A couple of things to add on this discussion. The Premier League clubs themselves agree whatever financial rules apply. Thus, it was the clubs who decided last year to stick with PSR rather than change to a simpler squad cost ratio measure. Further, clubs playing in European competition must comply ...

Sullivan and Levy as co-directors and Fat Frank as manager could be hilarious (in an alternative sought of way)

As a reality check, Wolves put forward a proposal to scrap VAR just over a year ago and all the other 19 clubs voted against i.e. to continue with VAR.

Is the suggestion that the TV companies put pressure on the clubs to vote that way?

God knows why they see VAR as a positive for the game though.

The tricky bit is that the clubs vote for these rules themselves. Unless the regulator (is that in operation yet?) can force something unpopular on them.

Although there may be a good chance that the existing PSR rules will be ditched in the next few years, it will almost certainly be replaced with a Squad Cost Ratio measure similar to that used by UEFA for their competitions. As this is also tied to revenues it will do nothing to remove or reduce the...

All the things that Soucek can't do (control, pass, run) - which make him a passenger for most of the game - massively outweigh his contributions in either box. No team should be asked to carry a midfield player in such a way.

Well he’s on his way
We don't know where he’s playing
In a three or four
He’s not so fast
But we don't know why
Goodbye Killman, the king of surrender

Another dreadful VAR intervention to disallow Fulham goal at Chelsea 

When I was a kid we used implements from the shed to make up the numbers in back garden football. In this spirit, I propose the following lineup for tomorrow:

I'm not convinced that what Potts offers is what we are missing but surely he is a beter option than persevering with Rodriguez or JWP.

So, the ref sent off the wrong player?

What has become of Daniel Cummings? Is he injured?

Although it wouldn't be a surprise it could equally be yet another excuse planted by the club.In his latest West Ham piece in the Guardian, Steinberg spreads the blame around widely for West Ham’s current demise. Yet the feeling at the end was that the main culprit for 15 years of shocking recruitme...

She's Sullivan's fluffer.

Wolves fans also seem unhappy about their owners most of the time but they do manage to do a good job with player recruitment. Players Wolves have sold over recent recent years: Neves £47 m Nunes £53 m Neto £54 m Kilman £40 m Ait-Nouri £31 Cunha £62 m And possibly Larsen (who was linked with us last...

The best of Moyes at West Ham was when he had Alan Irvine beside him. Once Irvine left it went to pieces.

Together they will probably do a decent job at Everton

Has he hired Tomas Soucek as a postie?

The video that is elsewhere on this page points out we could lose £200m this year and still not be in PSR trouble As mentioned we have shifted a bunch of players some of whom like Fabianski , Ings & Antonio would have been on much higher wages than the incoming Shifting Alvarez for wages space ...

Hopefully we will make our one shot on target count
