Meanwhile in America, aliens in Miami. Apparently 10ft aliens went shopping for brands. The only aliens in America are the illegal kind. In other news the meltdown was real. Did anyone expect anything but a landslide, the charlatans Hayley and Di Santis got bodied.

master's and the FA want to conveniently change rules now, is this before or after they try relegate Everton and Forest

Surely this is double jeopardy, this just smells like corruption.

Chelsea reported amortisation at 289m which is nearly the allowable losses under FFP, but fear not FFP is changing end of season to allow for losses up another 100m or so to ensure the big boys are safe while they kicked Everton in the dick over it. The premier League is corrupt and they need to save Chelsea as they forced a good owner out and replaced him a clown who is not fit and proper.

I say FFP and PSR are good but they are utilised unfairly with the intent to keep clubs rising up while the established clubs get to make endless mistakes and keep going. The paradox of the premise of FFP is that the big six have built success, how did they build success? They spent money, so therefore clubs aspiring to compete there will need to spend to grow Danny throwing his pram over nothing, nobody is saying endless unregulated spending, but there should be allowable provisions that will let prospective owners to invest a bit more than baked in limitations between haves and have nots to grow their investment, does this include a once off fixed amount say 300m over and above current FFP I don't know but until they let clubs invest to grow you will have clubs like ourselves, West ham, villa and Everton needing to lose good players to try sustain squad growth because the gap between spurs last in the big six and the next best turn over being ourselves and Leicester at 250m is daunting. I am happy that we are complying with rules and yes we will post north of 330m next seasons audit which is around 200m growth over 2 years relative to that cockney bastard.

And how has a billion helped Chelsea, clearly money alone is not the problem it is unfit and improper owners like the Glazers and Boehly

I agree with most other than the piss shots at the ownership who have grown club revenue by over 100% in the short period, improved the training, woman's and youth facilities while complying with the rules. Our woman's team was neglected under Ashley, now they are putting up rugby scores weekly. if you want a crime against humanity find that sad sack of shit called Mike Ashley who only wanted minor profits instead of growing his asset. Fit and proper is whether you have the stuff to run a business, not a political statement. Saudi Arabia also interfere very little in the running of the club which is essentially handled by Ashworth and Eales who last I checked were English. My issue with FFP is it stops aspirational clubs stepping up, Everton like all clubs wanted to be in that top bracket and got strong handed. If any club could be bought by a sugar daddy with aspiration free of artificial restraints it will add more investment in football, but FFP is designed to protect the status quo

Read up on UEFA and even that calculation is incorrect. Condition based value is not recorded as book value for amortisation. Eg bruno cost 32m the 8m is conditional and if those conditions are not met they are not enforceable, botman cost 30m and isak 58m but it's even more complex as whatever has been paid per book year is also paid off value ie: selling bruno for 100m but we have already paid 20m on amortization means his book value goes up by that. Per the Athletic 100m sale will net nearly 80m in profit. Selling those three will be somewhere in the 150-170m profit range. Similarly Joelinton if we sold him for 40m we wont be net 0 because his value was paid over 5 years meaning he will be pretty much like selling a academy player pure profit, Almiron another who has been at the club for the duration of the primary deal so if he is sold to Saudi for the reported 30m that is a full 30m in the bank. If we sold Tonali for 30m then it would be a loss though.

It is however interesting that some of Europe's elite clubs, some the biggest teams in the world are pushing for FFP changes to allow a certain percentage of private equity put into the transfers determined on a percentage of total revenue, this is to allow continental teams to compete in markets against English sides. The clubs in question include Bayern, Dortmund, Real, Barce, Athletico, both Milans, Juventus, Napoli, Ajax, Lyon and the biggest surprise Manchester United.

That can amortized over longer terms for 6-7 players. The media reports are misleading when they say we have e to sell to be within FFP, Kieran Maguire has already stated we are safe within FFP but we wont be able to do much until the summer without selling. He also said that the champions league revenue (guaranteed 32m excluding match day revenues), Sela and Addidas will only reflect on next years year ending which along with projected growth is going to be around 350m revenue

Bruno has a 100m (115m) release clause, there is no reason to sell for less. Isak is worth 100m by modern rates, 23 goals I 49 games is expensive. Botman the third big asset is probably around 70m.

Been playing with friends co-OP BL3, probably the best looter shooter/RPG money can buy. Steam recently had the full deck available for maybe 15 dollars, that's all the DLC, skins, keys and other content club goodies. I had the epic games version and just ported it to steam and crashed in on cheap deals to super size the game. What I like about BL3 in 2024 vs 2020 is that every character can be overkill and not like BL2 where Salvador, Gaige and Krieg were very far ahead in the damage output, yes Zero can bore kill but very few raid bosses had bore capable crits, solo zero in murderlain temple or dragon peak was nearly impossible for zero, Axton and Maya were fun characters but neither had any boosted damage bluffs.

