Is everyone assuming that these are recent photos still? From what I saw of them the pics of Rooney didn't look too recent. He's definitely added some timber since the pics were taken.
I agree that they don't show him in the best light and will obviously be causing more bad publicity for the club at a delicate time, but let's not assume that he's gone straight out on a bender after the Salford match and got himself in this situation.

I hope so too @RoyMac5

Exactly how I see it. Possibly there's things here and there which we're now wanting to account for differently as we're having to restate them whilst the EFL are taking the position that they are as they are except for the recalculated amortisation values, so a case to 2 ligitimate possitions conflicting and a dislouge rather than a new round of "these accounts are not what we expected - launch investigation then IDC...(etc)
Obviously, the ruling was that we had to redo our accounts for the years in question, not that we had to ammend our amortisation policiy and make no other changes to the accounts.

Yes.

True, but do you truly believe that we will come to a satisfactory conclusion for the club before the 18th August? I have lost a lot of my usual positivity in recent months regarding the club situation and I now approach most of these stories with a bit of skepticism.
To me, if the accounts were within limits with both the EFL and DCFC calculations, then we would just agree and submit. However, if we're pushing back a bit on the EFL calculations it must mean we're close to the limit or over. I'll be happy when the football starts again (as long as we can relax the embargo and sign some players)

A good thread posted by Chris Coles on Twitter in the last few minutes with updates as to where the club are at with the embargo, HMRC, EFL etc.

They aren’t recent pictures unless Rooney lost a lid of weight straight after the game.
Perhaps they laced his drinks with laxatives and sleeping pills…

It's simplistic, yes. But I understand the process and agree our current fit 1st team options don't fit that plan. We also play 2 deep and one further forward in a midfield 3 now that sees us not being able to move the ball forward effectively because the space between midfield and attack is too much.
Shinnie could be the closest we currently have to a destroyer, but his tackling is more reckless than well timed.
Alas, we are beggars and not choosers currently. If we were to look at our young prospects who can play DM, I'd say Jordan Brown or Festy Ebosele are possible "destroyers" on the fringes of the first team squad. However, Ebosele is being used in wider positions currently.

I think his standing tackles and interceptions are good, I can't remember him going in for many slide tackles last season. I think he's best when he just sits in front of the back 4 mopping up and closing down space. Too often last season he was asked to do too much attacking wise as we didn't have anyone else who could link the midfield to the attack, he wasn't very good at it and it expended his energy that should have been used defensively.
If we could bring in someone like Morrison or Carroll to link up the midfield and attack and leave Shinnie to sit in front of the defense then we could have a midfield that works quite well, but we have more important problems with squad to address first unfortunately.

If you ask Aberdeen fans I'm sure they'll tell you that his tackling is far from his best quality. He's definitely more of a runner. Has a decent engine and can recover well. He gets a lot of cards due to being a bit gung ho with slide tackles. The best defensive players don't slide into challenges, they position themselves correctly and block the ball/runner and stay on their feet.

It's a sublimated print so they're all the same. Read that the replica kit has the design all over, but the team kit is slightly ruined by having to have a black square on the back where the name and numbers go. Some rule so the number can be seen easily or something.

Refs are already pretty much blind without needing to do a magic eye whenever they make a booking. ? 

Season 21/22 is the season of Festy.
He will be the versatile player on the bench at first. Being able to fill in at full back, DM, on the wing and strangely at CF according to how Rooney used him last season. However, his performances will earn him a starting spot and we'll all be getting Ebosele printed on our shirts for the promotion parade.

Walks into the dressing room once every 6 months, gives his team talk which leaves the players scratching their heads before announcing his departure ?
