We’re not selling Isak man. The Saudis aren’t going to be pushed around to that extent. They’ve played by the rules so far, but they’ll find a way to get past the June deadline thing, probably by flogging Minteh 

 

I’d like to think you are right but…

Ok Mr Bruce

A petulant goalkeeper hoys his dummy out the pram because he doesn’t want to share with an England no 1 and off he goes to manchester ufuckingnited at HIS choice.*

The amount of blatant VAR fuck overs, nowt said

We are just too “nice” man

It’s pissing me off

 

*Oh aye and welcomed back with the cunt being cup-tied for his own team against a team he’d barely played for in our last major cup final.

But even that feels like a kick in the guts given that Minteh is quite an exciting prospect and no doubt better than some of the dross we have on our books.

If we're operating under the assumption that it's about what the stakeholders of it tell us it's about. As far as it's actual intentions, it's working brilliantly. We have a points deduction hanging over our heads unless we sell a talented teenager or one of our stars.

 

Honestly, I hope ManC win every single trophy going until such time as we're capable of competing because despite all the bullshit we will get to the top eventually. All of this nonsense is just slowing things down.

Of course, but the only way to change it is to prove that it doesn't acheive its alleged objective.

 

Ultimately The premier league should also know better, it's actually in their interest for new powerhouses to emerge so that there is meaningful competition for trophies and if all teams in the league can strengthen it will only serve to dilute the talent pool for competing leagues/products.

Fuck this shite. What's the fucking point. 

 

 

 

How can Liverpool afford what I suspect will be in the region £100m on a single player despite their horse toothed former manager crying about them not being able to compete yet we have to swap a prospect for a slightly younger Wilson clone just to make ends meet.

 

Surely shit like that should prove the rules don’t work, unless of course the rules are to keep the top clubs at the top.

If we're prepared to sell Gordon, then Bruno and Isak are also absolutely for sale. It's a joke this though. All to meet an arbitrary figure. 

 

I'd honestly take the 6 point deduction over this. It might cost us CL but it's not gonna relegate us or anything. Good chance selling one of these lads costs us CL anyway.

I have wonder if we're having all of these talks take place so upon review we've been seen to be trying to adhere to PSR even if we don't quite get there (e.g. if a Minteh sale falls through, or doesn't happen before June 30). In the meantime momentum seems to be building for other club's objections to this misguided legislature. Are they really going to want another season marred by numerous asterisks and protracted legal proceedings?

it’s all smoke and mirrors. The Saudis know what they’re doing 

 

I don't think it is at all. I think we're trying to comply with the rules and we'll have to sell someone to do so, and we're exploring all options. Why would Liverpool play along with this if it was all just a ruse?

I’ll believe it when I see it. But the Saudis aren’t the type to be pushed around. This strikes me as tactical move to put more pressure on the PL to end the psr bullshit

that’s more like it. Value them both at £25m and were sorted aren’t we?

I think it’s tactical. It’s so nonsensical - the idea that the richest owners in world football are forced to sell the best player to a league rival. It’s too ridiculous to take seriously. 
 

I’ll be appalled if it’s true. I think it’s almost certainly bullshit story designed to highlight how pathetic these rules are

I wish I had Gloomy's level of confidence. Of course, there is a big chance that's it's all smoke and mirrors. For instance, perhaps it's designed to generate leverage in the Minteh deal to show that we're "prepared" to sell someone else to clear the PSR hurdle if necessary thereby convincing Everton to drop their price on DCL. It's possible. I dunno.

 

I know that it's certainly not good for us all sitting in the dark with a story every few hours about one of our key players leaving. :lol: 

 

Like Gemmers said, we sell one of Isak, Gordon or Bruno and that's a big chance we're fucked for being competitive for 4th and CL football anyway. I'd take the points penalty. Then concentrate on the political game to articulate exactly how anti-competitive these rules are for developing teams.

Well this is embarrassing. I've posted just about the same thing as CN at the same time. Our thoughts may have touched and I may be contaminated.