I do think we will sell Bruno and/or Isak in the summer, that will be 200m of pure profit to invest in talent. The only business we have done is apparently for two under 18s one is a highly rated Swede. There is a clear move to keep making the squad younger. It's scary that Leicester turned over 250m also yet the gulf between Leicester, Newcastle, Villa, West Ham, Everton and the worst top 6 club financially. Spurs turned over 490m more than Newcaslte+Leicester

Per Maguire from the Athletic we are well under FFP but have little room to spend in January without selling. This years financials exclude Addidas and Sela worth around 100m The clubs revenue rose 39% and the losses decreased by 9%. FFP just means we have to hold out until the summer.

Except all of them stopped being monarchys and became constitutional democracies, that hasn't happened in the middle east but for israel and the shit show in gaza. England for example is not called a kingdom and hasn't in a while, the Netherlands is also no longer referred to as a kingdom of Holland. Those executions ranged from murderers to seditionists there was no political opposition just ultra minorities wanting to impose their will over the majority. When Saudi arabia played the two games in england that stupid newcastle fan wannabe group tried asking actual Saudi Arabians whether they were oppressed, let's just say it didn't end well for a bunch of Englishman thinking they can tell Saudis they should be unhappy about something that isn't a problem. If you don't break laws, start coups, murder people you will be just fine.

Ergo it's called the kingdom of Saudi Arabia much like the gulf they are ruled by the Emirates. It doesn't make them less legitimate, however if you have an election mared by violence you can't really call it one, it was a hostile take over and the opposition have been murdered off over the years to the point that those left are to weak to do anything so they are ruled by violence.

It is a conflict that will require s Gulf war style coalition to ensure the systematic removal of all extremists and the removal of indoctrinated from society. The only way to kill a snake is to remove its head, the form of Islam they are taught or forced to accept is a poison that fuels constant conflict. The cold hard reality is that sustainable peace is not possible as they don't want to co exist with israel and so malcontent breeds malcontent. I think the only solution is the US to seize control and recondition Palastine by serving as stewards until Palastinians are free to vote without fear of persecution for a legitimate government.

They lacked the sufficient majority, so they murdered Fatah and Fatah supporters to get to power, never had an election since 2006.

I didn't say anything about starting war with kids, I'm talking about kicking 50 shades of shit out of strategic military targets, like that dipshit that goes on stage and circle jerks about launching missiles at Israel, would it not be funny if during his presser he got hit by an American Drone strike, taste the freedom.

The US has tip toed around not to upset the diplomacy with the Gulf states, but now there is an escalation in attacks on civilian ships and yesterday the houthis attacked a US ship, big mistake. The Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas all the same, they destroy legitimate governments and incite violence as a form of indoctrination. It is up to people that refuse extremism to stand up to extremists but when the perverse view that guerrillas are righteous in taking down governments then they are emboldened. Maybe the few brownie point collectors will try to explain what good Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis (Triple H) have done for those states. When these fighters get a little punch drunk you need to slap them down to the canvas, if the west fails to do so, it will suffer the same fate.

The Houthis are playing a blinder at slowly dragging the US and UK into the conflict. The time for soft hands is over. The coalition needs a soft war to come in and slap around a weaker enemy just to show they have some teeth. I think more so to show it was Ukraines military naivity and not western equipment that is the issue. Iran is busy flexing their 40 mig 27s like that scares anyone.

One of which was Soviet Russia, who spied on the entire thing. Talk about a difficult marriage. The biggest issue in my mind was the US government thinking nuclear proliferation was a deterrent, that didn't work to well.

apparently we will get a nice cut of this deal, so maybe Brentford could scam arsenal or Chelsea of 120m

i got fallout 76 since it is on special, it is a better game today, I also got the full Borderlands 3 set which is a absolutely brilliant game. I'm thinking of getting Dayz while games are very cheap on steam

i got to watch Oppenheimer yesterday and it was a lot better than I was expecting. I liked the flashpoint style of the movie instead of being a droning biopic focused on a specific aspect of the Mahatten project. it was well worth the hype, I thought the acting was good, the dramatic tensions were keeping me engaged. I enjoyed RDJs portrayal of Lewis Strauss was on point. the movie is not a movie about the bombs but rather a legal and political power struggle on who gets to decide how absolute power is wielded.
