After 3 years of complaints, there's still no evidence that ALK aren't in control of the finances.

Between the repeatedly late filings and the general lack of transparency there's not much evidence of anything.

I can see why HBO ended up passing on this one.

How much will we get back for him ? The growing player value project doesn’t appear to be going well.

According to some posters on here it's impossible to lose money on the players we bought last summer.

How they've arrived at that conclusion I don't know.

JohnMcGreal

Stay.

This season has been a write-off for a while now, but he has to be given the opportunity to put things right next season.

That said if the first 12 games or so don't go well I think he'll be under serious pressure.

An awful lot of people seem to describe Amdouni as a luxury player. I think that's extremely charitable. I don't think he's even that.

Real shame for him. He's not had much luck this season. Hopefully he recovers well and comes back stronger next season.

It sounds like the redevelopment of Manchester United's football stadium is a matter for Manchester United PLC and its shareholders.

As a UK tax payer I don't give a stuff what they do with it, as long as public money isn't going towards it.

Esteve okay. No great shakes but against one of the best teams this league has to offer he was comfortable-ish

I thought he was absolutely awful. Couldn't find a claret shirt for toffee and looked miles off it.

JohnMcGreal

Can anybody explain the purpose of these loan deals with obligations to buy after a number of appearances? From our point of view I'd imagine it gives us the opportunity to take a player and if we don't like the look of them we just stop playing them before the appearance threshold is hit, meaning w...

Personally don’t think the constant criticism of individual players is helpful and it’s probably unfair. There were ironic cheers when Ramsey completed a pass in the second half, just before he went off injured. How does that help a young player? The problem is the squad, not the individuals within...

ITV national news at 6pm.

Since onset of covid in feb 2020.

Strangely the bbc omitted any comparison.

Strange they even mentioned Covid. The real root cause is what happened the month before. We left the EU in January 2020.

I guess the national omerta is still strong on that.

What the knockers fail to grasp is that he is up against a Premier league defence and goalkeeper in training every week (unlike last year). Maybe, just maybe, he isn’t capable of scoring past them?

The players we paid fairly modest fees for last season (and in some cases ended up playing really well for us) are now unplayable and unsellable. The players we've paid pretty big fees for this season don't look good enough and we'll probably be making a loss on most of them, if we can even shift th...

It's hard to put my finger on but there is something strangely cold and distant about this team and I'm not really sure why.

It's a nonsense story. If we're even close to a situation where this is required then we've all got much bigger problems to worry about. Although we probably won't have that long to worry about them.

Because this is another proxy for people to hammer the current owners of BFC

Not really, but it would be nice if they could concentrate on getting the basics right at the club they actually own before they start looking around for their next acquisition.

JohnMcGreal

We’ve sent two, possibly three if Mellon goes, young players on loan to get SPL. In what way is it pointless? They were already out on loan and I doubt we'd have any trouble loaning them out elsewhere. I just don't see what the club gains from this. It looks like a placeholder for ALK until the rul...

Ferdinand Foch, French military leader and supreme commander of the Allied armies in 1918, was critical of the Treaty of Versailles. He wanted total demilitarisation of Germany.

That conflict must surely be the single most catastrophic episode in all of human history.

Firstly because of the unimaginable scale of the slaughter and destruction at the time and secondly because of what it ultimately lead to a generation later.

Completely mind-boggling.

JohnMcGreal

Just checked the stats because I detect the usual Burnley “anti flair player bias” on here. Vitinho, Brownhill and Amdouni (somebody else ridiculed wrongly for this) were the only players to attempt more tackles than Tresor last night. He won one, missed two, OK, he isn’t very good at tackling, but...

JohnMcGreal

I think he's looked poor and disinterested all season but his sub appearance tonight was genuinely shocking. A 'performance' like that in a game like that is completely unacceptable. You've got wonder what on earth was going through Kompany's mind bringing him on, especially at that stage of the game.

Re:Henderson. He won’t come back to UK if any European clubs want him. He’d have to pay tax on all the money he earned in Saudi, has to be working out of the country for 12 months.

At a meagre rate of 20% I don't think he'll care too much.

The centre of midfield looks incredibly lightweight. If we're playing Cullen and Ramsey together I think we need to add Brownhill as well, making it a midfield 3.

Same issue here. I'm still waiting for my refund to be credited for the Everton game over 2 weeks ago.

He’s obviously not ‘injured’ then. I used to know what players were available but everything is so secretive now. Wouldn’t be surprised if Benson and Zaroury’s noses have be put out of joint by being binned off after the efforts they put in last season. Which probably means they won't be as useful ...

JohnMcGreal

I'd just assumed Benson has been injured / unfit for pretty much all of this season. This suggests that maybe he has been available but is just out of favour? Either way, he's not getting near the team for whatever reason. It's not too surprising to see him wanting a move. I imagine there'll be a fe...
