@icecreamavfc@MrWayneGarton@CFCMJordan They weren't the same were they, Luton concealed their evidence and refused to cooperate, Chelsea literally gave every bit of evidence they had, went above and beyond to help, that's the difference.
We also didn't hide it originally.
@MrWayneGarton@icecreamavfc@CFCMJordan This is why we didn't get a points deduction, because half the league, including United are under investigation by HMRC for the same thing we did, and if you give us a points deduction, everyone else gets one.
@carrotsnpeas84@CFCMJordan You mean an ageing United, who weren't willing to pay the large agent fees in the first place, Hazards on record stating he preferred the Chelsea project due to squad age, we paid the agent fees and paid him more.
He also felt he had a better chance to start at Chelsea.
@STIGUCD@ASouthCFC@CFCRobL No, before VAR the premier league trained linesmen lifts his flag for offside, they're told not to raise the flag for close calls now to let play go because VAR will sort it.
And they are told to do that, debatable red, very clear offside that most could see without the lines.
@MaxpowerSol_@CFCJIMMY14@absoMUTEly@CFC_Decatio Based on every metric, from our first league title with Mourinho, we were known for 1 and 2-0 wins, we didn't concede 15 goals by attacking for 90 minutes.
We're and always have been a counter attacking side, the difference now is we play for control and possession.
@garek80@chillarjr270106@XxDrRespectXx@InvertTheWing@MePhili66436 2012-2013 actually, used to be 10 appearances, and much less medals, and in the first division only the starting 11 got medals.
If you don't want someone to imply you don't know anything, don't act like the internet doesn't exist.
@garek80@chillarjr270106@XxDrRespectXx@InvertTheWing@MePhili66436 That's not how it works, you get a medal automatically for playing 5 games or more, but the premier league winner is given 40 medals and is allowed to give them out to players who didn't get 5 appearances if that's what they choose, so you don't know that do you?
@ichigocfc@Denno876er@justcfc So you have a player sitting there with a transfer request refusing to do anything, getting paid for the next 6 years, that very dumb logic?
@kinglampard4@ChelsTransfer@BILD Or sensible, what happened to Courtois after a long term loan to a club that made no secret they wanted to sign him permanently after his loan?
He got comfy, had a family and forced a move to the same city.
We need a CB, have one here where a club made no secret in wanting him.
@Rob_Waghorn @TipandTap1 What are you on about, we were nearly bankrupt at one point, yet with little money still had the likes of Desailly, Zola, Gullit, Vialli to name a few, Lampard in 2001, Champions league before the takeover.
We were top 4 before the so called silver spoon.
@MattyR1997@SamSBGBWFC Which is irrelevant, like everyone they're governed by fair market value rules, hence why we always pay good money to RC Strasbourg, even though we're owned by blue co, we aren't allowed to give money away, even when we saved Aldershot in 2013, there had to be a deal attached
@SamSBGBWFC@MattyR1997 Currently includes Parachute payments for the relegated clubs, EFL want that abolished, as per BBC sport, the EFL want more and the premier clubs walked away as some of them aren't posting profits, this is 2024 anyway, even if the figure after was £700 million, still a lot
@MattyR1997@SamSBGBWFC The premier league gives £1.6 billion to the EFL and football pyramid currently a year, why don't they ask them for the bailout.
@StuartThomson9 Poor to use us when we have helped others previously, 2013 we helped Aldershot out of administration, but the premier league sends at least £550 million a year to the lower leagues as of 23/24, not saying it's high enough, but that numbers going somewhere.
@lee_anderson9 @Success37271017@AFC_Monty_ No point arguing with a wall, but if you're getting at the asset sales for our net spend being illegal, transfer net spend doesn't include those, and every other club voted to allow it because they also want to use it, but we're the issue.
