlement. Apart from minor issues on submission of returns and cooperation and small fines, with respect to major items in £000s we won the case and there was no evidence apart from that from his estranged wife.

                Here’s my opinion and I’m sure many won’t like it.
                Basically these guys are not that smart and full of testosterone. An easy target for a certain type of female with money on their mind “bag a footballer”.
                When it doesn’t go to plan, all sorts of accusations appear.
                Anybody agree?

                  Maverick.
                  That’s what I said a while back. It will happen. UEFA will be bribed somehow and they will find a way. They’ll say something like FFP will be transitional or will have some special application.
                  If Qatar can get the World Cup imo by money passing, although we have no proof, then getting a team into the Champions league should be less problematic.
                  My guess is they will apply this year and be in for 2025.
                  You certainly wouldn’t bet against it.

                      I give up with VAR. Too fussy.

                        Note Chelsea with big receipts and City with another £25m likely from Laporte. The surprise to me is Bournemouth.

                            Absolutely unbelievable. Totally outplayed and winning 3-1. I wonder if there was a Brazilian bet on this.

                              Definitely a red (2 yellow). Chelsea short of a striker despite spending £600m+ .
                              Even an idiot can see that’s what’s needed.

                                Still think Chelsea will win this. West Ham chasing shadows most of the time.

                                        Good equaliser from Chelsea. They’ll win this easily now. Can’t recall a decent West Ham attack.
                                        So one sided this
                                        Perhaps a return on the minor spend 😅

                                          Laporte to Saudi for £25m. Reported contract £64m over 3 years. Hoe could he refuse !
