Might be a taxi for Howe sometime soon too if they don’t start winning games.
Talk in West Yorkshire is Farkle will be joining the unemployed gang soon too.
Weren’t they sacking him in the summer or rumours so can’t think the situation helps him.
Wissa, what’s the score? Wissa Wissa, what’s the score.
Taxi for Howe.

They wanted too but got a lot of bad press so bottled it.

Maybe reflecting a couple of good results doesn’t put us back in the title race might help some people’s mental health here.

I’m pretty sure we got told to get on with it when we’ve had this issue.
Hard not to feel like everything always goes against us.

We had 2 games on the same day in different continents and were told to suck it up and use our academy.
Typical favoritism for London clubs
There is a key difference in the situations - the FA has final authority over both games in question in the Arsenal/Palace case. In our case, it was FA and FIFA.

But the FA could have rearranged the game under their control but doing so would have opened them up to accusations of favoritism.
The exact same scenario they have now created by moving the Arsenal game

It is a football league competition. FA had little say.
Finalization of the new spending rules coming into place next season
In short it is similar to the squad cost ratio limits already enforced by UEFA, but with a slightly higher cap. It runs season by season but the impact of transfer activity is smoothed out by taking only the amortized annual cost of the signings, and uses the 3 year rolling average for sales as part of the income calculation
All teams are subject to a preliminary analysis in March and any team not below the green line will be subject to an end of season full review. The article doesnt really address what punishments are for exceeding the limit or what the red line represents.
While this article doesnt explicitly state it, the revenue calculations will now exclude revenue from the Chelsea style self-dealing moves like selling hotels to yourself, but we still dont have great answers for the City style related party transactions.

Everton moaning again probably.
Didn’t really understand that move from Newcastle to be honest.
Almost €60m for a 29-year old type of second striker who they don’t normally really use, who will be a backup on paper to Woltemade and who’s peak so far has been Lorient and Brentford.
He did get good numbers in his time in the PL and I know you need two quality options (Osula and playing Gordon as a forward are their other options), but that one I feel might go under the radar as a silent flop.
It turns out that them delaying selling Isak created a mess a little bit everywhere.
Oh well. Was hoping for a pick-me up with this result but not looking likely right now.
Another case of the ref ignoring a player picking the ball up after the keeper had clearly restarted the game. Common sense refereeing is great except for the times we’re told the ref was forced to do the wrong thing because that’s what the law/var protocol requires them to do

I missed it but if the ref called it, would it be a penalty?
Yes. And VAR somehow ignored it as well

There are a couple of games kicking off at 3, I reckon there’s a better than average chance it might be called against Forest’s opposition today to set the precedent…
edit - if vaguely applicable it will be called…
