Window prick is in today. We are in an air-conditioned office. Stop opening the f***ing windows! As soon as he fucks off, I'm shutting them all. Prick.
The only way is success on the pitch and commercially but its a long game.
In maybe 10-15 years time, the barrier to entry in club ownership will be too significant for clubs to be bankrolled to the same extent as now by anyone other than state investment funds. The growth in commercial...
Lets not kid ourselves. Brexit was an act of self-harm but it was only made possible by the self-harm inflicted upon ourselves previously.
If we had a democracy which was truly representative and worked in the interests of it citizens, not it's corporations, Brexit is unlikely to have...
I've seen some of the analysis this weekend and it's a bit sensationalist.
Football is all about controlling the space. You can't control the entirety of the pitch as there aren't enough bodies so you have to leave gaps somewhere. A lot of more defensive teams cede areas out wide between...
We do and you can see RDZ trying to get Milner to shore up that space from RB by starting out wide then dropping infield - he just does it very high up the pitch (see the Gilmour chance highlights for example)
There's no real tactical issue with the first goal. Reasonable positions taken up...
I discussed how you deal with De Zerbi's tactics a fair while ago on a Liverpool thread. Due to the Goalkeeper being involved in the build up, it's very hard to commit enough players to the press to win the ball high up against us. You either have to have us making mistakes or pressing has to...
Everyone should pay less tax. BUT, the tax base should be a lot larger. I think there is a massive argument for an automated payment transcation tax but there is very little chance it'll ever happen in this country unfortunately so long as the ultra wealthy protect their wealth. The more...
Nothing to stop us putting a package together that eclipses the clause long term. I.e. £8.5 + 20%... Puts seller in a better position, costs us less up-front and we have less risk. A clause means nothing if the player doesn't want to move. Negotiations are fun!
Activating the release clause puts everything in the players' hands. Going below it gives the selling team leverage. I'd imagine we're trying to negotiate to a) get the player but also b) ensure the club are happy with the offer they get and c) ensure we have a good future relations. This...
