  1. State sportswashing ownership or Profit-seeking ownership?

    There's a lot of hypocrisy around this issue. People will act outraged and demand human rights abusing states stay away from their clubs. Then those same people wont have an issue with large sports brands who make billions off the back of Asian sweat shops sponsoring their team. When it was...
  2. Which football team would you invest in or buy if you were rich?

    I'd go for QPR. West London based which would appeal to players and their families + a large local population so plenty of fans to fill seats + In the Championship so buying the club wouldn't cost billions. The biggest issue is their stadium is so small (18,000 capacity) and surrounded by...
  3. Alejandro Garnacho | 2022/23 Performances

    Tie as many of our exciting young stars down to contracts as possible, while the team is doing well. All it takes is a few bad results and a 5th place finish for their interest to start wondering.
  4. Signing players on very long contracts

    8.5 years isn't a contract, it's a prison sentence! :lol:
  5. Scott McTominay | Transfer discussion not performance discussion

    I never feel at ease when McTominay's on the ball. Whether it's clumsy tackles, holding on to the ball for too long or constant stray passes. He's too erratic. He doesn't have that sense of calmness and decision making players like Eriksen or Casemiro have. Yes, he has some good games but one...
  6. Club Sale | It’s done!

    The source is a Qatari journalist "@Qatari" on twitter, apparently he has state connections and likely wouldn't say these things if there wasn't some truth. Of course it's nothing official so could all be nonsense. (Hopefully) Regarding the confusing part, yes you're right it wouldn't matter...
  7. Club Sale | It’s done!

    I've just read that the Qatari's are giving priority to buying Liverpool. A few people have said that they can't buy outright as they own PSG so it would have to be a minority investment? Can anyone shed any light on this? Is this true. Would hate for them to get a full Qatari take over while...
  8. Race for top 4 | Finito.

    Ideally a spurs win or a draw here and we're in the Prem race. You can spin it either way though...If Arsenal win, we have less competition for top 4, putting us potentially 8 clear of 5th and Champions League football for next season looking more likely. Still prefer option 1 though.
  9. Sancho needs our support

    This whole situation is pretty ridiculous. He's been collecting £350k a week for months now, on top of costing us £70m+ in transfer fees and hes petrified to make a wrong pass?? Whatever demons hes dealing with he really needs to get a grip and realise hes in a better position that 99.5% of...
  10. Wan-Bissaka for sale

    This always happens. We all come to a general agreement that a player isnt good enough and we need an upgrade. They then have a few good games, the club scramble to tie them down to a new contract, they go back to being not very good and....we're stuck with them. Eventually having to loan out...
  11. Mykhailo Mudryk / signs 8.5yr deal at Chelsea

    I'm getting flash backs of our transfer policy over the last few years. Ignore positions you actually need to fill, buy whoever sounds good and worry about where they'll fit in later. Couldn't wish better for Chelsea ;)
  12. Old Trafford revamp/could be torn down and rebuilt according to Glazer plans

    It's not only the stadium, the area around it is residential and run down. Small streets, old shops and transport links arent great either. Spending a billion on a revamp and keeping the stadium where it is seems like such a huge missed opportunity. Can you imagine a new 90,000 seater stadium...
