Genuinely rather be Team Jordan than be on that neanderthal wet lettuce fake intellectual looking HELMET, Keown. Jordan talking sense for once. 

Again and as usual Jordan is talking absolute nonsense that doesn't stand up to the slightest bit of investigation. Were we supposed to buy players in January 2022 (our first transfer window under new ownership) when faced with relegation that we intended to sell for a profit 2 and a half years later (July 2024)? Obviously not, the only priority was Premier League survival. So having miraculously achieved that in the next window are we supposed to buy players who we can then onsell for a profit one and a half years later? Who did we buy?

 

22 year old Alex Isak (La Liga), 22 year old Sven Botman (Ligue 1), we made 26 year old Matt Targett's transfer permanent after he had a stellar end to the season. Bought Nick Pope (30).

 

Alex Isak and Sven Botman could be sold for a profit (probably even on the back of Botman's ACL injury) but we don't want to sell them yet. Even Pope we could sell for a profit on the <£10 million we paid for him, but his value to us far exceeds that. Targett is the only one we couldn't and his price was recouped through not being relegated.

 

Even in the next windows we bought young players who for the most part have increased in price (e.g. Gordon, Minteh, Tonali, Barnes). All good business overall (unlucky on Tonali's suspension and Barnes' injury).

 

The only not fit for purpose windows we've had were under Ashley and this most recent one under the stewardship of Mitchell. Too early to judge him harshly on this alone though. Yes we do need to now shift our approach a little, but this is because we now already have a quality first team and squad and players who are attractive to other teams. We also have training facilities that are 2.5 years enhanced, a vastly superior coaching staff, a much much better commercial income and a much broader scouting network. Now we can start to take even more chances on bringing in young players of promise with a view to them either making the first team or turning a profit. It's not a unique strategy, everyone has been doing it for over a decade, some are just much better positioned to do it effectively. Now we are too due to the hard work across the board in the last 2.5 years. Celebrate the success of the last two years and plan for our continued evolution over the next several.

What is termed the  “Scots Language” branched off from Middle English at some point around the time of Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales” . Got to hand it to Simon Jordan there, he seems to have repeated that clever linguistic trick ie inventing  a language that is recognisably English but is actually a new virtually unintelligible form of it all on his own in the time he’s worked in the media. Kudos. And in future a fuckin 10 day TT ban for anyone posting links containing the insufferable fuckin twat talking about anything :cuppa:

Talksport twats going off like the Toontastic boys. Simon Jordan very much in the Gemmill/Toonpack camp
 

 

 

I can't believe for one second that either of them would be that desperate to be seen to be right that they'd be happy to lie in bed with simon jordon.

oh, hang on.....

Tuck your tail between your legs and waddle off. Your comments are not fit for purpose.

When Luke Edwards says that Mitchell and Howe have buried the hatchet keep you eyes peeled for Saudi embassy workers leaving the training ground with bin bags filled with blood soaked training gear labelled EH. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Went to see Keegan do a talk in Durham last night. Decent enough, albeit pretty vanilla stuff. Slightly cheapened by the 30mins in the middle of the show where Pete Graves chaired an auction of the audience for a chance to get a signed shirt and a photo off KK.
 

There were 16 people left in at £400, all side eyeing each other and doing quick mental sums to figure out how much they could bid up to without being murdered by their wives when they got home...only for Pete to pull out a big box of shirts and a card machine to announce they had all won the auction :lol: The folks who sat down at £350 were all gutted!A nice £6400 in KKs back pocket for 10mins work

Man City APT case separate to the 115 charges carry on. Significant for us and may partly explain the last two windows . @LondonBlue do you know when this is this being heard?
