Hayden :lol: He was shite when he was good. Mind, remember Bruce trying him as the most advanced midfielder? You can laugh about it now but dear me.

 

Didn’t Murphy get a similarly long contract to Hayden? That’s worked out OK since he’s become a decent option but at the time, it was more lunacy

Hayden actually was quite attack minded when he came here. After a while he was good for making physical tackles in which he injured himself. Doesn't have the body to handle the physical type of game he played.

As well he should. Hayden makes him look like a moderately gifted amateur at best when it comes to the art of sliding tackles.

Considering he fucking plays for them this is a massive shock

 

Apparently Spurs are now interested in him though

Spurs are one of the many clubs £1bn in debt who can seemingly spent freely in the name of solvency & “fair play” .

 

The whole thing is starting to feel like a con. We might be better off throwing some money at some evil lawyers & challenging legal side of FFP. 
 

It’s a fucking joke.

If we splash no cash this window, pull it out to get Bowen on a free in summer. 

 

You slag

 

Given that he's got a contract until 2030 we'd be doing very well to get him on a free.

I think its just a stand off with Phillips at the moment. They want rid of him and want a big loan fee. Hopefully our plummet down the league might persuade them to do us favour and swerve the loan fee. Plus, if he plays well then it might put in the shop window.

Man City started this FFP selling home grown players becuase they were good at it.

Chelsea did it for a long time, and are fast approaching their next hit like a junky  'Gallagher for FFP'

 

Talk of selling Bruno for extra FFP - it's so sad. We're not allowed nice things etc.

 

Staveley/Howe have built a spine before Ashworth came in - (Pope > Botman > Bruno > Isak)

 

No, no, no we didn't start FFP. Granted it was introduced to stop new money clubs, like us, from threatening the establishment. 

Whilst we've always had an academy, we rebuilt our academy AFTER the introduction of FFP. 

As an aside City voted against the introduction of FFP, Newcastle voted in favour of it (probably Ashley trying to avoid spending). 

Fulham, West Brom, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Swansea and Southampton all voted against FFP whilst Reading abstained, Had Reading or one other club (such as you guys) voted against it, it wouldn't have had enough votes.

But that's history now.

Aye but we'd still have UEFA's FFP rules so it would still be there for anyone at the top end of the table.

 

that's a really interesting point.

 

although it might be awkward if you spent a £10billion in one window to win the premier league causing you to fail UEFA's FFP.

 

or worse, all four clubs at the top of the premier league being banned form europe for failing ffp 🙃

 

originally the rules were meant to be to protect clubs against themselves. overspending and going into administration etc. keep that aspect as it still allows for free owner investment.
