Deacon Blue - Real Gone Kid

Belinda Carlisle - Circle In The Sand

EFL’s:

Re the bit in bold - the Stoke fixture hasn’t been updated as per the move for TV. This isn’t a criticism, I’m just mentioning it in case this needs to be added to your snagging list.

The interview with him on the club website also only mentions the deal running until 2027.

Note to club - this is how you manage a crisis and communicate to people. Well done to everyone involved and thank you for all your hard work. 👍

A cliffhanger, intriguing…

I’ve not seen but hopefully someone else knows the answer.

I can only see it getting worse.

I think the answer is simple. A lack of strength in depth and the owner’s/board’s failure to address this.

I often argue with myself. I nearly always lose.

Any help?: https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/16999652.day-ewood-park-saved-mystery-caller/

Boro look for ways to push the limits (re PSR) whilst our club uses the rules as an excuse for why things can’t be done. Agree wholeheartedly with your final four words.

Pears JRC. Sanderson. ? Pickering Forshaw. Buckley ACD. Dolan. Hedges Gueye One place left…

I’d certainly agree re the interest levels of Boro’s owners vs ours, I was just pointing out the (monetary) investment element. Of course the fact their owners don’t need to ‘plough’ endless millions into Boro could (and probably should) be argued to show how properly run they are. The Venkys believe they’ll get their money back if the club is promoted (source Venkys London accounts) - perhaps they need to back up this belief with some action. I have long given up expecting they will and the day they leave (please say they will) is a day that can’t come soon enough.

I’m not sure Middlesbrough’s owner does invest regularly in the club. What they do appear to do is borrow regularly against future transfer fees due (Akpom, Tavernier etc).

The clubs agree a date, if they can’t the league picks the date.

I think even he’d turn himself down 😁

Don’t worry, I believe @jim mk2 is going too so any loss will be attributed to him 😁

I think the answer is: If the forecast doesn’t anticipate a breach of P&S then events such as your example are of no relevance (in regard to P&S) as all it means is the club will stay within the limits by an even wider margin. If the forecast shows there is a risk of a breach then the following applies (with the club possibly having to sell a player by 30/6 to keep within the P&S limits): I hope that all makes sense, and I’m sorry if I’ve bored anyone with this 😁 I would have sent this to @Herbie6590 by DM but that facility still seems to be broken. edited to add: I believe there are two types of ‘punishment’ Those due to a potential breach (based on the projected accounts plus the previous two years final accounts) Those due to an actual breach (based on the finalised accounts (EFL submission deadline 31/12) + the previous two years final accounts) This would explain (and I know my example is PL) why: * Man U have just announced they’re at risk of breaching the limits for 24/25 but… * The PL have only recently announced no one breached the rules for 23/24.

They would, I’ll have a closer nosey at the regs later on to see if and how this is covered. 👍

Rolling cycle yes, I think next year it will be 24/25/26 (see my reply to Herbie)

I don’t think that’s right - see below:

Yep, going to be an interesting (probably not in a good way) summer.
