or a plea to the bosses to give him some dosh to spend

It’s that. He never ever fails to moan about “resources”

Why the **** did we spend all that money on the best training ground in the country then?

Part of the plan? Maybe we spent more on the facilities and recent downturns in KP's earnings have meant we haven't as much in the kitty as we had planned for the squad.

I reckon we're in limbo mode until next season.

There's a fairly easy response I'd be sending his way if I was in charge of the dosh.

I fear his comments may have the blessing of the owner. King Power do not have the expendable cash they had a couple of years ago, so investment is likely to dwindle. It makes sense from their point of view to manage expectations.

That's a definite yellow for Burn. Atkinson is a dick.

 

[popillius]

Wrong thread you thick ****.

Yes, that's not a perspective I had considered.

There is of course the possibility that it's the truth.

Of course it’s the truth.

He has no problem lying through his teeth about performances though.

 

[fitz]

It could be we've got **** all to spend. Could also be they're not giving him any more as he's wasted a load on Vestergaard and the Mendy downgrade.

Empty Etihad costing Man City £86k per match but Chelsea and Spurs losing more

Manchester City are often focused on for their 'Emptyhad' Stadium, but the amount of unsold tickets they average each game is costing them a lot less than their Premier League rivals Chelsea and Tottenham

we have the least unsold seats per game in the premier league

Behind a paywall and I'm not spending £1. Does the text in the link say all that's needed to be said?

Not at all, this isn’t some tabloid newspaper where every article is just the headline repeatedly rephrased until word count is reached. Interesting passage:

Leicester’s top brass may have chosen to keep their powder dry this January because they want to save all their resources for a big push of the reset button ahead of 2022-23.

“ Rodgers was merely suggesting it is getting tougher to replicate what the club have achieved over the past few years.”

Bugger all about how it played out on Kevin Keegan’s Player Manager though. Standards are slipping.

I'm still at around word 200,000 on the Emlyn Hughes International Soccer article. Thrilling so far. Very little xg chat though.

Not a new article so not sure why it popped up on my Twitter feed, and not really about us, but always nice to be reminded of it https://theanalyst.com/eu/2021/04/the-battle-of-the-bridge/
