McCoist bang on talking about VAR doing handball snickometer now.

Disallowed, boooooo.

Germans losing.

He's having a VERY bad week.

We've not waited a month. No one is trying to help us out here by doing deals with us at the start of the month. Buying clubs will obviously wait til the last week of June cos that's when their leverage is at its highest, cos they know our predicament.

For what we're trying to do, and the stage that we're at, I think you basically HAVE TO put yourself in a PSR hole and back yourself to get out of it? By growing commercial income, signing young players to flog, getting into the CL, having a higher quality squad with a greater resale value, etc etc. We've started this journey with a bargain basement squad and the worst commercial income in the PL. Given the restrictive rules, you either take calculated gambles, or it's a 20 year project.

I think they've just gambled on some stuff and it hasn't worked out - getting out of the CL group for example. Which, if we had been in any sort of reasonable group, we would have had a chance. Had we had Tonali for the season, that would have changed things too. They've tried to sell Almiron and Wilson, with the former refusing the move. That was probably plan A for sorting this and it didn't work out. Also, don't forget, the PL has moved the goalposts during this three year period in terms of associated party transactions as well. It's not an exact science when it's being done over a 3 year period like this. They're trying to balance making progress and improving the squad with not breaking this stupid fucking rule. It won't be easy. There's so many moving parts, and we're in this massive growth phase for the project - if they're not pushing the boundaries, we'd have had to be much more conservative in previous windows, which none of us would have wanted.

Hmmmm

It's around £26m of the PSR hole, which, according to Swiss Ramble is around £44m. £18m to go.

Just keep doing reports on Minteh at Brighton if that's what you need to get through this. We won't say anything.

Never stopped ewerk. Just post it now.

ewerk breaking the broken news. He hasn't been the same since the food poisoning.

I don't know much about him off the field. He looks like he couldn't even work the dishwasher though, so you might be right. Just standing looking at the dishwasher and looking at his wife. Dishwasher. Wife. Dishwasher. Wife. All the while with that manic grin on his face.

No chance, it'll be much more than we're paying him. He's gone.

We're taking the dribble deduction, and YOU will have to lump it!

Sorted. Shame if he turns out to be mint, but it's a MASSIVE "if", and he's a million miles from irreplaceable. If this resolves our PSR problems, then I'm very, very happy.

I hope he gets the Sunderland job.
