    Can someone explain

    Can someone explain to me what exactly has gone on the last few days?

    Yes.

    We have the richest owners in the world but, because the PL is so corrupt, we've had to sell a bright prospect or face a points deduction.

    The injustice is astounding but there doesn't seem like there's any huge will to challenge it.

    Meanwhile, Man U are paying interest only on a fucking enormous debt and Chelsea are selling land and assets back to themelves with impunity.

    I asked AI if we needed to sell players to stay within PSR. It said no but we are near the limit.

    Great sum up by Zip.

    We're in same position as Villa, Forest, Everton and Chelsea (apart from richest owners for all of them).

    You see there are these people called toilet bowl water drinking, half eaten trashed food eating, bottom feeding sniveling parasites called Journalists.

    These professional irrelevances spend every hour of every day making up completely fictional stories based on the gossip from an Agent or just conjured out of thin air whilst on the phone with another one of their 'colleagues'.

    So this bunch of clowns once again post a pack of nonsense to wind the fan base up. Get people more and more angry and outraged. It's completely unnecessary but the click and view keep rolling in, the stooges get big pats on the back from the editor as the ad revenue rolls in from page after page of inciteful garbage is reposts, shared and tweeded about.

    It's a self-fulfilling cycle of factually incorrect misinformation, that has spun off it's own cottage industry of 'fan-channel' outrage vehicles.

    I've been in the media business for over 20 yrs, I've worked as an engineer, project manager and now business owner supporting the 24 hr news media. I see it every day.

    There is a system called 'AP Reuters News Room' - It's the entire world of news stories collated into one feed. From the whole AP (Associated Press) journalist network, BBC, Al Jazeera, all the regional, local and nationals from the USA, Every nation on earth and freelance journos contribute their stories.

    I've watch thousands of hours of these feeds come and go over the years. Seen headline news stories pass by without a single word being printed, a single video package going to air, a single podcast minute being dedicated to it.

    Sports was the last to completely go over to the dark side of 'if it bleeds it leads', reporting.
    The stories that make the news are the ones that will evoke outrage and sensationalism, the manner in which they are reported, with scathing headlines and zero substance.

    They pray on the fact people don't read just promote the outrage.

    From what I gather we tried to sell Gordon and Isak, we actually held talks with Liverpool and Chelsea. We sold Minteh and Anderson with Wilson on his way next.

    How much will we be able to spend after these sales?

    What happens next summer will we have to do the same again?
