• If O’Brien is at right back for the first game of next season I’ll lose my mind. I like the lad and he should be at center half next to Jarrad, or maybe in a back 3… SIGN A RIGHT BACK FFS!…. And get rid of Barry. He is the single worst player I have ever seen play for us. Those two things alone would improve us. ...

• Jay #8, under PCR aren't we allowed to spend 85% of our revenue on the team? So by your figures we have an extra 10% available which is £20 million, plus 10% of any incremental value, so not a lot. We're going to have to sell to buy so the team won't really change that much. The ghost of Chairman Bill is still with us. Perversely, the PCR for UEFA is 65% (?) so we would have to reduce our costs by 10% if we'd have qualified....

• Forget about attendances at these events, the organisers / promoters will be paying a fixed fee to the Club to rent the facility. Whether there\'s 20 or 20,000 or 200,000 the Club don\'t care, the organisers receive the ticket revenue.rnrnCatering is outsourced so again, the Club receive a rent, the caterers receive the sales revenue.rnrnEngland fixtures are a different matter if it\'s the Club promoting the event and they may even make a deal with the caterers for a percent of the sales revenue....

• Mark, I don't think we need to spend £40 million per player. For a top quality striker perhaps, but nowhere near that much for a right back or a young central defender. One of my very favorite young right back targets, Juanlu Sanchez of Sevilla, can be had for less than £20m. So can Hackney. Wan-Bissaka's reported price tag is £10m. Nor do I expect the club to spend up to its entire available ceiling in one window. As I've said before, I think this management has a "slow and steady" plan. And I think the Dibling foolishness will prove to be a one-off, the result of a partial staff working under a time crunch....
