When Drummond or someone cracks and takes out FV it'll be this century's Franz Ferdinand.

If we've complied with FFP, I wonder what sort of wiggle room we've got with regards to strengthening come the summer.

I'd imagine sell to buy like last summer again. Bailey, Watkins, Ramsey, Cash, McGinn, Kamara, Konsa and Tielemans all have a lot of FFP value don't they?

Maybe Bailey, Cash and McGinn would be the ones to sell who would affect the first team strength the least?

Our figures for this season should be even better given our CL money and the sale of Duran; so hopefully it means we don't have to sell anyone that we want to keep; and add 2 or 3 more.

I wouldn't mind if we sold Cash and Bailey; but we shouldn't be selling McGinn.

Agreed. Practical and sentimental reasons…

Meanwhile Chelsea record a profit because they sold their women’s team to themselves which is within the rules apparently 🤷🏼‍♂️

Well, we need to get on it then. I think we’d have to buy it first as I believe we don’t own it at the moment.

Therein lies the issue. I assumed this was April Fools joke.

if we qualify for either the champions league or another European competition how will we comply with the new European rules next season?

Our owners must have very deep pockets to continue to fund our club every season.

They have incredibly deep pockets, but you’d think there’ll be a limit.

They sold their own hotels to themselves last season for £80m and the Womens team this season for almost £200m. It's a total farce what they allow Man City and Chelsea to get away with.

Whatever they've put in, I'm pretty sure it's covered by the value of the club now compared to what they paid for it.

Was it a total farce when they allowed us to get away with selling our own ground to ourselves?

That wasn't the Premier League.
