Joe Low

[Bluenile]

I can see it now, we keep offering piddling amounts of money, until another club steps in and gives them what they want!

I get immensely frustrated when we lowball on bids, but I think there is a slight exception with Low due to his odd contract. The length is supposedly kept private, but there's a general understanding that it's set to expire in 6 months, which does make it a bit of a minefield for bidding. The club will argue that they're better off saving the £800k-£1m in the short term, to offer him a better contract with a lower overall cost in the summer.

Issue with this line of thinking in this exact scenario is that we just need someone to come in at centre-half, and we can't really afford to fanny around.

We have two recognised central defenders at the club.

You'd like to think signing another would be a priority for the club.

The fact both are now injured and we haven't got anyone through the door is an absolute shambles.

Being a Billionaire in football doesn't mean an awful lot these days. Still have to meet PSR.

Newcastle United are a great example of having a pile of cash and not being allowed to spend it.

Man United also being bitten by the PSR rules, which disproves the theory that it would allow the rich clubs to close the gates and stop anyone challenging them. Even those that generate huge revenues have to spend them properly.

Good piece by Rory Smith on the Athletic about it if anyone is a subscriber. He wrote that the PL clubs didn't think it had teeth until both Everton and Forest were deducted points last season.

I like the principle of it. Makes the playing field a bit fairer.

Ok going after the likes Everton and Forset. The litmus test will be the outcome of the Man City charges.

Well you can say that, but Citeh have spent nia on a billion quid this window with players they've bought with fees and wages etc, think one or two are going there in close season, not 100% on that though.

I don't think there'll be anything significant there, the way the "experts" are talking and they Citeh probably couldn't give a fuk anyway.
