Premier League clubs have approved a new alternative PSR, called Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) ; clubs will now be allowed to spend 85 per cent of their revenue, with these finances monitored each season; clubs voted against an anchoring system which many felt was effectively a 'salary cap'

21 Nov 2025 17:27:47
With the new government regulator David Kogan who's been employed by who he knows, not what he knows and will have to stick his nose into and get involved in running football, the new Paramount deal for the Champions League taking some money from the Premier, Sky's contract finishes at the end of the decade, it may be a downward spiral for English football, and the introduction of the European league, and back to no investment in what was the best League in Europe!.

21 Nov 2025 19:53:56
They've also closed the loophole that Villa and Chelsea exploited by stopping sales of hotels and women's teams to boost transfer spends on the men's first team which is a good thing. But I'm sure clubs will find other ways.

21 Nov 2025 20:08:12
They'll definitely find a way.

21 Nov 2025 22:01:13
Just means the historical big clubs will continue to dominate n nobody be able to break through. how can Newcastle the richest club in the world have to sell young lads to balance the books.

21 Nov 2025 22:24:06
This labour government is so desperate they'll probably try and tax football out of existence.

22 Nov 2025 00:33:05
Stripe, think about that then think, who cares. If clubs like us benefit from the monsters claiming poverty and having to sell international class youngsters to the rest of the league then yeah, give em that middle finger 🌳.

20 Nov 2025 16:46:55
Fancy us for at least a point at Anfield on Saturday

We have a much better squad this season than last and Liverpool are on the wane a bit atm

I’m going 2-1 Forest Ndoye and Jesus.

20 Nov 2025 18:13:51
Me too!
COYRS!

20 Nov 2025 21:59:13
We couldn't meet them at a better time, BUT on their day can beat anyone
I'm not expecting any points tbh, but looking forward to watching and you never know.

21 Nov 2025 00:37:14
At one time you just hoped we put in a good performance, know we can expect better and rightly so, going for a hard fought win to Nottingham Forest.

21 Nov 2025 11:36:06
I'd snatch their hand off if they offered us a point. Can't see us beating them, though. But we did last season I suppose which was when both sides were in good form. We're going in the right direction but I just think they'll have too much quality for us. 2-0 Scousers.

21 Nov 2025 18:59:13
We’ll get nowt at Anfield, yes, they are in poor form for their usual standards, but so are we! Would love us to come away with the 3 points but i just can’t see it happening. As long as we try hard and give them a good go, then that’s progress and the way forward.

21 Nov 2025 20:00:24
Agree perko
We can see if the leeds result and two weeks for some on the training ground under dyche has improved our confidence
I've got MGW down to score the winner with his head 😁🤣🤣🤣.

21 Nov 2025 21:01:00
Why laugh on the season ahead? It's the players letting us down. Paid more than enough. Just hurts me to fck.

21 Nov 2025 21:39:57
If it hurts you to fck, Bowie, I'd go to the doctors if I were you.

21 Nov 2025 22:06:58
I'd go to the docs on your joints etc. But didn't mention it milkman stalker.

21 Nov 2025 22:31:52
Don't let em get to you Bowie
It's what they want a reaction.

22 Nov 2025 00:54:20
All they have tbh dtp 👍.

19 Nov 2025 16:30:04
Would anyone else have James Garner back? He and Anderson would make an awesome midfield. Luiz might not always be available?

19 Nov 2025 18:24:18
Not for me BSE. I don't think that Garner is quite PL standard. I do think that he'd probably excel at one of the better CL clubs though.

19 Nov 2025 18:27:26
I'd have him back, but can't see him coming until the summer when he's a free player. Unfortunately Anderson will be on his way by then, bit of a shame that.

19 Nov 2025 22:41:20
Garner is a premier player end of
I agree Anderson we can't keep come the summer
But some bidding war will take place
He won't get to leave in January no matter what
Not done Brighton any harm keep selling and reinvesting
Garner on a free great buisness.

19 Nov 2025 23:23:54
Whenever we have played Everton, he has always impressed.

Would be an asset to the squad for sure.

20 Nov 2025 04:36:01
He's the perfect example of a player you need, like Yates is if you want to maintain your mid table mediocrity. Will always make a good living but never shine. Pointless signing for progress.

20 Nov 2025 08:07:36
You need a 24 man squad though, not just the first eleven.

20 Nov 2025 08:28:06
We'll do well to keep hold of Anderson in January so we will need a replacement. Garner will a good freebie at the end of the season. Brighton have got a good recruitment team, DTP. We've got Edu.

