WTAF is going on with prices?
Man City ok, I guess , but £70

Arsenal, nothing ground breaking. £100 , though there seems to be some available for £70

And the star of the show.

The New England Women's shirt, in junior sizes £100 FFS.
How they sell any at all baffles me.

That England price is for the same version the players actually wear though isn’t it. Mind you the cheaper replica shirt is still £75

I had a pound bet accumulator on all the prem games yesterday. Would have won £258. I had every game as I wanted it bar the Leeds game (which I had Leeds down to win) Cashed out for £30 in the 90th min just before they f’ing scored

Not a rule change as such but about the best way to get the prem clubs take the FA Cup more seriously would be to give the 4th champions league spot to the cup winners. Or even a league cup versus fa cup playing for the champions league spot.

Disgusting.

The OP’s comment about it then reversing the result of 2 games played over 90 & 120 minutes is seriously bonkers though.

It’s Forest. We’ll allow it

Sorry, but with FFP we can't afford to fork out for one.

It never made sense to me. Why did they keep the fork in it? I always thought it was being thrown

Surely this needs its own thread for discussion

They are going down my thinks if Burnley beat Watford and Everton lose to Chelsea next weekend

Surely if you lose twice to the worst team in the division you should lose your job

If only SL has some contacts for investment firms. Hmm!

Apologies if this has been said on one of the other 119 pages of this topic but the saddest part of this whole saga is that I’d bet Derby get into the Prem before we do. If we ever do in my lifetime at least

Ouch! This on the BBC text commentary

If they do drop into the Championship they'll get a "there there never mind here's a shit load of dosh" 

Even then they are in the financial shit. A lot of the players will leave and they’ll have to try and rebuild with no money. They aren’t prepared like a Burnley or Norwich or Watford for coming down to the championship then going straight back up again. I think they could go down to league 1. Everton are my 2nd team as well, as if supporting City wasn’t bad enough

I’d beg to differ.

He had Derby who we know at the time were chugging along looking to cheat FFP and had Mount, Tomori and Harry Wilson as loanees. It’s fair to say he had a very significant good hand squad wise and probably fell below what he should have with the resources at disposal.

He then had one of the biggest clubs in the country where minimum expectations are top four and took them to 10th. A higher win percentage than given would be expected.

This is the first job where he’s got an underperforming squad and no inbuilt advantage by way of income and squad quality from others. And he’s ballsing it up big style.

I posted a few days ago that Lampard was a very unintelligent player. He’s equally an unintelligent manager and isn’t really showing to be tactically astute. I expect this to be his last job in the game.

Other than all that he’s doing ok :laugh:

Pfft £4m is that it!?

Like to see what my Adidas goalkeeper shirt signed by David James and Danny Haynes is worth then

And with 100 million odd in parachute payments I certainly would agree with you, surely something has to be done to stop rewarding failure like this.

Everton are in the FFP shit already and that’s with the prem money. I can see them struggling if they went down.

And I see them going down as well. They don’t seem to have the relegation scrap mentality that Burnley and Watford have.

The thing you're looking at with all three though is that we're not necessarily selling the player but rather selling the potential.  All of these players have the potential to reach the very top with the right coaching and in the right environment.  The clubs that would be looking at them know that there is a high chance of a large profit on each of them. Two other things to consider is that 1) We don't need to sell, so silly low prices won't get them and 2) we turned down a rumoured £12(?)m bid for AS on deadline day didn't we?  I may have got the figure wrong, but it was reported that it fell short of out valuation nearer £20m.

In other words, pay what we want or bog off!

Players with potential don’t tend to go for as big amounts as players pretty much ready to go.

If we have had a £12 mill bid for AS and turned it down then great but I don’t think we’d get similar offers for Semenyo and HNS for the reasons I pointed out earlier.

As I also said if we can afford to keep hold of them and get more once they are fulfilling that potential more then great

 I guess we’ll find out in the summer. Hoping your right and I’m wrong and we get huge bids for all of them and KP.

 Ok, kidding about that last one. I’ll accept anything 

@Taz @Steve Watts just my opinion but I just don’t think we will get the kind of offers people hope will solve all our financial issues.

HNM is still very young and inconsistent

Scott also very young and raw

 Semenyo, still young and not potent enough in front of goal to attract big fee offers. 
 

None of them are prem ready like Webster and Brownhill were hence I think we won’t get big offers for them.

 It’s whether we can financially keep hold of them till they do attract those bigger kind of offers which I don’t disagree they could be worth in time

@Taz Can’t see us getting anywhere near £50-£60 million. No chance. £15 million tops for all 3.
