It’s refreshing to hear people be honest, Japan was about the commercial side - I don’t really agree with it but at least he didn’t make up some waffle about it being good for the players to play in a different time zone in a different climate.

I agree, that openness with the media and fans seems to have become more apparent through the years, I like to think I am open, albeit some don't like it.
Hiding stuff is never a good thing is it? Just starting to get excited about this season. I wonder how RDZ would have felt about the money we have splashed this season?
Would he have wanted 200m?
Was he unhappy with 100m?
Or has TB released the extra cash to make sure Fabian can stand a chance of turning over RDZ position?

Judging by Marseille's signings so far I reckon it's not the transfer spend per se that was the issue, it's wages...I agree, that openness with the media and fans seems to have become more apparent through the years, I like to think I am open, albeit some don't like it.

Okay, sorry I haven't seen anything about Marseille, what sort of wage budget do they have then?

Given the perilous situation in Ligue 1, they’re at the higher end for sure based on their signings. PSG are miles ahead thanks to their owners, but most of Ligue 1 is treading water. Eight or so clubs are posting enormous, unsustainable losses. Whilst the total revenue in Ligue 1 has grown 17%, spending is way above that and driven by four to six clubs.
It’s a shit show.

Thanks, it certainly sounds like it, could RDZ regret his position in going to ligue 1? Was he too trigger happy?

Paul Barber always represents the club so well. We are very lucky to have him

I'm going to have to do some housekeeping here.
Look, it's not difficult... if you call someone a rapist, should they challenge you in court, it is up to you to prove that it is true. If that person does not have a criminal conviction for rape, you may find that difficult to do regardless of what news stories have been published.
I don't want to be in court because someone has posted something on here they can't back up, and I don't want someone to be financially-ruined themselves for doing that.
Regardless of what has happened and news reports, do NOT throw around accusations that you can not back up.

What happened here
I have no one on ignore yet seem to have missed a post or two! It went from PB being open and honest to a warning about libellous statements on rape.
Edit: I'm guessing the problem post got removed.

I imagine Bloom assumed if RDZ had the money we would sign 7 Dahoud's.I agree, that openness with the media and fans seems to have become more apparent through the years, I like to think I am open, albeit some don't like it.

Nothing earth shattering, confirmation of pending outgoings.... made a firm statement that they would like to keep WBG although also added that we have a competitive squad.
Wouldn't be drawn on any Celtic player transaction.
They love him on TS, but if he continues to be a bit beige with his answers, they may not continue to have him on so regularly.
