“Apparently Cambridge have 3 out for Internationals (but the game hasn’t been postponed - maybe the call up was too late?).. and a key midfielder injured (Liam Bennett).. and a bench full of kids; so it may not be as bad as first thought”

Message from a mate who’s in Cambridge hospitality this afternoon.
Cambridge's squad is also threadbare as well.

3 o'clock KO on a Saturday. What trickery is this?

I think we will look back and see these rules benefitting football as a whole. Before them Villa and Newcastle only had a 1% chance of winning either of the Prem League or Champions League and that has not changed. What should change is squad management. Spurs have been terrible at it and that is why they are below smaller spending teams.

That squad is beyond threadbare. Still have a hunch we’ll win, with Bursik proving his worth again

Indeed Trigs. I remember when there were no subs!

Cor you youngsters worrying that we’ve only got 5 subs ;)

Yeah I remember Ashamu signing.

Couldn’t tell you when it happened though. Makes me think of SeaWorld’s killer whale.
Robin Ashamu appears to be a product of the QPR academy.

That's OK Airsy. JJ never uses subs properly anyway, so it won't really affect us.

Who is Ashamu? He's not listed on the OS as a player.

If we can only field 5 subs, why wasn’t this game called off? Was it our choice?

Only 5 subs means that we can't make our full quota of outfield changes if we want!

Yeah that’s an interesting view Leddy I’ve thought all along that the rules shouldn’t be there to stop clubs creating the best football teams they can with the resources available. Similar to how they’re stifling Villa and Newcastle at the moment when Newcastle have the world’s richest state backing them.

I’m informed that the rules are there to stop clubs cratering once an owner decides or is forced to to stop spending - expensive and lengthy contracts remain and new owners may not want or be able to cover those payments. I can see both sides but when was the last time a Premier League club faced that scenario and even more when was the last time a Premier League club failed to navigate a scenario like that? Feels like the rules were made with mostly good intentions but are maybe not fit.
Financial Fair Play rules were marketed as a way to stop clubs over spending and ending up in financial difficulties and administration. Man City are about the only club that can out spend all their rivals without their owners having to worry about financial difficulties and the money running out. FFP rules are based on the ratio of spend to earnings. The problem for Man City was that too much of their spending came from the owners rather than from earnings.

I think it's worse where other clubs are spending money they don't have rather than Man City spending too much of the money their owners do have.

And the surname “pinto” means “spotted” so fair play to the young man for spotting all the corruption and not putting up with it.

Could do with more like him.
Interesting reading that it was the actions of a Portuguese computer hacker, Rui Pinto, who accessed Man Ciry internal docs to start the process.

Have we kept five clean sheets out of seven league games so far?

Deduct 80 points (next season) and 5 year transfer embargo should be the punishment
