Appreciate this but please remove the line about Chelsea - it causes a visceral, physical reaction on this site. Hurzeler will get far more time at Brighton than at any other Premier League club and if he succeeds, and the timing is right for all parties, he'll be allowed to go on his way to...

I get amortisation, and why businesses do it. It makes sense in that world. I don't think football clubs should be allowed to amortise player sales. It's not a true reflection of income and outgoings. It means that you can game the system pretty easily (look at Chelsea's 8 year contracts) and...

He doesn't actually play for St Pauli any more. He left at the expiry of his contract at the end of this season. Supposedly he's signed for another Bundesliga club already but it's yet to be announced.

If KDH goes to Chelsea, it will likely be paired with Gallagher leaving. The way amortisation allows for clubs to pretend they've made a profit is silly. If they buy KDH for £40m and sell Gallagher for £40m (both on 4 year contracts lets say) it shouldn't be reported as a £30m profit in my...

He's staying at Napoli. Glorious. They aren't willing to lose both Osimhen and Kvaratshkelia and are going to give Kvicha a new contract to keep him.

If we miss out on this fella I've heard there's a French lad called Mbappé who is quite good...

I was told expected within 48 hours on Monday night...

It's the national living wage which has replaced minimum wage for 21 year olds and older. It is still good, because they could legally pay less for an 18 year old but much easier to stick to the minimum national living wage for adults rather than legally exclude anyone. The way most get around...

I'm aware, I meant in purely footballing terms quite obviously. Utterly mad to think that I was implying anything else.

Yes, Sascha Lewandowski... They'd fallen out well before he moved and Lewandowski had moved from co-manager back to the youth set up which led to a significant drop off in results and the sacking of Sami Hyppia at Leverkusen. Sammy Lee also decided that he'd not be working with Hyppia so we...

A fully paid, rotational, 2-year internship, for people not going to University. This is really good from the club.

Everton feel that they were harshly judged by FFP terms being "just" £19.5m over the allotted losses. They're backing this because it would've been very easy to get a rich owner to sponsor the reserve team for £25m a season, rather than desperately trying to sell your overpriced, underperforming...

Because football should be fun. And we're in a position where it can be fun. We weren't when GP came in, and he did a really good, positive job that was rightly recognised in the circumstances. His time at the Albion was safe though - a draw is better than chasing a win and losing, the aim first...

Just trying to convince everyone he hasn't been rumbled as Swansman's alter-alter-ego.

Ist Fah-bian (as in do-re-mi-fa-so) Hurtz-uller (as in ouch it hurts but with a z and eurgh ler)

This would be cool as f***. Look we got rid of the coolest manager in the history of the club, I'm not sure I can go back to a bloke who thinks wearing a bobble hat is a fashion statement. Give me the German techno Wunderkind as a continuity of cool please.

It'd probably cross-over the line into funny tbh. Even funnier if he suddenly became the Manchester United manager.

Ed Aarons is normally very on the money. I'd heard that the club had met with Potter last week so this lines up. My opinion is that it probably doesn't work for either party, and paired with the articles in the press released in the last few days about Potter waiting on either the England job...

Killian Cahill and Ben Jackson both offered deals as well (yet to sign) according to the PL retained list. Odd that there is no mention of either of them in the article.
