It really is no coincidence that those feckers have been quietly

We’ll only threaten them next year buy improving the squad and not doling out new contracts on players who aren’t good enough.
The hangover from the Wenger years was the root cause of our last fall from grace. Too many average players rewarded with expensive contracts.
The Jorginho renewal I accept, as it appears his value off the pitch equates to the handful of appearances on it.
Partey needs to go. He gets robbed far too often and another year won’t improve him either.
ESR was farked the moment we signed Odegaard but the club could secure a decent fee for him in the summer. I’d still keep Jesus for his trickery but Nketiah needs to move on, although his ridiculous contract won’t make that easy.
Nelson, gone. Zinny, gone. Ramsdale, gone.
A top midfielder and forward must be the priority ?

The other thing about Jorgy is this.

If we bought a young, long-term Jorgy replacement with bags of potential - a Mudryk Jorgy - ideally we'd start him during his first season in the easier games, but might keep him on the bench for the Big 6 sides.

The thing about Jorgy is he can sit on the bench in the easier games where we play Dec as DM and a Havertz {or ESR or Fab etc} as the left 8 in a 4-1-4-1 but when we have the hard games, Jorgy can come in and play top of his game despite it being his first start in a month.

i.e. the total opposite.

It's almost like will buy a new young DM, and make him Dec's backup or the DM with Dec at 8, but for the first season, start Jorgy in the hard games.

I normally hate players we sign from the Chavs but I love Jorgy and Kai and GG {him, not me} and John Hollins. Jorgy was a very astute buy. So glad he's signing for an extra year. Would love him to stay beyond that, do his coaching badges, become MA's assistant and in a decade or two, manage us to a 13-0 win at Stamford Bridge, breaking our 12-0 Loughborough record.

Everyone saying that the FA, PL will let it slide or be lenient, let's not forget that they've pushed for this and mostly because of City's sheer unwillingness to be cooperative with them.

Maybe the existence of the allegations was made public inadvertently, you know by an anonymous source/trouble maker/whistleblower? I mean, if the powers-that-be would rather the whole thing was swept under the carpet.

Will take 20 or 30 years. They'll find Jimmy Hoffa before they find City guilty of anything.

In the meantime they'll quietly punish executives that used to work for them. Anyway, that seems to be the pattern.

Cannot stress enough, this is bigger than mere football.

Don't forget that Loughborough dicked us 8-0 four years earlier at their place

I knew we lost there 8-0 and won 12-0 at home. Didn't know they were 4 years apart. That's quite some turn around. When did Chelsea last hammer us, how many years before us winning 5-0 the other week?
