Does that mean he's going to Dortmund cos somethings triggered. Or that he's available for the release clause fee

He’s available for the release clause fee. Can’t see Dortmund spending that on a full back, personally.

Ornstein reporting Guimaraes has a release clause - get it done.

I think he’s a t’riffic player, but - and this is bordering on xenophobic - I really don’t want to see us sign a Brazilian older than the age of 25. Is there another nationality out there where the players seem to fall of a cliff almost overnight so frequently? Some of them well ahead of schedule, too.

We really should have signed him when he was in France, it was obvious how good he and Paqueta were, maybe they failed the no dickheads policy, who knows, but it’s scandalous we let them go lower down the league and stood firm and neglected the chance to rebuild when they were available.

A share for what? It's not in a good location. It'll host 20-something poor quality football matches a year (for a failing club) and presumably a few concerts in the summer.

You're stuck with Everton in there on a long term lease . What's the investment? Especially without a majority control of the stadium.

I can still see Anfield getting the best concerts. Liverpool have a world class commercial team who'll want to take advantage of the expanded corporate capacity of the ground. Billy Hogan said a while ago too they were trying to get the go ahead for more than six non-sport events per calendar year too. I doubt Everton even have a commercial team judging by how the club is falling apart, they put the one who ran the Everton in the community charity on the actual club board, it truly isn't a modern day football club in any department.

When people from outside the city realise where this stadium is located, and the amenities or lack thereof around it, I think it'll be widely regarded as a joke pretty quickly. Then there's the weather. Even pleasant nights either side of the summer will have the potential to be miserable down there. Then again, if you're going there to watch Everton it'll be pretty miserable anyway.

Red Star is actually a pretty cool club with a good support base. They're one of the two French clubs I have a soft spot for (long story), and I remember the protests against the takeover a few years ago. Except it's only now that I've face-palmingly realized that said takeover was the 777 we've been talking about this whole time. Hopefully they do sell as soon as possible.

You know what else is great? My 'main' French club is ESTAC, because it was my local team for a year. And they, of course, are now owned by fucking Abu Dhabi. I sure can pick 'em.

Maybe the LFC womens team could use it for midweek games, it's not like Everton will be much.

The independent Appeal Board has confirmed it intends to announce its decision regarding Everton Football Club before the last day of the current season.

This follows Everton appealing the two-point deduction imposed by an independent Commission on the club following its admission of a breach of the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules.

The Appeal Board’s intention to make its decision public in advance of Sunday 19 May will provide certainty to all clubs and fans.

If it is necessary, to achieve the intended timings the Appeal Board will publish its written reasons separately, by no later than 1 June 2024, in accordance with the Premier League’s Standard Directions.

No further comment will be made in respect of the case until the Appeal Board’s decision is issued.

In general, can we just fucking change things so that we don't get the penalty until an appeal has been made?
You get a sanction against someone and then sort of have to forget that that is even a thing and then wait again for the actual sanction. It's fucking rubbish.

Arteta on ssn saying his Arsenal team are the best ever in the PL. said he knows what it takes as he worked at Abu Dhabi and they are the best ever so he knows what level is required, and Arsenal are there. Just listening to him speak makes your skin crawl, he is a weird, creepy person. Just like his mentor.,

The fact is if Liverpool and United made a joint decision to move away from the prem it would die a death and the money and eventually the other non sport washing clubs would follow us both into whatever league we went with.
