They can't argue the toss. Those are arms length transactions with clubs that we have no affiliation with. They are, by definition, market value - in fact for Minteh we accepted less than Lyon offered us because the player didn't want to go there. And I completely disagree that it was mismanagement. They wanted to sell Anderson in January but he was injured. They tried to sell Miggy in January but he refused to go. Think something similar happened with Wilson. In the end, they sold two peripheral players and got £8m for a bloke who we were paying to sit around the house. He's now off the payroll now too. It all happened at the last minute because it was in the buying clubs' interests to make us wait til the last minute. Same reason a load of transfer window business happens on the last day, cos it's the point of maximum leverage. I honestly don't see the problem with it. We had a messy situation and we got out of it without any of our big stars going. Shame about Anderson but I suspect he was never going to be good enough for where we want to go. I don't know why there's so much fuss being kicked up about it. Fans on twitter saying "we need answers from the club". Answers to what? We had a PSR hole and we sorted it. There's your fucking answer.11 points

No I don't think it's that, Dougle. I think I just misread something on twitter.11 points

Not saying this against you by any means, but shit that's being thrown Miggy's way on twitter is a disgrace. We all want to see us sign someone better but the lad has done nothing but graft his bollocks since he's been here. I realise there is a heavy moron presence on twitter but the lad deserves better.10 points

I’m gutted we’ve sold Anderson. I’m also annoyed that the board has allowed this to eventuate. He’s not quite Gazza/Waddle/Beardsley but it smacks of that era. The difference being back then we had to sell to stay afloat. Now we have to sell to, essentially, keep the top table free of riff-raff. Fucking bollocks man.9 points

Nice to have a genuine Scottish person posting on here BTW, instead of just the three lads that watched Braveheart and started saying wee instead of little. You know who you are!9 points

So @Isegrim, any chance on helping out a mackem in need. I mean, I know we don't always see eye to eye with the fans of massive lads, but we're all from the NE ateod, just like Oz when he famoulsy followed Sunderland during one of their many frequent European games. So, are there any classy establishments like the Blandford in Berlin?9 points

Hall permanent deal done/confirmed. I read somewhere (can't recall) that he's young enough to be signed as an academy player and so his fee doesn't have PSR ramifications, could be shite mind. It's absolutely tragic we can't just sign players without thinking "how's that effect the books" !! Boils my ancient piss.7 points

The thing that makes me think he might turn out good is that he's gone to Brighton. When he was going to Everton, I was confident he'd turn out shit and find himself playing in the Championship sometime soon.7 points

It's fucking shite like. Off field its like the accountancy olympics on this place with the specky twats like Gemmill/Dazzler/ewerk having a nerd field day. Meanwhile the fuckers have ruined the game on the pitch with VAR. My mature piss too is turning to vinegar.6 points

Twitter is the absolute dregs. If you're ever stupid enough, and I am often am, to click beyond the top level tweet into the replies, it is invariably an absolute bin-fire of the worst of humanity. I can well believe that some absolutely terrible things are being said about Miggy, but at the same time, the lad could, at the very least, read the dishwasher manual.6 points

Wykiki is the closest thing to a twitter user on here. If someone has 3 good games they are ballon d'or contenders. Three bad ones and they should be banished to the SPL.6 points

I'm assuming 10 points is the maximum possible penalty and that the likely penalty would've been in line with previous penalties, with Hope's "understanding" predominantly the result of his being a journalist and therefore a drama queen who suspends his common sense for the sake of a provocative headline.6 points

First off, I like how he starts his piece with (a paraphrased): "There will be clever people that agree with me that these questions need to be asked, but there will also be thick cunt fan boys of the new ownership who can't even tie their own shoes and are happy to go through life with their eyes closed." Always a great way to get people to read the rest of your article. He then immediately reveals that he doesn't know the difference between transfer fees and profit on sale of a player. A bad start. The rest of it is just a typical Michael Martin misery fest. Most of what I assume he thinks are really challenging unexplained questions, are nothing of the sort. Running a football club is hard. Trying to get a completely stagnant football club to compete at the top level is even harder. Trying to do all of that whilst remaining in compliance with crazy PSR rules is harder still. Gambles needed to be taken, and were. And at the end of it all, we've managed to meet our PSR requirements by selling two peripheral players, and getting compensation for a bloke who we were paying a pretty penny to sit around his house. A pretty successful outcome all things considered. And all this bloke wants to do is piss and moan about it. Gordon and Isak are still here, but he wants to fucking moan about the fact that they might not have been. We've had our pants pulled down cos Man United only paid a reported £8m for Ashworth. What a misery.5 points

Blame psr, not the clubs doing what they can to navigate this bullshit and avoid a points deduction. Hopefully this will be the end of it in its current form. It’s killing the game, along with VAR4 points
