That should focus them on sealing a deal for a Premier League club soon then! Or the money they raised goes back to investors.

Yes, due to the nature of the way they have raised the money, they have 24 months after the initial IPO to find a home for their investors cash. Should that clock run out then the money is handed back. I think it may be down to under a year left now.

Don't get too excited... they probably have no interest in Saints! 😁 They were looking at Liverpool, so quite a step down to then go for Southampton.

RedBall raised $575m in its initial public offering (IPO) last summer to buy a Premier League team and sought to raise another $950m through Redbird Capital Partners and other private outside investment in its second run to try and raise as much almost $1bn. "Chancers" don't raise that level of finance! Investors are clearly taking them seriously.

I didn't say they are preferable to the other options you gave, it is hard to determine which of those three would be best. But... Redball don't appear to be chancers, the CVs of their board are very impressive and they have raised a huge amount of money from investors for a potential PL deal.

I'm not sure what you mean, as the Dallas Cowboys are a NFL team.

As Ralph just said... "injuries are not covid cases". Isaac Hayden was suspended vs Man Utd, so he is back for them to play Saints. So Saint-Maximin and Wilson out, Hayden back only puts the one player down on what they had vs Man Utd. Plus the game vs Saints is on Sunday, so possibly current Covid cases they have will be back after 7 day isolation.

It worked today... 1st goal from one

Redmond and Broja did a lot of high intensity sprints 2 days ago. Tella on bench after missing due to Covid.

He is on the bench after having Covid... just like Hasenhüttl said he would be in the pre match press conference.

More likely to be 4222 with Walker-Peters and Perraud as fullbacks and Valery in midfield. Or Valery as a third centre back in a 352.

So what? It is still making him miss a game to stop him missing a different game. It is self defeating.

So make him miss a game, to stop him missing another game? Isn't that self defeating? 🤔 Main reason not to play him would be if he was struggling to be fit for today's game given he played 2 days ago.

Hayden was suspended vs Man Utd, he is not suspended vs Everton or Saints so that only leaves them one down. Plus covid cases Newcastle have may be out of isolation before Sunday.

It isn't a spat. It is a question asking you to explain what you meant. Hardly unreasonable!

You didn’t answer the question... I asked why is it ridiculous?

Why is it ridiculous? Did you think it was ridiculous throughout 2020? Sure we haven't done great during 2021, but I think that shows it isn't the formation that was the problem.

Isaac Hayden was suspended and missed last night's game, but he can now play for them vs Everton and Saints. Plus covid cases they had for last night's game may well be back for the Saints game as it is still a few days away on Sunday.
