• Here we go again with who spends what. The Premier League will from next season move to a new system of financial fair play based on squad costs. The clubs met in London on Friday to vote on three possible methods of replacing Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) got 14 votes in favour and six against, which is the minimum number that is required to exact a rule change. Overall squad costs from next season will have to be limited to 85% of a club's revenue, although teams competing in Europe will have to adhere to Uefa's maximum of 70%. Squad costs comprise player and manager wages, transfer fees and agents' fees. Rules around sustainability, which set out a club's financial spending plans over the medium and long term, were passed unanimously. But anchoring, which would have placed a top limit on spending based on the money earned by the bottom club, failed to get the necessary support. Twelve voted against it, with seven in favour and...

• Sometimes I read a thread and think why would any young player want to come to this club. This time last year on these pages all I read was what a terrible waste of money Jake O Brien was from people who had never seen him play all because a manager didn't pick him. Now we have character assassinations for Aznou and Dibling based on very little evidence. The same people were reading quotes from the manager on how well he was training have cottoned on to the quotes that he picked McNeil because he was training well. I have no idea how the lad is training but I know that he's not playing, Alcaraz is not playing, Aznou is not playing, Armstrong our best midfielder in preseason is out on loan.Any situation where the manager has to chose between experience and youth he goes with the former. Tyrique George has gotten the nod ahead of him. With all the talents Chelsea have got their manager has managed to give him double the PL minutes of Dibbling. He has had over 3 halves of Ch...

• This is what David Moyes had to say about it, when pressed: “Well, I think the reality is I will never talk about other players, but if you’re talking about £60M, those sort of numbers, I don’t know if we’re quite at that level yet.” “Hopefully we’re working towards that and building ourselves back up. We’ve said many times about getting back on solid ground; we’ve done that under the new owners, with the new stadium.” “I don’t think we’ll be shooting for the stars right away. That’s not to say it won’t happen, but my gut feeling would be to say that’s not the market we’ll be in.” So... Plucky little Everton, knife to a gunfight. A weasel doesn't change its spots. ...
