Summer 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

Norwegian press saying we've pulled out of the Nyapan deal due to ffp issues and having no money.

I would state it is more that he has done nothing of note this season when he is supposed to be breaking through. One goal early on but highlights (and I stress highlights) I have seen of the other games, he always seemed lost and not involved in any of the attacking play.

Joao Felix not in the Chelsea CWC squad. You know what’s coming next.

Tying those deals up before the ban.  Brilliant stuff.  They really are the biggest bunch of ******.

They are, but so are all the people letting them get away with it.

And yet Guardiola is saying he’ll quit if they don’t reduce the size of the squad!! He’s an arse!

Which includes clubs like us who haven’t stood in the way they, Chelsea, Man U etc justify their revenues. It’s fucking shit that fans of other clubs have to watch this go on and there is nothing we can do. The rules protect the established few.

Agreed.  It might be a wonky perception, but there seems to be zero pressure from anywhere that matters on this being resolved.  A decision / ruling has been 'imminent' for months.

They still used them in the histopathology department at the Royal Marsden Hospital circa 2010 for sharing reports between hospitals. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if that was still happening.

They phased out fax machines at Manchester University NHS FT, I'm going to say around 2016-18?  It was a few years after I started working there (2013) anyway.

One thing I find funny is that a while back I was asked if I could investigate automatically retrieving reports from electrodiagnostic testing (something to do with eyes, not sure what exactly).  Went to see the doctor down there, who was an utterly lovely chap, and he said "Yeah, if you like ... I'll show it to you".  He then proceeded to show me that the machine outputted the results on to a 5.25" floppy, which was then loaded up on an Amstrad machine to copy it from a 5.25" to 3.5" floppy, and then on to a third ancient-looking computer that had a 3.5" floppy drive and a network connection.  He'd said if I worked out a way to automate that, he'd be a very happy man - otherwise the best way was to get them off the network drive, which is exactly what he'd been telling folk to do for years.

Erling Haaland has probably had a word.

He'll be loaned out somewhere and sold in 2 yrs having never played a first team game for them.

Loss of Champions League money affects income and also players attitudes towards comings and goings
but I still can’t believe we’ve been caught out because we’re not in it

We’ve managed to qualify for the Champions League once in the last 33 years since its inception so it would be a bit stupid to now believe we will be perennial qualifiers,
at times this season it looked as though we wouldn’t get any European football at all, so they must’ve made contingency plans for this sort of thing

Not qualifying for the big cup holds us back in what we would like to do, but I don’t believe it’s caused a ffp crisis


Edit- should have gone in the FFP’s thread but can’t be arsed

Nypan will get loaned out to Girona.

Madness!

I have only recently (in the last couple of years) managed to get rid of the fax server at work. Sales kept moaning that we had to have it, because customers still faxed through orders…

In the end I had to take advantage of a phone system upgrade and told them the line had to go before they started telling those three or four customers to email instead. Which they instantly started doing.

We don’t have any floppy systems, but I did have a pair of 3.5s land on my desk this year with accounts from the 90s on. Because, you know, I’d need them or something.