20 Nov 2025 08:46:44
At the moment Larry, mid table mediocrity would be wonderful …….

20 Nov 2025 11:09:35
Reading all the comments after mine I feel Garner would be a snip, and blossom under Dyche. I'm sure he'd love to return and would be dependable too.

20 Nov 2025 11:14:42
That's correct silkman edu 🤣🤣 downhill all the way with him. edu out.

20 Nov 2025 12:20:53
Edu bought most of arsenal squad, so give it time
Also he's not head of recruitment
We haven't done so badly for a team trying to establish ourselves in the premier when you take into account how difficult it is to spend and stay within the rules
We will make mistakes in the market, but we've bought quite a few gems who's value has soared
Edu will prove to be an asset and shut most of you up
Your like a bunch of kids, "I've lost my Nuno and it's all Edu fault"
The blame lies elsewhere for the turmoil over coaches this season, it should have been sorted before the season started.

20 Nov 2025 15:50:07
Good post DTP.

20 Nov 2025 15:59:07
Edus been buying most of tge players for years at arsenal that's why they never won owt 🤣🤣 as soon as he left they're flying with new signings that wasn't his edu put 🤣🤣🤣.

20 Nov 2025 20:18:49
Firstly Pedro Fierriea is head of recruitment skeggs at Nottingham forest and secondly, I'd love Edu to get the likes of Raya, White, Timber, Saliba, Caliafori, Trossard, Martinelli, Havertz, Rice, jesus and many more over the years he's acquired for Arsenal, but that isn't his job at forest outright
Marinakis knows that with three clubs to run he needs someone to overlook them all
That's his job and he has a lot of contacts in our main market of south America
Your blinded by "I'm on the piss with Nuno"

20 Nov 2025 21:03:26
No matter how you google everything spending your night trying to prove me wrong dtp 🤣🤣🤣 edu is in charge of recruitment for all the teams he has the last say pal same with the coaches and the big attacking exciting ange also getting rid of the coach that would of made it a better season and building a better squad keep googling pal one day you might be right in what you say edu out useless 🤣🤣🤣.

20 Nov 2025 21:31:52
Stop crying skeggs.

18 Nov 2025 21:52:42
Yawn. I'm bored. No club footy! 🥱

Stokey, can't you so one of your posts and start a chat/ argument about Jesus had a son who visited Glastonbury and Mary took him the the South of France or something? 😆.

19 Nov 2025 09:12:54
Morning Cyclist mate. I haven’t been to Glastonbury for many years. The legend of the holy thorn bush ( its descended bushes still grow in the Abbey Grounds) stem from Joseph of Arimathea ( one of the disciples) who supported visited there.
I believe it was Mary Magdalene who is reputed to have fled to the South of France and lived as a hermit in a cave there for many years after the death of Christ.

I think Dan Brown made use of this legend in his Da Vinci code books which are absolute tosh but gallop along at an entertaining pace. The films with Tom Hanks as Professor Robert Langdon are great fun.
My wife and I have just booked a cruise from Rome to Barcelona for our 70th birthdays in 2027, calling at a few places in the South of France so I’ll look into it and report back then ………💤💤💤💤💤💤😂😂😉😉.

19 Nov 2025 14:12:00
Hopefully your cruise will turn out like the titanics. then they'll be no need for you to do a report stokey 🤣🤣.

19 Nov 2025 15:23:48
Not the burning bramble bush then, Stokey. According to the bible Joseph of Arimathea (if he existed) buried Jesus and came to England but Jesus. Regardless of what the hymn will have you believe.

19 Nov 2025 15:46:34
If you drop into the French Riviera Stokey, you might look up Scott Fitzgerald's influences for The Great Gatsby.
Was lucky enough to be there in June and one evening walking at the Cap D'Antibes came across a cove which struck me as an image which could have been used for 'East and West Egg'; peninsulas where the opulent houses in the novel were.

(The Hamptons really).

19 Nov 2025 16:05:21
if you're going to the South of France, I recommend reading the Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. The authors tried to sue Dan Brown for plagiarism (Da Vinci Code is based on their book/ work and some "Masonic"/ Johannite myths).

The da Vinci bit is based on the idea that Leonardo da Vinci (and supposedly Victor Hugo among others) was the head of a secret order called the Priory of Sion who have guarded Jesus ancestors for centuries).

It's a good read and clearly designed to appeal to a certain audience. Not saying it's all true, but where there's smoke. 😉

And now it's time for the weather.

