He has, and has been coaching some of the academy goalkeepers this season around his first team duties.

You're using "objectively" incorrectly. Objectively, according to UEFA, on paper, we were the third strongest side in our group and we won it. You may think that subjectively we were favourites to win the group because it is your opinion that "Greece, Netherlands and France - all of which...

Has he actually admitted it? I thought the ban was for some entirely unacceptable behaviour and new name or not, he shouldn't be allowed back for it...

Hughton took a team that were heading out of the Championship via the back door, made it likeable, did the impossible and got promoted from the Championship, and then kept it in the Premier League and took us to Wembley for the first time in over a quarter of a century. Potter was the right...

He's Swansman and I'll struggle to be convinced otherwise.

This is the bit I'm quite confused about and perhaps someone with more knowledge of buy-back deals understands... If Stuttgart paid the fee and he agreed a contract, and we triggered the buy-back clause, couldn't Undav just turn down our contract offer and remain a Stuttgart player?

Get yourself out of the funk lad. Those two earlier games have the potential to be slightly mental! Plus last 2pm kick off in the week today. Enjoy it whilst it lasts!

The absolute headloss after a 1-1 draw... Still almost certain to top the group. Just a reminder that in the last Euros we were a whisker away from winning the whole thing and scored 2 goals in the group stage (2 wins and a 0-0 draw).

Aren't the reports saying that it's actually more complicated than that? That if Stuttgart pay the fee, we can buy him back for essentially the same fee (slightly more apparently) and then sell him on for more elsewhere. So Stuttgart have to offer us above the fee they originally agreed...

I think the OP is the first person in the history of football to say they like Sam Matterface, professionally or personally.

Dairy Milk [Insert variant of your choice here]. Leave this country and you realise, as a go to comfort chocolate, there is nothing that compares. It's obviously not the "best", that'd be some ludicrously expensive luxury product. But it is the best quality standard thing we produce in this...

I believe his official title is Chief of Understanding for New Talent. If Barber is a CEO I don’t know what that makes him…

Kicker reporting it's done and set to be announced this weekend. We've had to triple our original offer of compensation by the sounds of things.

It depends where you're looking. Capology isn't a good guide. Aubameyang is not a player we could ever afford to employ. There is Roberto's issue solved.

They've spent almost €200m in the last two seasons. They're owned by a remarkably rich American who has been able to regularly turn down offers from Saudi Arabia. Deloitte note them as having the 20th biggest footballing revenue in the world. You're mad if you think we have a massive budget...

Oh I get how amortisation works (which your explainer is spot on). I just think it's a really stupid way of looking at footballers as products instead of seeing them as employees. As others have said, if everything is able to be amortised in the accounts, you start to move into a doublespeak...

Absolutely, but I don't think clubs think further than the short-termism approach that it encourages. The only answer they're left with is to sell off all of their academy products in "pure profit". If we ignore the shitshow that is Chelsea for a second, it's how City have been run with great...
