Thought you’d like that Chucky!
If you trawled through ALL the club owners you’ll find a graveyard of skeletons.
Either ownership is accepted for all of its limitations or you say UK citizens only with an impeccable background. Do they exist?
The ownership bar is already pretty high_____________________________

One for Chucky
Tottenham Hotspur owner Joe Lewis has been charged with “orchestrating a brazen insider trader scheme”, US attorney Damian Williams has said.
Mr Williams used a video announcement to accuse the British billionaire of using inside information to “shower gifts on his friends and lovers”.
Mr Lewis “has been indicted and will face justice” in the Southern District of New York (SDNY), Mr Williams said.
BBC News has approached Tottenham Hotspur and Mr Lewis for comment.
In the video statement, posted on Twitter, Mr Williams set out a series of allegations against Mr Lewis. A formal written statement, known as an indictment, has yet to be released.
“We allege that, for years, Joe Lewis abused his access to corporate board rooms and repeatedly provided inside information to his romantic partners, his personal assistants, his private pilots, and his friends,” Mr Williams said in the video.
Mr Williams, the chief federal law enforcement officer for the SDNY, alleged that Mr Lewis’s acquaintances used that information to make millions of dollars in the stock market.
“Thanks to [Mr] Lewis, those bets were a sure thing,” he claimed.
Mr Lewis owns hundreds of assets, including Premier League London club Spurs and a stake in UK pub chain Mitchells & Butlers. Forbes magazine has recently estimated his fortune at £4.73bn ($6.1bn).

Why is Sanchez being allowed to sign for Spartak Moscow?

Even I think there needs to be a major rethink on football finances not just stupid unworkable FFP.
FFP should be parked for a year or two and a better set of rules introduced._____________________________

The world of football has gone completely mad
£259m for Mbappe. If this goes ahead the game as we know it will be in turmoil.
And he’s not worth that either. But money talks as always.Again RIP on of our best.

I wonder which one of us would turn down millions for doing the same job in Saudi or the Emirates.
Most would say you wouldn’t until it became a reality.

All we get on Sky Sports news is Arsenal followed by Chelsea and then Chelsea followed by Arsenal. They are going to do this or that etc.
Hardly anything on United or Newcastle or Liverpool or us or most others.
Nothing to do with London is it? One reason why I was pleased to pip Arsenal for the league. Just shut up the London media who had already given the title to Arsenal._____________________________

Mind you plenty of warnings given to us by all and sundry who are going to do this and that. Did those players really say those things or did the papers make it up,tricky one that
The biggest joke is Bayern thinking they can have Alvarez on loan. It beggers belief
Next story is we’ll be signing Mbappe as part swap for Silva Or better we are selling Haaland to United.
Wait for tomorrow’s nonsense!!_____________________________

If memory serves me didn’t Henderson speak out publicly against Saudi Arabia and their human rights? Who wouldn’t do the same?
Only those who don’t get the big money complain!!

Man City on course to break new record for academy transfer sales
Manchester City will bring in more than £25m from the sale of two academy talents and can expect to at least double that figure in the window
This is a clear strategy and one which shows a good return on the investment into the a academy. Sales of academy players will easily cover the cost of Kovacic.
Other sales we make will go significantly into the cost of other signings giving once again a relatively low net spend pushing us further down the chart of net spenders from 8th largest spender to maybe 9th or 10th
It shows how important, in ANY business, is proper timely investment.
So when people, jealous people, go on about our spending check out the last six years since Pep. Of course we pay big salaries too so it’s not all hunky dory.
The only other point I would make is that there should be a maximum amortisation period of 5 years and not the 8 Chelsea are using but that’s for debate._____________________________

If players do go to Saudi so what. Saudi teams don’t play in any relevant competition.
In our terms, there have been many people going to work there over the years..nurses, engineers etc. Nobody levelled criticism there. If somebody said to you earning say £50k a year that you could do the same job for 2 years for £200k a year in good working conditions in Saudi would say no? Or are we just suffering jealousy and hypocrisy?_____________________________

There is so much nonsense (as always) in the press etc about who is signing who.
I think yet again we will be going for a low net spend.
I hope we don’t sell Bernardo but if we have to we should be asking substantially above £70m given how much United had to pay for Mount. I think Bernardo is the better player….some may not agree.
On another tack what’s going to happen to Sterling? His first season wasn’t good. I’d have him back. Particularly if we sell Mahrez but I know it won’t happen._____________________________

Havertz is one of those who is deemed to be good by those experts but I don’t see it. He’s certainly not a striker. Is he a number 10, so called? Don’t think so.
