I suspect you're right, but I've not spent a disproportionate amount of time pouring over accounts and plugging it into a spreadsheet!

I'm miles off knowing (or if I'm honest particularly understanding this) but if we're on or over the limit for PSR after the sales weve made what the **** has happened? We've hardly been throwing the cash around and I thought we had a much tighter wage structure now. Are we saying if we...

He was a top class player but didn't really fit into the drinking "lads" culture under Robson. Really poor man management from him. Can't help but think an England International in the side might have been worth the few extra points needed to avoid relegation that season.

There's a few not reading the exam question properly on this thread.

We're always skint though aren't we? The club makes a loss every year. I'm no expert clearly but have read threads from posters who know more and issue has always been more FFP headroom. Which I think is really good at the minute. So if there's not much to invest then I'd guess thats because...

Can't deny I'm enjoying the frothing at the mouth about 16 year olds judgement from the same demographic who gifted us the car crash that is brexit. No sense of irony. (aware not every pensioner voted brexit. Its aimed at the 65% who enthusiastically voted for us to shoot ourselves in the foot).

Arguably though better equipped to understand just because something is on the internet, doesn't make it true.

Thought he was decent and did a job for us. Karanka's first season wasnt it? 6 in 18 is a decent return, particularly in a very defensive side. We've had far worse.

I'm just waiting for roll on roll subs to be introduced. Only a matter of time "it'll cut down on injuries". Ronaldo to be brought on just to take penalties for the next 40 years.

Stuani. I rated him and wanted him played up front, but I'd be lying if I said I expected him to spend the next decade as a La Liga goal machine.

He'll be out on loan to sit on someone else's bench by then.

Nailed it. Although I do enjoy people making t*ts of themselves on the internet. Particularly when they have misplaced confidence in their own understanding and double down despite literally every man and his dog pointing out they're wrong and why. You've got to admire the hubris. 🍿

Because its a map of counties not a map of catchment areas?

Adam Johnson I assume. Although he wasn't a regular starter that relegation season so think Schwarzer is probably misremembering that a bit.

"When we had our struggles in the PL, the players weren’t getting the basics drilled into them from an organisational perspective." This felt really obvious at the time, even as a fan. Felt like the players lost the ability to pass the ball to each other. The difference not just tactically...
