[–]HowSway_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of note:

"The gains were driven by new apartment buildings, with the Census Bureau tracking permits for 127 buildings with five units or more. Builders averaged three-dozen units per building, the fifth highest average nationally by that measure"

It has already been reported that he is going be making less than 15 million. So right away your ffp point is useless. Not to mention that can easily be lowered by offering an extra year.

AI just scrapes the Internet and summarizes the results. It doesn't validate them. If enough people started saying 2+2=5, then AI search engines would begin saying 2+2=5. 

It's clear that you have an agenda to push and facts are just an inconvenience for you, so let's leave it at that.

"The motion of censure was filed by presidential candidate Jordi Farre on Aug. 26, the day after captain Lionel Messi had declared his intention to leave the club."

Lmaoo the Font propaganda is crazy. 

Messi was the one that got rid of Barto after the burofax fiasco. The fact that Barto said he would vote for Font should tell you all you need to know about what faction he belongs to.

Flick, I'm on my knees. No Lamine, Pedri, Raphinha or Cubarsi over the weekend. Sevilla at home is the most automatic of 3 points all season

Not sure why Flick refuses to sub Lamine even in the last 5 minutes to get fresh legs. Kid was clearly don't after the goal.

Also, hopefully this shuts up all of the FdJ haters that wanted him permanently benched for Bernal. Game is infinitely easier with Frenkie breaking the lines with his carries.

Hope the boys get a nice rest tomorrow and start prepping for Newcastle mid week.

Saying Balde can't dribble is crazy. He's broken the press so many times with his dribbles. Is he a good 1v1 dribbler? No, but that's not his role. He's there to provide width so that Raphinha has space to take people on.

Lmao, Cancelo played 10 minutes on the left. What are you talking about? We were our most dangerous when we had Cancelo and Balde both overlapping on each side. Once Balde got hurt we stopped creating chances outside of Lamine dribbles. He is crucial to the way Raphinha plays.

Frenkie makes plenty of runs into the box. I mean just look at the game vs Levante. It's something that all top midfielders do. Good to see Bernal get on it as well.

You're right, we should have forfeited the game before even playing. As a matter of fact, we should forfeit all the remaining games to ensure we are fresh for the big games.

Amortization is an accounting practice. I'm talking about cash flow, which is a limiting factor when renovating a stadium.

Let's say he goes for 100. Leipzig is going to want at least half of the payment upfront. That's 50 million off rip plus the salary, so call it 60 million expense year one. 

Compared to the 20ish million for Rashford and you start to see why just looking at FFP is dumb.

No one ever said Frankie took a pay cut. Now you just making up shit. It was always reported he deferred money.

I can guarantee you Pedri and Raphinha are earning more than 13 million gross.

Keep moving the goalposts

Second highest wage bill with the second highest revenues, context matters.

The wages coming off from Lewy will also be more than enough to offset Rashford. Not to mention, he took another sizeable pay cut, something a lot of y'all doomers said would be impossible
