We won't have an issue when Aitiros buys the women's team for £100m im a week or two and when we sell the Warehouse to Comcast for £50m or whatever shenanigans we will be forced to undertake.

We sell Bailey and it'll be fine. Keep our powder dry on the others until we really need to.

It's pretty obscene to say it, but in football terms, £15m is fuck all. We should be able to piss that with selling the players out on loan.

Have the premier league not already just closed that loop hole on selling women’s teams for PSR purposes?

I think Chelsea have been cleared to do it haven't they?

No. Premier League allows it. UEFA don't so it won't help us with the wages to revenue calculations for those competitions.

I thought that they’d already done it and that others were looking to follow suit. The premier league saw Chelsea doing another ‘clever’ move and then have now closed the door on others doing the same.

Sorry then; I must have misunderstood. So many bloody different rules to try and follow.

There was a vote on it last week and it failed to get through so it’s still allowed.

Presumably Everton have got until the end of the month to try and sort it.

Not that they’ve got a great deal of saleable assets, Pickford, Braithwaite and then I’m struggling.

Pickford if Emi goes wouldn’t be the worst move, he’s a bit of a nut job but he might have the personality to play for a decent team like us.
My Evertonian mate rates Pickford very, very highly indeed.

Pickford has a very strong case for being the best keeper in the league last season.

They didn’t even bother with the vote in the end. There was no support for it.

There really isn’t any fair play anymore. This is a good listen regarding PSR with Stefan Borson

Interesting. We keep getting mentioned as a club who is potentially up against it.

So are we up against it or not?  I cannot listen to that currently.

Thx for posting TV; useful. I haven't seen Borson before: he seems credible (he's a cross between MON and Martin Freeman).
There was a contradiction in what he said: on the one hand he said that PSR is dead; on the other, he said that Villa were in for a 'meaningful' PSR exposure. He also talks about Villa having invested heavily last season without acknowledging the outgoings that we benefited from.