19 Nov 2025 16:09:53
Sadly for your hopes Skegs, it would be very unusual for there to be icebergs in the Med at any time, never mind mid June mate!
You may be aware that the Captain of the Titanic was John Smith, a Stokey. Hence the local brewery is the Titanic Brewery with its notorious slogan “ goes down a treat”…….

19 Nov 2025 18:14:11
Thanks Norfolk. I’m a big fan of F. Scott Fitzgerald and will re read his novels particularly “ Tender is the Night” set in the French Riviera. Probably the saddest ending to a novel I’ve ever read I think.
Silk, it’s all lost in the mists of time mate. As you say, no smoke without fire but I equate the Bible with the Arthurian legend and our own Robin Hood.

Great stories and Mallory’s “ Morte D’Arthur” and T. H. White’s “The Once and Future King” are amongst my all time favourites. The King James Bible is a masterpiece whether you believe in its contents or not.
Cyclist, thanks for that tip mate, I’ll give it a read!
👍👍.

19 Nov 2025 19:00:39
The first edition of the King James Bible, which was edited by Francis Bacon and prepared under Masonic supervision, bears more Mason’s marks than the Cathedral of Strasburg. -Manly P. Hall

Another clue about Bacon. Look up the 46th word in Psalm 46. Then the 46th word from the end of Psalm 46. 😱

And now it's time for the weather.

19 Nov 2025 19:06:24
Only icebergs in your drinks eh Stokey.

Talking of ships Captains, did you know the Captain of the Poseidon was Leslie Neilson, every time I've seen it I expect him to drop a one -liner. RIP good Sir.

19 Nov 2025 20:53:01
It was just an idea 😁 but there is a russuan sub there the novorossiysk maybe that will pop its head up for a but of target practice 🤣🤣.

19 Nov 2025 22:47:49
Stokey 1957 has a lot to answer for as born same year 🤣🤣🤣🥂🥂.

19 Nov 2025 23:58:20
Hey ginger bud, that Leslie nelson. Was he the one who took dierby 20, 000 leagues under the premier on the posiedon?

20 Nov 2025 08:48:56
Born just in 1956 DTP but it was certainly a true Golden era……👍👍🙄🙄🙄😂😂.

20 Nov 2025 16:10:10
Skegs, mate, I’m afraid the Russian sub ( the Novochok or whatever its called) has already popped up in the Med a few weeks back when it’s engines were knackered and, worse, began dripping diesel fuel onto the crew apparently. It limped home with every man and his dog photographing it as it crawled past Istanbul.
As Putin backed the losing side ( Assad) in the Syrian Civil War it was a long way back because the Russian naval base was captured.


By the way, mate, I’ve got to say you are reminding me of Clouseau’s boss Chief Inspector Dreyfus ( brilliantly played by Herbert Lom) dreaming of all the ways his bete noire could be “terminated”! Have you developed a nervous facial twitch yet? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

21 Nov 2025 11:41:53
Putin backed Assad we backed an Al Qaeda affiliate. Then TACO Trumputin invited their leader and their main funders and sponsors to the White House. Amazing but true.

18 Nov 2025 19:51:45
💩the bed, what a goal that was🌳.

18 Nov 2025 20:05:48
Offside.

18 Nov 2025 21:48:05
Did anyone watch Scotland? Bloody hell, what a game, 3 absolute worldies scored. 🌳.

18 Nov 2025 22:23:40
And here was me thinking you where bragging? 😁🤣🤣🤣.

19 Nov 2025 06:28:38
They were mate!

{Ed's Note - LAUDRUPHAGI has posted a new article entitled, Raskin's Value Debate Shows Reality of Rangers' Market Position

16 Nov 2025 21:07:50
For cloughs sake dtp, we brought a keeper in, who for me totally settled the defence. Got nothing but admiration for the laddie. You didn't like him from the off, so as PER try and justify your wrongs on football. Just clueless. Ok tell me a better keeper with the little coffers left on ffp? Just tires me when posters reach out in desperation.

Same with nuno. Get behind the squad for taylors sake. Oh hang on you've been there since bill n Ben the defensive men. Reds we ain't doing great, simples. Get on with it.

16 Nov 2025 22:33:02
Look Bowie I don't like six foot three goalkeepers that stand on their line and flap at everything and that is what sels gas always done
Superb shot stopper, but can't do the basic thing 9f commanding his area, which is what all quality goalkeepers do
I cringe everytime a cross or set piece comes in, because I know it will be panic
He's a real unit so why doesn't he use his size instead of getting bullied?
He's made many mistakes and they are there to see, I'm hoping dyche tells him to use his size and dominate from set pieces
When a keeper makes mistakes it has an effect on the defence not trusting him and the whole thing goes to pot
I really hope he can turn it around, but I really can't see it, unless he takes command
He'll pull off world class saves from distance though.

