How much does it make for us after we remove win bonuses, match hosting costs etc

There is a report in the telegraph saying the crowd at the Chelsea game was around 600 other reports say it was 3000 either way a poor turnout that must worry the FIFA lads with the world cup finals less than a year away .

Plus, I'd imagine it'd be much harder to entice potential signings without the prospect of European football. Amyone decent fancy Fir Park in January?

Our domestic league doesn’t bring in sufficient revenue. We need the European money

Only there for the money

A hard game and more so because we don't even know who will be at Ibrox or out of Ibrox before we play them looks like it will be the Thursday night cup again .

Sure we are the underdogs probably with a 25% chance but we always perform in Europe 🤞 we get the job done.

United have a hard fist five games very hard

I hope not but that looks like the Hammers off to a good start. Hard one for Burnley. Three points for Leeds.

We can't ignore money from Europe though even if we don't go far, some sort of European league stage football is important.

Concentrate on the league.

Just realised that Sergio Ramos scored for Monterrey last night. He extends his lead over Tavernier...

Due to PRS rules, pretty much every club in the world is a selling club now.

Ideally Raskin extends for 1 year and he stays this season. But he wants to play for Chelsea so could be off depending on suitors.

Rangers head coach Russell Martin is keen to build his side around forward Hamza Igamane and midfielder Nicolas Raskin, who are both in demand from potential suitors. (Football Insider) ... IMHO: we value them, so pay higher transfer fees, please! Het Nieuwsblad reports that Aston Villa have started talks with Nicolas Raskin about a potential transfer out of Rangers for the 24-year-old Belgium midfielder. (Het Nieuwsblad via Daily Record) Rangers are keen on a loan deal for right-back Max Aarons, but Bournemouth are believed to favour a permanent exit for the 25-year-old. (Sky Sports) Despite reports in Greece, no deal has been finalised with AEK Athens, who are keen on 30-year-old Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers. (Sky Sports)

Not very likely, since Shea Charles plays deeper than Diomande (who in turn would have more freedom), i.e. DM or even CH. Contracted to Soton till 2027. BTW, IMHO, as much as I like him, if we sell Raskin now, we'll get serious money to rebuild this ailing squad. We can't let these opportunities slip by, in the here and now.

Tough start for Arsenal. They could be bottom half of the table after a couple of months.

If there are offers. Signing one doesn't mean another is leaving, it's not causal. I hope Raskin is sold regardless.

New thread for next season including transfers and gossip. Fixtures revealed this morning. First weekend throws up belters at Villa Park and Old Trafford along with a good one at Elland Road: Liverpool v Bournemouth (Friday night) Aston Villa v Newcastle (Saturday Lunchtime) Brighton v Fulham Nottingham Forest v Brentford Sunderland v West Ham Tottenham v Burnley Wolves v Man City (Saturday Evening) Chelsea v Crystal Palace (Sunday) Man United v Arsenal (Super Sunday) Leeds v Everton (Monday Night)

Where was the advantage in being seeded? We didn't even have the consolation of being at home first. If Raskin is away, I fear for us.

Need to win at home, away is tricky in Greece. Unlucky with this draw but we have to perform. Our squad currently looks a bit weak.

Because we are a selling club now.

That's a tough one.

If Raskin isn't extending his contract, now is the time to sell him.

Why does a new signing mean someone is on their way?
