I’m sure the proposed owners will give not a shit

 

[AndyWolves]

Of course they won't but that's not my point.

It's better than the sycophantic bollocks the equivalent group at Newcastle came out with.

How does owning PSG and Man Utd work from a UEFA perspective? Do they just bin PSG and sign Mbape?

A group own PSG of which the slightly rich guy who wants to buy Man U owns a bit of.
This will be a personal purchase so gets around the UEFA rules

They made their bed with the Red Bull teams. Any old shizzle will do now.

I have nothing but delight for what that United group have stated. Everyone on here I think knows that LGBTQ+ rights are a huge thing for me with my child being transgender so I salute their statement from the bottom of my heart. I just don’t think Qatar will care. The World Cup told us that

INEOS have also put a bid in for Utd

Christian Atsu's body has been recovered in Turkey. He was 31.

 

[Keef]

Bolton confirm a five year deal to rename their ground to the toughsheet arena!
It’s on their website confirming it’ll be renamed in June for the start of the new season.

 

[The Bear]

Sounds like an April Fools prank.

Molineux should be named that, sponsored by the PGMOL.

I see Neymar has picked up his annual Injury that allows him to attend his sisters birthday party

“We applied and it got rejected, so now we’ve appealed. We can’t understand why it’s been rejected, looking at the rules and some things which have gone on in previous years. We’re hopeful the appeal is successful,” said Forest head coach Steve Cooper.

“When you read the rules and you look at it, then yes, we were surprised (that their application was rejected). Maybe I shouldn’t have sounded as confident as I did, but it’s happened before on many occasions.

“There’s a lot of things I could say, but I’m not going to. We’ll remind them of the rules they wrote, and hopefully we’ll be OK with it. Fingers crossed.”

What fucking planet is Cooper on?

I'll tell you the rules Steve, you get to name 25 players at the start of February, you named them. That is it, end of story, game over.

There is no clause that says "if we need one of our billion spare players who are doing nothing then we'll just add him back in yeah, no bother".

Steve needs this I think

Birmingham City have been charged by the EFL with alleged breaches of regulations. Multiple charges of misconduct relating to the failed takeover bid last year, with "the club and a number of other individuals" facing sanctions. Charges to be referred to an independent commission

Be scoring by sliding one in the box later then

New policy from Brentford. If you're a STH and fail to attend 4+ home games from next season, you can't renew.

They can sell their seat if they can't attend to avoid any penalty. Its still a good idea as it gives other supporters a chance to attend and stops more affluent folk that turn up when they please from leaving their seat empty.

 

[EpsomWolf]

Presumably they’ve got a waiting list as long you arm and are happy to jettison the punters not spending further money in the ground.

I dunno, people buying a season ticket irrespective of the number of times they plan to attend seems like good money in the bank to me. Get the feeling Brentford are getting a bit carried away with the upward curve. That never ends well.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We have fans who have home STHs, hardly ever attend and sell the ticket back to the club most weeks, but use it to go to away games.

Can't say I'm keen on that.