16 Nov 2025 22:36:32
Good luck silkman 🤣🤣🤣
You both don't like listening to humans, cus your waiting for the aliens to talk to you 🤣🤣🤣.

17 Nov 2025 03:41:52
There are too many planets in the entire universe for there only to be one with intelligent life on. I don't for one minute believe in aliens as it would make me just as deluded as someone who believes in a God but I least consider the possibility (which is much more realistic than the possibility of the existence of any God) whilst others are convinced of it. The people on Ancieht Aliens who believe it are just as mentally unstable, comical and scarily convinced as those who believe in God. Both concepts are very much tied together when you think about. But the scientific plausibility of alliens is much higher if you measure metrics of both concepts. That's my honest view.

Not sure what Silkworms real view of it is, though.

17 Nov 2025 06:50:58
I have no "Comet" on this subject!
☄️☄️☄️
🤭🤭🤭.

17 Nov 2025 06:55:18
Who "Star"-ted this anyway!

17 Nov 2025 06:59:53
Ravers don't "Protone" to be someone your not mate!
😉😉😉👨‍🚀👨‍🚀👨‍🚀.

17 Nov 2025 08:35:41
I neither know nor think that I know whether aliens exist or not. Nor do I care for that matter. It's not something I've really looked into. But a friend of mine said years ago that the Pyramids must have been built by aliens as that's the only logical conclusion. He could never explain how he came to that conclusion. He was widely mocked by all.

Ironically he's religious. Which was hilarious in itself as the religious don't do logical conclusions. Hence, their belief in God and the rest of the supernatural world. I think he believes in ghosts as well. And Karma. We still mock him to this very day. Both for his hypothesis on the Pyramids and his devout religious beliefs.

17 Nov 2025 09:18:17
See this is why international breaks are terrible mid season.
Ravers has his tinfoil hat on.
DTP still trying to justify rubbish spouted a year ago.
Silkman talking sense.

Please beam me up Rogie🤣🌳.

17 Nov 2025 11:17:33
Rumours going around this morning that Jude Bellingham is trying to get on to this site! Scurrilous, surely!

17 Nov 2025 11:38:28
Rogie, excellent mate! I seem to have started a “cosmic dust up” though …. 😂😂😂👍👍
First of al, I think the existence of God and aliens are two entirely different things. The former is a matter of personal faith, the latter is science based on empirical deductable evidence which, admittedly in the actual absence of sightings is extrapolated from life on Earth and proven scientific theories like Darwin’s theory of evolution and Einsteins theory of relativity ( along with things like geology, evidence from meteor strikes, space probes, the Big Bang work at CERN etc).
It’s like climate change. You don’t BELIEVE in it, it’s measurable and scientifically provable. The only “doubts” are from countries and individuals who stand to gain by obfuscation for personal, political or economic reasons.
Personally I have no Faith in Gods existence but I do approve of the comfort religion can give to people and I am intensely moved by art, music and writing inspired by religion, such as listening to Mozarts Requiem, seeing the Last Hudgement in the Cistene Chapel by Michaelangelo, reading Graham Greenes “ The End of the Affair” or Matthew Arnold s poem “Dover Beach” or the medieval cathedrals etc.
In an infinite universe it’s logical to assume that we are not unique. It’s also logical to assume that ETs will have evolved differently in different climates or conditions ( like black skin or narrow eyes in humans, or evolved abilities in animals to survive intense cold or heat for example).


Following Earth history it’s also logical to think that evolution will result in the rise of human industry with corresponding pollution alongside the development of planet destroying nuclear tyoe weapons whereby advanced societies will be destroyed long before they achieve speed of kight travel. That’s if they are not destroyed by natural forces such as asteroid strikes etc.
Staggering achievements by ancient civilisations like Stonehenge and the Pyramids have a wealth of accompanying evidence of human construction. The great mystery is why an agrarian subsistence society would expend all those resources and man hours constructing these structures? Probably religious and to please the Gods …
As a footnote, oddly, as scientists at CERN for example edge nearer to re creating the conditions of the Big Bang start of the Universe, they are resorting to using quasi religious and mystical ( almost Biblical) words and phrases to explain, basically, how you can create something from nothing……….
It’s like the funky LSD trip in the final bit of Kubricks “2001, Space Odyssey “. How to know the unknowable and present it to an audience…” Don’t even get me started on the King James Bible and the Book of Genesis “In the beginning was the Word”…….

