Incredible isn't it?  Bournemouth, they of the 23000 gates for a home game, have spent 100 million quid.  We can't spend shit.

Not particularly incredible. Bournemouth have a wage bill one-fifth of ours and have sold £200m-worth of players this summer.

Indeed, it’s about net spend.

Not for long.

PSR is going.

But replaced by what? does it materially make it better for us?

[Sexual Ealing]

No, it's SCR.

Makes it harder for Bournemouth at 85% ceiling of roughly £115m.

Bournemouth's Vitality stadium only holds 11,379. Walsall's Bescot stadium is nearly the same at 11,300!

Wages 2022-23: Arsenal (£327.8m), Chelsea (£337.8m), ManU (£364.7m), Liverpool (£386.1m) and ManC (£412.6m).

Revenues 2023-24: Toon £320.3m, Villa £257.7m.

A level playing field? Hardly

PSR is going.

Is it?? Fuckin hope so.

Premier League are aligning with UEFA's rules. It's SCR is worse for us.

Be less worse next season if we're way above £300m as I suspect we are.

Be less worse next season if we're way above £300m as I suspect we are.

Next season will include Champions League rev and Duran, Carlos, Philogene sales? A few articles said the 70% spend, salary and agents fees limit combined with the €60 million of allowable loses would be tougher on Villa.

I'm pretty bored by it all. Didn't check the Newcastle score until a few hours after the game. Caveat is that I'm driving around Europe, but usually I'd still be locked on to it and fight to find a bar. Completely disengaged this summer too.

Think it's the capitalist nature of the game being advertised so unavoidably. Not sure how many fucks I have left to give at this stage. I'd rather watch competitive sport than figures on a spreadsheet projected on to a pitch.

Loving the golf and cricket though. Masters was top level drama and England - India great. Looking forward to the Ashes. Don't know who Villa have next.

You had me until the golf.

There should just be rule 1874.82(c) - 'The Villa can spend whatever the fuck they want.' I just can't see who would have an issue with this.
