Isn’t the money Rio was going on about just a company loan in the way it was done anyway?

Rio has a lovely clothing line being sold in Sports Direct and is therefore a corrupt little oval office

I think a lot of Abramovich's money in Chelsea are considered low-interest or no-interest loans, too.

it just blows my mind how anyone looks at Newcastle under Ashley's ownership and doesn't think wow what a loving poo poo owner, literally everything from the state of the stadium today, the massive reduction in staff, the piss poor training facilities, the absolutely horrific hiring (Kinnear, Wise, etc.), the matching of relegations in our entire history versus his 11 years in charge, the lies on TV, season ticket price hikes, free sports direct branding, literally everything he's done while at the club has been shite but bless him he's put in £150m of his own money (but not really)

It’s all money laundering with proceeds from *magically becoming the owner of 10% of Russian natural resources* criminality anyway, and good value if he gets back 1/4 of what he puts in.

the only reason Ashley isn't letting the club sign players is because Benitez hasn't signed a new contract. there is money available for players but he refuses to do it. He could have even taken all the profits out and lowered his debt total and as a result dropped his asking price and maybe sold the club. But he hasn't even done that

I'm curious about the Boly red card: https://twitter.com/KIoppology/status/1084908539804635137?s=19 In the third angle here, you can see Silva recognize he's not gonna get the ball, hesitate, then step in front of Boly's otherwise clean challenge. I get that to the ref in real time it looks like a reckless studs up challenge, but if it had been a little more clear would the ref have had a little mercy on Boly? I guess I mean is there any accountability (other than potential injury) for players intentionally endangering themselves to draw a foul?

# ? Jan 14, 2019 23:53 |

No player is going to intentionally step into a studs up challenge, that's some serious mental gymnastics you're going through.
|
# ? Jan 15, 2019 00:01 |

A tackle like that is only a foul if you catch the player, right? Boly's trajectory would not have caught Bernardo if he didn't stretch his leg into the path of it, whether or not Bernardo was going for the ball. Would the punishment have been less if Boly had gone with his toe? You're probably right that I'm over thinking it and there's just no room for that kind of tackle anymore, but I don't feel like Boly was completely at fault because at the moment he commits it appears as though there's no risk to Bernardo. brasstassels fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Jan 15, 2019 |

"Otherwise clean challenge" jesus christ. Boly leaps off the ground and goes in with studs up, it's not a slide tackle and it's reckless.

It’s still a straight red. I don’t like it but them’s the rules.quote:Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force and endangering the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.

It's one of the reddest reds given this season, even I can see that through any bias against City. Claiming otherwise is up in the dumb ranks along with sandwich "toppings" and watching a recorded match thinking it's live.