17 Nov 2025 11:41:23
Religion and Aliens has a subject on here is like a lot of stuff on here made up rubbish we all know Jesus is a Forest supporter 🤡🤡🙏.

17 Nov 2025 13:27:06
Deduce not deduct
By the way, it may well be that aliens approaching Earth see Trump, Putin and the right old mess we are making of it down here that they decide to fly right on past us …….

17 Nov 2025 15:12:37
Wouldn't blame them at all. lol!

17 Nov 2025 15:23:09
Like many posts on here now, superbly written Stokey and I am tending to think you have a career in lecturing/ journalism/ polemics beckoning. I am not one for the "why are we here? " stuff, but I will refer to your post in future, really thought provoking!
Really impressed generally with the written quality of the posts, compared wth the early days-huge improvement.

You are right RHR, these international breaks are responible for us having time to create mini-masterpieces, or bore us stupid? No more 'till March!

17 Nov 2025 16:19:31
Is there life on mars? Ravers/ silkman definitely one. Doesn't take sherlock.

17 Nov 2025 17:11:07
oops! Sorry! Should have read RRH not RHR. I CAN SEE THE IRONY!

17 Nov 2025 17:31:27
Jesus was a nut job, Jester.

17 Nov 2025 17:35:38
Obviously there is, Bowie. Everyone knows that.

17 Nov 2025 17:55:08
I thought you’d be interested in this alien concept Bowie, mate, what with your namesakes Ziggy Stardust persona and Roeg’s masterpiece “ The Man Who Fell to Earth” with your man as the alien Thomas Newton!

17 Nov 2025 18:27:00
I'm a firm believer in men from outer space, they've been here for a while, there all around us. you only have to look at Westminster the place is full of them!. But on a serious note we would have to be narrow minded to think earth is the only inhabited planet in the entire universe.

17 Nov 2025 18:34:02
He's religious so he probably thinks there definitely are aliens. But God built all the aforementioned structures. On his own.

17 Nov 2025 18:40:15
Stokey. Convergent evolution is common. Life has existed on Earth for 3.7 billion years. The eye has evolved many times and alwys converges on the same form. Many other traits have.

Intelligence like ours? How do we know it hasn't happened before on Earth. What if say, a species of dinosaur did?

What if they developed deep space travel and stuff. Went off into space in a space station and their mates were wiped out by a comet. Then they returned?

Aliens.

And now its time for the weather. 😜.

17 Nov 2025 19:21:45
No way was there life on earth 3.7 billion years ago. The Earth's only 10, 000 years old. Tops. No more than that.

17 Nov 2025 19:49:12
I thought Shelvey was an alien signing when we had him🤔.

17 Nov 2025 20:13:15
Ask Bowie about the 10, 000 years old as he's a god botherer.

18 Nov 2025 01:11:22
@Bowie mate i think its psychosis in the case of DTP and dissociative identity disorder with the other one/ two, the pronouns used in the second case would probably be Me/ them/ him/ they/. Her? 😉🌳.

18 Nov 2025 11:05:09
Cyclist, Norfolk and others many thanks for all the very interesting “aliens” posts which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading. 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻
Before proper football comes back may I leave this thread with the the words of the late, great Les Dawson……
“I was sat at the bottom of the garden a week ago, smoking a reflective cheroot when I happened to glance at the night sky and I marvelled at the millions of stars glistening like pieces of quicksilver thrown carelessly onto black velvet.

In awe I watched the waxen moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an amber chariot towards the void of infinite space wherein the tethered bolts of Jupiter and Mars hang forever in their orbital majesty; and as I looked at all this, I thought “I must put a roof on this lavatory”……. 😂😂😂.

18 Nov 2025 18:31:02
Ironically, the missus has put the film 'Signs' on. You couldn't make it up. 🤣🤣🤣👽👽👽.

18 Nov 2025 21:18:09
It’s a great film Ravers. I nearly 💩my pants when I first saw the cornfield scene mate…….

18 Nov 2025 21:36:00
I saw it years ago. Nothing scary at all happens. The missus was more afraid of it than our daughter and she's only 7.

18 Nov 2025 21:40:19
I put that on without knowing what it was about once. It freaked me out.

Love how international breaks make us spin off in all directions.

18 Nov 2025 23:05:23
I'm at a complete loss to explain how anyone can be scared/ freaked out/ afraid of that film. Me and my daughter was taking the pi@@ out of my missus for it.

18 Nov 2025 23:12:45
Do any of you go out? 😁🤣🤣🤣🤣.

19 Nov 2025 07:23:20
My nights out are Thursday Friday and Saturday. Occasional Wednesday as well.
