Don't ruffle any feathers with puns on here.

[Kevin Carr's Gloves 4217]

Have they given him the bird?

[Dr Gloom 23385]

What a cock

[Sonatine 11878]

He must be raven mad to post pictures like that 

[Dr Gloom 23385]

these bird puns are too much to swallow

No PSR charges for 23/24. The Chelsea accounting department right now:

Absolutely mental that selling hotels is fine for PSR. 

 

But aye, no PSR charges and there'll be no big signings on deadline day either. They've absolutely fucked the whole thing. 

 

The thing most likely to change the rules now is if Man United can't easily buy their way out of their current predicament.

Surely this sort of shit just opens up an infinite number of loopholes now. If that is acceptable then what isn't?

 

We seriously need to start taking the piss now - PIF need to gift some of it's shareholdings to us that we sell back to them at cost.

Just heard a sports bit on the radio where 'Unitedl'© aren't expecting any incomings but will be hoping they can sell Casimero to Saudi because, hey! That's perfectly fine when the selling club trying to offload finished players for a fee that doesn't meet current market value play in red shirts in the NW of England, nothing to see here, guvnor. Also actually stating they're wanting other clubs to pay more than half of Antony's wages if he goes on loan which again is perfectly fine as by coincidence I've only just informed the Jackal's wife in the new series that I'm expecting some saucy behaviour from her next time I venture to España.

[Gemmill 49267]

The Jackal's wife was something else btw.

Good lord, don’t get many of them to the pound 

[PaddockLad 18799]

Fuck it. Sell Isak to Saudi for £300mill  in the summer. What the fuck could they say?.. “You’re not allowed to sell to yourself”??….

 

 

 

[PaddockLad 18799]

The Chelsea thing probably guarantees that if we end up selling him he’ll go to a direct premier league rival. Are we at the stage now, and I don’t think am a massive believer in conspiracy theories, where the Premier League are being paid off to make decisions like these?

they'd find some dodgy way to swerve any breaches anyway: 

 

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said the club reluctantly let youngsters Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh join Nottingham Forest and Brighton respectively in order to remain compliant.

 

Howe referenced the club's summer transfer dealings in his news conference on Tuesday morning, when asked if the club was in danger of breaching PSR.

"No, I don't believe we are [on that list]," he said.

 

"The breaching of financial fair play for us was something that we fought really hard against in the summer to not be in that position - and that's why the departures of the ones we didn't want to happen had to happen."

 

Chelsea, who spent £747m in the 2022-23 season alone, sold their women's team to the club's parent company on June 28 2024 - two days before the end of their financial year - in order to boost their finances.

 

The Blues' sale of two hotels next to Stamford Bridge to a sister company for a fee of £76.5m was cleared by the Premier League in September.

Aye, the sale of the women's team hasn't been cleared yet as being of fair market value. If it's passed then I can see several other clubs doing just the same thing.

[Ayatollah Hermione 14554]

I’m sure the rules will be similarly lax if we try anything
