2024/25 David Moyes


Very guarded about the future of Branthwaite.
Thinks we might have a bit to do yet to escape PSR... at least that is how I heard it. If you want to sign JB then bring a big bag of money, but certainly did not say he is our player we don't want to sell and we don't have to.

I hope I am being unduly pessimistic.

Said we have a bill to pay. We definitely have to sell someone.

Id be very surprised if anyone pays big money for Branthwaite, will still be our player next season imo.
 
He's a completely diffeent beast these days. Can only be good for the squad to see a manager who smiles with them and doesn't laugh at them.

And no matter how token it might be, refers positively to the fans and the differencee they can and do make.

It just feels that he's opened the curtains and let the light in.

Anyone got any idea what the bill is we've still got to pay (P&S rules)?

Lets hope its not the Dyche keeping us up bonus.
 
Honestly don’t know how we still have PSR bills to pay. I know it’s a rolling 3 year count back so made sense for the spending during the Silva and Carlo years but we’ve barely spent a bean since 2022 so why are we still having to pay the piper?
Imagine he came out and said we are in the clear and can spend in the next window...everybody would be putting a premium on their players if we came and bid because we have bags of money. Cagey chap this Moyes.
 
Need to try and keep JB for as long as possible.

I understand the need to generate funds via player trading, and that will have to become a feature of transfer policy, but I don't think we can get maximum value for him yet.

He will surely break into the national setup soon, and that will add to his value too.

Sell players yes when we need to, but be as hard nosed as possible about it.
 

We’re the only PL club in the black regarding transfers too I think.

20/21: 27th December 2020. We’re 2nd in the table under Carlo Ancelotti.

We then presumably tell him that because of PSR there’s no money in January so we bring Josh King on loan, and then completely fall apart in 2nd half of the season. Carlo goes at the end of the season.

21/22: We give Benitez approximately 1.5 mill for Gray and Townsend on loan and ship out James, Bernard and Walcott. Digne goes in January with Mykolenko and Patterson arriving on permanent deals.

22/23 Richarlison and Allan go in the next summer window. Gordon is then also sold in the January window. Onana McNeil Garner Maupay and Gueye arrive for fees. No signings in January.

23/4: Iwobi Kean Gray Cannon Simms all sold and Mina let go. Beto and Chermiti arrive. No signings for the manager in January

24/25: Onana Godfrey Dobbin sold, Gomes ooc, Ndiaye OBrien Iroegbunam in for fees. Alcaraz on loan in Jan.


Over the last 5 years we’ve been forced to sell (or not renew) almost every top outfield player we’ve had: James, Bernard, Digne, Richarlison, Mina, Gordon, Gomes, Iwobi, Onana, Allan, Godfrey

We’ve been forced to sell all our youth prospects: Cannon, Simms, Dobbin, Kean

We’ve backed one manager in January with signings for 5 years (one right back on perm deal, the rest loans)

We’ve lost our world class manager (may have gone anyway but sure our position didn’t help)

We’ve received two separate points deductions

We’ve operated in transfer profit for this entire period the only team in the prem to do so.

We’ve lost multiple millions in prize money for low league finishes because all our top players have gone


and still after all this we still apparently have to pay a bill in the summer? Why? When will it end. We’ve made some obvious missteps in recruitment but PSR has almost destroyed this club over the past 5 years. What did we do to deserve that? Spent some money after 2 decades of having none to try and be competitive?

It’s been an absolute sham and lo and behold just as we could come into a period where we might be getting out the other side and other clubs might be dragged in they’ll get rid of it for something else that will no doubt benefit others but shaft us.

It's primary function it to protect the scabs.
Totally baffling how we and other clubs signed up for it - they must of seen the eventual outcome.

There was a host of PL club owner who had no interest in competing and spending more of their money. This was the perfect tool for them. Moshiri/Kenwright, Ashley, Gold and Sullivan, Bloom, Leicester owners, Southampton owners. They all could just hide behind ‘well we would love to spend more but we can’t unfortunately’. It was absolutely genius legislation by the PL and entrenched their cash cows forever at the top and destroyed any club who tried to challenge from below, and all the turkeys voted for it.

Feels like with recent ownership changes there’s a few who might want to rock the oat now, Newcastle Villa Bournemouth all want to push on, Palace owners perhaps also and of course hopefully the Friedkins. They’ll no doubt be thinking of how they can draft some new rules now to protect the sky six ‘spending based on online social media size and shirt sales regulations’

We need to offer him a new improved contract. Hopefully Moyes has already started to improve him further and let him know how he helped bring Lescott and Jags on
