That’s actually the plot of Hotel California by the Eagles. Where have you been, Clive?
To be clear, they should have been resigning the whip and getting the hell out long ago. But if you aren’t going to do it *now*, you are not worthy of the name, the tarring will be warranted.

Like, yeah, okay, there’s a fact. What does it mean? What conclusion should we draw from it? What a pointless post from that account…

Also ignores the fact that one of the offside calls looked to be pretty clearly wrong but wasn’t reviewable, so what of that “record” then? Bah.

In that the PIF-clubs’ funds come from a single source, yes. Fine. But the point stands: the calculated risk of re-signing Salah on massive money came with a high degree of confidence he could be offloaded to Saudi if he dropped off to the extent you could no longer bear the financial liability.

Admittedly I can’t verify by pointing to specific examples, and this isn’t quite what you’re saying in terms of “*so that* you can then sell him, that’s the plan”, but I do remember a lot of talk along the lines of “re-sign him, and if he *does* fall off a cliff there will still be big-money buyers”
