    Morning Blood. Frustrating as it is tribunals can drag on for in excess of 18 months. Depends on the complexity of the situation, and Ferguson's is very complex owing to Palace's initial bid which was in excess of £10,000,000, his injuries and post operative rehabilitation.

    Aren't we still owed money from Barcelona or somewhere for that Louie Barry who eventually went to the Vile? How can the football ruling bodies allow him to be transferred when they still have not paid what they owe. Is it because we are little Albion and do not matter in the scheme of things whereas Barcelona are ''massive.''

    According to Steve Madeley (writing for the Athletic) the tribunal has been held and we're now waiting for the amount to be decided upon.

    Barcelona are in the financial brown stuff. Youth player compensation figures will be way down their list when it comes to paying out.

    La Ligua authorities have clamped down very heavily on both their transfer spending and wage bill. I believe their wage bill is now a third of what it was two years ago and they're currently struggling to register players such as Aguero arriving on free transfers.

    I've little doubt there'll be some sort of Covid get out for them before the season starts but transfers such as Barry's are of way less relevance to Barcelona than they are to us. Totally corrupt and despicable operation of a club.

    What those c??? Are doing is no different what other scum clubs Leicester and Pompey have done in the past.

    Spend money they haven't got to punch weight, win stuff, and then not pay they self employed painter who painted the stands for them.

    Total disgrace, but I am sure Barcelona Council will buy a s hitty car park off them for a massively inflated price like Real Madrid did when they were in the brown stuff.

    Be proud Baggies fans, that you never got the begging bowl out and have always paid your bills instead of defaulting on your debts and starting again with a different company name.
