    Replacing VDV & Romero will be expensive.

    Financial Results 2024-2025

    The club is loss-making on paper, but operationally profitable. Losses are largely due to clever accounting to avoid a hefty tax bill. Primarily driven by non-cash charges, notabily stadium depreciation (£70m) and player amortisation (£130m).

    Bigger Legend? Johnson, Woodgate or Nielsen

    Woodgate was only charged with fighting in public. Not racially aggravated assault.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Top manager. Plays attacking, possesion based football and can get players to improve. Good with young players as well. Verbruggen, Lamptey, Colwil, Caicedo, Baleba, Gilmour, Hinslewood, Ferguson, Joao Pedro all become first team regulars under him.

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    Appreciate the response.Respectfully, I think DeZerbi is a top coach and I am excited for him to be our manager. He may eventually break the dressing room but its just not realistic to except a coach to stick around for more than 2 seasons now anyway. Every single club he’s been to he’s...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    Football specifically is an extreme alpha male environment. As are most forms of elite sport and the behaviour of your average footballer, along with the way coaches interact with them would not be acceptable in most modern work places.

    Come on you understand the question. He’s a hero of yours just like most of us and the accusations against him are not only stronger than Greenwood, he’s the actual culprit. Had Walter Smith got the job over George Graham in 1998 would this be the reaction?

    We are talking about an industry entirely dominated by alpha males outside of a handful of athletic writers and YouTubers…..this guy is too much. Make it make sense.

    Would relegation be that bad?

    Ornstein is about as reliable a source as you can get and he said most players have a 50% reduction. So placing a 40% one is being conservative. I think with the players already off the books and Vicario, Romero, VDV, Dragusin, Richarlison sold we would be able to manage. The rest we can hold...

    Would relegation be that bad?

    £268 which cuts by at least 40% with the relegation clauses so £160M with another £15M in players already off the books next season. So your at £145M before anyone leaves. Not all contracts will have loyalty bonuses and if they do they would already amortised in the accounts. If a player...

    Would relegation be that bad?

    Vicario £15M Porro £25M Romero £40M Van de Ven £60M Kudus £50M Davies & Bissouma of the wage bill. Muani & Palhinha loans cancelled. Veliz & Solomon deals are already agreed for about £10M collectively. That’s £200M incoming and brings the wage bill below £100M. We wouldn’t need to do this...

    If the price is right clubs would buy every player on our books.
