I find that highly unlikely, they'd definitely have gone down his fat kisser.

Because the owners have been turning down interest the second it's registered, ever since they took over the club. Since everybody knows they're not looking to sell, nobody offers to buy. Hopefully that changes at some point, especially with the financial issues.

I'm fairly sure those clips are sped up a bit, some of them don't look quite right. So I wouldn't read too much into the tempo.

He won't be free, he will cost compensation due to his age. Awful goals record in League One for a striker. Never hit double digits.

It's the three club rule. Though I imagine it's done with 2 clubs on occasion.

Big risk to only give a 2 year deal as well. If he is up to the level you immediately need to start negotiating a new deal, with a significant rise, when the season ends. I think a 4 year deal would have been a risk (that said he may not be on much), but I don't think a 3 year is too much risk.

The flipside of that is he would have signed a contract if we hadn't lowballed him.

He's discovered the outside.

Because you've watched his games?

Seems strange to sub a keeper 58 minutes into a friendly. Not like keepers can't handle 90 minutes.

He's a bit old for that...

No, their starting keeper Dibusz stayed on. Sweden won 2-0.

Dunno if it's been mentioned, but De Neve appears to auto qualify for a work permit, with 18 points (15 needed). So he won't take up an ESC slot.

We'll Neve sign him

That increased wage that no fee brings just gets swallowed up by the player wanting a bigger wage because they know you're not paying a fee.

And then tells us to judge after 10 games, and then that any players who haven't been totally atrocious are good enough. Then says the next window will fix it and cycles through the exact same pattern in January.

Essential costs vs transfer costs has utterly no relevance to an anti fraud or money laundering unit. Their remit is to deal with fraud, and money laundering. As far as has been heard, there is no official allegation by them of impropriety over transfers, and even if they suspect it (which we almost all do), the judge isn't on the anti fraud or money laundering team. In theory at least, he should follow the letter of the law. Government pressure notwithstanding, he would still have to be able to justify, legally, not permitting transfer funds but allowing electricity bills. There's also a very solid argument that transfer funds are an essential cost of running a football club.

Does it not? They're doing that because of impropriety in the accounts for when they sent money here to buy Neville's house. They've no particular reason to stop us doing transfer business.

Mostly agree, but it isn't unheard of at all. However it's pretty close to it for players of his age, who were on a longer deal at their existing club. It was a very odd deal. I can only think we weren't willing to pay a wage he wanted unless he proved himself, and he took the gamble for a chance to put himself in the Championship shop window. But I also suspect we must have bought out his existing contract, in which case why not just give him a longer deal here with that money and gain security. Very strange.

Is this a rumour or confirmed?

Where has this figure come from?

That's an incredibly generous interpretation.

Talking about online.

I've never once seen Dolan brag about his ability. Actually he seems quite a grounded and humble lad. A higher pay deal and getting out of this circus, as well as escaping certain sections of the fans who give him an undue amount of stick, is bound to appeal. That doesn't make him arrogant.

That deposit has to be carrying a lot of the weight there, surely. Lease costs might have come down too, I dunno, but that's a huge difference in vehicle value for you to be paying a smaller monthly. Either way I expect you'll really like your new car. One thing Polestar and Volvo will do together is help Volvo avoid the fines for not producing enough EVs as a percent of their sales in the UK. Any petrol/diesel car sold above the allowance means a hefty fine, and companies who sell more than enough EVs can sell their credits to other companies to avoid those fines. Or in the case of Volvo and Polestar, probably just give them to Volvo. If Volvo are already selling enough EVs as a proportion (I've no idea if they are), then the credits can just be sold to other companies like Ford who probably aren't meeting the requirements. Other countries have similar schemes.
