    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    I've really not kept up with the rules of FFP but feel I should try to get my head round it more. One thing that keeps getting mentioned is how selling youth products is best as it is pure profit. This seems like a crazy way to run the system as if anything you'd think FFP should be promoting...

    Dele Alli at Everton

    As much as I hope he turns his career and life around I think he needs to show he can perform first.

    Player Watch Player Watch: Timo Werner

    If a loan was available I think that’d be the best option. He seems like a good professional who wants to play.

    I think that’s quite a poor take. The underperforming players do the same whether Werner is playing or not.

    Can we take a moment to laugh heartily at Everton?

    Some of the posts in here about their ambition and guaranteed top four challenges will be funny to read now.

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    Not known, just made up. A baseless criticism of our chairman.

    Finding a buyer takes much more than simply the chairman's asking price, so yes completely unrealistic.

    We've completed permanent sale deals at 2-3 a season since 2019/20. So the chances of finding permanent buyers for 9 players is extremely unlikely.

    Writing your analysis in capitals as FACT doesn’t make it a fact.

    Eberechi Eze

    Unfortunately he signed a contract extension in November up to 2027. I like him but don't think he's available.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    One poster brought that up, no prizes for guessing who. The time for judging CV's is at the recruitment stage. We've seen Ange in action for almost a full season now, that's what the sane people are judging him on.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Yes. The important thing is for the manager to see it through, get good results in the transition period, for the board to help in seeing through that vision and for the fans to have the patience to see it through. At the moment I think the manager is doing his end of the bargain, we appear to...

    Our net spend has been around £100-150m a season for the last 5 seasons. We have several positions to fill including 2 full backs/wing backs and a reinvigoration of our front line. Persisic and Dier will be off which will free up some wages then we'll be looking to sell Sessegnon, Royal...

    Spence was a bad one off. We did spend on huge wages for Perisic. We also brought in Romero, Richarlison and Bissouma during Conte's short time here.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    The point is that pretty much every manager needs specific types of player and character to fully function, but this takes time. It's never fixed within 1-2 windows. Ange seems to get this and it appeared for a while Conte did too. Then Conte started moaning to the press and criticising the...

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    I agree in general. At the beginning of the season most of us would have been happy with top 6 and some improvement in our play. However, sometimes in football opportunities present themselves. The top 3 have been very good but Chelsea and Utd have been poor. Villa have been decent but have...

    You going about Conte all the time is beyond boring and just spam at this point.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    TBF the vast majority here are very supportive of Ange and believe he’s doing a good job. Most of the analysis is questioning aspects of the job rather than as a whole.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Why would we be judging a manager’s CV when he has already been at the club for almost a full season? Surely we should be judging him by the job he is doing not what is on a piece of paper.
