If we get back up there we need to be bloody good at moving that ball from back to the front... watched Brentford muller Southampton at the weekend and Burnley suffered the same fate last season.. same for Leicester so far.. tough tough school

Totally agree and whilst it`s the dream to get to the PL you have to be very wise in who you bring in.
I too am not convinced Rutter and even Sinistera will make it in the PL but you never know.
Not too many teams get promoted and stay in the PL for long.
I have to say Brentford are very much the exception to the rule on what is probably a very tight budget compared to others.

Extremely well coached and well run club Brentford. They've just let go their best ever striker and not even blinked...

Plenty of justified outrage on social media this morning, regarding Leicester club potentially avoiding fines for misdemeanours.

got away with it expoiting a loophole, which will be covered up too late

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Thu Sep 05, 2024 10:13 am  

Just bring the rules in line with most of Europe and set transfer/wages/and agent spend limits based on a percentage of club revenue. Much easier to police and enforce.
There was talk of it happening from next season, but don't know if it's confirmed

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Thu Sep 05, 2024 10:23 am  

rules have changed but not sure on the details

The whole things a farce. It seems the authorities are happy to throw an unprecedented 15 point deduction Leeds way and then the likes of Everton etc get treated with kid gloves and even get sanctions reduced on appeal. Jokers.

PSR is now dead an buried in it's current form after Leicester getting away on a technicality. It's unenforceable. Clubs can delay/alter their accounting dates to get around the rules just like Leicester have. Shambles. They cheated and got away with it knowing that the EPL and EFL couldn't touch them. They were on for at least a 9 to 10 point deduction according to the chap who is a football finance expert on the Athletic FC podcast.

James out for a further 4 weeks which is a shame.
I would go with
Meslier
Bogle Rodon Struijk Firpo
Ampadu Gruev
Ramazani Gnonto Solomon
Josephs

Think I prefer Gnonto in the 10 and Aaronssen might be jet lagged.
