We’ve offloaded Fati and Lallana.

We sold 3 players for 180m last summer.

I Googled this, as I couldn't believe that they'd played each other that many times in their 100 year history. The hit did however suggest that it's 13,000 victories by the Globe Trotters and only 6 wins for Washington, so true odds 2167 - 1. I'm struggling to see how they managed that many...

Yes, there was a even a feature-length film made about it in 2019. The title left no room for ambiguity abuot the venue; it was called 'The Brighton Miracle'. I believe they are yet to make a film or Netflix series about a couple of whaling conferences in the early 80s.

Yeh, we are as we suffered the same issue over the previous 2 seasons - although transfer income of £380m should help in the longer term. Main difference being that we managed to finish 6th and qualify for Europe first. I doubt there'll be much reminiscence about the year you finished 10th.

Do we have an U21 good enough to be emergency keeper, or does this suggest that Rushworth is staying to be back-up with Steele as 3rd choice?

Agree. Sport is brilliant becuase there's always the potential for an upset on the day, whether that's because the underdogs play the game of their lives or the favourites have a bad day, or a combination of both. To manage such an upset over a 38 game season is incredible. The pre-event...

Thanks, mate. I have a bit of experience of what can legitimately be claimed when running a business. Some of what you've listed is claimable by an employee - mileage costs using own car, for example. A lot of the other stuff is tax evasion, albeit with an attempt at plausible deniability.

Why would an employee not be able to claim legitimate work-related expenses?

You can't just take money out of a Ltd company without paying tax on it - if only you could! They'll pay dividend tax of 39.35% on any money drawn from the company. When you consider that profits have already suffered corp tax at 25%, they'll actually get about 46p in their pockets for every...

60m is a decent fee, and, as we know, once you get a club prepared to pay the sort of wages that Man City will be offering, you don't really have much choice regardles of whether or not you have a release clause. I think that our gauge on transfer fees has been affected by some of the fees...

Athletic pubalgia (aka Sportsman's hernia) is a possibility in this case. He could've conceivably played the Euros, presumably with some painkillers, with surgery planned for as soon as he was home with a 6-8 week post-surgery recovery period. However, whilst sportsman's hernia is fairly...

We get paid for having players at the Euros. It's about 7K a day per player, starting 10 days before the tournament and until the day after their respective team gets knocked out. The report that he sustained an injury with Brighton before the tournament seems very suspect. He certainly didn't...

スウェーデン人の愚かな野郎はくたばれ

Of f*** off you stupid Swedish ****.

It's not becuase we're trying to stop clubs bidding for him; it's becuase we don't want to play a player who's head is elsewhere, particular in such an important position. We've done this before: Caicedo in Jan 2023 and Dunk at the beginning of 15/16. What I find the hardest to work out is...

If it makes you feel any better, I'm not sure Bart's actually injured. However, given the alternaitve reason for hs unavailability until our game the day after the transfer window closes, I doubt it does make you feel better.

Yeh, fixtures and someone put it on the Bart Verbruggen thread. It is however more intriguing than just another injury seeing as Bart has been on the beach since the Euros, so unless he hurt his back picking Wakins' winner out of the net in the 91st minute, it's perplexing that he's managed to...

Adding the situation of an on-holiday goalkeeper getting a 6-week injury to the fact that the transfer window closes the night before our 3rd fixture suggests that this may not be a completely improbable scenario.

I'm struggling with this as well. 8 days ago he was playing in an international sem-final. Won't he have just been chillaxing on a beach somewhere since then?
