I guess they've done something naughty

 

[BillyDee]

Doesn't sound at all like Juventus...

 

[Paul]

Thought of signing Adama in January?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I suspect it’s more to do with a rather impressive £220m loss.That takes some doing.

 

[The Bear]

Like the heady days of Calciopoli

 

[Lupo]

Like the heady days of Calciopoli

Except it won't be spurring Italy on to win the World Cup this time

 

[Kenny]

Maxi Lopez no longer buying Birmingham

“In light of our due diligence we attempted to renegotiate the terms of the original agreement to reflect our understanding of the current business status, but could not agree revised terms with the current owners. “We have been left with no alternative and are bitterly disappointed as we know what this club means to the community and the very loyal fanbase. We really hope that BCFC finds an owner who is as passionate about this club as we are. ”

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

In other words there is a massive financial hole in the books

 

[Tredman]

Or they’ve sold off random assets.

 

[Tony Towner]

Or the cost to develop the 2 sides of the ground which are closed is unsustainable

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

£45m loss for Arsenal to go with £105m loss last year. I’m sure they will be fine but those numbers could mean a bit of an FFP squeeze. Must get Champions League you would think

I doubt they'll not be in it next season or be in with a chance of not winning some sort of silverware this season.

Buying dreck like Pepe has certainly not helped them.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They look like they over paid for Partey too. Their ticket revenue is huge with Europe games in there and they must get a boat load from Emirates.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They're really crap at selling players, especially compared to Liverpool and Chelsea.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Pele in palliative care and won't last much longer. That's so sad. Devastating.

 

[Alan]

I'm sure his family was out saying just the other day that things weren't actually that serious. Weird shit.

 

[Paul]

Pele in palliative care and won't last much longer. That's so sad. Devastating.

Nearly a goal a game for club and country, it will be a sad day but his name is already etched in the annals if history

 

[Jonzy the ref]

So sad.
