Toonpack 9343 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I would think the glaring gaps in our sponsorships (training centre and SJP) are awaiting this ruling. No point doing a deal under the current bollocks rules if there's a chance they'll change. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Significant for us and may partly explain the last two windows . @LondonBlue do you know when this is this being heard? Stefan Borson on x just tweeted on the APT case. he suggests the case concluded a while back and that it's outcome is still being written up. doesn't sound hopeful based on that tweet but hopefully the tweet is about balance and managing expectations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6552 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 This seasons cup is mental. Almost all the big hitters are still in it because of that European bollocks which basically separated them last round. We’ve got very little chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know, the bigger sides are more likely to rest players for this as the prize money is peanuts. That said they often have the depth to rest players and still have loads of quality. If nothing else now that it's at home this is a chance for us to try something a little different with not a lot to lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want to be a "plucky underdog" and you want to become a big hitter, you've got to beat the big hitters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but Pep aside all the other managers are going to want to win a cup and this presents them with the easiest opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather lose to a big hitter before the final tbh, sick of losing finals to those cunts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine we'll see "Aramco @ St James' Park" for £300m, or anything. But we might get more money, for more APT deals, more quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BREAKING: Manchester City appear to have secured a potentially significant victory of course the PL postponing a vote could just be whilst they reword their dodgy APT clause Isn’t the case about whether it’s anti-competitive to block the deals? Not sure a rewording would work in the instance. You win this and we can effectively do what we like. They’d tie themselves up in knots trying to justify why certain deals aren’t FMV. We’ll see you at the top soon. Top of national league north that is. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
