The Football News Thread 2014/15 - Everything not Wolves News Related

[Deutsch Wolf]

Looks like QPR may avoid the wrath of a huge FFP fine if they get relegated as they say their losses last season were £9.8m (down from £65.4m when they were in the PL the year before). The figures have to be ratified first though. Clearly that doesn't really add up - as their wage bill didn't come down by that much, they didn't bring in that much in fees for departing players, they still signed truckloads of expensive players yet their income vastly decreased - but I don't think the Football League have the best forensic accounting on their side and they'll probably just wave it through. We can't complain too much after they let our "£33m loss" for 2012/13 go through with no questions asked, meaning we sailed through for 2013/14.

Looks like the League have grown a pair and said that writing off internal loans doesn't count as income (which of course it shouldn't).

An excellent gesture by Brighton to replace the tickets.

Is there a way to post vine videos "normally"?

Sunderland to review the decision to suspend him on what is presumably the reason that the bail period has been extended. Being closer to the relegation zone or the length of time that the investigation is taking should not cloud their view on the matter.

What a terrible penalty. The goalkeeper dived the wrong way, but had time to get up and stop the ball crossing the line.

Adam Johnson has returned to training for Sumderland.

Adam Johnson has returned to training for Sumderland.

He will be asking for a few extra tickets in the family enclosure.

3 left backs seems a bit pointless. Though not as pointless as sticking Andros Townsend in there again.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

What does he see in Townsend, seriously.

Reflection in his forehead?

I'd be rather annoyed if my name was Charlie Austin.

Only two goalkeepers because Foster is injured?

Yep.

Butland is 3rd choice according to Roy, but he is with the U21 but we will be called up if we need him to sit on the bench

Tag him in for Luke Shaw.

 

[Nando]

He'll inevitably play Rooney off Sturridge with Welbeck on the left so there's definitely space for another forward in there.

 

[Jolemai]

Does our defense seem a little weak there?
